I didn't dodge anything. I'm waiting for you to answer my question before tackling your question. Quid pro quo.You totally dodged the question. Like I knew you would.Your beliefs do not hold up to His statements and actions. You want to ignore His claim of divinity because you don't believe in His divinity. As such you twist everything He said and was written about Him. Your "explanations" make no sense because your position makes no sense. You won't even state your position on the divinity of Christ because that would reveal your deception.Yeshua schmeshua.Yeshua was saying that he had supernatural knowledge of things in the past because he existed before Abraham. And as if that weren't enough, right then and there he invoked the name "I Am" for himself, the same name that God calls himself in Exodus 3:14.
No, Jesus used the name of God as the reason how he knew abraham. Even before abraham was born God exists, I am, and since God was with and in Jesus he knew everything about Abraham in the same way a father tells his son about things that occured before his birth.
Even those who questioned Jesus said "you are not yet 50, how can you know abraham?"
This shows two things. Jesus was probably in his 40's. Also the implication is that if he was over 50 he could have known abraham which shows that knowing Abraham is about understanding abraham, and not about having met Abraham in person.
The fact remains that there never was and never will be a human being that was or became God either before, during, or after their human existence.
Here... I'll prove it. What do you think St. Paul is saying in 1 Corinthians 10:16-17?
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
"But go and tell my brothers that I am ascending to my Father and your Father, my God and your God."
This statement alone proves that Jesus neither thought of himself as or claimed to be God by saying that his God is our God.
Jesus also stated that God was the source of his existence. Any being whose source is God cannot be God.
Not to mention the title of this thread. Was Jesus asking himself why he had forsaken himself?
lol...derp, derp.
LIAR.
I noticed that you dodged the scriptural evidence that proves that you are a liar. What a surprise!
Testa di cazzo.
Anyway, I'll tell you what Paul meant there as soon as you tell me what He meant here:
"For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself." 1 Corinthians 11:29
But if you can't hold your britches, what St. Paul is saying is you aren't eating just a cracker and drinking wine. You are literally consuming the body and blood of Christ.
23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment. 32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.
33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. 34 Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.
