PROPOSITION 5.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ Is Not A Third Part Of A Triune God, But The Son Of God By Begettal Of The Holy Spirit, and Son of Man By Birth

Son of God

Luke 1:35 The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power o/the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also that holy thing that shall be born of thee shall be called THE SON of GOD.

Matt. 3:17 This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased

John 3:35 The Father loveth the Son,, and hath given all things into his hand.

SON OF MAN

Acts 2:22 Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles.

I Tim. 2:5 One mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Gal 4:4 God sent forth his Son, made of a woman.

I Cor. 15:21 By man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

Rom. 5:15 The gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Jesus was not God, very God, as the creed of the religious world claims; for He Himself disavows any such claim. How could God be tempted like as we are? How could God die and be buried? Do not allow yourself to be deceived by the sophistry that it was His humanity that was tempted died and was buried, as if He Himself was not; for that would be admitting that He escaped temptation and death and that the "Christ" of popular religion did not die--could not die, being immortal; that only His body--not He--died. The Bible says Christ died, Christ was buried, etc.; and what is the use of perverting such language to suit a religion that is far astray from the Bible? Instead of Christ’s being "co-equal and co-eternal with God," "God very God," He

Was of Man's Nature and Depended Upon God

Heb. 2:17; 4:15 In all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren. * * *' He was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing.

John 14:28 I go unto the Father, for my Father is greater than I

Heb. 5:7, 8 He was heard in that he feared; though he were a son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.
