ollowing your logic, tell me how God is face to face with Himself? Tell me how that works.
In more detailed words, explain to me how the Word who is God ("Word was God"-John 1:1) is face to face with God (Word was face to face (προς) to God - John 1:1)?
first, quit reading "GREEK" mythology and learn God language. there is no face to face, but ... notice how 101G say this... "ANOTHER" ...OF GOD, diversified, or EQUALLY SHARED in a ECHAD in TIME, ORDER, PLACE, or RANK.... while in Natural, and resurrected, (Glorified flesh). you cannot understand this can you? even when God made it clear, by the scriptures, you still cannot understand. listen again and LEARN. Isaiah 41:4 "Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning?
I the LORD, the first,
and with the last; I am he." I, I, I, I, AM he. a single person in the ECHAD, of equal share. not any face to face deception. but if you want the Greek to understand what you're IGNORANTLLY calling "face to face" ... learn G243 ALLOS. and you will have the understanding that God in the ECHAD is "ANOTHER" of himself in TIME, ORDER, PLACE, or RANK. now here is the Mickelson's Enhanced Strong's Dictionaries of the Greek and Hebrew Testaments that 101G use for "ECHAD'. H259 אֶחָד 'echad (ech-awd') adj.
1. (properly) united, i.e. one.
2. (as an ordinal) first.
[a numeral from H258]
KJV: a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any(-thing), apiece, a certain, (dai-)ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together.
Root(s): H258
take special Note of definition #2.
now, the GREEK equivalent, G243 ALLOS. 101G will be using the Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Another, "
Allos expresses a numerical difference and denotes another of the same sort" NOTE" both "a numerical difference", and "Sort"... look these words up for your edification and understanding.
now that your so called face to face belief is negated, listen to the TRUTH. the First, the LORD, all cap was "
WITH" the Last right........... now, the truth, Isaiah 48:12 "Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called;
I am he;
I am the first,
I also am the last."
the TERM "ALSO" means, "
in addition; too", first addition is ANOTHER, but ANOTHER HOW. the term "IN" says it all. "IN" means, "
expressing the situation of something that is or appears to be enclosed or surrounded by something else". here, it is "Flesh", or was INCLOSED in flesh, but this was in, in, in, "TIME", "PLACE", ORDER", and "RANK". so God is no MIRROW IMAGE of himself FACE TO FACE. no, because Spirit is Spirit, and Flesh is Flesh, but he is GOD, Diversified, or is the "ANOTHER" of himself in, in, in, in, Flesh. so in addition to, this is the NUMERICAL DIFFERENCE in G243 Allos. see it now?
understand, God could not have been a ECHAD before the World was..... WHY?... thank you, before the World was there was no NEED for any FACE to FACE, as you say. only in the BEGINNING was there a NEED for an "ECHAD", or THE "ANOTHER" ....
WITH God, IN TIME, PLACE, ORDER, or RANK. so, your FACE to FACE is illogical., and IGNORANT. God is the "ANOTHER" of HIS OWN SELS, not an MIRROW IMAGE. but he, Gd himself in the ECHAD shared/or is the NUMERICAL DIFFERENCE of his OWN SELF...
you asked for details. ok, one more. God is Spirit... correct. can a Spirit be crucified? NO. so in "TIME", "PLACE", ORDER", or "RANK" he God had to OBTAINED of HIMSELF
the ... and not
a but the "EQUAL NATURE" ... NOTE: of, of, of, his OWN-SELF, in order to reside in Flesh, in a G2758 κενόω kenoo (ke-no-ō') state to be crucified for A. REDEMPTION, and B. SALVATION. (this is why 101G asked how much of the ONE Spirit was G2758 κενόω kenoo (ke-no-ō'), while in Human Flesh, 100%, because God cannot be divided. (STOP and THINK. 101G just gave you the answer to the TRINITY ERROR). and after his resurrection, the Amalgamation of a NEW CREATION, "Spirit" united/or Unionized in Glorified Flesh. hence his preeminence, in which he is the FIRST from the Dead.....and the LAQST in Sinful Human flesh. Oh this is just to easy not to understand.
note, upon the Amalgamation of the Spirit and the Flesh, (Glorified), therein is no longer any ECHAD, in "TIME", "PLACE", ORDER", and "RANK"...... NOT IN HIM, for all time is once again the same time. so in Spirit, or Spirit in Flesh he is the ONE GOD
so, if you're willing to learn the truth, study A. the Hebrew term, "ECHAD", H259 אֶחָד 'echad (ech-awd') and the Greek term "ANOTHER", G243 Allos. both are displayed in the OT as well in the NT.
101G in Christ commend you for at least asking, before what you are really up against....... which is the first step in LEARNING GODLY TRUTH.
101G.
