Here it is and no amount of spin can change it!
The WORD says: Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Who was with us? - - - - - ὁ θεός that is - ho theos. THE GOD. The child, the Son, was "GOD WITH US"
Do i detect that you are expert at tap dancing.
I do believe in Matthew 1:23 that where JESUS was, truly THE FATHER was with HIM. Which means that THE GOD("Ho Theos") was WITH HIM. I gave you Jesus' own words. Now i'm going to give the Apostle Peter's word.
No man can break Matthew 1:23. You, me or anybody. This is what i mean when I say let Scripture interpret itself. Goto 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 (ho) God(theos) was with him. The Apostle seals it. He said JESUS of Nazareth was "anointed" with the Holy Spirit and with Power and went about healing all. NOW THIS PROVES what I have said but some can't accept: The Apostle said for "GOD was with HIM". Now the KJV and all Bibles don't translate the article which is why people get confused. Biblebman, you can confirm that there is a article in front of "theos". It literally reads "for THE GOD(ho theos) was with HIM(Jesus). Now the Apostle had a chance to say JESUS did these things because HE was "GOD(theos)", but he didn't. He could have said he did these because HE was "ho theos", but HE didn't. The Apostle said because JESUS was baptized with the Spirit and performed the work, truly THE GOD was WITH HIM which fulfills what Isaiah the Prophet said concerning HIM(JESUS).
"Ho Theos" in EVERY CASE refers to only 1 PERSON and that PERSON is THE FATHER. "ho theos" and JESUS are 2 distinct Person and are NOT the same. One is THE FATHER and other is THE SON
Bibleman, are you becoming Oneness because you said that JESUS is "ho theos". I think you're pulling my leg.
This is one passage that you have NO answer for and it shows.
Jesus is GOD and it is just tearing you apart isn't it!
Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
