Life and Death?
1 Corinthians 2:7
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Wisdom of God is mystery. However, that wisdom of glory revealed to His (Jesus) Apostles.
They have crucified the "Lord of glory".
Who is "Lord of glory"?
Ans: Jesus.
In OT "Glory of LORD" mentioned several times.
This "Glory of God", Israel or Jews considered as "JEHOVAH ".
See, following scriptures:
Leviticus 9:23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
Numbers 14:10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
Numbers 14:21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
Numbers 16:42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
1 Kings 8:11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 5:14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
2 Chronicles 7:1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.
2 Chronicles 7:2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.
Psalms 24:8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Psalms 24:10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
Psalmist says, the LORD of hosts is the " King of Glory", that is Jehovah. Right.
Now, See, Jehovah is:
"King of glory"
"LORD of hosts "
"LORD of glory "
Let's see who is Jesus?
" JESUS IS LORD OF GLORY".
Right.
Now let's see what Jehovah says.
Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Isaiah 48:11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
Jehovah says, He will not give His glory to another.
So, then Jesus is "LORD OF GLORY" , what is to be understood?
There are 2 Lord of glories are There? No, not at all.
So, we have to understand rightly and truly that, the OT God Jehovah is the same God as man, Jesus in NT God.
This truth, Jews could not understand. That's why the scriptures said:
1 Corinthians 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew:
//for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.//
I hope, you readers understood the fact.
Therefore, it is concluded that, there is only ONE GOD, that is LORD JESUS CHRIST.
The God of OT was invisible, indivisible, I infinite, eternal, Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient, cannot be seen through our freshly eyes, but Jesus as a man, seen in our eyes, containing or consisting all the above attributes, dwelt in the world.
Therefore, if anybody believe in 2 or 3 Gods (Jehovah Witness and trinitarians), they live in fools paradise and they never come to salvation.
There is only ONE name for Salvation. That is JESUS!
There is only ONE name for remission of sins. That is JESUS!
See the relevant scriptures:
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
This is the subject of Life and Death.
Live or Perish !
Choice is your's.
May God bless you.
