You've given me a lot to study.


This goes against everything I've ever believed.


What happens if I don't receive this teaching?

I believe this topical consideration affects how we relate to our example, our brother, our saviour; as he overcame, we can overcome.

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

The topic invites us (as readers of the scriptural witness) to decide if our example is:
1. one who was BORN of God
or
2. God BECOMING a MAN.

If the Son of God is actually a "God BECAME a man" reality, he is not an example for you or for me since we are not the result of being God added to ourselves human form.

A few other sobering considerations are found in I John.
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

I choose life.
