Thomas... My Lord and my God

[Fred]

I did answer the question properly. But you did not like the answer when I said...

Jesus was made the Lord

That ignores whether or not the Father is the 'Lord" of every Christian.

Clue up.

Here's Romans 6:1-4. Show me what verse says when we are made new in Christ our spirit is resurrected?

1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Forgive me. I didn't review the passage before I posted it. Continue on to verses 5-7.

Here's Romans 6:5-7. Show me what verse says when we are made new in Christ our spirit is resurrected?

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

You got nothing.

 

[Fred]

You got nothing.

Keep telling yourself that.

No I don't really care about what they call me. I just want fairness if I can get it. But now I never thought that somebody might be hitting a report button.

Yeah it happens. There is someone who regularly reports me on a different forum every time I attempt to interpret his writings. Imagine having a Bible discussion, you reply, but it turns out the other person baited you and switched into victimized "Christian" mode with a persecution complex. I mean, sometimes you just gotta roll with it and pray for them to grow thicker skin.

What's your point though?

here's the link on the virgin birth topic: #VirginBirthSignificance

Jesus can be called God's Son by virtue of the virgin birth where God's Spirit overshadowed Mary. The virgin birth is senseless without the divinity of Christ. If there were not something more than humans bearing humans, then it would have been Joseph as the father of Jesus.

I'm only here to help if I can. I count them being nasty to me as a sign I'm correct on how I see the Scriptures. The majority has never been right at anytime in history on the subject of the Scriptures. When I was younger I used to say to myself if I'm following the larger group on a biblical subject then I will probably be following the wrong side. The fools use that against me. They say we follow what most of the world does and you follow the smaller group.

Was Jesus separated from the Father because of our sin that was placed upon Him on the cross? Yes.
That means His spirit died on the cross just as our spirit dies when we sin.

Was Jesus resurrected from the dead, both physically and spiritually, by the Holy Spirit? Yes.
And as verse 5 here says, our spirit is resurrected by the same Holy Spirit in the same manner that Jesus was resurrected.
