Preface Flashcards
Philippians 2:5-11
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: who, being very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death – even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
What is the scriptural phrase to remember?
Philippians 2:5-11
Today, all the churches around the world, call on the name of Jesus, but many of them do not know correctly who Jesus is by nature. Why?
It’s because each church interprets the Bible according to its own doctrine.
What do some churches consider Jesus as denying the Trinity?
- Jesus is only a creature like one of us.
- Jesus is one of the Angels
- God and Jesus are not the same ( even though the purpose and will of the two are the same)
- Jesus failed to fulfill God’s will because he was crucified on the cross 1900 years ago
- Some dare to curse Jesus, even saying, “He is a sinner. “
Why is there such a great difference among the churches in interpreting the same Bible?
It’s because they see the Scriptures, written by the inspiration of the Spirit, with their physical eyes obscured by sin.
John 5:39
You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the scriptures that testify about me.
What scriptures did Jesus mean in John 5:39?
The books of the Old Testament, not of the new testament.
Only he who studies all the prophets of the Old Testament will understand what?
Will understand the prophecy that the Lord God will come in the flesh and save his people from their sins as the Messiah and he will know who He (Jesus) is.
What should we do in order to recognize Jesus?
We should study the Old Testament prophets carefully rather than waste time constantly arguing with each other.
Without studying the Old Testament prophecies about the Christ to come,
We cannot understand who Jesus is.
