When one employs a text in order to address a
concern or, to make a point then, ONE HAS A DOCTRINE, JUDY.

If Christ came in the fallen state He would have been a
sinner-
First of all, Dean, Christ is God and Man.
Secondly, don't think in terms of "fallen nature" but in terms of sin
nature.
A sin nature and a "fallen nature are one and the
same"
So far as humanity is concerned - There is none
righteous, no not one.
Jesus Christ, is pure, holy, and he is and always
has been righteous.
The same nature - yesterday, today, and
forever
Now, you may laugh thinking one is no better than the other
-
but I believe there is a difference. The first has sinned
- the second only
has potential for sin...... it is temptable.
Adam and Eve were created with a temptable nature (a sin nature)
or they would have never been given the charge to "not eat" nor would
they have violated that command. jd
A&E were created innocent; they did not know
sin until they decided to
disobey - that's all it took. This may
conflict with your doctrine but that's
just how it is.

cd: To me this fits the state of
Christianity (our new state, a Christ-like state)not the lost
man following Satan state that the world lies in
.
Yes, a good analogy but we
as Christians are given a measure of the Holy Spirit;
how
crazy does it sound to say
Jesus came into the world with a nature that follows
Satan
which is the natural mind
and the same state that the world lies in... Oh but ATST
he
walks in the fullness of
the Holy Spirit?
cd: If Christ came in the fallen state
He would have been a sinner-Yet God himself said He was well
pleased with Christ-What sinner is God well pleased wit? Christ
was of a righteous nature-not a fallen nature.In the below we see
Christ saying "Yes, You are of Abraham's seed but not Abraham's
Children-instead you are Satan's Children. This shows
there is a clear distinction between the two. One can be of
Abraham's seed and still belong to Satan-and One can be of Abraham
seed and belong to God.Christ was of this nature- Hence
He was with this nature in the flesh of Abraham's seed.When God
prevented Abraham from killing Isaac He told Abraham that
because you have not withheld your son from me I will not withhold
my one son from you-meaning he would send Christ to Abraham's
decedents.
Joh 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham's
seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye
shall be made free?
Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Joh 8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth ever.
Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Joh 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place & lt; FONT
color=#ff0000 size=3>in you.
Joh 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Joh 8:39 They answered and said unto him,
Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Joh 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Joh 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be
not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Joh 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth
and
came
from
God;
neither
came
I
of
myself,
but
he
sent
me.
Joh 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Joh 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
cd: Hebrews
2:18: For in that
he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them
that are tempted.
We have on record that he
was tempted in the wilderness in the same three areas
A&E
were in the garden; where
they flunked, he passed that test. Then he was tempted in
the
garden of Gethsemane not
to obey the Father and he overcame there. All the rest is
pure
speculation.
cd: To be Holy (including tender
hearted) and see sin -in the temple-in the hypocrisy of the
Pharacees-In the rejection from His own people because they liked
sin more Judy is to suffer-I do the same thing while out on the
streets with unbelief and sin.
Clark wrote:
Heb 2:18 - For in that he himself hath
suffered - The maxim on which this verse is founded is
the following: A state of suffering disposes persons to be
compassionate, and those who endure most afflictions are they who
feel most for others. The apostle argues that, among other causes,
it was necessary that Jesus Christ should partake of human nature,
exposed to trials, persecutions, and various sufferings, that he
might the better feel for and be led to succor those who are
afflicted and sorely tried. This sentiment is well expressed by a
Roman poet: -
Me quoque per multas similis fortuna
labores
Jactatam hac demum voluit consistere
terra:
Non ignara mali, miseris succurere
disco.
Virg. Aen. i., v. 632.
"For I myself like you, have been
distressd,
Till heaven afforded me this place of
rest;
Like you, an alien in a land unknown,
I learn to pity woes so like my own."
Dryden.
"There are three things," says Dr. Owen, "of which
tempted believers do stand in need:
1. Strength to withstand their
temptations;
2. Consolations to support their spirits under
them;
3. Seasonable deliverance from
them.
Unto these is the succor afforded by our High Priest
suited; and it is variously administered to them:
1. By his word or promises;
2. By his Spirit; (and, that
1. By communicating to them supplies of grace or
spiritual strength;
2. Strong consolation;
3. By rebuking their tempters and temptations);
and
3. By his providence disposing of all things to their
good and advantage in the issue." Those who are peculiarly tempted
and severely tried, have an especial interest in, and claim upon
Christ. They, particularly, may go with boldness to the throne of
grace, where they shall assuredly obtain mercy, and find grace to
help in time of need. Were the rest of the Scripture silent on
this subject, this verse might be an ample support for every
tempted soul.
I am also allowing Christ,s divinity
for the entire time he walked the earth- but I do not
allow for Him to not be wholly God and to not be
wholly Human .
Again I ask you Dean - what is
wholly God and wholly human? Explain it to me.
What does
it
look
like? People just parrot it all over the place
because it is supposed to be "orthodox"
Who
cares if it makes sense or
not.
cd:He- not "it". He Look just like
a beautiful man completely filled with the Holy Spirit Judy-
beyond measure.
When I say "it" I mean
Wholly God and Wholly human. Like - what does love look
like, what does justice look like?
cd: He looks like God in the inner
parts-with a glow of purity about Him from righteousness,truth and
Justice-and a man on the outer parts.
cd: I accept it in love Judy,thank
you-nor do I want to be opposed to you-I just want to express the
truth that I know. The only liars would be those opposed to
truth-I see non here doing that-they are only a stubborn
lot-excluding the Mormons.
Thanks Dean; I hope we are
communicating
Grace and Peace to
you..... judyt
cd: I think were are
sister-family can discuss truth and still be family.May God bless
you Judy:-)
