Luke writes that
Jesus was born of the fruit of David's genitals (Act 2.30):
Not exactly
Bill "David being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath
to him,
that of the
fruit of his loins, according to the
flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne."
Right, so in
Matt we have a genealogy that shows Joseph is in David's lineage but he
is
hardly the
biological father of Jesus is he? Even though Jesus is born in his
lineage.
hence he was not some kind of new humanity, freshly
brewed with new material, unrelated to fallen humankind;
No, he is human
like David was human, born on our side of the
fall.
He did not come
to this earth through procreation Bill. He did not have a human father -
He may have been
born on this side of the fall but he was most definitely not born
fallen. One can not be fallen and holy ATST
And to the naysayers Jesus said, "Before Abraham was,
I AM"; hence Jesus pre-dated even Abraham, David' predecessor. But it
was not his humanity which pre-dated David; it was his divinity.
And notice: he did not say that his Father was the I AM, and that
he was copying him. No, Jesus said that he (and this before his
glorification) is I AM; that is, Yahweh, the LORD who
covenants with Abraham.
So?? Noone here disputes his
heritage.
Jesus is FULLY GOD and fully man, two realities
in one person, united -- but make him anything less than
God or anything more than man and you are courting a
demon, who is powerless to save you.
Either that or you are courting
religious spirits who are filling your head with the doctrines they have
been promoting for thousands of
years. He doesn't have to be fully anything. He is who the Word of
God
says He is - which is the Word made
flesh.
