This is the kind of "Jewish" argument you're forced to use. No one has ever suggested that "a created man" is the God the Creator. We allow that the Word created, and we know what, historically, you must deny, that the Word was made flesh...and we watch it happen in the testimony of Luke. Light became Man, and as he walked the earth, he obeyed the laws of nature and the faith of God established for all time through Abraham.Ok. An assumption with zero evidence that a created man is the God, the Creator. In fact it's a contradiction.
Jesus proved Who He was. Never the contrary. What I stated was a choice Jesus made, and acknowledged He had. He had all authority, both of Adam and of the Father. That was the gist of his final statement in Matthew 28. "All authority...in HEAVEN AND on earth." Kind of undoes your claim: He stated the authority He wielded.Jesus never said he was God, but the contrary. Your comment above regarding calling the legions of angels was the Father providing that, not he himself. Quite a difference.
That's nonsense. Look it up. When God alone walked between the carcasses there were two, not one that passed between. Abraham was represented by proxy. You should know this better than I. Two suzerains must walk between, for the curse to be held valid, and when they walk, they claim the curse of the slaughter they walk between, if they do not uphold their side of the vow. God had vowed the land from the Euphrates to the Nile...and He could not uphold His end, while Israel remained unfaithful...Jesus had to redeem all of Israel for the land to be yours. And in that curse, the promise was extended.Again, you mention things that have nothing to do with Jesus.
You missed something that is hidden in plain sight.
Look at the Lamb. It stands in proxy, and it's blood is shed.And yet Deuteronomy 32:6 says God has no sin so He doesn't take on sin, curses as you say.
See above.Explain.
Since I'm offering a viable understanding...there is another and a better one. Pino means drink. He did not drink. He thirsted.There's no other understanding for it. One takes possession of a drink in the mouth.
Jesus said, "I thirst." That looks like a statement. Where did He ask for a drink?Of course not. But Jesus didn't make a request for water, as he wasn't knowledgeable of all things as God is.
This is ping pong. Pino is drink.He drank it. He couldn't take it by hand.
