Luke 10: 19: I Give You Power To Tread On Serpents and Scorpions

 

Response to comment [from other]: "The spirit of antichrist? What does that mean from a scriptural definition?"

 

Understand the spirit of antichrist (1 Jn 4:2-6).

See:


The Jesus test, the gospel test, the fruit test

 

"The spirit of antichrist denies that Jesus came in the flesh.

It is my understanding that trinitarians regard [Jesus as] the Son as God. Since God and flesh are mutually exclusive the trinity concept denies that Jesus came in the flesh, rather he came as fully God.

As I see it, trinitarians must by definition be antichrists."

 

God, the second person of the trinity, became a man (Jn 1:1-3, 1:14, Lk 24:39). He came in the form of a servant (Jn 10:1-21). Christ is equal with God (Jn 10:22-42).

 

[Lk 24:39] "That's it, you nailed it. No one in the flesh is equal with God. This is exactly what John meant by denying Jesus was flesh. Beautiful example."

 

Jesus was raised bodily. What cult or 'ism do you belong to?

See:


Why is the truth of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ so important? Is it important that Jesus was resurrected in a physical body?

 

"And if he had been God he would never have died."

 

Jn 10:15

 

"God is immortal and immortals don't die..."

 

See:

 

2 Co 5:19 McGee

"So Jesus was either God or he was flesh. Take your pick."

Jesus was/is God in the flesh (Gen. 3:15; Deut. 18:15–18; 1 Chr. 5:2; Psa. 2:7 Acts 13:33.

"Jesus was/is God in the flesh"

You removed the scripture from my quote. Re: incarnation (Gen. 3:15; Deut. 18:15–18; 1 Chr. 5:2; Psa. 2:7 Acts 13:33.

"[T]hat is the spirit of antichrist."

You're projecting again. That is scripture (2 Pe 2:1).

See:


Inspired Scripture

"I think you've got it nailed."

"When “the Word became flesh” (John 1:14), He did not become two people (one divine and one human), but He became one Person with two distinct natures, a fully divine nature and a fully human nature. The Word was unchanged as He entered a union with sinless human nature in a physical body (Hebrews 10:5).

Here lies the specific answer to the question: as to Jesus’ divine nature, He is unchanging. As to His human nature, He is changeable. As God, Jesus is unchangeable, infinite, ever-supreme in every way. But as to His human nature, He is changeable, subject to weakness, able to suffer, able to die. He is simultaneously divine and human, infinitely strong and suffering weakness, immortal and mortal. He is the God-man.

The Son of God did not change His nature at the Incarnation. The divine nature did not “blend” with the human nature—that would have required change. Rather, the divine nature resides with the human nature in the Person of Christ. The Incarnation means that Jesus can lay claim to both His divine nature and His human nature..." Full text:
How can the Incarnation be reconciled with God’s immutability?
