Jesus is greater than Adam? Yep. His death and resurrection overcome all the effects of Adam's sin. Adam's sin brought death to all mankind; Jesus' work causes all to have immortal life. Romans 5:18 - "Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men" (ESV). 1 Corinthians 15:22 - "For even as, in Adam, all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified" (Concordant Literal New Testament). Believe it!

@TheBiggestJesus If I may suggest, would you mind doing a video or a presentation on Revelation 7:9-10?
ReplyDeleteFor example, in Revelation 7:19, there is only one singular figure who is explicitly acknowledged, described and identified by the Great Crowd as being “their God.”
The text reads:
“Salvation belongs to our God WHO IS SEATED ON THE THRONE and(a distinction), to the Lamb.” -Revelation 7:10
Here, a clear distinction is made between the Great Crowd's identified "God" and the Lamb(who is described as an immortal deity after his resurrection). This of course indicates that the Great Crowd's Christian God is only ONE singular individual, separate and distinct from the Lamb, who is honored and praised alongside their God, but not conflated with him. This distinction implicitly refutes the Trinitarian concept of co-equal persons within a single essence, instead affirming the monotheistic principle of one personal God — Jehovah or God the Father. -1 Corinthians 8:6
“There is to us(Christians), One God, the Father.” -1 Corinthians 8:6
“The hour is coming and it is now, when the true worshippers(true Christians) will worship THE FATHER with spirit and truth.” - stated by Jesus in John 4:23.
Furthermore, as noted above, the Lamb who is mentioned in Revelation 7:10 and 7:17 is the same Lamb described in Revelation 5:6 — namely Jesus Christ, in his exalted, glorified and post-resurrection state. It is also the same glorified Lamb described in Revelation 3:1, 2:1, and 1:16, as the one who holds “the seven stars” in his right hand - “the Word of God and King of kings” mentioned in Revelation 19:12-13.
Moreover, this same glorious and immortal god-like entity speaks again in Revelation 3:2, 12 and declares that he, himself, has a God of his own - his Father, the same exact God of the 144,000 and of the Great Crowd.
Of course, this only further proves that Jesus is NOT a part of the "Eternal God Club," but of the Creature Club!
Hello, Mellow077. Thank you for your comment.
ReplyDeleteYou make some good points.
What is it about Rev 7:9-10 that you would like to see addressed?
Yes, if we don't come to the Scriptures with trinity-glasses on, we can easily see the vast distinctions between the Father and the Son, Who are far from coequal. No trinity.
I am currently working on a video on 1 Cor 8:6, what I call my "God Creed."
Keep enjoying His amazing grace!
