WHO is Yeshua / Jesus and what is He like!!!
Posted : 21 Jun, 2014 11:17 AM
Hello everyone:
This is a question which the world asks the 'christians' and MOST are not able to answer.
Most are only able to reply with what the pastor has been telling them.
My question to those on this site is this:
Who do you ( the 'christian' ) BELIEVE Yeshua is;and what do you believe He is like ( His character,attitude and personality ).
Please do not copy and post the Scripturesas any person is abke to do that,answer this as you would answer those that would ask you WHO is Yeshua /Jesus.
Thank you for your reply;I was not expecting a laundry list,one or two would have been sufficient.
I would like to ask you a question;WHEN did Yeshua stop being the Messiah.
When did Yeshua Stop being a servant.
WHEN did Yesuha STOP being submissive to the will of the Father
When did Yeshua STOP being Focused and JUST.
WAS is PAST tense;IS that is present and future tense.
I believe you have said that Messiah is thus;
Jesus is the son of God.
Jesus came to the earth fully man fully God .
Jesus is my savior.
Jesus was the messiah.
Jesus is my best friend.
Jesus is the bridegroom.
Jesus' character is just like mine except for the fact that he never did/has sinned once.
Jesus is a gentleman. He is caring.
Jesus is loving and merciful.
Jesus is kind and compassionate.
Jesus is honest and truthful.
Jesus is patient and peaceable.
Jesus is righteous.
Jesus was a servant.
Jesus was submissive/obedient to the Father .
Jesus was focused and just.
I hope you understand that the WORDS we use can misrepresent who Yehsua is,and can say tol others something which He is not.
Blessings
PS:
PLEASE NEVER EVER compare the character of the Messiah Yeshua to being like yours,YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS and MY RIGHTEOUSNESS is but FILTHY RAGS.
(KJV) But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
(LITV) But we are all as the unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as a menstruation cloth. And we all fade as a leaf, and like the wind our iniquities take us away.
(YLT) And we are as unclean--all of us, And as a garment passing away, all our righteous acts; And we fade as a leaf--all of us. And our iniquities as wind do take us away.
Who do you ( the 'christian' ) BELIEVE Yeshua is;and what do you believe He is like ( His character,attitude and personality ).
That was your question!!!
His character,attitude and personality are all those that I listed.
Dont ask a question of the brethren and then criticize it.
Like Ive said of you in the past: Its your delivery that is flawed.
And furthermore: When you ask a question of someone you should FIRST come forth with your answer to the questions. You set people up to beat them over the head.
I am buried in Christ and I have a new nature because I am a new creature in Christ I am not a filthy rag. I once was but I am not now.
I am a NOW a saint because I walk with Jesus and have the spirit dwelling in me..
The word �saint� comes from the Greek word hagios, which means �consecrated to God, holy, sacred, pious." It is almost always used in the plural, �saints.�
Therefore, scripturally speaking, the �saints� are the body of Christ, Christians, the church. All Christians are considered saints. All Christian are saints�and at the same time are called to be saints. First Corinthians 1:2 states it clearly: �To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy�
The words �sanctified� and �holy� come from the same Greek root as the word that is commonly translated �saints.� Christians are saints by virtue of their connection with Jesus Christ. Christians are called to be saints, to increasingly allow their daily life to more closely match their position in Christ. This is the biblical description and calling of the saints.
As I said in my first response: Jesus is like me(his character except for sin) because we are created in the image of God. That means our spiritual being with all the facets of our personality.
We can happy and sad. So is God who is also Jesus.
We can be angry and so can Jesus. etc
Made in Gods Image
Genesis 1:26
26 Then God said, �Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.�
I am an heir to the thrown. I am the light of the world. I am the salt of the earth.
Gen. 1:26,27 - "God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness... And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him"
Gen. 9:6 - "in the image of God He made man"
Rom. 8:29 - "He predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son"
I Cor. 11:7 - "man...is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man"

B. Greek word eikon - "image" - from which we get English word "icon"
III. Theological interpretations of the "image of God"

24. Inherent divinity
B. The inadequacy of these explanations
1. They explain the humanness or creatureliness of man
2. They seek resemblances of man to God
3. They are humanistic explanations of the likeness of man to God
IV. Defining and illustrating the "image of God"
A. The "image of God" is not
1. resemblances of man to God - a "splitten image"
2. representations of God in man - a constructed image
3. reflections of God in man - a mirror image
B. The "image of God" is
1. ontological - requiring the "Being" of the Person of God

5. derived from God in Christ; not inherent to man
6. dynamic expression; not static construction
V. Historical consideration of the "image of God" in man
A. Man was created with the "image of God" - Gen. 1:26,27
B. When man fell into sin - Gen. 3
1. The "image of God" was no longer viable for man
Eph. 2:12 - "without God"
Eph. 2:12 - "separate from Christ"
2. The "image" was not just marred, distorted, or subdued
3. Must explain these verses:
Gen. 9:6 - "in the image of God He made man"
James 3:9 - "men, who have been made in the likeness of God"
C. By the redemptive and regenerative work of Jesus Christ the "image" can be restored to man
1. Christ, the "image of God" dwells in our spirit
2. The presence of God in Christ in us allows for the reactivation of His "image"
Col. 3:10 - "you have put on the new man who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him" cf. Eph. 4:24
D. The visible expression of God's character can be manifested in Christian behavior by the indwelling of Christ.
Rom. 8:29 - "predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son"
II Cor. 3:18 - "transformed into the same image from glory to glory"
(KJV) But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
That scripture is focusing on SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS. WORKS!!
PLEASE NEVER EVER compare the character of the Messiah Yeshua to being like yours,YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS and MY RIGHTEOUSNESS is but FILTHY RAGS.
I explained to you what I meant. I was referring to the image of God and who I am in HIM (I AM). The mind of Christ and if youll notice I said except for the SIN PART. That in itself talks about our nature and not GOD!! That is a HUGE difference.
But you had to throw in your tidbit with caps because IT IS YOU THAT DOESNT LIKE PEOPLE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU!!!
I dont mind being corrected on something but you asked and I answered. That is what I tell people!!!!!!!
I said NOTHING that disagrees with scripture. I know who my savior is and what his character is like. You like to one up people and pick them to shreds.
Its funny how your tag name on here isnt how you act. I rarely see you extend grace.
Grace is part of santification. Maybe you should work on that. Just because noone else will call you on how you talk to them doesnt mean they arent thinking it. God didnt give everyone a bold spirit.Go study that in your greek and hebrew.
