Divinity of Christ

What is meant by the divinity of Jesus? Christ's divinity is taken for granted. Today, however, this belief is being challenged, attacked and denied on several fronts.

WHY A DIVINE JESUS BEST SERVES THE INTERESTS OF THEOCRATIC FASCISM In the earliest Christian writings (Paul's letters and the Synoptic Gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke) it's very clear that Jesus never saw himself as divine, and he most certainly never thought he was God, not in any way! Jesus talked ABOUT God in the third person, and TO God in the second person, but never did he talk, as God, in the first person. The same holds true of the very earliest documents we have about Jesus--the letters of Paul, written in the 50s or early 60s CE. It's true that Paul believed God EXALTED Jesus to His Right Hand, meaning, that once he ascended to Heaven, God promoted him, which had a lot of appeal to Jews, with their religious history in which, time and again, a patriarch like Joseph or a prophet like Daniel, is promoted by a Pharaoh or King to become Second in Command. By the time we get to the Synoptic Gospels (Mark, written around 70 CE and Matthew and Luke around 85 CE), Jesus is inching toward divinity, but not quite. It's only in the Gospel of John, written toward the end of the 1st Century where we see Jesus portrayed as divine, though still not quite God Himself. What then, can we say, with any sense of likelihood, that Jesus believed he was God, or divine? Well, if he did, he sure kept it to himself most of the time, and denied it completely, at least on one occasion (Mark 10:18 and Luke 18:19)! However, all the evidence we currently possess (which is scant) points to a man who grew up within Pharisaic Judaism, became a successful healer as well as a reformer of Judaism with a gift for speaking and engaging the religious authorities of his day with considerable adroitness! In keeping with what more than a few, objective, biblical scholars are convinced of, it's possible Jesus came to believe he was the Messiah king predicted by the Jewish prophets, but this would assume he let his popularity go to his head. However, Jesus initially believed God had called him to lead the Jews of Palestine to repentance in order to pave the way for the Messiah to come to set up the literal, independent Jewish government, known as the "Kingdom of God," which he would live to see happen. At the peak of his popularity, when he had 1000s of people thronging to see him perform miracles, and as word of his seeming divine powers spread, so many people became convinced he must be the Messiah, Jesus may have become swept up by all the adulation. There’s considerable attestation in the Synoptic Gospels pointing to a Jesus who didn’t mind taking advantage of the platform of popularity the Messianic hopes of the masses provided him to call the Jews to repentance with the aim of bringing about enough change that God would, upon seeing their general repentance, send a king to free them. But as time went on, Jesus saw that mission falling far short, and the hope for successful, political/national kingdom as a pipe dream! Jesus’ messaging about the future then changes as he, ultimately, becomes convinced God was calling him to martyrdom, and that his death would be the catalyst for a movement of people repenting of sins and turning to God on an individual basis and, thus, a "kingdom" of changed hearts and lives would emerge and spread throughout the world. Thing is, that plan was foiled when, shortly after his death, he was repeatedly seen alive again, so it didn't take his disciples very long to conclude his death and resurrection was God's plan all along to convince the Jews he was, indeed, the Expected Messiah who would, at any moment, come out of seclusion and seize the Throne of David. Then, of course, that didn't happen. But the beauty is that, his message--that no one is beyond the Grace of God and, therefore, may become liberated from sin and know the joy of leading a life of doing good--in spite of how it has been so very misunderstood by so many for so long, has survived. Tragically, though, there are still many today (especially in the leadership of the Neo Evangelical churches) who much prefer the view of Jesus that emerged many decades after his death, once the Jewish wing of the Jesus [is the] Messiah Movement fell apart and was replaced by the Gentile Jesus [is a] God Movement. Unlike the Pharisaic Jews of Jesus’ day who had hoped for a literal, theocratic nation to enlighten the world, and Jesus’ ultimate hope for a “nation” of individuals to enlighten the world, the Gentile Christians hoped only for admission, after death, to a better spirit-world, and for everyone else to be condemned to eternal retribution. It’s this last interpretation that best serves the interests of those today looking to overthrow democratic states and replace them with theocratic, fascist dictatorships, such as what American Neo Evangelicals are now actively advocating. While a Gentile version of a Warrior King to come and take over the world is certainly quite welcome among Neo Evangelicals, and they continue to promote the apocalyptic notion of an imminent “rapture” to Heaven that, eventually, results in a violent world take over, the idea that God is looking for a select few to literally conquer everyone else who are his enemies, whether on a future earth, or in a spirit world, if not both, helps exasperate the frustrations of those who already feel culturally isolated into an easily-manipulated political body, fueled by great anger which they constantly feed, in order to help them seize power.

Gusto kopo mag tanong Catholic po ako, madami po nagsasabi na pinalitan daw yung 10 commandments ng Catholic church. Totoo po ba yun ? Sana po mapansin ninyo po itong katanungan ko maraming salamat po

[@tomrosete5956]

Kapatid naakusahan na din ako ng ganyan . Yung Ten Commandments sa mga simbahan natin ang akusasyon nila. Ganito ang pag responde sa ganyang akusasyon. Interpretasyon na po ng ating Inang simbahan ang mga ito. Kung pagbabasehan natin kasi ang interpretasyon, magkaiba po ang interpretasyon natin kaysa sariling interpretasyon ng ating hiwalay na mga kapatid. Halimbawa ang ika-6 na utos sa atin ay wag kang mangangalunya , sa kanila naman ay wag kang papatay. Tandaan po natin na wala pong sariling bilang ang 10 utos sa Biblia na nagsasabing ito ang unang utos, ito ang ikalawa. Wala pong ganun na mababasa sa kahit anong Biblia. Ang bilang nito ay nakabase sa magiinterpreta nito. Sa susunod na mang akusa sila, hiramin mo ang kanilang Biblia at ipakita mo din ang ating magandang Balita Biblia at ipakita mo na walang dagdag bawas na nangyari sa Bersyon ng ating Biblia. Ang nakikita nila sa labas ng ating mga simbahan ay isa nang interpretasyon. Nawa ay nakatulong ito sayo kapatid. Sumaiyo ang Katotohanan. Ave Maria Gratia Plena\m/
