The Facts are in Acts

and avoiding “another Jesus whom we have not preached”
WHICH JESUS did the Spirit-filled disciples actually preach?
It was "red pill" astonishing to realize the common words and phrases passed off as
“Christology” and doctrine were never preached to anyone in Acts.
If you will carefully read Acts' chapters with open heart and not the theological glasses of “orthodox”
Christianity, you too may conclude “I was
wrong”.
It was after Jesus ascended to the Father, and understanding that it is in ACTS we found where the open preaching of the gospel began, so we should search to see what the apostles told the people who Jesus is.
By that, we will use the overlooked key 🔑to knowing which Jesus they proclaimed.
(Most of us never thought of that approach. I believe God gave me that instruction what to look for in examining their words).
Whether speaking to devout Jews, rulers, non-Jews, pagans, Greeks,
Romans, or among themselves, they stated WHO Jesus is and did
so without saying the terms
and phrases people often use.
Not only is
the significance of Acts overlooked and ignored by most of the Christian church
world, but the very messages declared in it by the disciples of Jesus are
unrealized truths.
We read them with eyes and intellect but missed the plain truth of
“who
are you Lord?” right in front of us, in
their words.
The proof
of that is what Peter said about Jesus in Acts 2,3,4,5 and 10 is not what most affirm and endlessly
debate!
WHAT were the actual words spoken about Jesus as the gospel was preached?

About 200+ words
or phrases were applied to Jesus Christ by the preachers in Acts. Isn't that amazing? -but compare how the inventions of the church world say what no scripture writer ever said:
From man:
"dual nature",
"fully
God fully man",
the "second person of the trinity",
“ETERNAL
SON”,
"God the Son",
“triune” God,
“God robed in flesh”,
“God
incarnate”,
"God became a man”,
“deity
of Christ”,
“Divine Son”,
“God-man”,
"JESUS is truly God Almighty."
"JESUS is truly God Almighty."
“man God”,
"three distinct
persons"
"Three divine persons sharing the same nature”,
“preexisting
son”;
"trinity"
"hypostatic union"
God the Son".
"trinity"
"hypostatic union"
God the Son".
This is the FULL compilation of Acts scriptures, chapter by chapter, who they said WHO JESUS IS.
Does the
realization the apostles never preached these church-versions of Christ Jesus
fit the warning of “another Jesus”?
-Justify
as we may, those are words that have
been attached to Jesus not by God, but by man.
Maybe to you the un-eduated and spiritually discerned Jesus is a big fat nothing and not God. But I've read the book and though as man Jesus would not declare himself open as God and Father since he was fulfilling his role or mode or expression as the man Christ, I see others declared him as God, I see comparative verses showing he is in OT to NT. I see in Revelation be is shown as the Christ and Lord God Almighty. But 1 Cor 2:14 and Mt 13:11-17 clearly show you position.
ReplyDeleteI'll trust the words of Thomas in John 10:28 and Stephen in Acts 7:59 and Paul in Titus 2:13 and John from Jesus in Rev 1:7-8, and YHWH in Zech 12:10 and compared to Rev 1:7-8 and Isa 7:14 to Mt 1:23 and Jesus John 10:30 and John chapter 14.. I see in Mt.1:18 that in the Greek Jesus is ek out of the Holy Spirit , not from or of apo. Ek Greek proposal phrase means right out of the Spirit Jesus is not out of the Trinies 3rd or 1st person, but out of the Spirit of the Father by emanation proceeding from the HS itself. The Son is the Spirit incarnated. Maybe you are so unlearned to not know that.
sorry you do not discern as an educated reader which words were used by the apostles and the ones your cult substitute for theirs. RE-read those two lists again.
