LESSON SIX.... If God is that which possesses all the power and all the authority, there can only be one God. If more than one entity, for want of a better word, exists that possesses such power and authority, they must all exist in absolute unity, such unity that they must necessarily be one being with one will. This is all to explain what a true God is. It is that which cannot be opposed, that which is superior to absolutely everything without exception. If that is the case, try to imagine what it meant for Peter to look at a man that they knew functioned almost completely like every other man and call him God. Do you get the enormity of his statement yet? 1 Like 1 Share |

LESSON SEVEN.... It is important to remember that God is a kind of being. It is not a personal name anymore than "human" is. So when someone is refered to as son of God, try to imagine what it means to call someone son of human or man too in order to make sense of that. What does it mean to say that someone is a son of man? That phrase is used quite a few times in the Bible. Most notably it is used in the book of Ezekiel and was used to address Ezekiel himself there. It is found also in the book of Job, in Numbers and in the book of Daniel too. In all of these places, the sense one gets is "one of humanity". "Son of Man" means a member of the human race or, simply put, "man". Thus, "Son of God" is that which is deity. It isn't a term speaking so much of progeny as it is one speaking of kind. I think you will find it interesting that throughout the Gospels Jesus refered to Himself both as Son of Man and Son of God. Now, you see that what Peter did was call a man God, do you? And that was what Christ said He would establish His Church on. "Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." The rock. Is it really Peter's grand claim about Jesus of Nazareth? |
Re: The Christian Chatbox ( sticky) by ihedinobi2: 7:24am On Oct 14, 2014 |
LESSON EIGHT.... Jesus said to Simon, you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Peter means "stone" or "rock". Did Jesus mean that He was going to found His eternal Church on the man called Simon whom He surnamed Peter? Considering that He said to the same man later on that He would give him the keys of heaven and the power to forgive or retain sin, it would seem so, would it not? But consider that Paul speaking by the Holy Spirit (all Scripture is God-breathed, say the Scriptures) said that no other foundation can any man lay other than that which is laid, that is Jesus Christ. So, is Jesus the Christ, Son of the Living God the foundation of the Church? Or is Peter? Is Peter PART of the Church? Or is he the HEAD of the Church? Is Jesus the Christ PART of the Church? Or is He the HEAD of the Church? Think about these questions for a bit. |

Hmm ihe...I dey follow. That verse involving Peter is the bedrock of some churches. I'll love to see how you proceed. I'm confused on the matter myself. Thank you for your time and effort so far. |

LESSON NINE..... What does Peter himself say? See 1 Peter 2:4-7. What does that part of his letter say to you? Does it suggest that Peter thought that he himself was the chief corner stone, the stone that God laid up in Zion? Or did it sound like he spoke of somebody else? Note that Peter refered to Christians as "lively (or life-filled, or living) stones" in that Scripture. Does that help explain why Jesus called him Peter or Cephas? Was Jesus essentially naming Peter not THE rock but A rock, like Himself? Was He essentially naming Peter ONE of HIS own rather than THE HEAD of His own? There is no question that it is significant that Jesus called Simon "rock". But judging by Peter's own words, the significance is not that Peter himself is the foundation of the Church. We will discover the significance in a little while. We have two witnesses now to the fact that Peter was not the foundation that Jesus refered to and one of them from Peter himself. The rock upon which Jesus would build His Church was Jesus Himself. The Church, the assembly of called-out ones who can claim God for their parentage is established on Jesus Christ Himself. One reason this matters is that no building is more durable than its foundation. The quality and the character of a foundation determines the integrity of the structure built upon it. Would the Church have much hope if it was built upon fallible man? Or would it truly outlast every challenge that all the powers of Hell can throw at her because it is founded upon something far more sturdy than a man, a devoted man maybe but still just a man? Take some time to meditate on this. Tomorrow we will end this module about what Christians believe that nobody else does. |
