Hmmmmmm....this raises a trinitrian problem. Is our Lord Jesus "the Father"? He says "I and the Father are one." but there is a distinction since the Son proceeds from the Father. And then there's that event where God the Father said, "This is my beloved Son...". Please hurry. Could someone QUICKLY clarify before I say something I shouldn't.
Too late. 8~)
As Jesus is the Word made Flesh I believe we can figure Christ to be a physical being. The Father and Holy spirit are spiritual beings therefore They will be revealed in Jesus upon His returm. This will be when all things are made new.
A question is raised about our judgement upon our immediate death. I think we will be judged in our spirits and those in heaven will enter the new earth as physical beings with Jesus at the Second Coming.
he is emmanuel which means god among us.
he is god and he is of god. he is a different being, but the same.
It might sound confusing, but i get it completely
