Yet I have a better question.

What is the doctrine of Christ?

For is it not written if you have not the doctrine of Christ
you have not the Father and the Son?

So therefore to believe on Him
you would have to have the doctrine of Christ.

Is this correct?
Hello, the one who believe that Jesus is the Christ...also believe in the Father...As the scripture say...."whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also"....

One of the 3 facets of the creator of the entire universe, Heaven and Earth.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are the 3 facets of one creator God.
Jesus Christ is the Son
He came to Earth through the miracle of immaculate conception and was born in the flesh of men, during which He lived for 33 years without committing a single sin.
He taught the Gospel to His disciples and anyone who would follow Him and listen to Him.
He shut down critics who tried to trick Him, giving answers to their questions that they could not find fault in.
He performed miracles to prove that He was the Son of God
He promised to His faithful that He would save them from death and prepare a paradise for them where they would live with Him forever.
Then in the ultimate act of sacrifice and mercy from our loving God, He took EVERY SIN PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE ONTO HIMSELF. He became sin, He was completely forsaken by the Father, who cannot abide sin, and died on the cross to pay the price for all the sins of our entire species, so that we could all be redeemed and dwell with God in the next age.
He forgave THIEVES being put to death with Him and told them that they would come with Him to paradise.
Then He CONQUERED death itself and was resurrected in GLORY and again saw His disciples before departing to Heaven. Showing that He was truly the way the truth and the life, and that we'd experience resurrection in glory too through His grace.
He will return one day, conquer evil, and rule this world in peace for 1000 years. Then He will remake all creation and resurrect everyone, those who accepted His grace will live forever with Him in the new perfect creation, free of sin, free of death, free of sorrow, in perfect bodies, in a perfect union with him and perfect fellowship with all the redeemed. Those who rejected Him, will be judged and face the wrath of God, and they will die a second time and be in torment and fire forever.
He is the promised savior, the King of Kings, the redeemer and God Himself.
He paid the price for all of our sins and offers salvation freely to all, if we'd accept His paying it forward for us.
am I missing any of the big points? He's everything, the alpha and omega, the sovereign of all creation and is love itself. He's perfect, the ultimate Good, and the ultimate source of everything.
How much more can I say?

If he came to save all sinners, why aren't all saved?

If saving all sinners was his mission, did he fail?
If someone stands out in the street and offer people 1000.00, most will accept it. But not all. (This has been done and some people did not accept the money.) But all could accept it if they chose. All sinners are indeed potentially saved. Not all are willing to accept the terms of that salvation. So those who reject it miss out. Jesus did not fail. It is sinners who reject Him that are at fault.

I am starting this thread to prove that not any of you
in Spirit and truth know who and what is Jesus Christ.

I am going to try to provoke you
to seek that to which to believe
that will have no errors within it.


Give it a try...

Tell me who is and what is Jesus Christ to you?

A very odd and arrogant question. I believe that you believe such a thing can be done - that you can convince yourself other people are wrong, but I highly doubt you can change anyone else's belief.

What is baseball to you? Whatever it is to you, that's what it is to you. It doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, that's what it is to you.

So, what is your reason for asking the question?

Why does a Christian begin a thread with the idea that Christians don't know the one they serve? God "hates" when a brother sows discord among other brothers (Pro. 6:16-19) and that is all that can happen here. You start with a negative, with an open desire to prove brothers wrong.

I would never call another brother or sister in Christ a troll.

But that is just me.
The interesting thing here, is I know for a fact that I can prove to all reading that you don't know him as you think you do. But I wouldn't do that to a brother, openly like this. The object of a believer is not to belittle or demean other believers, we are part of the same family even if the understanding of some isn't as great as others. Our understanding, our doctrine, are NOT what save us.

Tell me who is and what is Jesus Christ to you?

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross."

--Colossians 1

Hi ooQQoo, based upon what you've said here and in some other threads, I get the impression that your theology is more than likely a super-ultra-mega-high intensity version of Calvinism, would you say that is correct?

When it comes to the person of Jesus, I suspect you agree that Jesus is the second person of the Trinity, that He possessed two natures while living on earth, one fully God, and one fully man, and I suspect you agree that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, was crucified, and then rose from the dead 3 days later, conquering sin and death - correct?

this is a subjective question so you're going to get a subjective answer that can't be disputed because within subjectivity the subject is always right. Who Jesus actually is may be different than who Jesus is to me.

All this does is prove that you don't know the Spirit and truth of Jesus Christ, nothing more.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth is God in the Flesh. He restored the relationship between God the Father and humanity through the work on the cross once lost through Adam. It is open for all to be regenerated through His Holy Spirit and be in the Body of Christ. The Kingdom of Go. And, to be saved from the second death.
Blessings

It is sinners who reject Him that are at fault.

...then Jesus' mission was not to save all sinners, but to save those who believe in him. What you state still rejects the idea that it was his aim to save all, but rather those who receive him. If you believe that he did come to save all, then he failed and is not a perfect Savior. You cannot affirm both consistently.
