God the Father Was In Christ/Manifest In Flesh: Establishing the Deity of Jesus [2 Corinthians

So far in this video series we have learned that there is only one singular eternal Spirit of God and He is the Father. God consists of only one conscious rational being (Person). So God the Father is the singular Person of God and His name is Yahweh. There is no God or Saviour beside Him. We can then turn to the New Testament to learn more about the man Jesus Christ. Who exactly is Jesus Christ? Trinitarians believe that Jesus Christ is one of three eternal Persons manifest in the flesh. They look at Jesus Christ as the eternal Son incarnate. Unitarians believe that there is only one God (the Father) but they deny the deity of Jesus Christ. Unitarians don't believe that Jesus Christ is God's Person incarnate. But what does God's Word say? This video will be the beginning of a deeper look into the Word of God on this subject.
By turning to 1 Timothy 3:16, we can learn that God was manifest in the flesh. 1 Corinthians 8:6 confirms to us that there is only one God, the Father. So when it says "God was manifest in the flesh," this is referring to God the Father. Jesus Christ is the one singular Person of God the Father manifest in the flesh. Jesus is not one of three Persons (an eternal Son) manifest in the flesh. The passage in 1 Timothy also says that God the Father was justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into glory. How did all of this happen? Through Jesus Christ who is God the Father's very Person incarnate. We can receive confirmation that it was the Father who was manifest in the flesh by turning to 1 John 3:1-5. The subject form verse 1 is the Father and nowhere does the subject change leading up to verse 5 which then says and He (the Father) was manifested to take away our sins and in Him is no sin. God the Father was manifest in the flesh to take away our sins! We can't forget Scriptures (Hosea 13:4; Isaiah 43:11, 45:21) presented in previous videos regarding the one singular Person of God, who's name is Yahweh, being the only Saviour and how there was no Saviour beside Him.
By turning to 2 Corinthians 5:19 we then read, "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." Unitarians argue that Jesus was not God but that the Spirit of God only dwelt in Him. Trinitarians argue that it was one of three Persons (God the Son) who was in Christ and deny that God the Father's Person was in Christ. But when we understand that there is only one conscious rational being (one Person) who makes up God and it is revealed in God's Word to be the Father who's name is Yahweh, we can then receive revelation that God the Father was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself. This agrees with 1 Timothy 3:16 regarding God being manifest in the flesh. But I want to draw your attention to the context of 2 Corinthians 5. If we begin reading from verse 1, we can see that the apostle Paul is establishing the context of his statement "God was in Christ." By comparing the first 10 verses with verse 19, we can learn that verse 19 is most definitely establishing the deity of Christ. It's declaring that Jesus Christ is God the Father's very Person incarnate. Just like we are spirit beings who dwell in physical bodies that are likened unto houses, buildings, or tabernacles and we will be judged for what we do in our body; thus revealing that our body isn't who we are. Our spirit is who we are. With that understanding, the apostle Paul then declares, that God was in Christ! This is clearly saying that just like our very person (being/spirit) makes this body who we are, God the Father's Person makes Jesus Christ who He is. Praise God! This is why when we see Jesus we will be seeing the Father since Jesus Christ is God the Father's very Person incarnate. The rest of this series will continue discussion on this amazing subject.

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.

[@bigredog100]

I love it! This is a good proof text against those who like to say we are "triune" in nature because we are "soul, spirit, and body" even though I try to explain to people spirit and soul are used interchangeably throughout scripture.

[@ShatteringFalseFoundations]

Hey brother! Irregardless of how someone views spirit and soul (whether referring to the same thing or not), understanding that man is composed of spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23) and knowing that the Word of God divides between soul and spirit as in Hebrews 4:12, we still shouldn't use this to then say that God is a trinity of multiple Persons. The reason being is because our spirit, soul, and body is all one person that makes us human, not three persons that make us who we are. Our body is not who we are. It's not an entity on its own. The body without the spirit is dead and returns to the dust. The body is only a house for our spirit/soul. Our spirit/soul is who we are and to turn the fact that man is composed of spirit, soul, and body into a doctrine that teaches God is three Persons because we are made in his image is very ignorant of the truth from the Scriptures to say the least. Great to hear from you and thanks as always for responding and for your prayers and support over the years! I still haven't forgotten about our discussion on this subject together when the time is right. I want to continue progressing with the series a while yet and then we can plan a video call. Hope you and yours are well. Peace and love.

[@bigredog100]

@ShatteringFalseFoundations Ah yes, great points, even if someone were to say the soul and spirit are different, it would be similar to say my arms and my legs are different, but not separate. And yea I certainly still down to continue our convo's, I myself have been super busy with moving

Great video. No one believes this true doctrine and call it heresy. It is sad to see.

[@BeatriceLawson-ew8rf]

Good morning. Love your videos. I was thinking if Jesus existed in the beginning with the Father, wouldn't that diminish the meaning and significance of His birth and resurrection if He already existed? Also after His resurrection He ascends into Himself? That doesn't make sense to me. My church teaches the trinity and I have yet to understand this and no one can explain it so I can understand the term. I want to share with you that I have been praying to know what is the truth, not man's interpretation and that same day I came across your site which I have never seen in all the years of my research. I don't think it is a coincidence.

[@ShatteringFalseFoundations]

Praise the Lord! I don't believe that is coincidence either. Seek and we shall find! I grew up believing a certain way because that's what I was taught. Then I started seeing things in the Scriptures that God was opening up to me that didn't line up with the popular opinion I had learned. Buy the truth and sell it not! If Jesus existed as a different Person (the Son) next to the Father in the beginning then you are correct in that it diminishes the meaning and significance of the incarnation and the term "Son." There is no such thing as an eternal mother and so there is no such thing as an eternal Son unless we start changing the meanings and definitions of words. The term "Son" in reference to God is an incarnational term that involved a woman (humanity) which can be clearly seen in the following Scripture. Luke 1:35 KJVS And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Lord willing, this video series will leave no stone unturned with regards to understanding the singularity of God's very Person (essence/Being) as revealed in the Scriptures in light of the distinctions between Father and Son, helping one to understand the true identity of Jesus Christ as being the one singular God incarnate as our Saviour (not just one of three persons incarnate). It's important to understand that there is a distinction between Father and Son, it's just not a distinction between different eternal Persons. Trinitarianism teaches that there are three eternal Persons within the one essence of God, while the Word of God declares that there is only one singular Person of God whose name is Yahweh (Be sure to watch this series from the beginning if you already haven't to learn foundational truths about God so we can better understand the incarnation and the identity of Jesus Christ). Through the incarnation, Yahweh, the one singular Person of God became a man, and acquired a genuine human nature with a human consciousness. The distinction between Father and Son arose through the incarnation in the fulness of time, not from eternity. But we must understand that when God became a man through the incarnation, He did not cease being the invisible omnipresent Spirit transcendent to His incarnation in the flesh. He did not stop inhabiting the heavens as the eternal, invisible, omnipresent Spirit after He became a man. With regards to Jesus ascending to God after His resurrection, we must recognize that since the incarnation, God continues to exist in two ways simultaneously (as a genuine man in the incarnation, and as the invisible omnipresent Spirit apart from the incarnation), and will continue to exist this way for eternity. The Son of God ascended into heaven. God incarnate ascended to God transcendent. Not two different persons, but the one singular God existing in two different manners at the same time because of the incarnation. But this does not mean that we will see the Father and Jesus in heaven. The Bible is clear that no man hath seen God because He is an invisible Spirit (we cannot see God in His essence). Jesus, however, is the image of the invisible God (II Corinthians 4:4; Colossians 1:15; Hebrews 1:3). He is God's essence (Person) made visible to man (God incarnate). That is why Jesus could say, "he that has seen Me has seen the Father" (John 14:9). The only way we can see God is through the face of Jesus Christ. The express image of the Father's Person (Hebrews 1:3). He is the one who is on the throne (Revelation 22:3). When God became a man, He did not cease being God transcendent to His incarnation in the flesh. God now exists both in the incarnation as a genuine human being, and yet continues to exist beyond the incarnation as the omnipresent Spirit. According to Scripture, this distinction is maintained by the Father/Son distinction. As God exists apart from and beyond the incarnation He is referred to as "Father." As God exists in the incarnation He is referred to as "Son" or "Jesus Christ." This does not make two persons in the Godhead, but makes a distinction between the one singular (as opposed to tri-personal as in Trinitarian thought) God's existence apart from the incarnation and in the incarnation with a genuine human existence. The next video I'm working on and will hopefully be posting soon will cover this in greater detail. My last few videos of this series regarding John 1:1 and the understanding of the Word will also be of help. I hope this was helpful. God bless you in your continued studies!

[@gerhardschneider9910]

Trinitarians and unitarians both deny that Jesus IS the father.

[@ShatteringFalseFoundations]

That's correct. They deny that Jesus Christ is the Father's Person incarnate. I recognize there is a distinction between Father and Son, it's just not a distinction between 2 different Persons that make up God. Jesus Christ is God's (whose name is Yahweh) very Person incarnate as our Saviour. The one singular God exists as both Father and Son at the same time without being 2 different Persons. Yahweh is omnipresent Spirit (Father) and Son (a genuine human being) at the same time. How could God remain one single Spirit and yet become a man at the same time without making 2 different Persons? This is the true mystery of the incarnation. What an awesome God we serve! This video series that this video is a part of goes into greater detail on this important subject. kzbin.info/aero/PLo_7oh9llbNbh0-mW2I3WrQcDBqQYDRVs

[@crisiedatria9309]

Hi bro. Eric, what is the difference between the Spirit descending and remaining on Jesus Christ after He got baptized in water (John 2:33) versus God is in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:18-19)? When Christ was a child, does it mean that He was not yet filled with the Holy Spirit but God is in Christ already? That’s one of the pending question in my mind.

[@ShatteringFalseFoundations]

Hey Crisieda! Great to hear form you again. Hope you are doing well. These are great questions. The difference between 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 and John 1:32 is that the Spirit descending on Jesus Christ after He got baptized in water was only a sign for John the Baptist to know that Jesus was indeed the Son of God who baptizes with the Holy Ghost. We can understand this by reading verse 29 all the way through to verse 34. John 1:29-34 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. The Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and abiding upon Jesus Christ was a sign and manifestation to John the Baptist alone for the purpose of baring record that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. John the Baptist very clearly said that God who sent him to baptize with water had also told him that whoever He sees the Spirit descending upon and remaining upon is He which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. This is how John the Baptist could bare record that Jesus Christ was indeed the Son of God. It was a sign for John the Baptist alone and had nothing to do with Jesus actually receiving the Spirit at that moment as some falsely teach. Jesus was anointed to begin his ministry at his baptism, but that's not when God began dwelling in Christ. The deity of Christ is established according to Scripture at Jesus' birth. The Holy Spirit is God Himself. God was in Christ from the time conception took place in the womb of Mary. Jesus Christ was God incarnate/manifest in the flesh the moment He was born. The fulness of deity dwelt bodily in the baby Jesus from his birth. This is why Isaiah 9:6 prophesied about baby Jesus saying, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." That child, named Jesus, would be called the mighty God! Matthew 1:23 confirms this when it says, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Jesus was "God with us" from the moment He was born. Jesus didn't become deity at His baptism but was God (deity) incarnate from the moment He was born. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 is confirming this truth by saying that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. Jesus needed to be God incarnate from the moment of birth all the way through until adulthood in order for God to reconcile the world unto Himself. He needed to live a sinless life to atone for the sins of mankind. As this video establishes, 2 Corinthians 5:19 in context of chapter 5 as a whole is saying that God was in Christ making him God the way our spirit tabernacling in our body makes us who we are. It's a powerful proof text establishing the deity of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the mighty God and the everlasting Father because of who He is, the great God and Saviour (whose name is Yahweh) incarnate. This is why whoever sees Jesus as to His deity in this way, has seen the Father since Jesus Christ is God the Father's very Person incarnate. John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Hope this was helpful in answering your question. Let me know if I can be of any more help or if you need any clarification and be sure to keep a lookout for more future videos of this series when I'm able to post them. God bless!

[@crisiedatria9309]

Thank you bro. Eric for explaining. That’s also came in my thought that this is for John to see the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit as God said to him. In Luke it stated (after Jesus was baptized in water and the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him) that ‘Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit’ (Luke 4:1). This is what I heard/saw previously. This is why it came up to others that Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit after his baptism in water.

[@ShatteringFalseFoundations]

@@crisiedatria9309 The Spirit of Christ is God so one needs to understand what took place in the incarnation when God was manifest in the flesh. God took on the form of a servant when the Word (Logos) became flesh. Jesus was God incarnate from the moment He was born. God was in Christ at His birth. When referring to being filled with the Holy Spirit, this is referring to the anointing that was given to Jesus to begin His ministry. Up until that point, Jesus had not yet healed anyone, nor had he cast out any devils from people. Jesus was fully man while His very Person was God Himself. One needs to understand the limitations that Jesus had being a man even though He was God incarnate. His human nature placed limitations upon His divine nature. I will be going deeper into this subject in future videos of this series, but it's important to know that Jesus was limited in understanding, could feel pain, could hunger, thirst, and needed to pray. This is revealing His full humanity. So as a man, He also needed to hear from God transcendent and be filled with the Spirit for ministry. But one should not jump to conclusions and assume that this meant He didn't have the Spirit from His birth. Jesus' very Person is God Himself. The Spirit of Christ is God's Spirit experiencing the limitation of human nature. If God's Spirit never dwelt in Jesus from His birth, then Jesus could not have existed since His very Person is God Himself. I don't know if my explanation is going to be clear enough to understand and be helpful, but consider the apostle Peter who we know was filled with the Holy Ghost in Acts 2:4 on the day of Pentecost. But we also read a similar statement to Jesus being filled with the Holy Spirit with regards to Peter in Acts 4:8 which reads, "Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel." Peter had been filled with the Holy Spirit days prior but it mentioned that Peter, being filled with the Holy Ghost said unto them. This is not letting us know that Peter was just filled at that moment because we know He was filled with the Spirit on the day of Pentecost. So we can conclude that it's terminology for walking in the power and authority of the Spirit without the flesh or carnal thinking hindering him. It's letting us know that he was walking after the Spirit and not after the flesh. Do you understand what I mean? We can also read another example of this in Acts 13:49-52 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region. But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. The disciples weren't literally filled with the Holy Spirit for the first time at that moment, but what it is saying is that they were full of joy and the Holy Ghost (meaning they were walking in the authority and power of the Spirit without quenching the Spirit by unbelief). In Ephesians 5:17-18, the apostle Paul is writing to born again believers in the church at Ephesus. He says, "Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;" They had already been filled with the Spirit when they were born again but He is now encouraging them to be filled with the Spirit (in other words to walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh, don't quench the Spirit). Those are a few examples showing that it doesn't mean that the Spirit wasn't in Christ from His birth just because it said "Jesus being filled with the Spirit." It's just confirming that Jesus was surrendered to the Spirit and not to the flesh. Hope this helps. Let me know if I need to clarify anything.

You ask a great question; especially because God's Spirit Is The Holy Spirit & cannot be separated from God. 🙏✝️🙏

[@alonzoturner9332]

In regards to God the Father seen by angels through his incarnation as the Son of God Jesus Christ, what's your take on Matthew 18:10 and how it fits in? "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."

[@ShatteringFalseFoundations]

That's a great question! So much of our understanding depends on understanding what took place through he incarnation and acknowledging distinctions between Father and Son according to Scripture. Seeing God the Father's "face" means to have access to his presence and to experience his favor as in Psalm 17:15 & Job 33:26. God the Father is an invisible Spirit and so He doesn't have a physical face to see. No man hath seen God at any time because God is an invisible Spirit. However, when God was manifest in the flesh, angels and man could finally see God through the face of Jesus Christ. They weren't seeing the invisible Spirit of God. More verses that help us understand the face of God. Psalm 67:1 KJVS God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. Psalm 105:4 KJVS Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. Isaiah 59:2 KJVS But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Micah 3:4 KJVS Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings. The term "Father" in reference to God refers to God's eternal existence apart from the incarnation as the singular, omnipresent, invisible Spirit. The Word of God states that no man can see, nor has seen God (John 1:18; John 6:46; I John 4:12). Not being able to see God is referring to God's very essence. God is a Spirit, and as a Spirit He is invisible. Jesus, however, is the visible image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15), the express image of the Father's very person; essence or substance (Hebrews 1:3). That is why Jesus could declare to Philip, "He who has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9; 12:45). Jesus is the face of God revealed. To see Jesus is not to see God's essence, but it is to see His essence as He has manifested Himself in human form with human nature. Jesus is the only God we shall ever see throughout eternity, for His human existence is the only image of God’s person available to us. We will not see God and Jesus as two distinct eternal persons, but we will see God as He has manifested Himself to us in Jesus Christ. Hope this helps answer your question and settle it in your heart and mind.

@@ShatteringFalseFoundations Thank you that does help and I am following what you are saying. What are your thoughts on the children having their own angels that behold the Fathers face in heaven then? Could this be possibly referring to their own spirits being in the presence of God then? Also is there a connection between children beholding the Fathers face and them still being innocent and pure before God, before the corruption of Sin takes them captive by the knowledge of the law? (Matt 19:14, Romans 7:9)

To be honest, I haven't really given it much thought nor studied that aspect of the Scripture. I know many people think it's referring to guardian angels that watch over children. You might be onto something with regards to the innocence of children before God but the angels I think are referring to literal angels in heaven.

The Holy Spirit being different from the Father is the most blatant lie the devil has pulled. In Trinitarianism doctrine, God the Father fills the believer with more of the 3rd person (Holy Spirit) of the trinity when they ask for the 3rd person (Holy Spirit) ~ This doesn't even make sense. It makes much more sense to say that when the Believer askes for more of Gods Spirit, the Spirit of the Father, the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, HIS SPIRIT, he gives it to him. There isnt 2 Spirits. There's one. People read this premade doctrines into the text.

Not trying to be a troll just genuinely curious how you interpret this, in James it says that God can’t be tempted with sin, but in Hebrews it tells us that Jesus was tempted in all points as we are.

[@ShatteringFalseFoundations]

God doesn’t have blood either yet He purchased the church with his own blood. Acts 20:28 KJVS [28] Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. There’s numerous examples like this all throughout Scripture. Unitarians make the mistake of denying the deity of Christ while Trinitarians turn God into multiple Persons. Both groups are in error. The one singular Person of God now exits in two ways since the incarnation: as the eternal omnipresent Spirit transcendent to His incarnation and as a man through the incarnation. Human nature is the distinction between Father and Son, not personhood. So it is true that God doesn’t have blood but what God did when He incarnated in the flesh was become a man. As a man God was able to purchase the church with His own blood while God transcendent to the incarnation doesn’t have blood. Same with God being tempted with sin which is not possible for God outside of the incarnation but as a man He could be tempted. Human nature was the limitation that allowed God to experience things that would have otherwise been impossible. This is how God was touched with the feeling of our infirmities. The rest of this series will continue to go deeper into this subject.

He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool*? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? Why can we not use this same logic when think of Jesus? If God called him His Son, how is he then his own Father also? And why would the LORD say unto the Lord to sit on his own right hand? There are two Lords, one speaking to another. John 20:17 “Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.” Jesus has not ascended unto His own self yet?

[@ShatteringFalseFoundations]

I’m well aware of Unitarian thought/logic and proof text Scriptures. The problem with using Unitarian “logic” to understand what God did in Christ is that people usually try to understand what God did by becoming a man by looking to their own capabilities and definitions of terms and then coming to conclusions that Jesus is not God. By doing this one also must ignore a plethora of Scriptures that establish that Jesus Christ is God. How else could God purchase the church with His own blood? Unitarians can’t accept that because of their preconceived views on this subject. We must look to the entirety of Scripture on this subject without creating any contradictions. This series will attempt to do just that. Jesus Christ is the root and the offspring of David. A statement at the root (no pun intended) of everything regarding Jesus Christ being God incarnate. Someone can’t be the root and the branch of David without being God’s very Person incarnate. The rest of this series is going to go into great depth on this subject and look at verses like the ones you presented. It’s also going to look at Trinitarian proof texts. Both groups fall short of what God’s Word reveals as a whole. Did you by chance watch this entire video? 2 Corinthians 5:1-10, 18-19 establishes that Jesus Christ’s very Person is God. Just like we (our spirit that makes us who we are) tabernacles in our physical body likened unto a house; God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. This is not saying that Jesus was only filled with the Spirit. That would be ignoring the context. God was literally the Person dwelling in that temple/house of Jesus' body like our spirit dwells in our body making us who we are. So powerful! Please tune into the rest of this series to learn more. Watching this series from the very beginning is also something I recommend. I also want to add that I’m not saying the Father is the Son. The Father is unlimited while the Son is limited. Human nature is the distinction. Jesus had a human consciousness. God outside of the incarnation doesn’t have a human consciousness. That’s the distinction you have neglected to see that I made clear in this video. The Son is a human and the Father is not. I understand they are distinct but not with regards to Personhood.” The distinction is human nature. One must also not forget that if one has the Son they automatically have the Father which establishes the deity of Christ. 1 John 2:23-24 KJVS [23] Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. [24] Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. Why can’t one acknowledge the Father and deny the Son if what you say is true about Jesus not being God incarnate? Yet if one acknowledges the Son they automatically have the Father. This actually establishes the deity of Jesus Christ. We can’t forget what Jesus said in John 14 before the "us" and "we" passages. John 14:16-18 KJVS [16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. I’ll be doing a video on this shortly. Jesus was the one who was with them and the one who would be in them because He would not leave them comfortless (fatherless in the Greek). Jesus is the Father incarnate, the Lion and the Lamb. When they were filled with the Holy Spirit, that's when Jesus dwelt in them! Jesus is none other than God Himself incarnate.

@@ShatteringFalseFoundations Thanks for sharing your perspective, it was very insightful. It would be better if you can minimize your video and maximize the text, so that we could be able to see what you are presenting. I will be waiting for the next video.

@@ShatteringFalseFoundations Recently I was watching a unitarian videos. To be honest his videos were very convincing. His channel name is "The Trinity Delusion". If You can respond to some of his teaching that would be very helpful tool for those of doing research on this matter. Thanks.

I mean no disrespect I really am trying to understand.. Why did Jesus pray to the Father if he was God in flesh? Why did he say the Father is greater then him? And who is the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost?

[@ShatteringFalseFoundations]

The next video of this series that I just posted touches on this very thing and I am going to be doing videos that focus on dealing with this point. One needs to understand the distinction between Father and Son to understand why Jesus prayed to the Father. If you are approaching this subject from a trinitarian perspective then one must also ask why God the Son who is co equal with God the Father even needed to pray. Is God the Son subordinate to God the Father? If so, then how are they co equal as trinitarian doctrine teaches? We need to understand that in order for Jesus to pray and say that the Father was greater than him, there must be a distinction between Father and Son. But that distinction isn’t between different Persons that make up God in essence. Jesus is Yahweh God experiencing a genuine human existence. As a man Jesus needed to pray, sleep, eat, drink, and he could even feel pain and experience death. This reveals his genuine humanity and human consciousness. One needs to understand the dual nature of Christ (the union of deity and humanity to form a genuine human existence showing God’s great love for us) and understand his wilful limitation that he placed upon himself when He manifested in the flesh as a man. God didn’t cease being God outside of His incarnation in the flesh. Since the incarnation when Jesus was born, God is now the omnipresent invisible Spirit and a genuine man at the same time. But it’s one single Person of God who did this. Be sure to watch this latest video of mine and to keep a lookout for more videos that focus entirely on helping one to understand what took place when God manifest in the flesh. This series should also be watched in order to help one better understand foundational truths about God from the Old Testament so we can better understand the revelation from the New Testament regarding Jesus being God incarnate. I hope you continue to follow along in this series and that you receive greater clarity on this important subject. God bless you in your continued studies and seeking of the truth.

Interesting that those who have been to Heaven have had Jesus take them to the Father and Jesus and others have walked into the Fathers being and uniting and becoming one with him and then come back out of him again.

Interesting that the majority of people who say they went to heaven were also never born again. Therefore, whatever they experienced was not literal heaven. I don’t buy into NDE stuff and people going to heaven and sharing all about the things they saw. The apostle Paul wasn’t allowed to utter what he heard (2 Corinthians 12:2-4). Why are there all these people talking about what and who they saw in heaven? I don’t buy into that stuff. Especially when what they saw is unbiblical and they weren’t born again to enter the kingdom of God to begin with.

But Jesus was not just a man it was Our father son it took his spirit to overshadow marie to have Jesus in the flesh .

[@ShatteringFalseFoundations]

In this video I show from Scripture that Jesus is God incarnate. He is fully God but also fully man. Jesus is not just any man, He is God experiencing an existence with human nature. Jesus’ very Person is God and the Spirit of Christ is the Spirit of God. When referring to the deity of Christ it’s to be understood that this is in reference to the man Christ Jesus being God manifest in the flesh. The Word literally was made flesh and dwelt among us.
