MZTV 1373: We Could Never Have Been Saved By One Who Was "Fully One of Us"

Anyone reading the Scriptures naturally, that is, without professorial or professional theological input, cannot help but reach the conclusion that the Son of God had a glory with the Father before He entered our world at Bethlehem. I cannot see any way possible that a natural reading of Scripture—that is, a reading of it as a child, that is, simply believing the words on the page—could cause anyone to look up from the page and say, “Jesus Christ did not exist before Bethlehem.”Show more

The theory of the non-preexistence of Christ, therefore, is a construct. It is a forced, ARTIFICIAL reading imposed upon those inclined to not be satisfied with the simple words on the page, who don’t really want to believe as children, but who rather wish to possess (even if only subconsciously) some sort of “special knowledge,” a secret, complicated insight granted to few. The possessors of such special knowledge might then consider themselves (even if only subconsciously) superior to the “simple people” who find themselves at the additional disadvantage of believing something that happens to align with Christian tradition.

There is a new player at the Non-Preexistence table: Mary Catherine. This woman makes the startling announcement in the comment section of one of my most recent videos that “our very hope of salvation is hinged on Jesus being one of us.” Mary Catherine also insists, later in the comment, that Jesus was “fully one of us."

"FULLY one of us?" Do I even need to detail for you the disastrous implications of such a consequential error?

Okay.
