Should be simple.  Good luck. Micheal has never been able to answer that so I am waiting? |
I don't believe that God created a permanent form of some kind in eternity.
What I'm saying is that the WORD of God is the visible form of the invisible God.
This visible form of God is the EXPRESS IMAGE of God. This visible form of God is what appeared to men of old (example: Adam)
The WORD is what became flesh. So there's no question as to what happened to the body at the incarnation.
Col 1
13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the
kingdom of his dear Son:
14
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And
he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Heb 1
1
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 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;
3
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
1 John 4:12
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
1 Tim 6
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of
our Lord Jesus Christ
15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
No man has seen the invisible God at any time. We've only seen him in his express self-revelation to us.
This is NOT Arianism.
I believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God is the Almighty God himself.
I'm pretty sure Arians do NOT believe that.
