No, I don't believe I would die because I belong to Him
and He intercedes for me daily. However, I am not yet where I would like to be
- Look at the reaction of the apostle John to the risen Christ - remember
John is the one who layed on Jesus'
breast at what is called the Last Supper. He
turned around to see One like the Son of Man clothed with a garment down to the
feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. His head and His hair were
white like wool, as white as snow and His eyes like a flame of fire. His feet
were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of
many waters. He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp
two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength -
and when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead...... judyt
DAVEH: Do you believe that IF you were to see Jesus' face now, you
would die?
Judy Taylor wrote:
Yes because it is in the resurrected Christ that
the "fullness of the Godhead bodily dwells" and believers are
made
complete in Him. During his earthly ministry
Jesus was one with the Father who annointed Him with the fullness
of the
Spirit but He was not walking in God's fullness as
an independent entity. jufyt
DAVEH: Do you believe Jesus is fully God
now?
Judy Taylor wrote:
My belief DaveH is that according
to scripture the Godhead consists of God the Father, God the Word,
and God the Holy Spirit. The man Jesus is
God the Word who by the eternal Spirit was born into a body of
flesh and blood in the
likeness of man. I have never stated that Jesus during
his earthly ministry was "fully
God" because scripture tells us that He (Jesus)
layed aside the glory He had with the Father and emptied
Himself so that He might come here as an example for us of how we should
walk. If He came as "fully God"
then being conformed to His Image would be an impossibility for us mere
mortals since God is transcendent.
But He knows our frame.

DAVEH: Do you believe Jesus is currently fully
God? I'm rather interested in knowing when you think Jesus
became fully God, Judy. My reason for asking is because
I'd like to know if you think there is (or was) ever a time when one
could view the face of Jesus and live, rather than die IF they had
seen God's face. Does that make sense, Judy?
I'm just trying to sort out in my mind what and how you perceive God
and Jesus being one, and being fully God. (I think I may
be making this question more complicated than necessary....sorry if
that's the case.)
Judy Taylor wrote:
Not in the way that you do DaveH, but then
my understanding of God the Father differs from yours
also
so I'm sure this does not surprise
you. Apart from out and out athiests everyone has a God
that
they believe to be the real one and noone
will be validated until we stand before Jesus himself and
he
tells us which side we are to go to..
