How did Jesus become God?
Who benefits from Jesus becoming God?
I'm not aware of anyone who believes Jesus
became God. There really are two beliefs:
2. Jesus is not God, therefore
He is a CREATED BEING.
1. Jesus is God---no beginning, no "becoming", He was God
from the start.
John1 says "through Jesus came all things into being, and
apart from Him came thothing into being that has come into being." So---if JESUS
came-into-being, how did Jesus come into being,
apart from Jesus???
Who benefits from Jesus being God? That's rather non-sequitur, isn't it? Jesus is what He is; either way, He's still our SAVIOR. but then, if He is NOT God, then
God created a being to serve as our sacrifice for sin; or, God-became-man to pay for what man could not.
An interesting additional question: Isaiah 43:10-12 says,
" 'Before Me there was no God formed, they shall be none after Me. I, even I, am the Lord. There is NO SAVIOR besides Me. It is I who have saved and proclaimed, and there was no strange god among you; so you are My witnesses' declares the Lord, 'and I am God.' "
There is no Savior besides Jehovah.
Who then is Jesus???
(BTW, Philip2:6 correctly translates:
"Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: ")
It seems to me you don't even want the answers. Yyou are not looking for answers to your questions, you already have the answers isn't that right?
Indeed it is. Yet no heart changes
until it is ready; and it is the heart itself that changes, WITH GOD. We ourselves do not change others. As long as there is discourse and discussion, there is opportunity to speak the Gospel---and perhaps only a seed is planted, to grow later...
