THE GIVER and HIS GIFT -- The Holy Spirit is God(Jehovah) our
Creator(Elohim). The God and the Father of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is
the offspring of God, only begotten, physically, by Divine conception
of God, the Giver; Holy Spirit! God's gift is holy spirit, which is
power from on high. We are baptized by this gift from God, the Giver.
Christ makes known God - what do you think "the way" means anyway! He is
the faithful son of his literal Father, God; simple now hey?
The word became, not always was, flesh. In the person of Jesus Christ, when he was born:
Matthew 1:18
Now the birth [gennēsis] of Jesus Christ was on this wise:
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came
together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
The word birth is the Greek word gennēsis, from which
we get our English word genesis. Genesis means beginning.
There can be no doubt as to the meaning of the word genesis. Its
meaning is not open to debate. Jesus Christ had a beginning and it was
right here in Matthew when he was born. Jesus Christ was not around
before this point in time. His birth was his beginning, his genesis.
God is His WORD(LOGOS)!
John 1:14 And the Logos was made flesh, . . .
God's plan for restoring order was made or became flesh in the person
of His son, Jesus Christ. God did not become flesh; His plan did.
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie . . .
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time . . .
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
How can God be a mediator between Himself and another party? Further,
years after Jesus Christ's ascension and his installation at his
Father's right hand - his Father still calls him a man; he was not God
and did not become God. Jesus Christ is the first fruit of the dead with
a new spiritual body, the same that the saved are promised.
Jesus
Christ was the offspring of Mary and God. Thus he was born with no
sinful nature in him (as the life of the flesh which was corrupted by
sin is passed from father to son by the seed of the father), yet he was
totally a man. He had to grow and mature and learn to walk with God
just as any other man. He had to learn of his mission to redeem man and
he had to fulfill all the genetic requirements of the promised seed of
the woman. He had to be a descendent of Adam, Abraham, and David. He
was and is God's plan for the redemption of man. He is the only
begotten son of God.
