Blind religion vs. obvious Truth.

 Denying the Deity of Christ is not just "some dirt"

Just like Bill Johnson, in his book "When Heaven Invades Earth" denied the deity of Christ (Then retracted) with this qoute.

 

"Jesus lived his earthly life with human limitations. He laid his divinity aside as He sought to fulfill the assignment given to Him by the Father: to live life as a man without sin, and then die in the place of mankind for sin."

Steve Harmon falls into this same trap.

I took the time to take a few screenshots 

So first we have a question based on his post about God not having power unless we release it. The same God who created heaven and earth is some how cowering in a little box till we release him. So here is the question

 

 


Here was Steve's response 

 

WHAT???? Jesus emptied himself out??? The Father is not in control?????? 

Jesus is fully God, The Father is Fully God, The Spirit is fully God 

this has nothing to do with Calvinism, but denying the very nature of God

As a person who has read Acts a lot, let me say Acts is a historical book chronicling the early church. It is not the Gospels, It is not a letter of instruction. It is historical in nature, hence forth we do not build doctrines from it. As for Peter praying, are referencing Acts 3? it is really simple, God used these people as examples. There was no Bible yet written, so these signs followed them. Just as they did Jesus in John 9

As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. (John 9:1-3 ESV)

Notice this mans blindness existed solely so God's power could be made known. No sin caused it, God needed an example. The passage below enforces this further. It also shows God does what he pleases Psalm 115:3 and 135:6

 For this is what the promise said: “About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.” And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

(Romans 9:9-18 ESV)
