The Christadelphian Blasphemy Part 26

Just as Paul spoke of the 1st Adam being an Earthly Body, here we come across in scripture, to the Spiritual Body, that being the Body of Jesus Christ, of His Heavenly Body, which came in the Flesh, as seen in John chapter 1, so let us go to scripture to the area by which this Spiritual Body was Conceived, starting off with the verses in Matthew Chapter 1 verses 18 & 20.

Mat 1:18  Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Mat 1:20  But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Now looking at verse 18, Mary was espoused or betrothed to Joseph, and she was found with Child, being Jesus Christ conceived by that which is Spiritual being by that of the Holy Ghost/Spirit, and in verse 20 we are shown that again by an Angel of the Lord confirming that to Joseph in a Dream, that which that is in Her is Spiritual Body that is to become flesh, not like any ordinary Earthly Flesh like that of Adam, which both Joseph & Mary are made of the same earthly Flesh, that which is below, as for Jesus Christ, he is of the Heavenly Flesh, which is from Above.

Now another thing to bring up before showing the additional witness verses to this, we must remember, that which is Spiritual, is able to discern that which is Spiritual, far greater than any other human being of the earthly flesh can fathom, seeing it Pre-existed in places where our earthly body can’t comprehend, and that the Holy Spirit, as Shown earlier that God is Spirit, and God’s Spirit is also Holy, conceived this Spiritual Being.

Now lets now move to the book of Luke covering this conception.

Luk 1:26  And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Luk 1:27  To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
Luk 1:28  And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Luk 1:29  And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
Luk 1:30  And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
Luk 1:31  And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Luk 1:32  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Luk 1:33  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Luk 1:34  Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
Luk 1:35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

In these verses we see the Angel Gabriel sent from God, to inform Mary, that she will have the Holy Spirit conceive in her Womb a Son, Who was & Is the Son of God, whom Gabriel knew of in the Spiritual, and that his name is called Jesus/Yeshua to those who want to acknowledge his name in the Hebrew, so by this we have a Spiritual being confirming the Coming of that which is a Heavenly Body to become Flesh, not like the Flesh of Adam able to be tempted and fall so Easily, A Spiritual body, that is able to conquer Physical Fleshly Death unlike that of the Flesh of Adam.

Now covering the short recording of the Growth of Jesus Christ in scripture we will jump to these verses:

Luk 2:40  And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Luk 2:52  And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

Both of these verses cover Jesus Christ, the Heavenly/Spiritual Body in the Flesh, in verse 40 we see like any child he grew, if a child doesn’t grow, they still remain a child, it then says, he waxed strong in spirit, what Spirit was he conceived of again, the answer is the Holy Spirit of God, Filled with Wisdom, which can only be Gods Wisdom and Gods Grace was within Him, verse 52, we see stature being mentioned, indicating he grew older, an he already have Favour with God, for John says he was God in a Heavenly Flesh, and Favour with man.

So lets start to cover the baptism of Jesus Christ by John in scripture, starting off with Matthews Account:

Mat 3:13  Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Mat 3:14  But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Mat 3:15  And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Mat 3:16  And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Mat 3:17  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Here we see Jesus coming to the Jordan to be baptized of John, who was preaching on repentance, john knowing this also taught on when Jesus comes, would baptize with the Holy Ghost & with Fire, for the Righteousness to be bought in, he recieves the baptism by John, which is also seen in the following when posted, in Luke & John, we then see witness of Heaven opening up & a Voice confirming that this is the Son Of God in the Flesh, saying he is well pleased, which is very similar to God saying in creation, that it is Good, and can be found in the Psalms.

Here are the other witnessing verses in Luke & John.

Luk 3:21  Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Luk 3:22  And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

Joh 1:29  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Joh 1:30  This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Joh 1:31  And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
Joh 1:32  And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
Joh 1:33  And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
Joh 1:34  And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
Joh 1:35  Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
Joh 1:36  And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

Now after the baptism, we know Jesus was taken into the wilderness, remember, Jesus is the Heavenly Body in the Flesh now, so lets see what he encounters to tempt him in the wilderness.

Mat 4:1  Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Mat 4:11  Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Mar 1:13  And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
Luk 4:1  And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

As we first look into these verses, we see Jesus Christ was led by the Spirit, remembering, this is the Spiritual Body in the flesh, which is unable to be tempted because it is from Heaven above, 1st thing see to come tempt him, is yes, that which is also a spiritual being representing evil, Satan Aka Devil himself, so we come to another conclusion by which the Christadelphians must accept that not only Jesus is a Spiritual being in the Flesh, that the devil/satan also is a spiritual being , after this event we also see other witnesses to this account being the Writers, who informed us of this Spiritual realm, where these things exist, and also the Angels who also came and ministered to Jesus.

Now moving into Luke 4:14 where we see Jesus Christ return after this attempted temptation of Satan which Failed, returning unto Galilee in the Power & Spirit.

Luk 4:14  And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

To be continued in Part 27, here are some verses to read before reading the next part.

Act 2:17  And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

2Ti 3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

1Pe 1:12  Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
2Pe 1:21  For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
