JESUS IS NOT GOD

[onewithhim]

I would very much like to get opinions on this subject. I'll provide several verses from the King James Version of the Bible, and I ask you to give me feed-back.


Jesus' words:

1) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." (John 5:19)

2) "My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me." (John 7:16)

3) "Neither came I of myself, but he sent me." (John 8:42)

He replied, after the Pharisees accused him of making himself God:
4) "Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the SON of God?" (John 10:36)

5) "For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say....Whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak." (John 12:49,50)

6) To his Father in prayer: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God , and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (John 17:3)

7) "I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and your God." (John 20:17)

To John in the Revelation:
8) "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God..." (Revelation 3:12)



Do these quotations show that Jesus was NOT God?

Do YOU believe that he claimed to be God?

"The righteous will inherit the earth and live on it forever." (Psalm 37:29)

Correct.

But they will no longer have natural physical bodies!!

Then what is the point in living on a physical Earth?? Persons with spirit bodies dwell in the spirit realm, not the physical one.

You have been mislead--Only the little flock are getting spirit bodies. The great crowd is staying on earth as mortals, but in a perfect state, never sick, diseased, not aging like now, never without. Gods plan has not changed, he created the earth for mortals to enjoy.

Spirits cannot die, so they can live anywhere and everywhere.

The current ruler of the world is the devil, or Satan. And Satan is a spiritual being.

Luke 4:5-7
5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

After the Second Coming, Satan will be defeated, and the earth will once again become part of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Humans are being groomed to replace the angels who were assigned to care for and replenish the earth eternally after its original creation in Genesis 1:1. Some of those angels rebelled against God and warred in heaven under the command of Satan.

Those humans accepting Jesus as their Savior will be born again of the Spirit (God) as spirits and rule the earth forever and ever with their Savior. Those humans choosing not to accept Jesus will perish for all eternity, never to live again.

Gods plan has not changed, he created the earth for mortals to enjoy.

Mortals can enjoy the earth only until they die -- not forever.

Mortal humans were not even created in the original creation.

They most assuredly were mortals. There was a tree of life which God hid from the world after the rebellion. It probably regenerated mortals so they could live forever.

Of course they were mortals. Yes, we agree on that. But they were not created in the original creation:

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

That is all that is described about the original creation of the heaven and earth.

Adam and Eve were not created until about 4.5 billion years later in the re-creation of the earth beginning in Genesis 1:3.

So mankind was Plan "B."

Imperfect scientists say 4.5 billion years-- But Gods word shows a 6 day creation and God rested on the 7th. And according to the bible 1000 years is as a day to God-- Thus more likely it took 6000 years for all creation to be done.
Gen 1:1 actually says-heavens= our atmosphere, outer space, Gods dwelling place all referred toas heaven in the bible in places.
Example-Elijah was taken to heaven in the chariot Godsent, But he went through our atmosphere to another part of the earth and retired-10 years after that chariot event Elijah wrote a letter to the king. 2Chron 21:12-15-- blind guides teach he went to Gods dwelling place, but the NT assures no man entered heaven from earth prior to Jesus- John 3:13

Except that God specifically defined the Genesis re-creation days as one evening and one morning:

Genesis 1:5
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Gen 1:1 actually says-heavens= our atmosphere, outer space, Gods dwelling place all referred toas heaven in the bible in places.
Example-Elijah was taken to heaven in the chariot Godsent, But he went through our atmosphere to another part of the earth and retired-10 years after that chariot event Elijah wrote a letter to the king. 2Chron 21:12-15-- blind guides teach he went to Gods dwelling place, but the NT assures no man entered heaven from earth prior to Jesus- John 3:13

The heaven and the earth were created "very good" in verse 1.

And note that only the earth had become dark, empty, and void by verse 2:

Genesis 1:2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

So the re-creation begun in verse 3 only details the re-creation of a decimated planet earth. That restoration of the earth to its very good condition was completed in 6 twenty-four hour days about 6,000 years ago.

What would logically be the first item to fix on a dark, empty, and void planet?

Genesis 1:3
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

I haven't seen any Scripture that backs up your point of view.

No, the fact of the matter is that mankind was all of plan A. The earth was being prepared FOR mankind. It took 5 billion years for everything to be just right for mankind.

I agree with you except where you say that the earth is 6,000 years old. JWs agree with Science that the earth is 5 billion years old. The "days" in Genesis are of undetermined length. They are NOT 24-hour days, nor are they thousand-year days. Genesis 2:4 even says that "this is a history of the heavens and the earth...in the DAY that Jehovah God made the earth and heaven." He made everything in one day? You see, It shows that "day" is of undetermined length.
