so in your "preaching", we should only believe God? = assumption mo lang yan,
Then why the heck are you and every evangelist "preaching"? Dios ba kayo? = this question came out because of your assumption above ^
Mas delikado yata "teaching" mo. Alanganin? Anong alanganin jan? So what if Jesus was human or not? Does that save you?
= the divinity of Jesus can enlighten anyone to make him believe , to have faith and follow Christ. It’s a crucial factor para maniwala ang tao sa teachings. At kung hindi ito maipapaliwanag, baka hindi mag-patuloy nang pag-susuri ang isang tao - ikapamahak pa niya. So malaki kinalaman nito sa kaligtasan.
And regarding whether Jesus is God or not, he AINT God. He said it specifically.
"And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape." John 5:37. The Jews were there, and yet Jesus said that they had never seen his Father's shape or heard his voice. Well?
=Sinabi talaga ni Jesus yan, ang katunayan nasa itaas lang ng verse mo:
Joh 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
Joh 5:32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
=hindi naman kasi si Jesus ang magpapatotoo ng pagka-Dios niya eh. Ang mission ni Kristo, ipakilala ang Ama. Yung Ama naman ipinakilala yung Anak niya.
Eh anong sabi nung Ama sa Anak?
Heb 1:8 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.
=sabi nung Ama yung anak niya Dios din eh.
Eh ano sabi nung mga alagad tungkol kay Kristo?
2Pe 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
Eto pa sabi ng alagad:
Tit 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." Matt. 28:19.
See the word GIVEN? If he were God, why did his POWER have to be Given?
=Joh 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
=binigay pala talaga sa kanya yung kapangyarihan eh, bago pa gawin lahat ng bagay magkasama na sila ng Ama. Kaya importante na malaman ang divinity. Walang TAO kailanman ang nakakita sa Dios. You have to know kung saan nagsimula si Jesus. Sadly for you, trivial lang ito.
God means someone who has NO EQUAL nor IS ANYONE SUPERIOR TO HIM.
=Joh 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
=Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Your theory is just "Believe that Jesus is God". Then what? What comes after that? Dead end nlng na?
=Believing that Jesus is God is not a theory. It is a biblical fact which is trivial for you. An I never stated that all you have to do is to believe. You have to follow his teachings, but do not ever say his teachings are more important that his divinity.
