Which of the following statements about Jesus as Risen Lord are true:?
468987
Let's see, \n1.Not true because he could walk through walls and stuff like that--and his clothes were shiny.\n2.True because although he was God in the flesh and could eat, he wasn't able to be everywhere at once like God is.\n3.True because he offered it to Peter who betrayed him.\n4.True because even those who do not call him Lord will one day confess that he IS LORD.\n5 True, his blood, having been shed, his victory over death now offers forgiveness and eternal life through relationship with him.\n6 False, he returned to heaven but he sent the Holy Spirit who could be in the heart of every believer and convict the world of sin, so he didn't forget about his followers then or now.

Jesus' keynote teaching is known as the Sermon on the Mount. Inherent to the Sermon on the Mount is an undeniable assertion, in Jesus' own words as related in more than one of the Gospels in each case, of the relativity of our personal capacities for spiritual expression and progress.\n\n\nThe Sermon on the Mount can be regarded as tripartite\n\nAn invocation towards leading a spiritually centred life\n\nAn encouragement of mild forbearance\n\nA litany against materialistic worldliness\n\nAn invocation towards leading\na spiritually centred life\n  And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:\n  And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,\n  Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\n  Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.\n  Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.\n  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.\n  Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.\n  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.\n  Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.\n  Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\n  Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.\n  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.\n  Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.\n  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.\n  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.\n  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.\n  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.\n  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.\n  "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. \nJesus Matthew 5: 1- 19\n  \nAn encouragement of mild forbearance\n  Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:\n  But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.\n  And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.\n  And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.\n  Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not away.\n  Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.\n  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you;\n  That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust\n  For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans do the same?\n  And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?\n  Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. \nJesus Matthew 5: 38- 48\n  \nA litany against materialistic worldliness\n  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold

Is Jesus Christ actually God?\n\nJohn 17:3, RS: “[Jesus prayed to his Father:] This is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God [“who alone art truly God,” NE], and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.” (Notice that Jesus referred not to himself but to his Father in heaven as “the only true God.”)\n\nJohn 20:17, RS: “Jesus said to her [Mary Magdalene], ‘Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” (So to the resurrected Jesus, the Father was God, just as the Father was God to Mary Magdalene. Interestingly, not once in Scripture do we find the Father addressing the Son as “my God.”)\n\nDoes John 1:1 prove that Jesus is God?\n\nJohn 1:1, RS: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God [also KJ, JB, Dy, Kx, NAB].” NE reads “what God was, the Word was.” Mo says “the Logos was divine.” AT and Sd tell us “the Word was divine.” The interlinear rendering of ED is “a god was the Word.” NW reads “the Word was a god”; NTIV uses the same wording.\n\nWhat is it that these translators are seeing in the Greek text that moves some of them to refrain from saying “the Word was God”? The definite article (the) appears before the first occurrence of the·os´ (God) but not before the second. The articular (when the article appears) construction of the noun points to an identity, a personality, whereas a singular anarthrous (without the article) predicate noun before the verb (as the sentence is constructed in Greek) points to a quality about someone. So the text is not saying that the Word (Jesus) was the same as the God with whom he was but, rather, that the Word was godlike, divine, a god. (See 1984 Reference edition of NW, p. 1579.)\n\nWhat did the apostle John mean when he wrote John 1:1? Did he mean that Jesus is himself God or perhaps that Jesus is one God with the Father? In the same chapter, verse 18, John wrote: “No one [“no man,” KJ, Dy] has ever seen God; the only Son [“the only-begotten god,” NW], who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.” (RS) Had any human seen Jesus Christ, the Son? Of course! So, then, was John saying that Jesus was God? Obviously not. Toward the end of his Gospel, John summarized matters, saying: “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, [not God, but] the Son of God.”—John 20:31, RS.\n\nDoes Thomas’ exclamation at John 20:28 prove that Jesus is truly God?\n\nJohn 20:28 (RS) reads: “Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’”\n\nThere is no objection to referring to Jesus as “God,” if this is what Thomas had in mind. Such would be in harmony with Jesus’ own quotation from the Psalms in which powerful men, judges, were addressed as “gods.” (John 10:34, 35, RS; Ps. 82:1-6) Of course, Christ occupies a position far higher than such men. Because of the uniqueness of his position in relation to Jehovah, at John 1:18 (NW) Jesus is referred to as “the only-begotten god.” (See also Ro, By.) Isaiah 9:6 (RS) also prophetically describes Jesus as “Mighty God,” but not as the Almighty God. All of this is in harmony with Jesus’ being described as “a god,” or “divine,” at John 1:1 (NW, AT).\n\nThe context helps us to draw the right conclusion from this. Shortly before Jesus’ death, Thomas had heard Jesus’ prayer in which he addressed his Father as “the only true God.” (John 17:3, RS) After Jesus’ resurrection Jesus had sent a message to his apostles, including Thomas, in which he had said: “I am ascending . . . to my God and your God.” (John 20:17, RS) After recording what Thomas said when he actually saw and touched the resurrected Christ, the apostle John stated: “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.” (Jo

Matthew 28:5-7 reads, "The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.  Then go quickly and tell his disciples , He has RISEN FROM THE DEAD, and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you too".\n\nLuke 24:45-49, reads, Then He, (Jesus), openend their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.  He told them "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and RISE FROM THE DEAD on the third day, and repentence and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem". - Here, Jesus reinstates it was he who was crucified. \n\nIf anyone also wants to read more about Christ's crucifixion and death & his ressurection, read the book "The Case for Christ", chapter 11.  You'll understand that Jesus died on the cross after you read Lee Strobel interview with Alexander Metherell, M.D.,PH.D.  Metherell uses his expertise as a physician to describe in vivid detail just what Christ went through, and how He died on the cross.  He leaves anyone reading his account convinced that Jesus did die on the cross and wasn't just swooned or faint from what he went through.

Jesus destroys Satan inthe crucifixion in the sense that Jesus removed the one thing Satan had over us, namely, the guilt and shame of sin and its penalty of eternal death. \n\nIn His resurrection, Jesus rises to new life. All who identify with Jesus shall also rise to new life. Jesus says in John 11:25-26, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”\n\nSatan has no hold over us. "If God is for us, who is against us?" (Rom. 8:31) That's the good news of Jesus for EVERYONE, yes, EVERYONE. Of course, one has the choice to reject it if they so choose and not acknowledge Jesus.

Affirmations\n\nThe Bible is inspired and the word of God. \nTrinitarian: The Father, Son, Holy Spirit are all one God in three persons. \nJesus is God and has always existed with the Father. \nThe Holy Spirit is a person. \nJesus' sacrifice was vicarious. \nSalvation is by grace, not works. \nJesus rose from the dead physically in his glorified body. \nJesus ascended bodily into heaven. \nBaptism is by immersion \nThe literal, visible return of Jesus. \nJesus will return to set up a millennial kingdom.  They are Premillennial. \nLiteral six day creation, not long periods. \n\n\nDenials\n\nDenies the doctrine of predestination \nDenies baptism by sprinkling \nDenies infant baptism. \nDenies the immortality of the soul. \nDenies the eternality of hell fire. \nDenies any use of alcohol (as a drink) or tobacco. \n\n\nAberrant\n\nOur sins will ultimately be placed on Satan - The Great Controversy, p. 422, 485. \nJesus is Michael the Archangel. \nWorship must be done on Saturday (the Sabbath). \nOn October 22, 1844 Jesus entered the second and last phase of his atoning work. \nInvestigative Judgment - the fate of all people will be decided based upon this event in the future. \nThe dead do not exist anymore -- soul sleep. \nThe wicked are annihilated. \nEllen G. White, the "founder" of Seventh Day Adventism, was a messenger from God gifted with the spirit of prophecy. \nThere is a sanctuary in heaven where Jesus carries out his mediatorial work.

When Jesus was on earth He came as a man as the Son of God.  He was flesh and therefore identified himself as a human in order to show the holiness of God His Father.

Stansky is pretty much right. Isa is not Jesus and Islamic mentions of Jesus are not the true Jesus of the Bible. Islam says there is a Jesus but they do not believe He is the Son of God so theire teachings about Him are false. The true Jesus the Son of God whom the Bible teaches about will return to Zion which is an Old Testament name for Jerusalem. He will return at the end of the tribulation and set foot on the Mount of Olives which is in Jerusalem (Zion)When Jesus returns He will set up His kingdom on earth and will reign. After a thousand years satan will lead a final rebellion which God will crush and then the day of judgment will come and Jesus will judge.

I believe Jesus is the son of God. He is a part of the God head, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Easter has nothing to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is pagan sun worship. Read Ezek 8:16 this is talking about Easter Sun worship! God calls it an abomination. Jesus didn't resurrect on Easter Sunday Morning. I challenge anyone to prove it to me! When you email me make sure I can email you back if your not afraid of the truth! \n  Passover: read Revelation 13:8. The passover is a memorial of the death of Jesus Christ who died for our sins. Easter is Satans counterfeit. Read Matthew 26:26-28. Jesus gave Christians new symbols for the passover the bread and the wine. Read 1St Corinthians 11:23-26 Jesus was killed on the passover. Why is it that Christians want to keep Easter which is not commanded in all the bible, but don't take much thought in what Jesus said to do to remember Him, a memorial of His death. The Passover.

Real.\n\nScripture:  Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you" (John 6:53).\n\nTradition:  "In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained" - the Catechism of the Catholic Church\n\nReason - It's certainly what St. Paul and the Early Church believed:  "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body."  Saint Paul - 1 Corinthians 11:29\n\nBesides all of that - Jesus was pretty clear when he said:\n\n"Hoc est enim corpus meum"\n\n"THIS IS MY BODY"

Having grown up in Pentecostal churches I can say that it is a doctrinal statement and NOT a scripture. It is derived from reading of the experiences of the early church and evangelistic successes. The true evidence of having received the Holy Spirt are the fruit as others have mentioned. Certainly we would expect "Holiness" right? And of course Jesus made it an absolute requirement for His disciples.\nWhy? \nI have been working on this for years... I believe we are to wait corporately for a revelation of Jesus as "glorified King". This is what we are to be witnesses of. It was this revelation that transformed common men into "uncommon" men. This is when they really changed. After that event they were unstoppable and filled with power. They were effective and walked in wisdom. I think this is our mandate also. What do you think about my suggestion?

When Jesus was asked this question, he said, "Hear O Israel: The Lord your God is One. Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind." That's a paraphrase, since I don't think I have it memorized by heart. Then Jesus said, "And the second is like it: Love thy neighbor as thyself. All the law hangs on these."\n\nEDIT: Whoops. Actually, Jesus was asked what the "greatest commadment" was, not the "most important".

The only true king is Jesus Christ and he came as a servant to all so what does that say about a man that is supposed to lead so many christians and yet lives like royalty... this quote might help...\n\nLuk 20:46  Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;Luk 20:47  Which devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

Jesus was not only "divine" but was ans is Deity Incarnate.\n\nMany have claimed that they are Christ, or that they are "god".\n\nJesus died (delivered for our offences) and was raised the third day (for our justification) and He, though dead, now is Alive forevermore.\n\nAfter His Resurrection, "he showed himself alive by many infallible proofs".\n\nWhile He as on earth, as the Bible records, "and many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, the which are not written in this book, but these are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God ... and that by believing you may have Life in His name."
