Who is Jesus?

I'm aware of that. Still, the Prince of the Jews becomes the King of the Jews upon descending to earth.

Jesus Christ was and remains the Sovereign of the chosen. He toils for our sin, amen.

Is it your belief that Christ is Michael?
 
Evidence for that? Its total nonsense. "Angel of the Lord" SIMPLY MEANS an angel of the lord, a messanger of God ... there is no indication that the angel is the massiah ...

Also bowing down ISN'T worship ... people do that to King David in the scriptrues (using the same word, such as Abigail), doesn't mean they thought that King David was Yahweh, it's also use for simply the title of King in Israel .... It doesn't mean religious worship necessarily.

In the Greek (used in the septuagent as well) preoskeneo, sometimes translated worship sometimes translated obescence, is used for kings, angels, saints, God, Jesus, preists and so on.

But the word Latreuo, which is religious worship is ONLY EVER used for YHWH, the father.

That whole post is simply a missunderstanding of the language. If "worship" or "obescience" makes the angel of the Lord (which is just a title for an angel, which could be many different angels), makes that angel Yahweh himself, it also makes king david yahweh.

Take a look at the Scriptures I posted and realize that the Angel of the Lord is recognized as God, worshipped as God and accepts worship just as God would. And that is something no angel would ever do (see Revelation 19:10).

But keep on picking and choosing which verses you want to listen to and those you don’t.

It’s what cultist do.

I'm reading ALL verses ... also as I said there are 2 greek words for worship, proskeneo and latreuo, the former is given and recieved to kings, angels, saints and so on all over the scriptures (I can give you verses if you don't believe me), whereas the latter is ONLY EVER used for Yahweh.

If recieving proskeneau means you are God then King David was God to, do you believe that? I don't think so.
 


What does that mean?

What it means, (I'm gonna just clear this up for you egofarm if you don't mind, The Baron doesn't understand things that arn't black and white) is that he does not know whether or not Jesus is Michael, it's a possibility.

“Who do you say that I am?”

This was the question posed to the apostles by Jesus’. Peter confessed that Jesus was the Messiah--theChrist.

I believe that Jesus is God, Himself. Now I realize that there are people who believe in Jesus but do not believe that He is God. Some believe Him to be the angel Michael. Others believe Him to simply be the“Son of God” and call him such without ever explaining what they understand the“Son of God” to be.

So who do you say that He is? Please explain.

This is a question which has been debated by Christians from the beginning. It seems that if Christians haven't resolved this issue by now, they never will. Christians generally are satisfied with words such as "saviour", God, Son of God, etc., without getting beyond the words to a better understanding. Perhaps this is a question which is beyond man's capacity to go except the words. Baha'is see Jesus as a "Manifestation of God" which can be explained with an analogy which goes like this: God is like the Sun and mankind is like the earth which is the recipient of the light and life of the Sun. Jesus is like a Perfect Mirror reflecting the Light of God to humanity. If you look into the Mirror and see the image of the Sun, you can rightly say that you see the Sun. But in another sense, the Sun is not really in the Mirror, but is situated 93 million miles away. This can be one way of understanding that Jesus is God, and it's an idea you can get your mind around.
 

yeah, that post doesn't addresss it at all.

There are 2 different words for worship used, one can be used for lots of different people, and one for Only Yahweh. Infact, look at the command in Luke 4:8

Jesus answered him, “It is written,

‘Worship (Proskeneau) the Lord your God,
and serve (Latreuo) only him.’”


That word Latreao is ONLY EVER used for Yahweh .. Not for the angel, not for any many, not for Jesus.

Proskeneau is used for tons of people.
 
Jews are the people chosen worthy by God the all powerful and all knowing. One of the Jews choose the rest of of the people from a good part of the world to drink his blood and thus gain access with holy blood that to the holy position of being worthy from God like Jews. That Jew was Jesus and we should thank him for allowing us to be second in the Gods list of priorities on who is worthy and who is not.

Who is third in order I wonder?
