humanity of christ

Humanity of Christ

The true humanity of Jesus Christ was denied even in the earliest ages of the Church. The Docetist Marcion and the Priscillianists grant to Jesus only an apparent body; the Valentinians, a body brought down fromHeaven. The followers of Apollinaris deny either that Jesus had any human soul at all, or that He possessed the higher part of the human soul, they maintain that the Word supplies either the whole soul in Christ, or at least its higher faculties. In more recent times it is not so much Christ's true humanity as His real manhood that is denied. According to Kant the Christian creed deals with the ideal, not with the historical Jesus; according to Jacobi, it worships Jesus not as an historical person, but as a religious ideal; according to Fichte there exists an absolute unity between God and man, and Jesus was the first to see and teach it; according to Schelling, the incarnation is an eternal fact, which happened to reach in Jesus its highest point, according toHegel, Christ is not the actual incarnation of God in Jesus of Nazareth but the symbol of God's incarnation inhumanity at large. Finally, certain recent Catholic writers distinguish between the Christ of history and the Christ of faith, thus destroying in the Christ of faith His historical reality.

PARABLES REVEAL

What the PARABLES REVEAL?

I will share ten of the approximately 60 parables that Jesus Christ used in His teaching. I will reveal the mystery of the parables through their proper interpolation. But first I need to define four groups of people – Unbelievers, Believers, Make Believers, and True Believers – which will reveal the eternal destination of any and all human beings around the world regardless as to their ethnicity, race, or supposed religious beliefs.

An “unbeliever” represents all sinners/humans around the world regardless of their ethnicity, race, or spiritual beliefs. (1) All people are born as sinners and our eternal destiny is eternal separation from the ONLY true, living, loving God (2) with our eternal residence in Hell. (3)

(1) Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives. (Romans 3:23) AMP

(2) But the Lord is the true God and the God of truth (the God Who is Truth). He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, and the nations are not able to bear His indignation. (Jeremiah 10:10) AMP

(2a) He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. (1 John 4:8) AMP

(3) And they shall go forth and gaze upon the dead bodies of the [rebellious] men who have stepped over against Me{God}; for their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all mankind. (Isaiah 66:24) AMP

(3a) And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be afraid of Him {God} who can destroy both soul and body in hell (Gehenna). (Matthew 10:28) AMP

A “Believer” is a sinner who has just accepted the bountiful free gift of Jesus Christ as their personal Savior according to the process of justification and is a new spiritual creation, (4) but he/she MUST seek further teachings from the Bible and the guidance/ Counsel from God the Holy Spirit and the multitude of counselors from within the Bride Church (5) to immediately start the process of sanctification which allows God to set them apart according to His Word in His foreknown and predestined plans/ministry for them. (6)

(4) For the wages which sin pays is death, but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) AMP

(4a) Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! (2 Corinthians 5:17) AMP

(5) Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word {Bible} is Truth. (John 17:17)
