How could God take on human flesh, since human flesh itself is subject to the fall and therefore imperfect and corrupted by sin. For instance, it decays, is subject to disease, etc. Was Jesus immune to this? Or are you suggesting that Jesus's earthly body was composed of some different substance, not flesh at all; that the spiritual bit of God that came to this planet wore the Jesus form as some kind of armour against sin? (In which case Jesus was not in any true sense a human being and in no position to lecture other human beings on how to live. It also leaves unanswered the question of how exactly sin limits God's actions.) Doesn't the Bible say that Jesus was prey to the same temptations that afflict all of us? Therefore he was human. By your own logic, therefore, God could not reside in him. |

nobody would know who will be punished and who will be rewarded ... so I don`t really take anybodys statement seriously and I won`t be offended by that , let everyone believe in whatever he would like you don`t believe in God , fine , I respect that he believes in God , fine , I respect that too I think magus tried very hard to explain his opinion , I found it very interesting Quote:

Exd 3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush [was] not consumed. No, nobody can see God the Father and survive in a sinless body. His glory and majesty would be too overwhelming. You'd probably fall to your knees and have a heart attack. Probably 1000s saw Jesus and lived among Him. But He was a human, which is the difference. |
