M. Fretwell: Act 10:37    HOW  GOD   ANOINTED  JESUS   OF NAZARETH  WITH THE HOLY
GHOST AND  WITH POWER: FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM GOD RAISED  UP  THE  THIRD  DAY,
AND  SHEWED   HIM OPENLY;

Me: Yahshua never for one minute denied He was totally depended on the Father for
everything including his life, his mission and even every word he spoke.

Joh 14:10  The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father
that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Joh 3:34  For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not
the Spirit by measure [unto him].
Joh 5:19  Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what
things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Joh 7:16  Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that
sent me.
Joh 12:49  For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave
me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Heb 3:2  Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses [was faithful]
in all his house.

Yahshua the Son puts his trust in Yahweh his Father.

Heb 2:13  And again, I (Yahshua) will put my trust in him (Yahweh).

M. Fretwell: The   CHILD  was  born  in  Bethlehem.   The  SON   was  PROCLAIMED
at Jordan.  But, the scripture says that  the  SON who  was  PROCLAIMED  at
Jordan was  actually  BEGOTTEN three days and three nights AFTER  the
crucifixion.

Romans  1:3  Concerning his Son Jesus  Christ  our  Lord, WHICH WAS MADE OF THE
SEED OF DAVID according to  the FLESH;    And  declared [to be] the Son of  God
WITH  POWER, according to the SPIRIT OF HOLINESS, by the
RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD:

Me: “Declared” is Strong’s # 3724  horizo AV - determine 2, ordain 2, as it was
determined + 2596 + 3588 1, declare 1, limit 1, determine 1; total 8.
to define, to mark out the boundaries or limits (of any place or thing), to
determine,
appoint, decree, to ordain.

M. Fretwell: Acts  13:30  But God raised him from the  dead:  ----  Acts 13:33
God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, IN THAT HE  HATH  RAISED  UP
JESUS AGAIN; as it is also  written  in the  second  psalm,  THOU  ART MY  SON,
THIS DAY  HAVE  I BEGOTTEN THEE.

Me: Ps 2:7  I will declare the decree:(2706) Yahweh hath said unto me, Thou [art]
my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

“Decree” #2706 is the same word as in Rom 1:3 “declared.” Yahweh spoke this
decree and the dead Son of Man became the ever living Son of God. Without the
Father Yahshua would still be lying dead in his tomb. He owes his power and glory
to the Father Yahweh.

Heb 2:9  But we see Yahshua, who was made a little lower than the angels for the
suffering of death, CROWNED WITH GLORY AND HONOR.
Ac 5:31  Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour.

2Pe 1:17  For he received from God the Father honour and glory.

Read this passage carefully:
1 Co 15:24  Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to
God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and
power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.  26
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.  27  For he hath put all things
under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest
that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.  28  And when all things
shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him
that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Paul is quite clear in 1 Co 15:27 that the Father gave the Son power over
everyone except the Father Himself. Verse 24 tells us the Son will return this
power when cometh the end. Verse 28 declares that the Son will again be
subordinate to the Father after all enemies are subdued.

M. Fretwell: John  3:6  That which is born of the flesh  is  FLESH;  and that
which is born of the Spirit is SPIRIT.

Me: I believe what Mr. Fretwell is stating is that Yahshua was born a man, not
God in a man’s body. And that would be what the scriptures say.

Heb 2:14  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he
also
himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him
that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

M. Fretwell: What happended to the FLESH OF GOD?

Me: Yahweh took that dead body in the tomb and elevated him to the most
illustrious, most eminent and prominent place that did and could exist in the
universe (other then Yahweh’s own position) which was at the Father's right hand.

M. Fretwell: Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know  assuredly,
that  GOD HATH MADE THAT SAME JESUS,  WHOM  YE  HAVE  CRUCIFIED, BOTH LORD AND
CHRIST.
