Today, points are shared on the two forms of Jesus Christ in the heaven and upon the cross. Where the Apostle John (called the Revelator) details the figure of Christ, he does not seem to describe the same person he saw upon the earth. Similarly, when Satan challenged Christ in the mount of temptation, the Adversary did not appear to recognize him as the same one who had authority in the heaven. For Christian believers, Jesus Christ is to be understood as a visible appearance of the Word using flesh as well as the perfected image of GOD that should appear in mankind. Those who are born again are enabled by the Holy Spirit to discern a oneness of purpose, relationship, and divine substance without also having to see sameness (i.e., without a display of divine form as breath, life essence, and spirit). The heavenly glory of Christ has been witnessed upon the earth through his transfiguration, resurrection, and ascension. The fighter at “Yahoo!

If Jesus is God at JOHN 20:28, then who is God when Jesus is dying ?
Why, while hanging on the death instrument, did Jesus Christ cry out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
At Mark 15:34, Jesus' final recorded words were: '"Eìli, Eìli, laìma saqbachqthaìni?" which means, when translated: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: (Colossians 1: 12-22, King James Version, KJV)
THE DOUBLE DAGGER: The Transfiguration of Christ (11/14/2016); Anointed, Consecrated and Installed (08/04/2016); The Only Physical Being in Heaven? (06/17/2015); Why Was A Son Sent? (11/10/2013); Promise of A Spirit? (11/11/2013); The Ascension of Christ? (12/19/2012); GOD in Schools? (12/20/2012)
“BOLOBOLO”, there are many points of sacred knowledge that must be examined to correctly understand the dual nature of Jesus Christ as flesh and spirit, as Son of Man and Son of GOD. Upon the earth, the Savior, who was called the Word in heaven, was in a material form—that of a human being. The Lord was mortal (i.e., a living creature who would only endure for a measured period), and was required to operate using only carnal, secular, and social processes to demonstrate to believers in his name what we may accomplish as the sons of GOD in the earth. Thus, at no time was Jesus in a different relationship with the Father, or with the Holy Spirit. In addition to inseparable spirit content from the makeup of Deity (e.g., faith, forbearance, forgiveness, holiness, joy, longsuffering, wisdom, wrath against sin), aspects of divinity have been displayed and revealed through the ministry of Jesus that we speak of as immortality, immutability, permanence, and a sovereign will that is not subject to influence and manipulation. These features have further set Jesus apart as incorruptible, preeminent, unique, and divine. Christ was unwavering and pursued a path detailed through the holy writings that would address and fulfill divine law, official proclamations, sacred promises, and eternal purposes. Consider again the following:
(1.) Hebrews 1: 1-4, King James Version (KJV): 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
(2.) Galatians 4: 4-7, KJV: 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
(3.) John 1: 1-5, KJV: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (4.) Romans 8: 5-9, KJV: 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
