How did you realize that? Did you just feel like this was the case?

Jesus Christ's divinity is clear in the Gospel of Matthew. He is Emmanuel.

>>16454779
I'm asking you why you think it is clear. Do you have an argument, or do you just feel this is the case?

Heresy. You're not a Christian.

Well it's certain in scripture He is God. At one point Jesus' disciples ask Jesus to show them the Father and Jesus says something to the effect of, "who else do you think has been with you this entire time?"

It is certain because Jesus said he is God? Why do you trust those words? That's what i'm asking

If Jesus really did all those miracles and said He had the authority of God and was God among men, I would believe, Him. Look at his genealogy.

>>16454931
Personally, I don't see why I should believe in his miracles (especially considering how many people claimed to have produced miracles in history).
His genealogy is to be taken at face value for thr most part, we have no actual family tree for Joseph and Mary, we just know what the Apostles told us in the Gospels.

We don't believe the Father ever incarnated, the Son (Second person of the trinity) is the one who incarnates and acts as our mediator and savior.

Thank you for the resource.

That Jesus Christ was wholly human and wholly divine, and that - whilst being as much - he suffered and died on the cross - is essential to salvation.
So by saying
>Jesus Christ... was the human embodiment OF the Father
you are saying that the Father suffered on the cross. This is patripassianism, a theological position that has been known since the 3rd century, and has been denounced as heresy since no later than the 4th century.

Patripassianism/Sabellianism is a heresy, OP. Take a step back and chill.

That’s kidnapping, not slavery, dummy
