There was a recent discussion about JESUS where a few questions were raised. All of them were good and were answered according to what was written by our ancestors and we will share them with you. The first question was whether JESUS is GOD.
There are many misconceptions throughout the Christian religion about who Jesus actually was. The first misconception is that Jesus is God. This is an incorrect assumption and is believed among many because of religious teachings. We can verify through many scriptures that Jesus and God are two different beings. The first is found in the book of Daniel and it clearly shows that he is not God. Daniel, who lived before JESUS, saw JESUS after he was resurrected and wrote about what he saw. Daniel referred to God as the Ancient of Days and Jesus as the Son of Man..
IT WAS WRITTEN:
Daniel 7:13,14
Daniel 7:13,14
13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Jesus also made the distinction between himself and God (The Father) and referred to himself as the Son of Man.
IT WAS WRITTEN:
JESUS/John 8:28,29
28Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Our brother Paul wrote about Jesus being acknowledged as the Son of God in the book of Romans and also made the distinction between Father and Son in his writings.
IT WAS WRITTEN:
Paul/Romans 1:1-7
1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
3Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
5By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
These are a few of many writings by our ancestors that give us the understanding that Jesus and God are two different beings, but also that religions have taught contrary to our ancestor’s writings. The belief of God coming to earth as a man goes all the way back to Babylon and is part of the Pagan or false god teachings that our nation has always been taught not to follow. This was covered during the “Holiday Season” as one of the reasons why we shouldn’t celebrate the Babylonian/Pagan holiday known today as Christmas. So here’s a few scriptures that should give understanding to those who were taught that JESUS was God, and we hoped they helped. We will cover the other topics in the weeks to come.
"Love thy neighbor as thyself"
