To whom do your hands belong and what do you have in you r hands?
In your hands I lay my spirit Jesus said at the cross, Oho God of Israel rather I fall into your hands rather than the hands of human beings, To whom do your hands belong and what do you have in your hands? Is what we have in our hands that can open the doors, Moses had a rod to open the door to Isreal the promise land, David had a stone to defeat the great gaint threat, Jesus Christ had scars in his hands scar's of the old sin and path to salvation, Feel my scars put your hands in them Thomas and believe it's me, What do you have in those hands that proves your worth in Christ, in his hands he healed many, in those very hands he blessed many, in those hands he changed a many. In our hand's how many have died spiritual and physical? In our hands how many are lost today? Because of the works of our hands how many today can't even come to church? Praise God? Worship him? Are we really appreciating or depreciating the works of God in our hands? Our hand's can't turn water into wine but can turn water into blood, laughter into tears, joy into pain, happiness into misery, love into hate and peace and harmony into chaos and war, turn sanity into confusion, To whom do your hands belong and what do you have in those hands? Are they hand's that opens or closes? Do they build or destroy? Do they carry success of failure? Can they hold or break? It's our hand's built within us and in God we want to understand the Why do they see the opposite, why can't I get it right, is it my hands or me? Is it how I touch or how I push? The hands
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full
of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ {Christ's faith, not our faith} unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith...
As it written in the scriptures that those of him like resemble him and be called Christ like, but little do we know what is Christ like especially if Christ is drawn only from the works and the miracles he had done, indeed I would argue that that is not maturity neither circumcision of faith through faith.
Before he was God he was man, as it written in the scriptures that he took the form of man and chose to suffer as human not God, because of the sins we carry are not of our spirit but of the flesh, the pain we suffer are not of our spirit but of our flesh, The spirit cannot be seen so it can't be it fighting for fame, fighting for glory, fighting for money, fighting for power and control, for the spirit carries it all by the Will of it's maker, The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, he cried to God. Because sometimes it is our flesh that is weak for success, that is weak to carry God, weak to praise him, weak to worship him. The day the flesh can carry the spirit that's the day we all muture in the faith, the day the Unity of flesh and spirit takes place that's the day circumcision through faith takes place, for a man Cannot return to her mother's womb, but through the spirit the flesh can be born again. For the spirit is given an identity, the spirit is given a name, the spirit is given life and purpose. Go make disciples of your own bless them in your name for your name's are names of the spirit not of flesh, they are names are of God not man who gave birth to them, they didn't return to their mother's womb to earn those names, but had to circumcise the flesh to endure the spirit through that they earned faith that granted them New life in God.
Jesus obeyed the will of the Father always willingly and lovingly. He never erred in thought, speech, or actions. In all that Jesus did, it was for our sake. He lived the perfect human life for us so that when He took our place on the cross He exchanged His perfect life to us for our sins. We have been given the righteousness of His perfect life and He took the judgment for our sins, taking them completely away and vanquished them.
This is such wonderful news to all of us who believe! And it is the Good News we can bring to those who do not yet believe.
I speak these things because I think it is very important that we believe about Jesus what Scripture actually says of Him. Hope this is helpful to you or to others who read.
You have made many interesting points in your post. I just wish to speak to one that you mentioned. That is that the Lord was not God before He was man, rather man, then God.
I would like to direct you to John chapter 1 where He states that:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was Life.....vs. 1-4
" And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld His glory..... vs. 14
This opening chapter of the Apostle John clearly says that Jesus (the Word) preexisted as God with the Father. And at the fulness of time, He (Jesus, the Word) became flesh (took upon Himself a full human nature like every other human but without a sinful nature). Jesus remained God while living on earth. God is eternal and can never cease to be. But when He became man, He added humanity to His Person to be both God and man in one Person. He was not two persons in one body. Rather He was One Person with two natures-deity and humanity. This is classic Christian doctrine goin back to the apostles.
God, in His infinite wisdom deemed that the only way the debt of the sins of all mankind could be satisfactorily paid for to bring forgiveness and redemption was through One who was both God and man. As God, Jesus was able to bear the extreme wrath of God for the sin of all mankind. As God, Jesus was the most precious sacrifice God could provide, therefore the infinite, inexhaustive worth of His life was the highest cost possible to propitiate our sins. As man, Jesus, having lived a perfect human life, was the only human in all history who could be a perfect substitute for all other humans to take our place before God and have our sin be judged in Jesus. In His humanity, Jesus obeyed each and every aspect of the Law of God to the very jot and tittle. He never sinned in any way. continued in part 2

What is a mutured faith looks like?
