18:59:00
Who being in the form of God thought it not robberry to be equal with God; But made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servent and was made in the likeness of men -Philippians 2:6-7
According to the above verse our Christian scholars try to explain the point that though really Jesus was (is) the Almighty God, he gave up his all divine powers in the heaven and he came in this world with empty hands and made himself of no reputation. Those that do not have the proper understanding of the Bible and who do not think in logical way they misunderstand the above verse. But those who are having the minimum knowledge of the Bible they may ask the following questions, for which those that believe Jesus as God should give the answers.
1. Whose narration is this?
1. Did Jesus himself say anywhere in all his teachings that he gave up his all divine powers in the heaven and came in to this world with empty hands?
Answer : No, we cannot find such statements as to have been preached by Jesus in his ministry.
(OR)
2. Did Jehovah reveal about Jesus like that?
Ans: No, Jehovah did not say anywhere from the Book of Genesis to Malachi. The doctrine of Jesus’ incarnation has been invented by Paul. What right that paul had to intervene in the teachings of Jesus? Jesus has shown the correct way as how one can attain the salvation? In this regard the question comes whether paul or any others have any chance to preach beyond the limits of the teahings of Jesus. What is the answer of your self conscience to this question? Our self conscience answers for this question that we should obey strictly to the teachings of Jesus and should not preach in contarary way, and neither a word be added nor be removed. If we dare to do so it can be termed as a great sin. Now let us observe the first point whether Jesus is equal to Jehovah in reality? In this regard let us directly ask to Jesus himself instead of asking to others.
Jesus...
...for my Father is greater than I -John 14:28
After the above crystal clear proclamation of Jesus if anybody try to keep Jesus on par with Jehovah, can there be any greater transgression? Therefore if one proclaims "I do not believe Jesus as the Christ or Messiah" then it can be regarded as the direct rejection of Jesus or if any proclaim "I believe Jesus as God" then also it can be termed as the indirect rejection of Jesus. If the rejection be in direct perspective or indirect, under these two attitudes it is no more than complete rejection of Jesus. In such case is there any chance to get the salvation to those that reject Jesus either by direct means or indirect?
On the other hand let us see whether Jehovah has revealed anywhere that there is one person who is equal to him. But we can not find any where such statements in the revelations of Jehovah. Contrary to this we can find the clear statement of Jehovah as follows.
Jehovah...
I am God there is none like me -Isaiah 46:9
Inspite of clear exhortation of Jehovah as above; if anybody is having the opinion that Jesus is equal to Jehovah, it is a sheer contradiction to the revelation of God. Those who are having the contrary beliefs to the teachings of Jesus and God, should decide themselves whether they go to the eternal life or hell. If we ask ourselves whether it is so serious a matter that effects our eternal life, we can ascertain its proper answer from the following Jesus’ saying.
He that rejecth me and receiveth not my words hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day -John 12:48
As a matter of fact sucess on the day of judgment is the real success of every believer. Because on the final judgment, God will decide the destiny of every one. And according to the above verse whose word shall be taken in to the consideration ? means basing on whose word God will give the final judgment to the believers? To this question Jesus makes clear in the above 'The word that he has spoken, the same shall judge on a self in the last day'. Therefore according to this 3 4 warning of Jesus every believer should always examine carefully whether his beliefe is in accordance with the word of Jesus or should follow others. According to Jesus God is greater than him. But some Christian brothers argue that Jesus and Jehovah both are equal...? But our firm belief is that if one wants to attain the kingdom of God they should believe and act according to the word of Jesus. Contrary to this whosoever speaks against the word of Jesus and that who follow in accordance with their fictitious way definitely go to the eternal hell, and it is certain, if you find us having contrary belict to that of Jesus’ teachings you are requested to recorrect us. If you ask us why you believe only the word of Jesus as true? then Jesus answers to this questin on behalf of us in the following Biblical verse.
For I have not spoken of my self; but the father which sent For I have not spoken of my self; but the father which sent me, he gave me a commandment wht I should say and what me, he gave me a commandment wht I should say and what I should speak - -John 12:49
As according to the above exhortation of Jesus one can notice conspicuously that there is no any deceit or selfishness in the nature of Jesus. This is why the prophecy says about him "neither was any deceit in his mouth" (Isaiah 53:9).
Therefore can anybody believe confirmly that Paul also having the equal sacredness and reputation just as Jesus? No, because Jesus never preached anywhere of his own words in his whole ministry except that of what he had been enjoined upon him. Thus he has fulfilled his duty whole heartedly. So those who want to become true christians they should mend their beliefs as propounded by Jesus. In the above verse Jesus makes clear that he has spoken only according to the commandment of Father. And Jehovah declares himself clearly that there is in one like himself (Isaiah 46:9). In accordance to this revelation of God, Jesus proclaimes openly regarding the suprimacy of God that his Father is greater than him (John 14:25). And again Jesus exhorts in clear terms that his Father is greater than all (John 10:29). Thus we can find that all teahcings of Jesus are corroborating in comparision with the words of Jehovah. Therefore one should believe and obey only the teachings of Jesus. And if anybody however great person one may be, preaches contrary to the teachings of Jesus we should reject him.
As according to the discussion made so far it is made known that in the view of Paul, both Jesus and Jehovah are equal. But the former one says that there is none like him and the later one confirmining the Jehovah's word says that his Father is greater than him. So those who want to attain the everlasting life without coming into the judgement they should believe and obey to the clear exhortations of Jesus as Jehovah is greater than all. Why should we believe so? The answer is given by Jesus in the following.
He that rejecteth me, and recieveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the dord that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. shall judge him in the last day. -John 14:48
At the time of judgement basing on whose word God will give the final judgement? Jesus gave the answer in the above that basing on the words, which he spoke the judgement will be given to his followers by God in the last day. This is to mean as saying that the final judgement will not be given basing on the doctrins of Paul or of any others. Therefore those who want to attian the salvation through Jesus their beliefs and acts should be in accordance with the word of Jesus. As a result he will be given the favourable judgement by God. But, on contrary to this those who follow in accordance with the others, fictitous ways undoubtedly they will become liable for the eternal chastisements of God. However let us examine the statement of Paul in an another way
