What Holy Father? Jesus Christ is the Son. Where in the bible do you find Christ called "Holy Father?" The phrase "Holy Father" occurs just once in the bible in the prayer of God the Son to God the Father:God not. a creation
So then Christ the Messiah is not the one good infallible teaching, and the Son of Man Jesus is ?
Which one the Holy Father or the Son of man Jesus ?
“And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top [is] in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."” (Ge 11:4 NKJV)
You keep ignoring all the times where the bible makes it abundantly clear that "Jesus" and "Christ" are not separate from each other. We are told many times that Jesus is the Christ. We even have the testimony of the Saviour Himself:
“And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?" But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."” (Mr 14:60-62 NKJV)
Why did the Saviour ask that question? I would say it was to lead the young man to acknowledge Who the Saviour really is. As John Gill wrote in his commentary on that verse: "Why callest thou me good? This is said, not as denying that he was good, or as being angry with him for calling him so, but in order to lead this young man to a true knowledge of him, and his goodness, and even of his proper deity:"Mark 10:17-18;. And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. (not Jesus the Son of man)
John 6 contains these words:Online etymology dictionary c. 1300, Messias, a designation of Jesus as the savior of the world, from Late Latin Messias, from Greek Messias, from Aramaic (Semitic) meshiha and Hebrew mashiah "the anointed" (of the Lord), from mashah "anoint." It is thus the Hebrew equivalent of Christ, and it is the word rendered in Septuagint as Greek Khristos (see Christ).
Grace does not come from Jesus the Son of man. He as a aposlte sent by the Father informs us his flesh profits for zero. (John 6)
“Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.” (Joh 6:53 NKJV)
That doesn't say that His flesh profits for zero! He continues:
“Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. "For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.” (Joh 6:53-56 NKJV)
Then come the words about flesh profiting nothing:
“When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you? "[What] then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (Joh 6:61-63 NKJV)
He cannot be meaning His own flesh, because He had already said that His flesh is food indeed.
I don't know what that means.What did profit is the living word it is spirit life giving it does come from the infallibly teaching master or Rabbi all glory to the Holy Father not seen.
