Does Imparted Divine Nature Make Man Divine?

First, while the originator of sin—Lucifer, and the nature of original sin–self-seeking, are revealed, the origin of sin itself or a reasonfor its existence are not, or at least, not yet this side of the resurrection morning while yet in the mortal flesh. Notice the following:

      “It is impossible to explain the origin of sin, or to give a reason for its existence. It is an intruder for whose existence no reason can be given. It is mysterious, unaccountable; to excuse it; is to defend it. Could it be excused, could a cause be shown for its existence, it would cease to be sin. Our only definition of sin is that given in the word of God; it is ‘the transgression of the law [1 John 3: 4].’” – Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 4, p. 316, 1884.

The Four Different Natures Contrasted

Friday Morning Manna                                                     June 21, 2019

The Four Different Natures Contrasted

In the Bible there are four distinctly separate natures that follow this descending order: divine, angelic, human, and animal. They are never interchangeable, divisible, or evolutionary.

The Divine Nature. The Godhead, comprised of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are alone divine. To them exclusively belongs and emanates from mysterious life—original, unborrowed and underived. Thus, life is the greatest manifestation of God. These “three who are One” (1 John 3: 4) are alone immortal, uncreated, eternal, having no beginning and no end. Without God there is no life and without life there is nothing, not even void, much less a “dark hole.” God in Christ is the great I AM. “I AM that I AM” means not subject to time nor to space, circumstance, or anything. As Jesus declared to the unbelieving Jews: “Verily I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” not “I was.” (John 8: 58).

The Fall of Angels and the Fall of Man Contrasted

The Fall of Angels and the Fall of Man Contrasted

Human nature is made of flesh and blood, not of spirit, as angels with angel nature were. The crowning act of creation, having been made in the image and likeness of the Creator, man in human nature was endowed with a rational mind, an intelligent will, “the governing power in the nature of man.” It is the power to intellectually and spiritually perceive/discern between right from wrong, good from evil and then to act upon that determination as a matter of conviction, voluntarily, willingly, and then through constant practice, spontaneously.

Is There Room for Pluralism? (The Incarnation)

IV. Is There Room for Pluralism? (The Incarnation)

Pluralism asserts that Christ adopted both the unfallen (sinless, prelapsarian) and unfallen (sinless, postlapsarian) human natures. First, I found that both sides of the controversy have very compelling Scriptural reasons or interpretations thereof, for adopting their opposing views.  Therefore, as a sort of a neutral approach, I initially started out mentally figuring out whether enough of each side’s position on this dichotomy could produce an acceptable “amalgamation” in my mind that would help relieve the tension between the two and maybe even contribute a bit to helping diffuse the controversy. But what this initial attempt turned out to be was a more detailed consideration of both sides, plus some.

Does Being ‘Born Again’ Change Sinful Flesh to Sinless Flesh?

Friday Morning Manna                  May 31, 2019

Does Being ‘Born Again’ Change Sinful Flesh to Sinless Flesh?

JESUS CHRIST, whom Bible-based Christians (many hold tradition and Church teaching superior to the Bible) love, worship, obey and follow as the Shepherd of their souls, trusting in Him as their only Savior and Mediator, is nowhere mentioned per se in the Old Testament.

Does that mean He did not yet exist then, or if He did, who and in what form, where and what was He doing during the 4,000-year long patriarchal and Jewish dispensation, reckoned from creation? Did He arrive and make His appearance on earth only when He was born of Mary two thousand years ago, beginning the New Testament dispensation or Christian Era?

Christ ‘Manifested in the Flesh’ but only ‘in the Fullness of Time’

Friday Morning Manna                    May 24, 2019

Christ ‘Manifested in the Flesh’ but only ‘in the Fullness of Time’

In his freshly-created, unfallen state, Adam failed the first simplest of tests of faith and loyalty to his Creator by disobeying the command not to partake of the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in Eden. He yielded to his wife’s temptation to partake of the forbidden fruit, which she had first tasted, deceived by Satan disguised as a serpent. 1 Tim. 2: 14; Gen. 3. Through inordinate love for his wife, Adam knowingly and willfully disobeyed God’s command, transgressed His law. The First Couple immediately became subject to death.

The Humanity of Christ: What was It? (Continued from last week)

No. 6:  The Indispensable Role of the Holy Spirit

“The Holy Spirit, which proceeds from the only-begotten Son of God, binds the human agent, body, soul, and spirit, to the perfect, divine-human nature of Christ.”

How many church creeds specifically declare that it is the Holy Spirit that binds the true believer, i.e., body, mind, soul and spirit to the perfect divine-human nature of Christ? How many of those still debating this issue will give this saving truth the attention it fully deserves and bring it into their discussions? Into their set of beliefs?  Into their moral character-building?
