Proof That Jesus Was Not An Angel Sent By God

Forasmuch then as the children are

partakers of flesh and blood, He 

also took part of the same; that

through death He might destroy

Him that had the power of death,

that is, the devil; and deliver 

them who through fear of death

were all their lifetime subject 

to bondage. For He took not on 

Him the nature of angels; but He

took on Him the seed of Abraham.

Hebrews 2:14-16

     The superiority of Jesus Christ is well illuminated and His purpose for coming to earth and take on the nature of man is well stated so that we have no reason to doubt that Jesus is God and by means of the hypostatic union is also man: God/Man. This is a mystery to us that God could do such a thing, but is not the mystery of creation outside of our thinking and understanding? God is a different being than us or anything else created in the universe. God must stand outside all that exist, that includes time and energy. God must be the source of all that exists and that source was not lowered by the coming of Jesus to the earth. Jesus did not take on the nature of angels, how could He and to say that it could be possible is to say that Jesus was not and angel. Some who claim to be Christian say that He was God: i.e., Mormons who will admit that Jesus Christ is an eternal being and that He was God, but not God the Father admit also that Jesus Christ created the worlds and all that is in the world. This false teaching that disregards the Trinity as will established by the Bible also then teaches that man is eternal and have existed as individuals "intelligences" and that God the Father created us spiritually, before we came to earth: "Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be” (Doctrine and Covenants 93:29).
“Intelligence” is the essence of our being and has existed forever.  Although Mormons don’t know a great deal about this, evidently our intelligence has also always been individual.  The Lord said to the ancient prophet Abraham,

And the Lord said unto me: These two facts do exist, that there are two spirits, one being more intelligent than the other; there shall be another more intelligent than they; I am the Lord thy God, I am more intelligent than they all.” (Abraham 3:19)

The Plan of Salvation teaches that God the Father is the father of our spirits, and that as spirits, we lived with Him before we were born with physical bodies into mortal life on earth, making us spiritually brothers and sisters to all who live on this earth.  Christ’s was the first spirit organized by the Father. This could have happened eons and eons ago, since the Father has created “worlds without number” through the Word, who is Christ. (See Moses 1:33.) Mormons believe that Jesus Christ has always been a separate person from God the Father. http://mormonbeliefs.org. /mormon_beliefs/who-is-jesus-christ. Furthermore the Mormons teach that Jesus had to learn and grow in knowledge from grace to grace until He gained the fullness of all things. Jesus was created by the Father but this is not said of men although they are said to be only intelligences until God gave them life as a human.
     Jehovah Witnesses belief that God created Jesus and that He is simply a creation by God for God's purpose not only for creating, but for salvation. Therefore as "a god" (John 1:1; New World Translation) Jesus is not part of the Godhead, the Trinity.
     These who claim to be Christian have doctrines that are not taught in the Bible and both have either rewritten the Bible to fit their theology (Jehovah Witness), or have a new "bible" that fits their theology. Both then deny the the Bible as the true and only word of God. It is interesting to note that the Mormons point to a visitation to Joseph Smith Jr. the angel Mordecai and given through him the directive to write a new revelation about God. The Muslim point to the same as Mohammed is said to have been visited by the angel Gabriel and given the same instructions to write a religious book. 
     Many have been deceived by such new revelations and many more who are searching for the truth will be caught up in such heresy. It is our responsibility to bring the truth of the Bible, the gospel to them and not sit by tacitly approving of these heresies. This twisting of the truth found in the Bible seems to the unlearned to be truth even if it be another truth, a form of plurality a problem found in the culture of this present age. You don't like what the Bible states: so then a rewrite of the Bible to fit what one believes and then give to the participants in their religious beliefs they duty to be good citizens and good adherents of morality, as is found in Islam, Mormons, and Jehovah Witnesses as proof that this rewrite is of God: when it is not! 
     Jesus Christ is God, He is not just another god, but God, the Second Person of the Trinity, not some subservient God doing the will of God the Father. God, God of the Bible makes it clear that He is the creator, and that by means of the Second Person of the Trinity all was created. Only God Himself, not another god, is the Only God. If man existed at the beginning then man is a god. This is heresy! We did not just sit around as an intelligence until God the Father decided to pick us out of the multitude of other intelligences to be placed into a human body. 
      For sin, that sin that is unjust to a Just God had to be reconciled and that God did Himself for He has the power to do this, not some other god, not some other means, only Himself and this He did be sending His Wisdom to earth to become a little lower than angels to be in the form of men satisfying the Justice of God. Salvation now can be applied, not by works of man, but by the sole election of God. 
     The question is: Do you actually believe the Bible to be the word of God, innerant, infallible? Do you study the Bible so that you are not led astray by those who would come into your life as wolves in sheep clothing? Authentic Christian Faith is one that is founded upon the Bible as handed down to us from the prophets and men of old and those who wrote the New Testament. You need look no further.

Hear Me now therefore, O ye children, 
     and depart not from the words 
of My mouth.

The Superiority Of Jesus Christ

But we see Jesus, who was made

a little lower than the angels for 

the suffering of death, crowned

with glory and honor; that He 

by the grace of God should taste

death for every man. For it 

became Him for whom are all 

things, in bringing many sons

unto glory, to make captain of

their salvation perfect through

sufferings. 

Hebrews 2:9-10

     This writer's argument that Jesus is superior to angels albeit while here on earth as a man was made a little lower than angles is resumed. The writer of Hebrews makes it clear that in the world to come angels will have the charge of administration or government. Jesus Christ was given by God the Father glory and honor and that above all creatures. This glory and honor given by the Father was never given to anyone else, to no angel was this given only to Jesus Christ and this on account of His sufferings even suffering death. This suffering and death by Jesus Christ was God's grace given to all men. The government is not of angels for this was never given to them although God uses means to govern and the One governing is Jesus Christ and it is Him who determines the manner of governing. Angels carry out the will of Jesus Christ who orders all things and carried out by those He uses to accomplish His will. Man is still with volition only man now in this eternal life, with this so great a salvation and being a new creature no longer as a volition that is in contradiction to the will of God. God has given to man Jesus Christ even though as a Man Jesus Christ underwent great sufferings and that suffering first satisfied the justice of God and further His sufferings and death was by His grace salvation for men. Jesus Christ tasted death for everyone. That is you and me! When we see all that God has done for us, for our salvation, and this when we stand before the throne of God no longer will we stand against God our souls have a new life, a life that God determined for man when man was created. 

     God has given us His word and His grace that faith is a free gift and the calling of God, the enabling of God is free, we cannot earn it, we can do nothing to cause God to give it to us, but we when hearing the word of God our faith, this free gift is activated and we hear the calling of God, and we are enabled to live for God and with God: "For both He that sanctified and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, I will declare Thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the Church will I sing praise unto Thee. And again I will put my trust in Him. And again, behold I and the children which God has given Me" (Hebrews 2:11-13). Jesus Christ has declared to us His name, not just a name, but His name that speaks of Who He is and what He has done, Jesus, the Messiah, the Savior. You do not sanctify yourselves, God does through Jesus Christ. You must manifest this sanctification in your life, and this means growing to maturity in Him. 

     Jesus is the supreme example for men not as liberal Christianity makes Him to be, rather the Jesus of the Bible. It is by the Bible whereby we find the claims of Jesus to be fact. Conduct by anyone is not a claim or the norm. Speak in gibberish language, claim prosperity, claim to be a healer, claim, claim, claim, but those claims are to Scriptural. To manufacture some godliness is not from God, it is from man. Authentic Christians are those who imitate Jesus Christ and the claims of Jesus are that those whom He calls brethren are to deny self, to break even the most holiest of claims those that are our closest ties for is this is not done then that person is not a disciple of Jesus Christ. Jesus is not the Supreme One in that life. To imitate the One who came to earth to die for His justice, the justice of God, and applies that justice to those who are graced with the free gift of faith will never lead a person astray. This was and is the mission of Jesus Christ a mission He completed, "it is finished" He spoke and now we can receive this salvation with assurance that those words of Jesus, no matter how hard, how harsh, were words of truth and words of freedom. Jesus Christ is the object of our faith. Will you live Authentic Christian Faith?

Save us, O LORD our God,

     and gather us from among

the heathen, to give thanks

     unto thy holy name, and 

to triumph in thy praise.

              Psalm 106:47

Praise God For His Salvation

Richard L. Crumb

Angels Will Be In Charge Of The World To Come? How? Why?

For unto the angels hath He not put

in subjection the world to come, whereof

we speak. "but one in a certain place

testified, saying, "What is man, that thou

art mindful of him? Or the son of man, 

that thou visitest Him? Thou madest Him

a little lower than the angels; thou 

crownest Him with glory and honor, 

and didst set Him over the works of  

Thy hands: Thou has put all in subjection

under His feet. For in that He put all in

subjection under Him, He left nothing

that is not put under Him. But now we 

see not yet all tings put under Him.

Hebrews 2:5-8

      God uses means to accomplish His will. God used His Wisdom to create the world by the power of the Holy Spirit who gives life to all things, and this by the power of the Godhead, the Trinity, all working as One, not as three. Furthermore, you may have wondered at the reason for angels and here in these verse it is clear they too have a purpose and are means by which the universe to come is in subjection them. God used the means of His Wisdom becoming man making Him to be a little lower than the angels as is man. There is a difference though and that is due to the hypostatic union between all three Person of the Godhead. Jesus was and  is God, and His willingness to become man is a supernatural work that could only be done by God Himself, not by an angel for they too when the work on the cross was completed, not Jesus the Son of God in His Person as the Son of God returned to take up His rightful place on the throne of God causes all things to be put under His feet, even the angels. There is nothing that is not put under the feet of subjection to Jesus Christ. As God's Wisdom all were in subjection to Him, and now, as the Son of God, Jesus Christ the Messiah, all things are under the Son of God. 

     Well, you say: "I am obedient, and have faith and I believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity." Good! Do you have the idea that God rewards you for your faith? In the beginning, when we first believe God does reward us with salvation and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, then, we come to this point, we do not earn anything by faith. So why so much emphasis about faith? Faith brings us into a right relationship with God and with this faith then God gives His opportunity. What do I mean? Well, God frequently has to kick the bottom from us and allow us to be moved from our experience, that experience we first had when we first believed. We must mature, grow in order that you become a saint so that you will get into contact with God, with Jesus Christ, not just believe, not just to have some faith, to become one with God. Think about this: you are worth more as your narrowness of your faith, even though it was intense, needed to settle down so that you become useful to God. You are the means that God uses to spread the Gospel into this world. God must teach to walk by faith, not in faith, but by faith. You must come to that place where your testimony is not just some work you do, rather it is you, your life. 

     Faith by its very nature must be tried, and the real trial of our faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God's character is formed in you, in your minds. Now with this faith you need not shudder at the thought of sinning, you just do not sin, it does not control you, or take charge of you thoughts and you need not discuss whether or not to do what you know is wrong in the sight of God. To not confound the trials of faith with the ordinary discipline of life as much of those trials of life are an inevitable result for being alive. Faith in the Bible, God's words to us, is that our faith in God, this faith is against everything that contradicts Him. 

     Jesus Christ is overall: Will you trust Him? Will you submit to Him so that there is nothing, even if you are killed for Him, for anything, yet you will trust Him? This is faith in action.

The remnant shall return, 

even the remnant of Jacob, 

unto the mighty God.

              Isaiah 10:21

Put your faith into action
