The Bible unfolds like literature, and we follow the instructions like marching orders. The last orders supersede the previous ones. So the New Covenant (Testament) gives the design of who we are, what we do, and how we meet. What do you see in it, that can help us live better?
Israel4ever
Let's start with Heb 4v15 "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."
He had human nature; he shared every one of our sinful tendencies (Heb. 4:15), yet he overcame them by his commitment to God's ways and seeking His help to overcome sin. This God willingly gave, to the extent that "God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself" through His very own Son (2 Cor. 5:19). God was working thru His son. The fact that Christ had to plead with God to save him from death rules out any possibility of him being God in person. After Christ's resurrection, death had "no more dominion over him" (Rom. 6:9), implying that beforehand....... it did.
He had to be Son of man in order to inherit the consequences of Adam's transgressions, a weak and mortal nature "prone to sin", so that he might condemn sin. He had to be tempted in all points like us and yet be sinless in order to be the Saviour. Sin could only be condemned by one possessing the same flesh with its tendency to sin. He put to death sin in the flesh on the cross. The perfect sacrifice.
"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil" What has the power of death? It is sin. For the wages of sin is death. Jesus put to death a sin nature and is now glorified.
Heb 5v8 "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him," God suffers????? No, but a man does.
That's why he is a perfect representive for us. He knows what we go thru in our lives. He went thru temptations just like us. If he was God, what would the point of that be?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
...Not even close...The earth is a literal satanic bloodbath where billions have been slain...And since this is a matter of fact reality....How do you possibly conclude that sitting in it eat and enjoying yourself is even close to the work of God???...
...I wonder if you all can actually read at all???...
...You are IN the Earth Beast and that money is occult laced money...And so how do you conclude that the information given about the Earth Beast somehow does not pertain to you???...
...Better yet...If almost every single true person of God got killed and you are sitting amongst the descendants of these conquerors and enjoying yourself, while just ignoring the fact that all the true brethren of God have been gone after non stop for doing no wrong; that this somehow equates to you siding with these???...
...You honestly are blinded...I am sorry...
...God already has his off in safety and the workers here are literally about to fully loosen the abyss which was locked away and this place will become a full all out demonic bloodbath quite soon actually...God's Temple is already up and running but you do not even know where it is at!!!...
...I will tell you where but not exactly because you do not know because it was not revealed to you...God's people are in safety where the satanic Earth Beast has been seeding the clouds and trying to swallow them by a water spew...I do not have a clue why you decided to plop down in the Earth Beast and I am no judge of it...I tried to get to safety there but the workers of this pit and their satanic power took my dang feet out from me and sorcery whacked me quite potently...Next move to where I belong and you all send more my way; the truth off of my tongue will send all of those you send to block me off packing...
