Who got Christ up from the dead if God died? If God is spirit and no man hath seen him at any time how is it people saw Jesus? If God can not be tempted an tenpteth no man how was Jesus tempted in all ways yet with out sin? If Christ is seated at the right hand of God then is God sitting on His own right hand??? When Jesus was baptized by God why did God say "this is my Son in whom I am well pleased" ??? When Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane and Asked God "to let this pass from my own hand" regarding his impending crucifixion if he was God why didnt he just decide for himself? Why did he then say " not my will (the Sons will) but thine will (Gods) be done???? if you can answer any of these with scripture not with man's opinions and private interpretation please post. By all accounts the Jews awaited the Son of God. Not God the Son. 385 AD was the first time the Roman church promulgated this during the nicene creed. Not one single disciple believed Christ to be God. Take God at His Word.
The Father is God. The Son is God. The Spirit is God. They are separate but the same, able to interact with each other yet with the same qualities of omniscience, all-knowingness, perfection, absolute righteousness, loveliness, and love. They have a united will and united essence, yet are functionally different. The true nature of the Trinity is above human understanding. Jesus had human emotions and pains and yet no sinful actions, thoughts, desires, or passions. He found joy in praying to the father and also prayed as an example to us. He lived as the ultimate example of Christianity, and also was fully God and fully man. Not 50/50. 100/100. There is nothing non-human and nothing unholy about Him. He was the only one who is perfect, the only one who was good enough to be the sacrifice to pay for our sins and redeem us because He is God. I recommend reading up on the Trinity to get a deeper understanding of this and some scripture to back it up. The doctrine of Jesus’ divinity was not invented at the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) but was a fundamental aspect of early Christian theology as is evidenced by this post.
John 1:1 - “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Jesus is the Word.
John 20:28 - Thomas addresses Jesus as “My Lord and my God.”
Romans 9:5 - Jesus is referred to as “God over all, blessed forever.”
Titus 2:13 - Jesus is described as “our great God and Savior.”
Philippians 2:5-6 - Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped.
Hebrews 1:8 - Jesus’ throne is said to be “forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom” (addressing God).
2 Peter 1:1 - Jesus is referred to as “our God and Savior.”
Excellent post. It’s amazing how suddenly people have started trying to discredit the Council of Nicaea almost as a meme. This is simply where the early Church began to formalize its teaching as the centuries began to tick by and people were starting to make up new stuff that was alien to what all Christians knew. Nicaea is your friend, guys. —Orthodox Christian anon
Updoot for you! https://wordsofgrace.blog/2012/07/12/the-trinity-illustrated/
all true observations and quesitons
This is one reason jewish people dont follow christ, like you said they were looking for son of God. The interpretation that Christ equals God has lost many.
