Here is Jesus in the New Testament:
Mat 17:1 ¶ And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, Mat 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light.
Jesus IS the Light of the first Day. He came into the physical world and is the only Literal Image of the invisible Spirit, we call God. Every man MUST stand in front of Him as He is. It will be like standing 6 feet from the Sun.
.....so, no flames shooting from his eyes and unpronounceable names written somewhere on the many crowns he doesn't seem to be wearing here? Also, the OT passage you quoted in parallel makes no mention of these particular traits here now, does it?
You've made a gratuitous connection where there isn't one. Neither passage supports the other I'm afraid. Both passages read in context to their respective chapters also read very differently again.
Are you trying to convince us that Jesus is not God? What will you say when you stand in front of Him?
I'm still not convinced there is a God, let alone Jesus is God too. why should the Bible be believed with all these tall and contradictory stories coming from it if you think it's all literal history?
What a terrible fear awaits those who wake up to Judgment. The Being you don't believe exists, is your Judge.
I'll believe it if I ever see it. All the evidence we have shows our consciousness is an emergent property entirely reliant on our physical brains to manifest. As a consequence, our consciousness (along with other functions our body manifests, such as digestion) cease when we die. So tell me, do you believe our Digestion goes to heaven with us too? Do we eat and drink in Heaven?
You are entitled to your opinion but not your "facts". I see no rebuttal at all from you, neither Scripturally, Scientifically nor Historically. It's like shooting fish in a barrel refuting (proving wrong) your ideas. God Bless you

You literally have no foundation for the drivel you put forth. Even setting aside my observations as an Atheist - Many, many other Christians including quite a few with well-established biblical study credentials and decades upon decades of professional study behind them, don't agree with you.
Unless you can provide a well-established and convincing argument (and you have failed dismally in doing this), I'll take their word over yours every time.
