Neil Andi Anderson: Why Christ is so much honored by his own sheep?

Neil Andi Anderson made a long post of his belief and try to deny Christ's Deity and nature. Let go and see his claim. Red Text is my comments. -

Why Christ is so much honored by his own sheep? Here's the reason,

“We believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as the Son of God, Lord, Savior, and the Mediator between God and Man.

If that so, then you should Believe that God is the Saviour as stated in the scriptures that there is no saviour beside him (Isaiah 43:11, Isaiah 45:22, Hosea 13:4).

We accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God:

“And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, ‘Surely THIS MAN WAS THE SON OF GOD!’” (Mark 15:39, NIV, emphasis mine).

Yes, of course, and even the Father declared that he is the beloved Son (Matthew 17:5). The father even addressed him as God (Hebrew 1:8)

We accept Jesus Christ as our Lord:

“So, all the people of Israel should know this truly: GOD HAS MADE JESUS — THE MAN YOU NAILED TO THE CROSS — BOTH LORD AND CHRIST.” (Acts 2:36, New Century Version, emphasis mine)

God is the Lord of Lords, and so was Christ. Does it say something that we need to understand Christ's divinity? (Deuteronomy 10:17, 1 Timothy 6:15, Revelation 17:14, Revelation 19:16)

We accept Jesus Christ as our Savior:

“The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had murdered by hanging Him on a tree. GOD EXALTED THIS MAN TO HIS RIGHT HAND AS RULER AND SAVIOR, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.” (Acts 5:30-31, Holman Christian Standard Bible, emphasis mine)

I said it already on the first attempt, and don't make it as an excuse using Word game that distracting Christ divine nature. He is not just an ordinary man, a different being, and not a human who has a mortal and imperfect body. He is different then and he has a glorified body Now.

We accept Jesus Christ as the Mediator between man and the one true God:

“For there is one God and ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS” (I Timothy 2:5, NIV, emphasis mine)

Yes of course. Christ needs to be in a human form to complete the atonement and to end the Law. You should understand Galatians 3 to know how Christ ends it and the reason for his Sacrifice.

Because we believe that there is only one true God, the Father, thus, Jesus is not the true God, but the Son of the one true God. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself explicitly proclaimed that the Father alone is the true God and He is the Son of the one true God, whom the Father has sent:

“Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You...

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” (John 17:1,3 NKJV)

I do believe that God the Father is the father of all our spirit and the only one we prayed for and Honor (Acts 17:28-29, Romans 8:14-21), and I do believe he made a plan for us to have a body and to be tested if we are worthy to come back to him someday (Matthew 5:48). The very reasons why there are Laws and Commandments that we should keep are because it is part of his plan and that perhaps we may know how important it is to become like him and follow Christ's example (1John 3:2). Christ never asks greater things to our Father since his will must be followed (Matthew 26:42). The Father is the God of us all that we worship and through his son, we could gain access to his grace. To sum up, you people just need to understand their difference. They are different beings who have one work and purpose as one God.

To attain eternal life is to believe that the Father is the only true God, and Jesus is the one sent by the one true God. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself attests that He is indeed a man in nature:

It is not a problem to those who view it biblically, but to those who view it as Unitarianism, the problem lies in their understanding. God, the father is always the one true God as the father of our spirits. 

“As it is, you are determined to kill me, A MAN WHO HAS TOLD YOU THE TRUTH that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things.” (John 8:40 NIV, emphasis mine). 

You use this as a defense wall of your unitarian view. This has been used over and over and there you are wanted to disprove my understanding of biblical context. Will sure, let's arrange that and make it more profound -

The KJV uses the same idea on this verse -

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

So what was this all about? I will cite some of the known commentaries on this line and see if this will help our Friend figure out what Christ's words meant. See below

(40) But now ye seek to kill me--i.e., As a matter of fact, in opposition to the conduct which would characterise the true children of Abraham, ye are seeking to kill Me. (Comp. Note on John 8:37.)

A man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard (better, which I heard) from God.--The term "a man," expresses His revelation, by means of human form, of the divine truth which He heard in the pre-human state (John 8:38). The crime of seeking to kill Him is aggravated by the fact that He was One who came to tell them truth, and that from God. They seek to destroy the human life which for the sake of humanity He has assumed. - Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers 

He aggravated the charge by describing himself as a man who hath declared to you the truth which I heard from God. This is the only place where the Lord speaks of himself as "a man" (cf. Acts 17:31; 1 Timothy 2:5). He here describes himself as One who is subject and liable to their murderous passion - a man, seeing that his eternal Personality has been presented to his antagonists in the form of man. His manhood was the link of relation between the God who sent him, taught him, surrounded and enveloped him, and the consciousness of his hearers. This is the highest representation of the very conception of a Divine commission and a Divine message. They were seeking to stamp out a Divine fire, to drown a heavenly voice, to refuse and trample upon a sacred Messenger. - Pulpit Commentary

I'm not with the commentary side since they have a different form of study. I would just like to have it as an additional insight to our Friend Neil Andi Anderson. Christ came in this world in a human form, with flesh and blood as one of the purposes of his mission to atone someday of the fall. Christ, however, did not claim his divinity while on the earth since he left everything to the Father and to suffer as a human does. (John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.) This guiding truth was never taught to our dearest INC friend, but perhaps someday they come to realize that. Christ came as a human and there's no reason for him to brag about his divinity while on earth. He needs to leave everything to accomplish the Atoning Sacrifice for mankind. This means he must be human as we are human. So as the Scripture goes "A MAN WHO HAS TOLD YOU THE TRUTH" is the right approach of Christ Calling.

A simply statement of Christ but they hardly never understand because Christ says, "Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires....and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me (because you are a Mormon)(Jn.8:43)

First of all, in John 8:43 he is talking to the Jew, mostly to the Pharisees, not to Mormon. You misquote the scriptures on your cherry-picking idea. What this has to say to your claim as to don't add or diminish? And it seems like you violate your own words. 😁! Anyway, try to look at it as who can't bear the teachings of the savior. Succeeding verses specifically verse 58 tell us his existence before the Prophets and yet you like to throw a stone at him by his honest words that he exists with God before the foundation of this world. Why can't you accept that and understand his words? Let me quote it back "You are of your father the devil".
