Jesus is both God and man
He is God, who came to earth to live with us, as one of us, in the form of His only begotten Son, (in a terrestrial body) as a flesh and blood man, for a short while. (approximately 33 years)
Only
someone who is both God and man could do what Christ did, and could
affect what He did. When He shed His precious sin-free blood on
that cross at Calvary to cover mankind's sins. If He was not man. He could not have died on the cross, for the sins of humanity.
If He was not God, it wouldn't have mattered that He did; But, He did sacrifice His (human, terrestrial) life, shedding His sin free blood and HE IS BOTH GOD and man!
AND ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD, DEFEATING DEATH (Satan, whose name is death).
Jesus told us that there will be no excuses when He returns.
Why?
Because he has told you/us everything that will happen in His Word, (our Bible).
It is written there and given in many different witnesses. If you have refused to study "His Word", you have chosen to reject Him. It simply doesn't matter what your preacher says; But, what matters is what Christ said, as put down in "His Word" (not only the words He spoke as a human); But as He spoke, through the many prophets and recorded in your WHOLE Bible.
Does the preacher in the church you attend teach the WHOLE Bible book by book, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse? Rightly dividing the "Word of Truth"? If not, WHY do you continue to attend and support that church? (You are not learning what Christ taught!)
Have you read His Word (your Bible) with understanding?
Pray that He gives you eyes to see and ears to hear and correctly divide the word of truth.
II Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
Jesus is indeed God the Son, (The second Individual Personality of the Triune God) who came from Heaven, sent by God the Father, (The first Individual Personality of the Triune God) to identify with our suffering and sacrifice His human life, shedding His perfect SIN FREE BLOOD as a covering for the sins of mankind (yours and mine, if only we will believe in Him, and invite Him into our heart).
He preached that His Kingdom is not a human (flesh and blood) kingdom, but the Kingdom of God Himself.
After His death on the cross and His resurrection He returned to heaven (to live in His celestial body) sending His Holy Spirit (The third Individual Personality of the Triune God) to guide and comfort we Christians who believe on Him, have repented of our sins, and have invited Him into our heart.
Jesus preached not religion but a personal relationship that God desires to have with His originally created children. But please remember, Jesus told us that Satan will come
to earth (at the sixth trump) five months prior to His own return, claiming he (Satan) is God so don't be fooled into worshiping Satan.
If you are still in your flesh and blood body; That super-natural being, claiming to be God, isn't Christ Jesus!!! Paul told us that at Christ's actual return (at the seventh
trump), WE Will All Be CHANGED INTO OUR SPIRITUAL (celestial) BODIES, IN AN INSTANT!, IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.
Wait for the real Christ Jesus to return!!! DO not have Christ return and find you have already been bowing down and worshiping Satan as your God!!! It doesn't matter how much good he does to convince you he is God; Remember Satan is the tree of the knowledge of BOTH GOOD and EVIL.
Those of us who endure until the end will be saved!!!
Mark13:13....; but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Read all of Mark chapter 13. WAIT FOR THE REAL CHRIST'S RETURN!
Don't let Christ return, to find YOU HAVE ALREADY SPIRITUALLY HOPPED IN BED WITH AND ARE WORSHIPING SATAN!!!
True Christians,
those who have seriously repented of their sins,
and inviting Christ Jesus into their heart.
Will have learned to tell the difference between "What is Holy" (Jesus) and "What is Profane" (Satan).
Therefore; will endure until the end!
The Holy Spirit will have seen to it!
