Jesus, the Savior of the world.
For Jesus to be the savior of a world cursed by sin, resulting in the salvation of the new heavens and earth and all therein, he must be greater than all. Only God can redeem an entire universe and all that…

Jesus, as an innocent man, having finite righteousness, could only atone for one sinner. Pro quid pro so to speak. But as God, having infinite righteousness, he can atone for all the Father gave him.

If Jesus was just a man, we only have man's finite righteousness imputed to us. = temporal physical life. If Jesus is God, we have God's infinite righteousness imputed to us. Infinite righteousness = Eternal life spiritual life. Flesh …

But you miss the most important part. Had Jesus not been God, we could not have the eternal righteousness of God imputed to us. Had Jesus been only a good man, we would have only finite temporal righteousness imputed to us.

Thanks for your concern. But this thread went wildly off topic. So I'm confused about what you are aiming at. The Kingdom of God? or the rate of bodily decay in the grave?
If the kingdom of God, it is here now and there is no f…

Scripture teaches that Jesus' body entered a state of decay. But that God did not permit his body to decay while in that state. If you think time and the natural rate of decomposition between his time of death and the resurrection was …

You have serious flaws in your ideas about God. One, you make him created by willing his attributes. You introduce time into the Godhead saying God became more than what he started out as. This robs him of his eternality. You also deny…

Jesus turned water into wine. The fundamentalists turned it into grape juice.

Ping group: A purely human Jesus, one who is not God, cannot provide eternal life, not even for himself.

This verse speaks of Jesus. Because the following verse says: “His dominion will be vast and he will bring immeasurable prosperity. He will rule on David’s throne and over David’s kingdom, establishing it and strengthening it by promot…

At the root of salvation is the doctrine of Imputation. And the difference between having a purely human Jesus, as another Adam and a divine Jesus as another Adam is found in the results of Imputation.
A purely human Jesus could restore u…

You imply, by all that you say, that the only reason Jesus' body did not reach the advanced stages of decay was the time element between the time of death and the time of the resurrection. But we know Lazarus already emitted the stench…

Again, many people know what I'm talking about. I've heard some give a time and date for when they experienced the new birth. I can too. But I didn't pay attention to the date at that time. But it was a supernatural life changing event…

You are saying God did not intervene by not permitting Jesus' body to decay from the onset of death. But he let it rot and stink just as he did Lazarus' body.

How does blind unknowing will power know enough to will anything? This is how you misrepresent God if you insist he willed his nature.

Getting back to the question "why did God create Satan?" you say: "please read Ezekiel 28:13-18, of Lucifer before becoming Satan".
This is a popular view but has nothing to do with Satan. It is about the King of Tyre.

If Lazarus did not decay, why did they raise such a "stink" about it? People enter a state of decay upon death. Brain cells die within 4 minutes. Not being alive = decay.
Please note the following related facts:

You say: "God has a nature to be a certain way because he chooses to be that way." = God is created and not eternal. Where did God get the wisdom to will anything if he did not already have it?

You still rob God of his glory in his miraculously "not permitting" Jesus body to experience decay. This was not the case with Lazarus who already had profuse odor from decay slightly beyond the time God raised Jesus from the tomb.

When born again you immediately experience the fruit of the Holy Spirit. In my case, after the event, I noticed a huge difference between looking for happiness in life to having joy and happiness, and the relief of no longer looking fo…

Is Jesus God? I believed he was before I ever read my bible or heard any doctrine on the matter. Because of the inner experience I associated with his name. I think the new birth experience where “The Spirit himself bears witness to our …

I asked: Is God good because he chooses to be good? Or does he choose to be good because he is good? We can further illustrate this by asking if a person is a thief because they steal? Or if they steal because they are by nature a thie…

I'm quoting a Surgeon who does not speak nonsense. I'm quoting David, Peter and Paul who verify that God supernaturally kept Jesus' body from decaying, in what everyone agrees is a state of decay, according to common medical knowledge.…

Scripture. “But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.” (Acts 13:37)

So you do not think God supernaturally prevented Jesus' body from decaying in the tomb. When Lazarus body already smelled of death and rot by the fourth day?

I am using the bible just as written. You cannot answer my questions apart from using the bible.

Is God good because he chooses to be good? Or does he choose to be good because he is good?
If goodness was not his nature, how could he be good enough to will being good? If God willed any of his attributes, you make him a cre…

You say: "First of all, God didn't create "Satan"."
