Colossians 2:9 The
Godhead is Divine Nature
Seek The Old Paths: "Christianity is built upon the Deity of
Jesus the Christ. That Jesus is both the 'Son of God' and 'God
incarnate' is set forth clearly in Scripture."
First, That refutes Jesus as the
SON of the "self-existing" God.
Matt. 16:15 He saith unto them,
But whom say ye that I am?
Matt. 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art
the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matt. 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art
thou, Simon Barjona:
for flesh and blood hath
not revealed it unto thee,
but MY Father
which is in heaven.
Matt. 16:18 And I say also unto thee,
That thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.
Second:
Christianity is built upon the "salvation issue" defined
inclusively and exclusively in the prophets. Jesus
identified the Prophets and other prophecies "concerning me"
as Holy Scripture.
Rom. 1:2 (Which he had promised
afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Rom. 1:3 Concerning HIS Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
which was made
of the seed of David according to the FLESH;
Rom. 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
according to the spirit
of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
The Gospel and letters of John came decades later to refute the
"proof texts" already being used to diminish Jesus and His power
and authority as the MAN, Prophet, Priest, King
1John 4:3 And every spirit that
confesseth not
that
Jesus Christ is come in the FLESH is
not of God:
and this is that spirit of
antichrist,
whereof ye have heard that it should come;
and even now already
is it in the world.
Jesus was sent to seek and save lost spirits: those OF the world
will not hear the invitation and make the good confession which
honors the MAN Jesus as our elder brother.
Rev. 1:5 And from Jesus
Christ,
who is the faithful
witness,
and the first begotten
of the dead,
and the prince of the
kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his
own blood,
Christianity is the School of Christ through
the Word or Logos: It is built upon or EDUCATED by the
Prophets and Apostles.
Colossians.2.9.Godhead.Dwelled.as.Divine.Nature
Col. 2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I
have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have
not seen my face in the flesh;
Notice that the word AND means
that Christ is not God the Father. That is a salvation
confession.
Col. 2:2 That their hearts might be
comforted, being knit together in love,
and unto all riches of
the full assurance of understanding,
to the acknowledgement
of the
mystery of God
and of the Father,
AND
of Christ;
OR:
Phil. 1:2 Grace to you, and peace
from God [Theos]
our Father,
AND
the Lord
[Kurios]Jesus Christ.
The MAN Jesus of
Nazareth was neither Lord Nor Christ much less God until God
the Father gave Him that role:
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house
of Israel know assuredly, t
hat God
hath made
that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
both Lord and Christ.
Col. 2:3 In whom are hid all the
treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Col. 2:4 And this I say, lest any
man should beguile you with enticing words.
Col. 2:5 For though I be absent in the
flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit,
joying and beholding
your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
Col. 2:6 As ye have therefore received
Christ Jesus the LORD, so walk ye in him:
Col. 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and
stablished in THE FAITH
as ye have been
taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
The Faith is The
Logos which is God's Regulative Principle which outlaws all
assembly roles for the elders to "Teach that which HAS been
taught." For that neither Jesus, nor Paul nor historic
scholars gives any funding.
Col. 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of
men, after the rudiments of the world, and
not after Christ.
Jesus did not
CREATE the heavens and earth which is the Kosmos, Ecumenical
or the kingdom of the Devil. He made or purchased and
potentially redeemed the whole world. Those OF Faith
or OF truth will only be found by those evangelists who go
with the invitation and not operate religious institutions
OF this. There is the Words of Christ left for our
example OR the words just fabricated by those Paul called
corrupters of the word meaning "selling learning at retail."
Col. 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness
of the Godhead bodily.
Godhead is
something that dwells in Jesus who came in the FLESH.
1. Notice that philosophy, vain
deceit, traditions of men, rudiments of the world
2. ARE IN CONTRAST TO
3. GODHEAD.
Begin with reading the text:
Col. 2:9 For IN him [Jesus] dwelleth
all the FULLNESS
of the Godhead
bodily.
It is to accuse Paul and inspiration of ignorance because
somethed DWELLED in the FLESH of the MAN
God was smart enough to have Paul say that in Jesus Christ GOD
livend in His FLESH body.
GODHEAD NEVER MEANS THE ONE GOD THE FATHER: FIRST LOOK AT SOME
BIBLE 101A TO PREVENT YOU FROM BLASPHEMING OR BEING AN ANTICHRIST.
ONE:
Christ's Enemies: John 10:33
The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee
not;
but for blasphemy;
and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
A Christian: John 10:36 Say
ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified,
and sent into the world,
Thou blasphemest;
because I said, I am the Son of God?
TWO:
1Tim. 2:5 For there is one God,
and one mediator between
God and men,
the MAN Christ
Jesus;
THREE:
God Said: Num. 23:19 God
is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of
man, that he should repent:
hath he said, and shall he
not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Jesus Said: John 6:53 Then
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except ye eat the FLESH
of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life
in you.
FOUR:
God is: John 4:24 God is
a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in
spirit and in truth.
Jesus is NOT: Luke 24:39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and
see;
for a spirit hath not
FLESH and bones, as ye
see me have.
FIVE:
1John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
and this is
that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it
should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2John 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world,
who confess not that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh.
This is a deceiver and
an antichrist.

Luc. Icar.9
As to Gods, I need hardly deal with that question. For
some of them God is a number; some swear by dogs and geese and
plane-trees 2. Some again banish all other Gods, and
attribute the control of the universe to a single one; I got
rather depressed on learning how small the supply of divinity
was. But I was comforted by the lavish souls who not only make
many, but classify; there was a First God, and second and
third classes of divinity. Yet again, some regard the divine
nature as unsubstantial and without form, while others
conceive it as a substance. Then they were not all disposed to
recognize a Providence; some relieve the Gods of all care,
-splendor
, lustre, splendor, honor, dignity,
excellence,
I. sheen, brightness, brilliance,
lustre, splendor. God is LIGHT with the same
meaning as WORD but neither are another god
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I
am the light of the world:
he that followeth me
shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of
life.
John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light
of the world.
John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in
the day?
If any man walk in
the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of
this world.
THE LATIN GODHEAD IN COLOSSIANS 2:9
Latin Divine: dīvus
a god, deity, divine
being
A Church of Christ of which Jesus is the Head is commanded
to "teach that which has been taught." It has no other
function.
Latin Godhead or Divine is:
dīvīnĭtas Divine quality,
divine nature, excellence; of the orator
Dīvīnus
I. of or belonging to a
deity, divine “divina
studia
colere
divina facta, i. e., religious exercise,
divine worship, sacrifice,
etc Divine ORIGIN.
2. The divine, that which comes from God,
nihil est divino divinius, Sen. Ep. 66, 11.—
3. That which is under the sanction of a god;
a. By divine inspiration, prophetically:
“plura
divine
praesensa
et praedicta
reperiri
Divine stŭdĭum
, I. a busying one's self about or application
to a thing; assiduity, zeal,
eagerness, fondness, inclination, desire,
exertion, endeavor, study: (b).
A place for study, a study, school
(late Lat.): “philosophum
(se
egit)
in
omnibus
studiis,
templis,
locis,”
Jesus was filled in a visible-audible sense with God's Word
or Logos. That is the Regulative Principle OPPOSITE of
personal experiences or comments, rhetoric, singing, playing
instruments or acting. The Sabbath never meant a day of
worship but REST: REST demands stopping everything so that you
can obey the command to teach that which is written for our
learning.
A Church filled with the Divine Nature is a school of the
prophets and apostles exclusively
Eph. 2:20 And are built upon [educated] the foundation of
the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ himself
being the chief corner stone;
Eph. 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons
of men,
as it is now revealed
unto his holy apostles
and prophets
by the Spirit;
[God breathed which is not a spirit person]
The Spirit OF God is the BREATH of God which inspirits or
inspired only the prophets and apostles. Once that has been
delivered to the saints God gave Evangelists to GO into all the
world and set up Ekklesia-Synagogues which are a SCHOOL of the
WORD and has no other role other than to SEND Evangelists.
The Godly Jews were forbidden to attend the assemblies of Levi
or enter into their covenant: they were quarantined to their
isolated areas and gathered or synagogued to hold a holy
convocation. That is the pattern which never changed. Both Jews
and Gentiles were wise unto salvation and most today are not
because the absolute command and examples of Jesus was:
Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time
hath in every city them
that PREACH him,
being READ in the
synagogues every sabbath day.
Eph. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles;
and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and
some, pastors and teachers;
2Pet. 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the WORDS
which were spoken before by the holy prophets,
and of the commandment
of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
g3415. mnaomai; middle voice of
a derivative of 3306 or perhaps of the base of 3145 (through
the idea of fixture in the mind or of mental grasp); to
bear in mind, i.e. recollect; by implication, to reward
or punish: — be mindful, remember, come (have) in remembrance.
Compare 3403.
g3403.mimnesko, a prolonged form of 3415 (from which
some of the tenses are borrowed); to remind, i.e. (middle
voice) to recall to mind: — be mindful, remember.
Everyone in the whole world can speak the same things if they obey
the pattern and "speak that which is written for our LEARNING" or
Scripture for our Comfort. Jesus acts as Paraklete (another
comforter) when His Words which ARE Spirit are read.
There is nothing any human can add which does not DESTROY the
purpose of hearing and remembering or memorizing the Word of God
BREATHED into the Prophets
Rev. 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven,
and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath
avenged you on her.
THE GODHEAD IN ROMANS 1:10
Rom. 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an
apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Rom. 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in
the holy scriptures,)
Rom. 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
which was made of
the seed of David according to the FLESH;
Rom. 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
according to the spirit
of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Rom. 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship,
for obedience to the
faith among all nations, for his name:
Rom. 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is
manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom. 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation
of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the
things that are made,
even his eternal power
and Godhead; so that they are without excuse
Jesus of Nazareth did not CREATE the heavens and earth or the
physical earth which was DESTROYED BY WATER.
Jesus did not CREATE the world opposed to the Church but He did
something to the World for which He refused to pray:

JESUS WAS NOT OF
THE WORLD AND THOSE WHO HEAR AND SPEAK HIS WORDS ARE NOT
OF THE WORLD.
Those who say that
Jesus IS GOD Who created the material universe is to claim
that he was incompetent:
2Pet. 3:5 For this they
willingly are ignorant of, that by the WORD of God the heavens
were of old,
and the earth standing
out of the water and in the water:
2Pet. 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being
overflowed with water, perished:
2Pet. 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now,
by the same WORD
are kept in store,
reserved
unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of
ungodly men
Jesus said that the
mark of the sons of the Devil is that they "speak on their
own."
Is. 58:12 And they that shall be
of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up
the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called,
The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Is. 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath
[PAUO in Greek],
from doing thy pleasure
on my holy day; and call the sabbath [rest not worship] a
delight,
the holy of the LORD,
honourable; and shalt honour him,
not doing thine own ways,
nor finding thine own pleasure,
nor speaking thine own words:
John 17:7 Now they have known that all
things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
John 17:8 For I have given unto them the WORDS which
thou gavest me;
and they have received
them, and have known surely that I came out from thee,
and they have believed
that thou didst send me.
John 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world,
but for them which
thou hast given me; for they are thine.
John 17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I
am glorified in them.

Thou art the Christ, the

for flesh and blood hath
not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Matt. 16:18 And I say also unto thee,
That thou art Peter, and
upon this rock I will build my church;

The Church of Christ is built upon the fact that Jesuus is the
SON of the always existing God.
If you say that Jesus the Son WAS one of the self-existing gods
then you cannot be in Christ's new WORLD

Pentecost. That World could not begin until Jesus took His
