IMPORTANT POINTS LEARNT FROM THE MEETING:
PROOF THAT SHOWS THAT CHRIST IS NOT A MAN....
The son came from the father, he is not a man and no one knows him except the father. The real state of Christ is that He is the son of the living God. God revealed this to Peter and the Apostles.
Before the world was created, God has revealed to him that He is his son(Psalms 2:7). God had loved the son before the foundation of the world, there's already a place for him(a dwelling place).
Ephesians 1:4 There are people chosen by God by some characteristics: "The Humble, poor, oppressed, lowly beings". And that is the pattern of God's choice.
I clearly understand through this teaching that Christ is not an imagination. Some people said "Christ has no state or being, that he was a plan which doesn't really exist". This is proved wrong by the bible
It is clear in John 17:5 that before the world exist, Christ has been in existence.
John 1:e When God create all things, the Son was instrumental. Christ served as a medium, channel or instrument of God's creation. Now, how can we say God created all things through someone who does not exist?. Christ was already there before the world was created.
In the original manuscript of the bible, Christ was in existence before the world was created and this was understood by the Apostles, Colossians 1:7. All living things, man, animals the birds they all live because Christ exist. He didn't exist only in time of Mary(Proverbs 30:4).
The people saying "Christ has no state" did not believed from Genesis to Revelation, they refused to accept the truth that surely Christ is not a man, He is begotten of the Father.
In Genesis 1:26 God is speaking to people more than one here, He said "Let us make man in our image". Clearly God is talking to more than one person here and he is not talking to the Angels or Cherubs. God is discussing with the Son and the Spirit of God. The spirit is already in existence too(Genesis 1:2).
In Greek, Moses used the word 'Eloheem' which means 'gods'. In English it means God, but not just one. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holyghost. God was talking to the Son and the Holyspirit because they are also "CO-CREATORs".
Holyspirit created the human body of Jesus which was conceived by Mary(Matthew 1:20)
I understand that Christ can also create, the proof is in Ephesians 2:14-15.
Christ was in existence before Abraham(John 8:57-58). Christ is not made from the dust of the earth, he came from God, begotten by God. He start from the bosom of God. When he cane into the world, there was a body prepared by God(John 1:1-3,14).
Christ was manifested in flesh, he humbled himself to die for us as he put on the nature of man. This is a great mystery which is in the divinity of the Son. There was no other God that was manifested in the flesh other than Jesus in the book of 1 Timothy 3:16.
The old manuscripts of the bible are reliable even if they were translated, the truth still remain the same that "Christ exist truly, he is not a man, he has been with the father before the foundation of the world.
MY OLD BELIEFS are:
Before this meeting, I do not understand that God was talking to The Son and The Holyspirit, that they should create man after their likeness, but now I know.
Then I do not have any understanding about the pattern of God's choice. But now I know that God choose the humble, oppressed, poor and lowly.
HOW THE STUDY AFFECT MY DAILY LIVING:
I am fully aware that Christ is a son of God, begotten by the Father, so I should not join people to say that "Christ has no state". I should not doubt the authenticity and proof established in the bible.
Thanks be to God.
