Wayne Jackson Jesus in Form of god

Did Jesus Christ Exist in the Form of God on Earth?

Wayne Jackson Is Holy Spirit Worthy of Worship the Hebrew and Greek word for spirit means WIND: then figuratively of breath. Spirit never speaks of a "person" but the mind or mental disposition of that person.  God IS holy or Wholly Spirit without any body parts of flesh.  God's Spirit is Christ's Spirit is the Mind of Christ and Jesus said My words ARE Spirit and they are Life.

By Wayne Jackson

Wayne Jackson: Some conservative writers have attempted to defend the idea that the second Person of the Godhead, at the time of the “incarnation” (i.e., when “the Word became flesh”—John 1:14), laid aside “the form of God.” They contend that the concept of an infinite God being clothed within a human body is illogical. Though these authors undoubtedly mean well, their position is quite erroneous as to the nature of the incarnate Christ.

GOD HAS HIS OWN THOUGHT, BREATH [SPIRIT] AND WORD WITH HIM. WORD OR LOGOS IS WHAT JESUS AND OTHERS SPOKE TO CONVEY  GOD'S MIND

Paul did not say that Jesus WAS GOD from all eternity past:  God gave Jesus a grand appearance and power as the SINGULAR image of the always-pagan godHEADS. Godhead means "divine nature" and not being filled with the infinite Almighty.

forma  contour, figure, shape, appearance (In poet. circumlocution with gen.: astra tenent caeleste solum formaeque deorum, the forms of gods, for gods, Ov. M. 1, 73: “formae ferarum,” id. ib. 2, 78: “ursi ac formae magnorum luporum,” Verg. A. 7, 18: “formae ingentis leo,”
2. An outline, plan, design (of an architect, etc.): “cum formam videro, quale aedificium futurum sit, scire possum,” Cic. Fam. 2, 8, 1:
3. A model after which any thing is made, a pattern, stamp, last (of a shoemaker),

That Jesus was born as the IMAGE OF GOD is validated by the Latin which defines "God" as:

dĕus , i dyāus (Gr. zeus), heaven: dévas, God; cf. Gr. dios, eudia; but not theos,
Also of the Son of God, God the Son, Christ: “Deus pater et Deus filius,
of highly distinguished or fortunate persons:

When God breathed (spirit) and Jesus articulated the Word or Logos He told the apostles that if THEY spoke what HE spoke they would be hated and despised. Jesus had the POWER to whip all of the Jews into subjection and force people into the kingdom. However, to prevent Himself from diminishing the LOGOS He then took on the form of the WORD but without any personal power.

ex-ĭnānĭo  made powerless, Vulg. Rom. 4, 14: “semet ipsum exinanivit,” i. e. laid aside his glory, id. Philip. 2, 7.— Absol.: “exinanite,” destroy, Vulg. Psa. 136, 10.

WE can be filled with the nature of God but that does not make us a god. We are in the IMAGE of God but humility is the only path to power.

1Cor. 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head,
        forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God:
        but the woman is the glory of the man.
2Cor. 4:4 In whom the god of this world
        hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
        lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
        who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

MISSING LINKS:  The Spirit OF (preposition) Christ defined everything required to make one wise until salvation in the writing Prophets: He defined the future REST both inclusively and exclusively.  Jesus of Nazareth made these prophecies more certain and the Apostles as eye-- and ear-- witnesses. Each writer guided into all truth by Jesus in His Holy Spirit state left their "parts" as their memory.  Peter said that these perfected prophecies are not to be private-interpreted which means further expounded.

The people who adopted a trinity view to fight Arius understood that there was no Biblical evidence: like music and other additions they were needed because they "were common to all pagan cults."  Those who follow a misguided version of the first scholars to speak the "trias" words are left with collecting isolated texts and putting them into a system of theology.  John said that those who deny the God-Father and Jesus-Lord or Son are antichrists: that is because there is an urge to fracture the Spirit OF Christ from the person to which a spirit belongs.

This is an ANTIChristian view also because it builds on the thesis that the Spirit OF Christ was not capable of explaining how a "familly of gods" existed: it is left to them to lump isolated texts into a basket.

  Matt. 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father:
               and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father;
               neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,
               and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
              All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
      Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
               baptizing them in the name [singular] of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
       Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
              and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Peter understood this to mean:

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them,
        Repent, and be baptized every one of you
        in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
        and ye shall receive the gift of the A Holy Ghost.

Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words;
              Jesus of Nazareth,
              a MAN approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,
              which God did BY him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

Acts 10:38 How God anointed
        Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:
        who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
        for God was with him.

Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens:
                 but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord,
                 Sit thou on my right hand,
       Acts 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
       Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
                  that God [theou] hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
                   both Lord [kuriou] and Christ.

1Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus,
        who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness,
        and sanctification, and redemption:
1Corinthians 1:31 that, according as it is written,
        He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Rom. 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
                 separated unto the gospel of God, [theou]
        Rom. 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
        Rom. 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, [kuriou]
                  which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
        Rom. 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God [theou] with power,
                  according to the spirit of holiness,
                  by the resurrection from the dead:
2Pet. 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables,
                  when we made known unto you the power
                  and coming of our Lord [kuriou] Jesus Christ,
                  but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

       2Pet. 1:17 For he received from God  [theou] the Father honour and glory,
                 when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory,
                 This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end,
        upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it,
        and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.
        The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

EXAMPLE: The Spirit OF Christ in Isaiah 45 PROVES that the Civil-Military-Clergy he called robbers and parasites WERE worshiping and thinking of OTHER gods BESIDE Jehovah.

If there is any "god" person outside of or going from Jehovah, He doesn't know about it.

Isaiah 45:1 Thus saith the LORD [Jehovah], to his anointed, [Messiah]
        to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him;
        and I will loose the loins of kings,
        to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

Cyrus was not a god person

Isaiah 45:5 I am the Lord [Jehovah], and there is none else,
        there is no God beside me: [beside, not in, not without]
        I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 

extrā on the outside,  to indicate that which, being beyond or outside of a thing,
        extra, additional,  to go out from.
co-gnosco, to learn by inquiring, to examine, investigate, perceive,

Isaiah 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west,
        that there is none beside me.
       I am the Lord [Jehovah], and there is none else.  

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness:
       I make peace, and create evil:
       I the Lord [Jehovah]do all these things.

Isaiah 45:11 Thus saith the Lord [Jehovah], the Holy ONE of Israel, and his Maker,
        Ask ME of things to come concerning MY SONS,
        and concerning the work of MY HANDS command ye me.  

Genesis 49:24 But his bow abode in strength,
        and the ARMS of his HANDS were made strong
        by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)

Isaiah 40:9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain;
        O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings,
        lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid;
        say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! m
Isaiah 40:10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong HAND,
         and his ARM shall rule for him: behold,
         his reward is with him, and his work before him.
 
Isaiah 59:16 And he saw that there was no man,
        and wondered  that there was no intercessor:
        therefore his ARM [seed] brought salvation unto him;
        and his righteousness, it sustained him.

1Corinthians 8:5 For though there be that are called gods,
        whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
1Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God [theos], the Father,
              OF whom are all things,
        and we in him; and one Lord [kurios] Jesus Christ,
              BY whom are all things, and we by him.

Isaiah 45:12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it:
        I, even my HANDS, have stretched out the heavens,
        and all their host have I commanded.

Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD  [Jehovah] that created the heavens;
        God himself that formed the earth and made it;
        he hath established it, he created it not in vain,
        he formed it to be inhabited:
        I am the LORD [Jehovah]; and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth:
        I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain:
        I the LORD [Jehovah] speak righteousness,
        I declare things that are right.
Isaiah 45:20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together,
        ye that are escaped of the nations:
        they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image,
        and pray unto a god that cannot save. 

Isaiah 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea,
        let them take counsel together:
        who hath declared [SPEAK BEFORE]  this from ancient time?
        who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? [Jehovah] 
             and there is no God else beside me;
             a just God and a Saviour;
             there is none beside me. 
Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:
        for I am God, and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself,
        the WORD [Dabar-Logos] is gone out of my mouth in righteousness,
        and shall not return,
        That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

ALL conservatives speak what the Bible speaks and there is no hint that God is a family of three members of equal rank and separate "centers of consciousness." ALL conservatives understand the classical trinitarians who began defining God as did the Campbells:

ALL conservatives understand the classical trinitarians who began defining God as did the Campbells:

God the only Father thinks or conceives
God the only Divine Being BREATHS (spirit) as His power
God the only Divine being SPEAKS or articulates WORDS.

In paganism, Hermes or Mercury was the LOGOS and one of and always-pagan trinity.
God speaks ANTITHESIS to prove that in the beginning the LOGOS was with God and WAS God.
He made Jesus of Nazareth TO BE both Lord and Christ and personified LOGOS.
The Logos is kurios and never theos: He is Son of a Father. He is elder brother: Pathfinder.

Deity exists at two levels: God [theou] who IS Spirit and fills the universe. In Him we live, move and have our being.  Second, God is Lord or KURIOS: God uses "instrumental means" or people to exercise His Authority.

If you say that Jesus of Nazareth was in the FORM of god it is certain that you make the Spirit of the Universe into "three people about my size." John Mark Hicks would make "them" three centers of consciousness.

Task:  It is required that the pagan THESIS of a separated "god"" person be DISQUALIFIED in the minds by a REAL human in all respects

The MAN Jesus of Nazareth was made to be LORD or ruler in our world: He was born of the SEED of Abraham and in His continuing role with the Apostles He is defined as a MAN.  If we deny that God sent His Christ and Word in the form of audible and visible FLESH John says that we are antiChrist.  Wayne Jackson and others want Jesus to have been a GOD person (Like Hermes) and to remain a GOD during His earthly reign.  As such He would not be a pattern for we mortals.

When Jesus returned to the Father is is not called  theou but KURIOS
Paul saw and heard this kurios who said "I am Jesus of Nazareth."

If Jesus didn't continue as the same glorified person, He would not have fulfilled His promise to be with those who teach what HE commanded until the end of the world.

In that returned state He is not called one of the three Theous but Kurios. He is still the RULER of His kingdom until the end when the SON will return the throne to the ONE REAL FATHER.  

Phil 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,  KURIOS
        to the glory of God [theou] the Father.

God made Jesus TO BE both Lord and Christ.  If he had been theou one of the "sacred three" then how did theos have the power to make an "equal" into a KURIOS?

Heb. 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.
        He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Heb. 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified
        through the offering of the BODY of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb. 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering
        and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices,
        which can never take away sins:
Heb. 10:12 But this MAN, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,
        sat down on the right hand of God;

Unless He lived with God in His post-resurrected and glorified state then He would not be a pattern for us. He is proof of the resurrection to glory for those who walk in His Steps (defined by His WORDS).  God does not have a body of flesh and blood and bones.  Jesus Messiah is a body.  God made Him to be both Lord and Christ and every other quality which defines a righteous Creator. God the Father put all authority in the Name of the Son.  When Satan tempted Him, Jesus had the right to exercise that right. His brothers wanted Him to go to the Feast of Tabernacles and put on His ACT: surely He could win the prize over all other poets, singers, players, actors or musicians. Instead even with the fullness of the Godhead He did not grasp or hold to that power. In order to defeat Satan in his own world or kosmos, Jesus could not exercise supernatural power other than to show compassion and prove His right to be KURIOS.

God giving Jesus GLORY proves that He was not one of the "co-equal god persons." After He sat down (a parable to fool the foolish Matthew 13) He is still called a Man.

When Israel refused to listen to God speak The Book of the Covenant and demanded a human mediator they lost the rights under the Patriarchal period of relationship with God as KURIOS as well as THEOS.  Because of this loss Moses prophesied of another PROPHET like Him which the godly people would hear.  The world did not stop: the godly people were quarantined to their isolated towns on the sabbath day when all of the evil, superstitious what we call WORSHIP services took place. The Jacob-cursed and God-abandoned tribe of Levi were left to carry out the "worship of the starry host" as disciples understand from Acts 7.

At the right time to free the church from SKIA which means "a totally erroneous system" called a covenant with death and hell the another prophet like Moses was sent to fulfil the mission in the scheme of God from of old.

Galatians 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law?
         It was added because of transgressions,
         till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;
        and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Galatians 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant,
        that was confirmed before of God in Christ,
        the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after,
        cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

1Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,
        and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God,  [Theos]
            and one mediator between God and men,
            the MAN Christ Jesus;
1Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry,
        by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant,
        which was established upon better promises.
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament,
        that by means of death,
        for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament,
        they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn,
        which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all,
        and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,
        and to the blood of sprinkling,
        that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Paul is looking backward when he speaks of "Jesus Christ" or "Christ Jesus." It would be a failure of prophecy if Messiah was not the seed (sperm) of Abraham and David.

Matthew 21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did,
         and the children crying in the temple, and saying,
        Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
Mark 12:35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple,
        How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?

Neither Abraham nor David gave birth to Deity: Scripture goes to great extremes to teach the ANTITHESIS of the always-pagan THESIS that a god person actually had intercourse with a virgin and produced a god-chid.  John 1 does not mention Jesus but the WORD.  In all classical trinities the WORD is the Son of the ONE GOD meaning that which the One God SPEAKS.  Spirit NEVER speaks of a person but the "mind or mental disposition of that person" which is given power by their BREATH:

Psa 33:4 For the [1]  WORD of the [3] Lord is right;
        and all his [3] works are done in truth.
Psa 33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment:
        the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.  
Psa 33:6 By the [1] word of the [3] Lord were the heavens made;
        and all the host of them by the [2] breath (spirit) of his mouth.

Amos 4:12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel:
        and because I will do this unto thee,
        prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
Amos 4:13 For, lo, HE [singular]
        that formeth the mountains,
        and createth (bara) the wind (Ruwach or Spirit),
        and DECLARED unto man what is HIS thought,
        that maketh (Asah) the morning darkness,
        and treadeth upon the high places of the earth,
                The Lord, The God of hosts (heavenly warriors), IS HIS NAME 
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was WITH God,
        and the Word WAS God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 

Psa 33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap:
        he layeth up the depth in storehouses.  
Psa 33:8 Let all the earth fear THE Lord:
        let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of HIM.  
Psa 33:9 For he SPAKE, and it was done;
        he COMMANDED, and it stood fast.
Psa 33:10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:
        he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
Psa 33:11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever,
         the THOUGHTS of his HEART to all generations. 
Psa 33:12 Blessed
        is the nation whose God is THE Lord;

HERMES OR MERCURY AS THE LOGOS OF THE GREEKS AS WELL AS APOSTATE JEWS

HERMES was the LOGOS THESIS of the Greek and other pagan religions. These were always triads of gods with the "hermeneutic" principle being the authentic interpreter of the gods. 

As ANTITHESIS God made Jesus to be both Lord and Christ and Grace and Word: Jesus was God's pattern of a SINGULAR Deity encompassing the always-pagan trinities of father, spirit (mother) and infant son.

Homer Hymn to Hermes

Hermes: Born with the dawning, at mid-day he played on the lyre, and in the evening he stole the cattle of far-shooting Apollo on the fourth day of the month; for on that day queenly Maia bare him.

When Zeus had an affair with Mnemosyne, he coupled with her for nine consecutive nights, which produced nine daughters, who became known as the Muses.

They entertained their father and the other gods as a celestial choir on Mount Olympus.
They became deities of intellectual pursuits. Also the three Charites or Graces were born from Zeus and Eurynome. From all his children Zeus gave man all he needed to live life in an ordered and moral way.

Hermes, the herald of the Olympian gods, is son of Zeus and the nymph Maia, daughter of Atlas and one of the Pleiades.

Hermes is also the god of shepherds, land travel, merchants, weights and measures, oratory, literature, athletics and thieves,

and known for his cunning and shrewdness.
He was also a minor patron of poetry.
He was worshiped throughout Greece especially in Arcadia.
Festivals in honor of Hermes were called Hermoea.

Originally Hermes was a phallic god, being attached to fertility and good fortune, and also a patron of roads and boundaries. His name coming from herma, the plural being hermaiherm was a square or rectangular pillar in either stone or bronze, with the head of Hermes (usually with a beard), which adorned the top of the pillar, and male genitals near to the base of the pillar. 

Euripides Ion
Hermes became best known as the swift messenger of the gods. Euripides, in his prologue to the play Ion, has Hermes introduce himself as follows:

Atlas, who wears on back of bronze the ancient
Abode of the gods in heaven, had a daughter
Whose name was Maia, born of a goddess:
She lay with Zeus, and bore me, Hermes,
Servant of the immortals.

AS USUAL GOD REVEALS THE GODLY ANTITHESIS TO THE ALWAYS-PAGAN TRIADS

Rom. 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
        separated unto the gospel of God,
Rom. 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Rom. 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
        which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Rom. 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
        according to the spirit of holiness,
        by the resurrection from the dead:

IN THE BEGINNING, THE LOGOS WAS NOT A GOD-PERSON BUT THE WORD WAS GOD. God does not need another person or people to BREATH for Him or to ARTICULATE Words.

John 1:14 And the LOGOS was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
        (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 
        full of grace and truth.
John 1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying,
        This was he of whom I spake,
        He that cometh after me is preferred before me:
        for he was before me. [As the WORD of God]
John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses,
        but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

BIBLE STUDENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT THERE IS NO GOD BESIDE JEHOVAH

Wayne Jackson: Several arguments have been employed in attempting to buttress this position. For example, it has been argued: God cannot be tempted (James 1:13); but Jesus was tempted (Matthew 4:1ff; Luke 4:1ff ). The conclusion is thus supposed to be: Jesus did not exist in the form of God.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

James 1:13 ¶ Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God:
        for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

Jesus did not exist until after He was born: The Spirit OF Christ spoke through the prophets and was manifested as the ROCK in the wilderness.  "Messiah" is a human concept and not a deity term.  John said that it was the WORD which was with God and was God.  God's Words which He speaks are begotten by Him and are His Son. We do not know how The universal Spirit runs His universe.  However, Jesus was MADE TO BE both Lord and Christ: ruler and Messiah BY God.

James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
James 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men,
        which are made after the similitude of God.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

"We know that as early as the age of twelve, Jesus knew exactly who his Father was and that it was his task in life to "be about his Father's business" (Luke 2:49). He was determined to fulfill all of the requirements of his mission as "Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us" (Matthew 1:23).
We are further told concerning Jesus: "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 on the right hand of the Majesty on high" (Hebrews 1:3). Both of the key words in this verse, (express and image), are taken from the same Greek word. It is interesting that this word is charakter {khar-ak-tare'}; which means (by implication) engraving, "character", or representation. The emphasis is therefore on his conduct, rather than on his appearance.

Wayne Jackson: The logical consequence of this position is that Jesus Christ was not deity in the flesh. Advocates of this view usually do not mean to affirm explicitly that conclusion, but that is where the reasoning leads. What these writers have failed to realize, with reference to James 1:13, is that God the Father—not Christ the Son—is in view in that context. James was not discussing the nature and/or role of Christ. Thus, it is improper to generalize regarding the nature of the Lord from this brief reference.

Jesus before and after God's giving Him glory and rulership, he is called a MAN: John said that if we deny that He came FULLY in the flesh we are antichrists.  Gnostics believed that He was not a MAN and they therefore try to deprive Him of His glory so that He cannot be an EXAMPLE for us to follow.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image,
        in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed:
         for in the image of God made he man.

2Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
        lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
        who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Jesus is still kurios and not Theos

2Corinthians 4:5 For we preach not ourselves,
        but Christ Jesus the Lord;
        and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
2Corinthians 4:6 For God, [theou]
        who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts,
        to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
        in the face of Jesus Christ.
2Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
        that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

To Paul, Jesus was still kurios

2Corinthians 4:10 Always bearing about in the body
        the dying of the Lord  [KURIOS] Jesus,
        that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

All of the salutations define the God-Man relationship

Colossians 1:1 Paul, an apostle
        of Jesus Christ
        by the will of God,
        and Timotheus our brother,
Colossians 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse:
        Grace be unto you, and peace,
        from God [Theou] our Father
        and the Lord [KURIOS] Jesus Christ.

Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Psa 33:4 For the [1]  WORD of the [3] Lord is right;
        and all his [3] works are done in truth.
Psa 33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment:
        the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.  
Psa 33:6 By the [1] word of the [3] Lord were the heavens made;
        and all the host of them by the [3] breath (spirit) of his mouth.

Jesus of Nazareth was the WORD of god made visible and audible.

Paul always speaks retrospectively: God made Jesus to be both Lord and Messiah (Christ).  The Word and Spirit (breath) which dwelled in Jesus was the same Breath and Word God used to create all things. These things were created on earth for a future ruler. Because God does not give birth to other persons, the word personae used by trinitarians speak of all of God's instrumental or working powers which were HIS powers.

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT JESUS WAS DEITY theou IN THE FLESH. God made him TO BE KURIOS

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
        All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
        baptizing them in the NAME (singular) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
        and, lo, I am with you alway,
        even unto the end of the world. Amen

That is why Paul could warn us:

The opposite of godhead

Colossians 2:8 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.

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Every one missed
Col. 1:19 For it PLEASED the Father that in him should all FULNESS dwell;

Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete IN him,
        which is the head of all principality and power:

Plēr-ōma , atos, to, A. that which fills, complement,

Ep.Eph.3.19, 4.13, cf. Ep.Col.1.19; tēs theotētos ib. 2.9; later “ta p. tōn theōn”

Ephesians 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees
        unto the Father
        of our Lord [KURIOS]  Jesus Christ,
Ephesians 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory,
        to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;
        that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ephesians 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth,
         and length, and depth, and height;
Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ,
        which passeth knowledge,
        that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.  [theōn]

That does not mean that we are members of the GOD FAMILY although our spirits existed with Him.

If the fullness or authority which dwelled in Jesus in the flesh was FULLY GOD; and we are baptized into Jesus; then that makes us also DEITY.  The fullness of THEOS dwelled in Jesus as kurieuo,

Wayne Jackson: The text commonly appealed to as proof that Jesus did not exist on Earth in “the form of God” is Philippians 2:6.

The text does not say that JESUS existed ON EARTH as the FORM OF GOD which would mean that God is a person or people and that would be blasphemy. John makes it clear that it was the WORD which was with God and WAS God: God has His Spirit (breath) and His Word with Him but "they" are not three persons any more than as a tri-form being we are three persons.

Wayne Jackson: Here is the full context of what Paul wrote:

Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross (Philippians 2:5-8, ASV).

Again, we note that Paul is speaking of the status of Jesus at that time.  Again,

Rom. 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
        which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Rom. 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
        according to the spirit of holiness,
        by the resurrection from the dead:

Jesus did not exist before he was born of Mary of the Seed of David.  As Christ or Messiah he MUST be a body of flesh.  It was only afterward that God made Jesus of Nazareth (crucifiable) both Lord and Christ.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
        that God [theōn] hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
        both Lord [KURIOS] and Christ [anointed Messiah]

In that form Jesus said that He spoke ONLY what He heard from the Father by the SPIRIT or "breath" of God.

When Philippians was written Paul could use the term Christ Jesus or Jesus the Christ.  According to all historic "trinitarians" it was the WORD of God which existed in the FORM of God: "Form" having to do with that which is spoken.

Jesus was not in the FORM of God meaning a SHAPE.  Jesus was made to be both Lord and Christ and WORD and Spirit and grace and righteousness.

1Cor. 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified,
       unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1Cor. 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks,
        Christ the power of God,
        and the wisdom of God.
1Cor. 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men;
        and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1Cor. 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren,
        how that not many wise men after the flesh,
        not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

1Cor. 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world
        to confound the wise;
        and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

1 Corinthians 1.27 alla ta mōra tou kosmou exelexato ho theos, hina kataiskhunē tous sophous, kai ta asthenē tou kosmou exelexato ho theos, hina kataiskhunē ta iskhura,

1Cor. 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen,
        yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
1Cor. 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
1Cor. 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus,
        who of God
        is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1Cor. 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Wayne Jackson: Contrary to the evidence, however, it has been alleged that whereas Christ existed in the form of God prior to the incarnation, he divested himself of that status while on Earth. Finally, according to the theory under review, Jesus resumed the form-of-God nature when he returned to heaven. There is no biblical support for this concept, which violates the explicit testimony of Scripture.

Again, we note that Jesus did NOT resume the FORM of A God Person: He continued the FORM of the WORD of God and Paul makes it clear that He did NOT return AS God:

Phil 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,  [KURIOS]
        to the glory of God [theou] the Father.

It does not disparage Jesus Christ to know that Jesus Christ is the KURIOS or ruler or king over His kingdom and High Priest over a heavenly tabernacle.  He has all of the powers granted to Him by THEOU and will give them Back to God when He comes again in a visible form.  At that time He will give the throne BACK to God: this shows that He is as always noted KURIOS and not THEOU.

The ROCK in the wilderness was CHRIST but not Jesus of Nazareth. God anoints whatever or whomever He wishes to be His instrumental means.  The WORD was with God because it WAS God just as we always have our Word and Wisdom and Spirit with us.

Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

As God exists within Himself His BREATH and WORD (in human speak) WAS God: the Only FORM we can understand of THE Spirit Who has no flesh, bones, blood or literal body parts.  God IMAGED we mortals and SPOKE and it was done.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him;
        and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Proof of inspiration is fulfilled prophecy: Messiah was not to be a God person from all eternity but the SEED (singular) of Abraham.  All of history prepares for the rule of Messiah.  Perhaps our spirits existed from long ago but we are now manifested in the flesh.

Modern trinitarian, but not historic trinitarianism, insist that it was JESUS who was ACTUALLY God.

Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Romans 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Romans 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
        which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Romans 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
        according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Romans 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship,
        for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Romans 1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

JOHN 1 SAID THAT IT WAS THE WORD WHICH WAS GOD: The Word is the FORM of God articulated.

Matthew 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee,
         if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:
         for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Matthew 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him,
        and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Wayne Jackson: Finally, if it is to be argued that Christ laid aside his status of being in “the form of God” by virtue of his humanness and his subordination to the Father, then one must likewise contend, if consistent, that Jesus does not possess the “form of God” now, because as our Mediator, he is “the man, Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5), and he is still in subjection to the Father (1 Corinthians 15:27).

The WORD of God was in the FORM of God.  Jesus warns that truth had been hidden in parables from the foundation of the world.  He refused to speak to the masses by hiding truth in plain views.  HERMES was the LOGOS or the personal MESSENGER of the gods. As the ANTITHESIS God establishes that He always had His Word and Wisdom or Spirit (Breath) with Him.  If God wishes to ARTICULATE and make the inaudible audible He does not need a member of the TRIAD to enable Him.  God  could make a human able to speak to humans.  The always-pagan trinity which has no Biblical foundation makes a Singular Deity Who rules the universe INCAPABLE of communicating with those into whom He breathed the breath of life.

Jesus of Nazareth was of the seed of Abraham and David. He was not Lord or Christ until God made Him to be by giving Him authority which He did not already have.  Being in the likeness of God does not mean that God looks like Jesus of Nazareth.  That which preexisted was the WORD of God which is always idenfified as His SON which He begot.

Jesus is now in the form of KURIOS not THEOS

Philippians 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, kenoō, left empty, poured out
        and took upon him the form [likeness, image] of a servant,
        and was made in the likeness of men: [Skhema morphes skhema appearance]

Jesus of Nazareth WAS a man: the Seed of Abraham. Therefore, it was the BREATH and MOUTH of God which took on the likeness of a man.

That means that A Holy (wholly) Spirit God Who speaks universes into existence does not look like a man.  Nevertheless, that power exercised in Breath and Word was personified in a lowly human Who could never get on the lecture circuit.

Whatever state the spirit of Christ existed in, Jesus could not have been in the FORM of God on earth: He gave that up.

Wayne Jackson:  If Christ was not fully God, i.e., existing in the “form of God,” exactly what was he? Quasi-God? Half-God? Merely appearing to be God (as certain Gnostics held)? Only perfect Man? What?

The Word of God was in the form of God: Jesus spoke only what God the Father breathed into Him. Therefore, the WORD of God as that which the ONE GOD spoke is made visible and audible in the MAN Jesus of Nazareth.

Wayne Jackson:  Some may feel that this is simply a matter of inconsequential semantics. However, sometimes semantics is quite important. Gospel truth is a message of words, and the Christian teacher needs to be accurate in the language he employs. May the Lord help us to be precise in the expression of biblical truth.

ALEXANDER CAMPBELL Christian Baptistt 1827: The Trinitarian System

1st. A word is a sign or representative of a thought or an idea, and is the idea in an audible or visible form. It is the exact image of that invisible thought which is a perfect secret to all the world until it is expressed.

2d. All men think or form ideas by means of words or images;
        so that no man can think without words or symbols of some sort.

3d. Hence it follows that the word and the idea which it represents, are co-etaneous, or of the same age or antiquity.

It is true the word may not be uttered or born for years or ages after the idea exists, but still the word is just as old as the idea.

4th. The idea and the word are nevertheless distinct from each other, though the relation between them         An idea cannot exist without a word, nor a word without an idea.

5th. He that is acquainted with the word, is acquainted with the idea, for the idea is wholly in the word.

Now let it be most attentively observed and remembered, that these remarks are solely intended to exhibit
         the relation which exists between a word and an idea, and that
         this relation is of a mental nature,
        and more akin to the spiritual system than any relation created, of which we know any thing.

It is a relation of the most sublime order; and no doubt the reason why the name Word is adopted by the apostle in this sentence
         was because of its superior ability to represent to us the divine relation existing
         between God and the Saviour
        prior to his becoming the Son of God.

By putting together the above remarks on the term word, we have a full view of what John intended to communicate.

As a word is an exact image of an idea,
         so is "The Word" an exact image of the invisible God.

As a word cannot exist without an idea, nor an idea without a word,
        so God never was without "The Word," nor "The Word" without God;

or as a word is of equal age, or co-etaneous with its idea,
        so "The Word" and God are co-eternal.

And as an idea does not create its word nor a word its idea;
        so God did not create "The Word," nor the "Word" God.

Such a view does the language used by John suggest. And to this do all the scriptures agree.

For "The Word" was made flesh,
        and in consequence of becoming incarnate,
        He is styled the Son of God, the only Begotten of the Father.
As from eternity God was manifest in and by "The Word,"
         so now God is manifest in the flesh.
As God was always with "The Word,"
         so when "The Word" becomes flesh, he is Emanuel, God with us

        And again, I will be TO him a Father,
        and he shall be TO me a Son?
Hebrews 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world,
        he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

Prīmōgĕnĭtus   As subst.: prīmōgĕnĭta , ōrum, n., the right of the first-born, birthright, Vulg. Gen. 25, 33;

Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies,
        we were reconciled to God
        by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Romans 5:11 And not only so,
        but we also joy in God theou
        through our Lord KURIOS Jesus Christ,
         by whom we have now received the atonement.

Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift.
        For if through the offence of one many be dead,
        much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace,
        which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Hebrews 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Hebrews 1:8 But unto the Son he saith,
        Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
        a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Jesus in His glorified state as Holy Spirit now sits on God's Throne in the spiritual sense as opposed to David who sat on a civil throne.

1Corinthians 15:23 But every man in his own order:
        Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
1Corinthians 15:24 Then cometh the end,
        when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father;
        when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1Corinthians 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Corinthians 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him,
        then shall the Son also himself
        be subject unto him that put all things under him,
        that God may be all in all.

Therefore, Jesus of Nazareth is the SON of God and God put all things under Him. If Jesus had been one three "god persons" then He would be INFERIOR if the Father gave Him all of the authority He had and HAS.

We were all created in the image (morphe) of God. We were created so that He could serve His people as opposed to most pagan religions where man was created as "labor saving devices" or robots to do the work of the gods so that they could eat, drink and make merry and laugh at the simple humans.
