ego eimi.

[FreeInChrist]

It is not what He did has a man empowered by the Holy Spirit; rather, it is who and what he was. Or perhaps more to the point it is what He wasn't. He wasn't created. He existed eternally with the Father (John 1:1; 17:5).

 

[FreeInChrist]

God is the Supreme Being, yet Jesus is sent by, dependent on, and subject to that Supreme Being. Therefore he cannot be that Supreme Being.

Have you figured out which of @Darby 's is correct?

Dyophysitism is the position that Jesus is one person of one substance but with two different natures: one divine and one human. This term is from the Greek duo for “two” and physis for “nature.”

Miaphysitism is the position that Jesus is one person of one substance with only one, fully integrated nature that is both fully human and fully divine. This term is from the Greek mia for “one” and physis for “nature.”

You do realize that your diminishing Jesus to the inability to be your savior? YES YOU ARE>

It depends on which biblical translation you read.

I especially like NLT For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.

and Berean Standard For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form.

Not to forget

KJV says Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

NKJV says For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;

Amplified says For in Him all the fullness of Deity (the Godhead) dwells in bodily form [completely expressing the divine essence of God].

American Standard for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,

English Revised for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,

Webers For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

Literal Standard because in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,

Youngs Literal because in him doth tabernacle all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,

Douay Rheims For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally;

Lamsa For in him is embodied all the fulness of the Godhead.

And 3 or 4 more.

You really should see them all befor making your mind up like this

Colossians 2:9 - Alive in Christ

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form.

I didn't quote the whole verse.

Yes, I have read them all and although they use different wordings; the meaning remains the same.

. . to the fullest extent God dwelt in Christ's body which carries the same meaning at Colossians 1:19 and also carries the same meaning as 2 Cor. 5:19, i.e. God was in Christ . . .

Because the Spirit of God dwells in Christ bodily (in the body of Christ/in Christ's body)to the fullest extent for he was given the spirit without measure (John 3:37); it doesn't make hims God . . .
Paul prays for us, the believers who make up the church, the body of Christ - to also be filled with all the fullness of God.

. . . .and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. . . [Eph. 3:19]

According to scripture, we are to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

YES and if you read enough verses you will know He is God the Son.

YES and if you read enough verses you will know He is God the Son.

I have read plenty of scripture, many times in fact, and I have yet to find that Jesus is God the Son. The phrase/term 'God the Son' is not found in any translation of any Bible or at least I haven't found one and I'm pretty sure if anyone knew of such a translation; it would have been posted long before now.

Colossians 2:9 emphasizes that all the fullness of the Deity dwells in Christ. This means that everything that defines God—His power, wisdom, holiness, and divine nature—completely resides in Jesus, affirming His full divinity.

The terms miaphysitism and dyophysitism are used to explain the nature of His full divinity and how Jesus should be thought of as both God and man.

Dyophysitism is the position that Jesus is one person of one substance but with two different natures: one divine and one human. This term is from the Greek duo for “two” and physis for “nature.”

Miaphysitism is the position that Jesus is one person of one substance with only one, fully integrated nature that is both fully human and fully divine. This term is from the Greek mia for “one” and physis for “nature.”

The real difference comes down to whether Christ has two natures or one. The issue is not whether Christ is fully God and fully human, but in what way He is both. The Bible never explicitly answers these questions, but Bible-believing Christians try to find the position that best accounts for all of the biblical evidence. Also, each of these positions has implications that need to be addressed. It helps to understand miaphysitism and dyophysitism in contrast to each other and in relation to some other views.

Ah, now you've changed it completely. Rather than Jesus being "in a triune Godhead" now you're saying the Deity is in him. That's something I entirely agree with and what the Bible says too. I can work with that. The fact that the Deity is in Jesus and others isn't a metric by which one can say that Jesus is God without consequently saying others are God.

Ephesians 3
19of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Those are interesting takes. How about how Jesus isn't God at all? Whether he has two natures is kinda a moot point. Jesus could have a million different natures, but he can never be the same person God.

Will you define who or what God is in your view? I say God is a singular person known as the Father. How about you?

I disagree with both.

Why do you think Jesus can't be my savior?
