Re: Apostolic But Not Believing Jesus is The Fathe
Jesus pre existed as God the Father.
Paul gave us this.
1Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
Paul said in the OT the Rock was Christ. If we can discover the identity of the ROCK we will know who Christ is.
Dueteronomy 32:6
3Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
Do you see what I see? The one who is THE ROCK in the OT was The LORD, YHWH. He also was their God, ELOHIM. And in verse 6 he was THEIR FATHER!
So when Paul said that Rock was Christ he meant Christ pre existed as God the Father in the OT. This should become second nature to every Apostolic.
