Oophs! Possibly I should have said
"God the Word" - When IYO did He actually become Jesus?
And you are saying that you asked me this question earlier
-- hmmmmm. Well, Jesus means "Yah saves."
Joshua means the same - it is another way of
saying Jesus.
If your theology is such that
the fall was either predetermined or inevitable
from eternity past, then God the Word was always Jesus,
his identification as such coming by revelation to Joseph.
The angel spoke to Mary before Joseph had
any revelation and Mary was told "Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb,
and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the
Son of the Highest and the Lord God shall give unto
him the throne of his father David...."
(Luke 1:31)
IF the fall was not one of those, then "God" the Word took
on the "Savior" aspect when humanity fell.
How about when he was begotten in the womb
of Mary? Shall call, shall be, shall be, and shall give all sound like
future tense to me.
At this point in my sojourn I believe there was an
inevitability about the fall. Paul writes, "Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ... as He chose us
in Him before the foundation of the world"; that is to say
that humans were chosen in "Yah saves" before any were even
created; i.e., before any had done anything needy of salvation, yet the
name implies the eventual necessity. Bill
That's because God is transcendent,
omnipresent, and omnicient so that He knows all things before they
happen... However, ATST
this does not mean that he ordains or
decrees them, and especially not if they are evil, since he can not be
tempted by/with evil.
I don't ask either of these questions Bill but
this is beside the point....
Your question to me was "When did Jesus receive
the Holy Spirit?"
My question to you is "Do you believe the Word of
God was/is full of the Holy Spirit?"
I asked [Bill] a question ... he has as
yet failed to
acknowledge.
Judy, I have reviewed your posts and do not know what "question"
you want me to answer. You often ask rhetorical questions that go
unanswered. You also ask wife-beating questions that I cannot
answer without affirming a belief I do not hold. Please post your
question again, along with the context in which it was asked. I'll
consider answering it then.
Thanks,
Bill
