To be "saved from sin" requires sin to be our master and we its slave. It has us in bondage. It has a claim on our lives and demands our death. That is why we need to be saved from it. Since Yeshua never sinned, he was never in bondage to it nor a slave of it. Therefore, he did NOT need to be saved from sin.
If we were having a conversation and you suddenly grabbed me and said, "Whew, I just saved you from falling", then no, you didn't save me from falling. If I was about to face plant, then yes, you saved me from falling.
Because the Law is in place there is a "this far and no further" which saves us all from the bottomless pit. Yeshua was saved by the obedience to the Law. It is like a "bridge out" sign, it saves us from going into the creek.
The law saved Yeshua. verb
This name is to be understood in the light of Acts 10:38; "How [Yahweh] anointed Yeshua of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for [Yahweh] (El) was with him." Not that Yeshua was El, but that El was with and in Yeshua.
Yeshua could forgive sin because a greater being (YHWH) gave him that authority.
Thomas did not speak English. Therefore, he did not use the word "God". He most likely spoke Hebrew and used the word "elohim" in the sense Psalm 82:6 uses it of men. "Adoni Eli"
Not the glory of God, but of His Son.
"Expression"/"image" of God, not God Himself. My son is the expression of me, but he is not me. A picture/image of an apple is not the apple itself.
This is all assumption based on the erroneous belief that Yeshua was "God" in the same way the Father is "God". Satan's attempts to get Yeshua to sin were intended to disqualify him as being the Savior of the world, not to disqualify him as being "God". Yeshua was an elohim, not THE ELOHIM.
Amazing disconnect. Yeshua, if He sinned did disqualify Him as God. That is Satan's argument, the law can not be obeyed, it is too restrictive. If Satan had won, and Yeshua, God in the flesh, sinned, the whole kingdom falls. It is a chain reaction of immense proportions that are hard to comprehend. But thankful it didn't happen because Yeshus was saved by the Law He kept.
Obviously it is not too restrictive and could be obeyed since Yeshua did so. If he did so as God, then you again call upon his supposed divinity while a man.
Took on human flesh, God in the flesh, what part are you missing here... Have you disconnected God from God in the Flesh? I know that the mystery of God is hard and explaining the infinite to finite is difficult. But at the plain writing of "God in the Flesh" should be a solid keystone upon which if you "seen me you have seen the Father"...
I am "missing" the part you are adding. I can't "disconnect" what was never connected in Scripture. You have turned the Son into his own God.
Finite mind is having difficulty understanding infinite. God is more than capable of sitting on the throne of heaven and have His flesh walk the earth.
God does not have flesh. He is Spirit.
These verses refer to Father YHWH and no one else.
The words of Revelation 1:8 are not the words of Yeshua and should not be printed in red in modern Bibles. John is giving a greeting starting in Revelation 1:4 and ending in verse seven. Verse four is a greeting from the Father “which is, and which was, and which is to come.” Verse five is a greeting from Yeshua the Messiah. Verse eight is spoken by the Father which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Scripture makes a clear distinction between the Almighty and Yeshua in Revelation 21:22; “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.” (KJV)
