Interesting misquotation there. Whether it’s deliberate or unintentional, it’s telling. Matt 28:18 doesn’t say Jesus “has” all power in heaven and earth. It says he has “been given” all power in heaven and earth.
Wrong. There is no misquotation. If I gave you ALL the Gold and Silver in the world, you have it ALL. ALL means ALL. Look it up in the dictionary if you want. It is completely irrelevant that I gave it to you. Your argument is illogical. It violates the law of non-contradiction.
As I repeatedly point out to you and you pretend not to grasp - the problem is not with the bible. The problem is you trying to superimpose a materialistic description of man on the scriptures that utterly rejects it. This is obviously due to your previous WT training which in many ways you still hold in high regard. It was all poison, not just some of it.
Soul, body and spirit of men are all spoken of with pronouns in the bible denoting personhood. We even have sayings that prove that deep down we all know the biblical definition is true. For instance, someone may say "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak". We all experience this from time to time, especially as the body ages. Both the body and the spirit is self.
When the spirit of Samuel was summoned by Saul, Samuel identifies his spirit as "me", even though his body was long gone. “Samuel said to Saul, ‘Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?’” (1 Samuel 28:15).
You are not fooling anyone with your feigned ignorance. You are a smart guy. But this has nothing to do with intelligence.
The two scriptures listed in the chart below is what you reject, alongside the triune nature of God. Jesus, as a man REQUIRES all three components to meet the definition requirements of a "man". God is a spirit. This make Jesus fully man, and fully God at the same time.
As long as you hold on to a modern, materialistic definition of the nature of man being a body only, with no immaterial self, you will never understand the nature of God. I believe you are simply ashamed of a suffering, dying God who made you. I am not ashamed of him. That is the difference between you and I .
