Question
QUESTION: Dear sire
IS JESUS SPOKEN (AS A MAN )FROM HIS WORDS OR WORDS OF GOD?
i mean when jesus spoke as a man he take words from himself or god?
thank you

ANSWER: Hi Jon,

Thank you for this great question.  The simple answer is that on Earth, Jesus spoke words given by God the Father.

John 12:50 (AV)
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.


The complicated thing is that Jesus is the embodiment of all the Trinity... He represents the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.

Colossians 2:8–9 (AV)
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.


I hope that this helps you.

In Christ

QUESTION: Dear sire
thank you for your answer
you said jesus spoke all his words in earth from his god.
ok i agree with you.so jesus in the earth not spoke from his mind but from his father.
so we must say that jesus spoke not as man or not as god but god sent all words to jesus to spoke with it on the earth.
i mean jesus wasnt spoke from his mind at all but god spoke through jesus and jesus recieve all his words from his father.
because sometimes i heat that jesus spoke as a man and sometimes i hear that jesus spoke as a god.so i refuse this idea and  i say jesus spoke not as a man or a god but he spoke as a reciever from his father .
Are you agree with me?
i need simple answer like past answer.
thank you

Answer
Hi John,

Thanks for this great follow up.  Jesus did speak from the father, but the hard thing to understand is that Jesus is GOD, therefore He embodies all of the Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.  See that the Bible says that the promised Christ Child would not only be the prince of peace (the Son of a King) but also THE MIGHTY GOD.  Jesus is both!

Isaiah 9:6 (AV)
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

John 10:30 (AV)
30 I and my Father are one.

John 14:9–11 (AV)
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.


I hope that this helps you.

In Christ
