Some More Basic Theology

Now this one Being who possesses all these attributes is Personal. But He is not simply Personal; He is Tri-Personal. Within the nature of this One all powerful Being are three distinct Persons: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Bible teaches that God is a Triune Being.

The second Person within the Being of God entered time and space. God the Son became a Man. Jesus, God the Son, possesses from all eternity the nature of God. He is equal to the Father in power, knowledge, self-existence, and holiness. In every way the Son is equal to the Father.

(Colossians 1:15 NKJV) “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation”

God the Son is by nature spirit, and therefore, without physical form. He is not limited by time and space. He is eternally the WORD of God. He never ceased to be everything that the Father is. But in the course of human history - at a particular place and time - He assumed a second nature. He became a Man. He did not become half Man and half God. He never lost a single attribute of Deity. While He never ceased to be 100% God, He became a real Man. He became a Man in every sense, only without sin.

From eternity He was one Person with one nature. At a particular moment in history He became one Person with two natures. He is the God-Man. He is not a mixture of the divine and the human. He is 100% God and 100% Man. He is the WORD become flesh.

Now tell me, doth this offend you?
