How wonderful to learn more everyday about our Savior. "And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life." I John 5:20

Learning more in the last two years than I have my entire life. I have R. C. to thank for freely sharing, through close examination, Reason & Understanding, such a rich portion of spiritual food for a stronger minds, bodies, and souls seeking the Triad.
Could you guys all pray for me that I'd be able to love God HONESTLY more than anything in this world, and that it would make me happy to love him and to feel his love, and the same with Jesus!
THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH in the same way God said LET THERE BE LIGHT and there was light We don’t know how We don’t need to know We read it we believe it We share it
THE MOST IMPORTANT MASAGE IN THIS LIFE,……IS TO HEAR THE HOLY PERFECT PRECIOUS AND WONDERFULL RIGHTEOUS WORD OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,……….AND TO CONFESS WITH OUR TONGUE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY TRUTH,……. THE ONLY WAY,……AND DEFINITLY THE ONLY TRUE LIFE THERE IS,……..PRAISE HIS PERFECT PRECIOUS HOLY AND WONDERFULL RIGHTEOUS NAME ,……AMEN
Helpful tip for building the relationships necessary to make disciples: Yelling at people on street corners will not make them listen to you, or even hear you.
The farther is the divine conscience of Jesus christ, Jesus Christ the infinite spirit,breath of life, the tree of life, bread of life, Jesus reconciled the conscience of man back to the (divine conscience)farther, the farther is in Jesus christ and Jesus Christ is in the farther, Jesus said, the farther and I are one, the one and only true living God. ❤
The significance of the VIRGIN birth was the fulfillment of the Genesis 3:15 prophecy. "SEED of woman" could only mean miraculous virgin birth bc women have eggs & men have seeds. And the Son of Man title was bc Jesus was distinguishing himself as a descendant of Adam's GENEology & not Cain's GENEology. They were separate & distinct.
The Son is the *image* of the Father (2 Cor.4:4, Col.1:15, Heb.1:3).......and the viewers of this video are looking at the *image* of R.C. Sproul. Would we say that R.C.'s image has two natures, a "pixel nature" and a "human nature?" No, we'd say that R.C.'s image is the human R.C. himself, manifested as pixels. Likewise...would we say that the Father's image has two natures, a "human nature" and a "divine nature?" No we'd say that the Father's image is the divine Father himself - "The everlasting Father" (Isa.9:6) - manifested as a human.
Jesus Christ the Son of God *_is_* God the Father manifested as a genuine human.
_"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh..."_ (1 Tim.3:16)
"The Person of Christ" Good Title kind Sir...For Jesus was indeed manifested in the flesh... 2,000 yrs ago...1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh (Jesus), justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. And...John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was within God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh (Jesus), and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Need I say more? Praise Jesus Holy Name. Who was NOT only the Son. But He was the Father and Holy Spirit also. which makes Him 3-1 (God Almighty). Praise Jesus; the ONLY true God there will ever be... John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? And...Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. (The Holy Spirit)... ...In any case kind Sir, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!
"Now, the Redeemer is like us in every respect, but one, He is sinless." show me the scripture which states that Jesus was like us in every way, except one. because it isn't in scripture. what is, is this: Hebrews 2:17 "Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren..." Hebrews 4:15 "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin." you must also be God as well, since Jesus was made in all things as you are, so if Jesus is divine, so must you be! which im sure you already believe, considering you think you're immortal...or rather your soul, or spirit, whatever you want to call it, is immortal. 1 Timothy 6:13-16 "I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power, Amen." to say that Jesus is not a human person is essentially saying that you are not a human person either
Christ was truly man and truly God in his spiritual identity as the Logos. But he did his miracles by the Holy Spirit, not by his own power. So to say he was fully God is correct in his identity, and also to see him doing the Father's works was to see the Father. He also had the HS given without measure. But to say he was "fully God" makes it sound like he did his miracles by his own divine power. This is not correct.
@@Mike65809 Christ never stopped being God. He laid aside His privileges as God. Philippians 2:1-11 for the whole context. Truly, He leaves us marveling. Every aspect of God is only slightly understood. 🙏❤️
@@alexkelley385 I said he was truly God in his spiritual identity. However, he did miracles, not by his own power, but the Holy Spirit. This is what I wrote and seems to agree with what you wrote about his privileges. He was not pretending to be a baby, he was a baby. He didn't pretend to grow in wisdom, he grew in wisdom. See the difference?
Scripture does not present our Lord with two natures. The Father did his miracles through Jesus. That was what Jesus said. In fact, he could not glorify himself with his own miraculous attributes. But he was deity always in his identity as the Logos made into a man. Amen? Chalcedon gave us a Jesus who did not know the time of his return in his human nature only! That is Nestorian.
I just can't follow/believe the whole of the apostles creed...when Jesus died, he went to hades, the realm of the dead, where both the saved and condemned go, (Luke 16: 19-31). He didn't go to hell/lake of fire/eternal or otherwise punishment. I believe the framework prayer Jesus taught his deciples should be called the deciples prayer, not the Lords as he wouldn't/had No reason to ask for forgiveness of sins/debts/trespasses since he knew no sin.
This is what happens when you interpret scripture literally. It becomes a convoluted mess, impossible to understand and full of contradictions. Jesus was a teacher who spoke in metaphor to avoid blowback from the Jewish and Roman authorities. His message was very clear...we ALL can be like him when we stop allowing religion to dictate our belief system and seek the kingdom of the father from within ourselves. Religion aims to put Christ on a pedestal that no one could ever equal, while Christ himself literally said, "Ye are gods", and, "You will achieve much greater things than I have." We have to stop listening to literal church interpretation of scripture and start paying attention to the actual message.
Scripture is confusing to you because the Holy Spirit has not given you understanding. You pit scripture against itself. Your deeds are dark. Jesus is Lord Adoni not you.
This message is from Dr. Sproul’s 6-part teaching series Basic Training. Watch the entire series: www.ligonier.org/learn/series/basic-training

This man was a gift to humanity!
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

yup. depending on version "became flesh"
not put on a flesh suit, but became, was made.

Trinity!
Nabeel Qureshi took R.C"s explanation of the Trinity and delivered it beautifully. Miss them both. Thank you LORD so much for your servants.
Aw, Nabeel! It broke my heart to see him in such suffering. It's mind blowing to think that they are now worshiping Jesus together!
Thank you and God bless you in Christ my brethren who alone is JESUS and we his Children. Selah
Is that really how you talk?

I pray and will continue to pray for your heart that truly yearns.
Gods Grace and Peace stay with you Brother
We miss you, Brother Sproul. We'll see you in Heaven.
Thank you and God bless!
so happy i find this.... i learned a lot
