Have you ever read Heb. one?  You need to study this chapter.  Now Thomas had received a revelation from the Father just as Peter received a revelation from the Father.  Jesus told Peter flesh and blood [which he was] did not reveal this to you, but my Father which is in Heaven.

Do you really think Jesus was calling himself , My Father?  My --shows possession does it not?  Is Jesus saying I am my own Father?  My self is my Father?  Foolishness.

Jesus had asked Peter, who do you say that I am.  What did Peter answer?  Do you know?  Any of you?

Did Peter say, you are God?  Nope.  Why not, if this is the true foundation for our belief?  Peter said you are the Son of God.  Jesus verified that this was a true revelation from His Father.

Now, Thomas has received a revelation from the Father concerning the fact that AFTER THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS INTO LIFE ETERNAL, IMMORTAL LIFE, NEW BIRTH LIFE, NOW GOD THE FATHER [ A SPIRIT] REWARDS JESUS FOR HIS PERFECT OBEDIENCE TO GOD, AND HIS DEATH AND GOING INTO HELL FIRE TO PAY THE PRICE FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD........

GOD THE ONLY GOD, THE FATHER ....OF...OUR LORD JESUS, sets Jesus up on the throne of God, to be worshipped as God with God.  Ever hear this?

Read Heb. 1:

<NOBR>Heb 1:1</NOBR>	God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
<NOBR>Heb 1:2</NOBR>	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;

God spoke by His Son.  God appointed His Son heir of all things......

<NOBR>Heb 1:4</NOBR>	Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
<NOBR>Heb 1:5</NOBR>	For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
<NOBR>Heb 1:6</NOBR>	And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
<NOBR>Heb 1:7</NOBR>	And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
<NOBR>Heb 1:8</NOBR>	But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
<NOBR>Heb 1:9</NOBR>	Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

This says that God made Jesus much higher than angels.  Before his death he was lower than the angels....for the suffering of death.

Now v.8--this is where it was fulfilled what Jesus said,  ALL POWER IS GIVEN TO ME.  ......given to me.......given by whom?  why was it given to him?  If he already were God, why and who gave this power to him?  Now you do believe what Jesus said, don't you?

Jesus said,  ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND EARTH.....IS.......GIVEN.......TO ME.  By whom?

By God.  By His God.  By His Father.  Do you believe that Jesus has a God?  If not, you must call lots of Scriptures a lie.  IT MENTIONS THE GOD AND FATHER OF JESUS IN LOTS OF PLACES.

Jesus called him,  My God, My God on that cross.  Who was he speaking to ?

Now go back and read where God told the angels of God to worship his Son.  He told us to worship Jesus now as God.  So that is the revelation Thomas received........that now........after his glorification into the image of God......Jesus has been raised up to be God with the God kingdom.......God set Jesus up as God and told us to worship and honour HIS SON EVEN AS WE HONOUR AND WORSHIP HIM.

That is how and why Isa. 9:6 declares that the only begotten Son, which is the RESURRECTED CHIRST, is our  everlasting Father.  This will never end.  Jesus is our Father.........but God is Jesus' Father.

Jo

Jesus had two natures??????   Where is even one verse stating this lie?  Are you not afraid to add to the Word of God this way?  Do you not know that God will take your part out of the Book of life and add the plagues of His Word to you if you change his word this way?

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God.  This kind of stuff makes God angry.

Jesus only performed miracles by FAITH IN GOD.  Not that he was God.  If so, then how is he our pattern son?  How are we placed on the same level as He?  When he told his disciples you will do all I have done and greater, how is this fulfilled if one must be God, with a dual nature to work these great works?

If Peter raised the Dead same as Jesus, did this mean peter had that dual nature?  If not, then how was he doing just as Jesus did?  Think about this.

How can we lay hands on the sick and they recover if one must be God and have a dual nature to do so?  If Jesus said we shall do as he did, then how can we do it, if Jesus did it as being God?  See?  If JEsus did it as God, then we cannot do as He did.  If so then we must also be God............see where this false teaching leads.

And that was its purpose,,........to fulfill the desire of satan to be God.  Make man be God.........Adam is Satan.......Adam wanted to be God.  Was that not what he was tempted with?? God doth know that we shall be as gods?  Ever read that.........is that what you all desire ??????? to be as gods?  Sure seems so.

Jesus was a man.  The Word always declares Jesus was and still is a man.  Where does it say Jesus was and still is God?  Where does it say that?

It says Jesus  is the man who mediates between God and us.  the MAN Christ Jesus.........did not say ...the God, Christ Jesus.  Now did it?

Jesus   raised the dead by FAITH IN GOD.  Else he was not our pattern.  Else he is not our kinsman redeemer.  God is not a kinsman to us........only another human being is our kinsman.

You do away with the entire purpose and glory of Jesus when you declare him to be God.
