Dake Bible Discussion Board ⇒ Jesus Christ and His Anointing

[Justaned]

I deny none of that so what is the point? The fact that Jesus laid down the use of his Godly power does not separate Him from God it only means he limited Himself to have the same experience as man.

Ed,...

And as a man he needed the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit!

Classic YOUR denomination AG teaching.

Right?

But again that is not like the infilling of the Holy Spirit of man nor is it like the anointing Samuel and Samson had. It was an anointing or appointment or charge given only to Jesus Christ to accomplish all that He did.

Thank you for your gracious and loving comment. I'm sure Christ was edified by it.

I'm sorry I caused you such consternation. I evidently did not express myself as clearly as I intended or desired.

The question was raised if God never leaves us or forsakes us what about passages that say God removed his anointing from Saul and Samson of the old Testament. I tried to explain that in the Old Testament the anointing of the Holy Spirit wasn't the same as the New Testament. In the old Testament people were empowered or appointed/anointed by the Holy Spirit to accomplish as task God had set before them. Saul to be the King of Israel and Samson to drive out the pagans that were killing the Jews.

Both men lost the empowerement but as proven by Samson's prayer they were still heard by God and God moved in on their behalfs. They weren't forsesaken of God.

Then some one tired to tie this back to Jesus' anointing. The inference was that Jesus was nothing before he was anointed with the Holy Spirit the same Holy Spirit anointing man can have.

That is nonsense. Jesus was the Son of God before and after the events of Matthew 3 where God said this is MY Son. God didn't say NOW He is my Son.

Yes Jesus laid down his Godly power to come to earth but He could pick them up at any moment, as seen in his testimony that could command legions of angels to come to His rescue.

So while we say Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit being God in the form of man the Holy Spirit was an indivisable part of Jesus since the beginning.

Most certainly the anointing of Jesus was not the same as indwelling of man by the Holy Spirit as is taught be some false teachers.

Now Macca if this all sounds cultic to you then I suggest you read some systematic theology works done by the men you so respect. I think you will find we are in agreement with the exception of the teaching of many that if we have enough faith we can be equal to the Jesus.

.

As He is by your words?

"So while we say Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit being God in the form of man the Holy Spirit was an indivisable part of Jesus since the beginning."

.

In what way is the Holy Spirit an indivisable part of Jesus since the beginning?

in·di·vis·i·ble
/ˌindəˈvizəbəl/Adjective
1. Not divisible; unable to be divided or separated.

Maybe they were joined a the hip? The Holy Spirit and the Word, who became Jesus are two separate and distinct persons.
