Episode 380: Are the Son of the Godhead and the Man Jesus not the same person Part 1

Hello everyone. Today I produced a video to address a question that came to me from @jaysal6698.

Here is the question: Hi grace and peace and all praises to the tmh in Christ but quick question u said the son of the godhead n the son of the man not the same? Is confusing pls elaborate?

Let’s begin with an extremely important question, what type of Being is God? Not what you and I think or believe, that is immaterial and has no bearing on the truth.

Does the Bible, the holy scriptures give us the answer to this question? Does it define God for us? Here’s the answer to the two aforementioned questions.
Yes, the scriptures do define what type of Being God is. Let’s list them.
The first evidence of what type of Being God is in the scriptures is defined by God Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ.

John 4:24
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
God IS NOT A SPIRIT, God is Spirit. That is not a play on words. There is no other Being like God. Although angels and man a spiritual being they are not like God in the sense of His immortality. One of the best passages that explains this is in 1 Timothy.

1 Timothy 6:13-17
I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, WHO ALONE HAS IMMORTALITY, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

God’s Being cannot cease to exist. Why not? God’s Being cannot not cease because His Being IS LIFE ITSELF.

John 1:1-4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

John 5:26
For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,

What does Jesus mean by that?
John 11:5-6
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

1 Corinthians 15:45
And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

All others are created beings and can simply be spoken in and out of exitance as often as God pleases.

John 5:21
For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.
Not only that but God is the perfection of holiness which translate into light, the radiance of which translate into a consuming raging fire enfolding within itself. The scriptures call it the likeness of the glory of the LORD. This makes God in His native form UNAPPROACHABLE, not just by men and angels but by anything God can create. Creation itself cannot look upon God in His native Spirt form.

This passage in Timothy reveals something else about the nature of God in His native Spirit form. God cannot be seen by any of His creation. Why not? The scriptures explain this by telling us that God’s essence is invisible. Invisible to any of His creation yet visible to Himself.

John 1:18
No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

Exodus 33:20
But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.”
The Lord Jesus Himself declared this truth.

Luke 24:39
Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had SEEN A SPIRIT. And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, FOR A SPIRIT (What about a spirit LORD? A spirit) DOES NOT HAVE FLESH AND BONES as you see I have.”
We are now in a quagmire. Why is that? Because we have a confession from the Lord Jesus Himself that states just the opposite.

John 6:46
Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.

How is that possible? If God was a man, and I want to be extremely careful here, God is not a man but if He was, what would God look like? He would look and act exactly like the Man Jesus Christ.

Colossians 1:15
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

Matthew 11:27
All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

Psalm 2:7
“I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.

Why would God have to say this to a member of the Godhead? He wouldn’t and He didn’t. God said this to His own body. The body of God in essence is not Spirit, it is Spiritual. What’s the difference? I will let the Lord Jesus tell you what the difference between Himself and His Father is.

Now listen to the Holy Spirit’s explanation.
Psalm 113:4-6
The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. Who is like the LORD our God, who dwells on high, who HUMBLES HIMSELF to behold (to create) the things that are in the heavens and in the earth?

The question is how? How did God humble Himself prior to creating all things that are created?
The Holy Spirit provides more details through Paul in the book of Philippians and Hebrews.

Philippians 2:5-7
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

Hebrews 1:1-4
God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
