Actually its all about the Word, the Bread of Life, you all dont understand that I'm an odd ball, and not denominational, I do the Sabbath like orthodox Judeans, and 7th Day Adventist, but I dont believe many of their doctrines, and as a matter of fact I dont trust many preachers, or teachers, Jesus said "you call Me Teacher and Lord and you say well for so I AM" and he also said that "no servant is greater than his Master", I know people think its weird, but if you notice through out the many scriptures God says many times "harken unto My Word", if you understand this, you understand the spiritual context of the death and resurrection and why, and the prayer in chap16-19 in (John) if you were to notice when (the spoken Word of the Father) = Yeshua, talks about the Word and focus on that but still read the whole prayer not taking anything out of context... the Spirit would show you something. ...Thank the Lord and give Glory to the King of Glory!
-Spidergoat, I have many copies of pseudepigraphic, apocryphal, and D.S.S. bibles and I have looked into Gnosticism, and that was most definitely a theology, dating after Jesus, and just like the theologians of today that learn much about the bible, by commentaries of historical church figures. and doctrines of this and that, but not actually studying the Bible and Gods Word, became distorted in the knowledge of Truth like those of today. Jesus did come in the flesh, and no angle took his place, like the Muslims and Jehovah witnesses think.
P.S. God also did not obtain Godhood either like the Mormons think, He did not create himself and all the heavens and earth, and then obtained the Godhood after the fact to have the power to create. Its kind of dumb.
