My Father is IN Me

And just as the Father was IN Jesus, he prayed that the Father would be IN them in the same way that he and his Father were one. So was he praying that all his disciples would be God?

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (Jn 17:21)

The Word was God

But the reason he is known as the Word is that what was taught to Jesus by his Father was the only thing that came out of the mouth of Jesus. He lived, breathed, taught, lived and died for the Word of God that he received from his Father.

This was a very fitting metaphorical title to apply to Jesus. Jesus is called the Word of God. Literally speaking, the Words of God are the words spoken by God, that proceed from the mouth of God. Being a metaphor, what Jesus has in common with the the Word is that he learned the Word of God from his Father; he came to earth with a message that was the Word that he brought from His Father; he lived the Word of God; he taught the Word of God and risked his life for the Word of God.

The phrase, “Jesus is the Word of God” is obviously not literal. It is used as a metaphor because of what he was, who he was, and what he did. Jesus and his Father are not one and the same. Continue reading

Jesus: Priest, King and Prophet

Jesus was a Priest-King

Jesus was not only of the royal lineage of Judah but also of the priestly lineage of Levi. He got his Kingship through his biological father Joseph, and his priesthood through his mother Mary.

Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne (Zec 6:13)

If Jesus is Only a Man, Then…

If Jesus is only a man, and not God as most Christians believe, then that changes everything we have ever thought about existence. If Jesus was not God and was only a man like you or me, then everything that applied to Jesus applies to us also:

  • Jesus existed before this life.
  • He was a spirit incarnated into human flesh.
  • He was a creation of God and knew God and learned from God.
  • All things that Jesus could do are possible for us also, since we also are “sons of God”.

Christians believe there is an actual place called Hell and that’s where only unbelievers go — for eternity! However, Believers also may go to the same place as unbelievers, according to Jesus. The following verse is an example of just that:

The lord of that servant (a believer) will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. (Lk 12:46)

The difference between us and Jesus, according to the Bible, is that he was the first born of God; he was just the first (not the only) to be begotten of God. The word “begotten” couldn’t possibly mean God had an intimate relation with his wife and Jesus was conceived — that is an absurd idea. But what it does mean is that he was only the first to be born of God in a metaphorical sense. That means we are begotten of God ALSO.
