The Immutability of God
THE GOD-MAN NOTES By Paul B Thomas #03 The immutability of God - January 12, 2021 “I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”—Malachi 3:6 IMMUTABILITY: The ancient Christian doctrine of God's immutability states that God doesn't change, has never changed, and will never change. (Dictionary.com) “For I, the Lord, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. (Malachi 3:6) Psalm 102:25-27 “Of old You founded the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. “Even they will perish, but You endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed. “But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end. The unchangeable Deity. The God who keeps his promises and abides by his own word constantly and continually. What kind of God would he be if he changed as much as man changes. Man changes his preaching to suit his audience and generation, he loves to be relevant and well received. God however has the same mind, manners and mentality as he did when he approached Noah, Abraham, Jacob and now…
The Son of God Question.
Why is Jesus called the Son of God if he was God? The answer is he is called the 'Son of God' according to the flesh ( Romans 1:3,4). He is not called the Son of God in the Old Testament yet he existed as God in the Old testament. The New testament then reveals that God took on flesh and was born of a woman. He was the Son of David and the Son of (Abraham Matt1:1). yet neither Abraham or David bore a son called Jesus. He was supposed as the Son of Joseph and the Son of Mary (Luke 3;23 Mark 6;3). yet Joseph was not his physical Father. Jesus refers to himself as The 'Son of God' and once as the 'Son of man.' Once as the only begotten of the Father. Five times in Johns gospel John 1;14,18;3,16,18 1 John4;9. The term 'only begotten' is used of Abraham's Son Isaac (Hebrews 11;17) yet Isaac was in another sense not the only begotten Son. Ishmael was also his Son. Similarly we today as believers born of his spirit as the 'sons of God' (1 John 3;2). not as phyiscal Sons of God but as those born…
God V The Wicked.
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel...(Psalm 2:1-9) God sits as Judge in the courts of heaven having no law but his own. He has both salvation and damnation at his request and no one can question him. He putteth down one and arises another. The world is his diocese and even royalties, kings and princes are subject to him. Here in this scripture…
God!
God calls the Word 'God' in Hebrews, 'but unto the son he saith, they throne O God is forever a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom' (Hebrews 1;8). The Apostle Paul calls him the 'True God.' And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding that we may know him that is TRUE. And we are in him that is TRUE, This is the TRUE GOD and eternal life. (1 John 5:20). So this TRUE GOD has a Throne, and is ETERNAL LIFE. Called (as a man, in his sonship the Son of God! No other God has a throne and is called Eternal Life. this is the God man Jesus Christ! Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the GREAT GOD, and our SAVIOUR Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13). Christ giving himself, O we are so so familiar with the text of John 3;16 that tells us 'God gave his Son' that we forget many other texts that tell us that 'Christ give himself'
The SECRET name of God
Jacob said, Tell me...thy name. (God said) wherefore is it that thou..ask after my name (Gen 32:29). Manoah said, what is they name? God said why askest thou...seeing it is a SECRET. (Judges 13:18). Who has ascended up into heaven or descended?...what is his name? (Prov 30:4). Moses said, they shall say to me what is his name? God would not tell so he said, I am that I am (Exodus3:13). My people shall know my name in that day (Isaiah 52:6). That day, this means people did not know his name or world not know his name until that day. the day when he took on flesh and was born as a son. The hidden name, hidden till time God took on flesh! Why because humans cannot know a thing till it takes on flesh, only then can it be given a name (Luke 3:38). God unknown is known by his name. to simply say 'I believe in God' is to say I believe in the unknown God such as it was in Pauls day. when he beheld an altar devoted TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. (Acts 17:23) whom therefore ye ignorantly worship declare I unto you.... He is LORD…
Jesus the One True God
JESUS IS THE ONE GOD YET HIMSELF ONE WITH GOD| As man he was God yet as Son he was the Son of God. As man he was the Son of God yet as God he was the only God. “Hear O Israel the Lord thy God is one Lord." The "Lord thy God" The Lord he is God! Jesus is Lord! The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty (Zeph 3;17 ). There is only one God. Why Did Moses say "one Lord" why did not the prophet say one God? There are not two Lords, in the Old we have the "Lord God" and in the new we have the "Lord Jesus." However the Lord he is God! The Lord Jesus is the Lord God and there is only one Lord. In summary. JESUS IS GOD! (Psalm 100:3 Deut 6:4).
