Do Christians know the difference between the Man Jesus and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God Almighty. Most Christians do not know.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "... in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Evangelical Christians quote this verse. But it is just like parrots speech; nothing has changed in them; and they are as evil as they were before. But they claim that they are new creature, and they are in Christ. Sadly, this is our Christianity, and it is all fake. We have learned to say phrases from the bible; but we do not even know the difference between the Man Jesus and God Jesus Christ. Verse 5:14&15, {"14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again."} say, since Jesus died for us, leaving his place vacant, we must live as he lived in his place, as we are dead and he is living, that is, we must be the replacement for him. {"16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more."} Verse 16 reaffirms that even his disciples forgot the man Jesus, and they are looking at God Jesus Christ; and we must also realize that the man Jesus is dead, we are living in his place, and we must also be looking at God Jesus Christ. Then {"17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."} verse 17 says, now we are new creature. As a man, he was killed. God raised him from his death, ascended him to heaven, made him Lord, Christ, begotten Son, and anointed him as God, as he was 'God the Word' before; and his new name is 'God the Son', or the 'only begotten Son'. And so, now he exists as the Lord Jesus Christ in the Spirit, who is Almighty God. "Revelation 11:17 Says, ..., O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, ...." 'God the Word' is the only one, who has laid all his omnipotent powers down, became a Man, and then taken the great power back to him as he has become God again. So here in this context, God Almighty is the Lord Jesus Christ, and he is no longer a Man. The Man Jesus does not exist anymore. Now Man Jesus is another Jesus.He was God the Word, in the omnipotent Spirit, was the creator of all things that exist, from atom to the biggest star. Why did he become a mere man like you and me, lower than an angel to die? {"Hebrews 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels;..."} Let us see just the important reasons. Hebrews 10:9 says, "9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second." So, God the Word become Man Jesus to remove the old testament order and to establish the New. Jesus took away the animal Sacrifices by sacrificing himself. He took away the old priesthood and the interceding ministry of preachers; by presenting himself as the high priest in the order of Melchisedec, as the only mediator and intercessor between God and people. He took away all the old covenants and ordinances and replaced them with his own commandments. He took away the temple and said that he will not enter in the temple made by the hands of men anymore. That is, God will not be in the churches and allowed Satan to enter the worship places to receive the worship of people. And so, the presence of God will not be in our churches; but the presence of Satan, who is another Jesus will be in all worship places, and Christians are worshipping another Jesus, who is Satan, and do not even know it. It is according to the bible. It is in Acts 7:48, 17:24&25, Matthew 24:1&2, John 24:21-24, 2 Thessalonians 2:4, and in Revelation 13:6-8. {"Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? ... Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; ... Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. ... John 24:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. ... 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. ... 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. ... Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."} In the old testament there are many great men that we love to follow, like: Job, Abraham, Moses, David, and many such people. But their living structure and set up is no longer available, and the kingdom in this world is taken away and it is replaced by the kingdom of heaven by the gospel. It is by Jesus Christ, and he says in Matthew 4:17 and in Mark 1:15, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand; ... and believe the gospel." So, let us change our minds from running after the old testament and the old covenants, ordinances and such; and follow the new covenant and the kingdom of God in heaven. But unfortunately our churches are established by the modified version of the old testament priesthood, with offerings, including tithes, in the pretense of giving money to God, to get his favor. We worship God in rituals and ceremonies instead of being in the Spirit and in truth. Nothing is done in the churches according to Jesus Christ. Yet, all Christians believe that we are following the true God, and we are truly the people of God. It is not true. Christianity is just another religion.
'God the Word' became a mere man of flesh, and he was Jesus. When he was a mere man, he has done many miracles by the power of God the Father and of the Holy Ghost. About 37 miracles of the Man Jesus were recorded in the new testament. He has turned water into wine, fed thousands from a few fishes and few loafs of bread, healed the blind, lepers, paralyzed, palsy, and many others. He walked on the water, calmed the sea, raised the dead, and has done many other miracles. {The first one was that Jesus turns water into wine at a wedding in Cana; It is in John 2:1–11. Jesus healed many people from their sickness; the son of a noble man, in John 4:46-54, a paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda, in John 5:1–15, the man born blind at the pool of Siloam, in John 9:1–7, a paralyzed man lowered through a roof, in Mark 2:1–12, healed the lepers, in Matthew 8:1-3, servant of a centurion was healed of palsy, in Matthew 8:5-13, and there were many other healings by Jesus is recorded in the new testament. Jesus fed thousands with just a few fishes and few loaves of bread, it is in Matthew 14:16–21 & in John 6:1–15. Jesus walks on the water across the Sea of Galilee, it is in Matthew 14:22–33 & in John 6:16–21. Jesus commands the wind and waves to be still Matthew 8:23–27. Jesus brings Lazarus back to life after four days in a tomb, it is in John 11:1–45. He raised a widow's son, and the daughter of Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, from death, they are in Luke 7:12-16 & 8:41-56.} It is no surprise that people want to accept the Man Jesus as God and worship him as God. But the bible says that Man Jesus was made by sinful flesh to die. But God is, the one Spirit, who is Omnipotent. {If you like to see the details, please refer to this link: "The True God."} Jesus was a man in the flesh, and he did not live as God. Further Jesus says in John 5:19-21, {"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. 20 For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will."} that God the Father is doing all the miracles, the healings, the raising of the dead, and everything, behind him, but he was showing himself in the front. He also told his disciples to do the same miracles that he has done. It is in Matthew 10:7&8. {he says, "7... as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."} His disciples also have done the same miracles that Jesus has done. So, if the man Jesus was God because of his miracles, then the disciples were also Gods. His ministry was for three years, religious people killed him, and now he does not exist anymore. Apostle Peter says in 1 Peter 2:21&22, {"21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:"}, the life of the Man Jesus was an example for us to live as he lived, with no sin; of course with the power of God. But Christians worship the Man Jesus as God and has become like Hindus, who worship legend men as Gods. But Christianity must be the way of life with power, becoming children and Sons of God, to inherit the kingdom of God.
If you are born of the Spirit, the Spirit world would be real. But if you play religion, nothing is real even if it appears to be real. All our worships are rituals and ceremonies. Our song services are excellent, but God never asked us to sing for him. We give our best offerings and even tithes to God to meet his needs, since the Creator God of the universe, is badly in need of our money. Nothing we do in churches are required by God. Our priesthood, pastors, preachers, and prayer warriors, are not by God. If we want to worship the true God Jesus Christ, who is in the omnipotent Spirit, what all we must do is to obey him; that is, do only what he tells us to do. Then, he will take us over, give us his Spirit, make us born again, guide us by his Spirit, manifest in us, destroy the works of the devil in us, adopt or beget us as his Sons; and then we will inherit his kingdom as his children and Sons. But Christians follow the ways of Hindus, worshipping the legend of Man Jesus as God. If you do not believe what I say, think of this: If someone ask you who your God is; what will be your reply? #1, You may say that he is Jesus, who has done good to people by miracles, and died for you on the cross, to save you from the punishment for your sins. You will call him Jesus Christ. #2, Will you say that your God is omnipotent Spirit, who has created the whole universe with everything in it, from atom to the biggest stars in the sky, and is still creating. Further, this God became a man and died, and become the author of salvation, not only to save the obedient people, but also to make them his children and sons to inherit the kingdom of God in heaven. Tell me, who is your God in this two? Is it #1 or #2? 99% of Christians will say that he is Jesus Christ, who died for them. This is an accepted lie. The Man Jesus was never God, and God cannot die. And Man Jesus neither die for people, nor for you, nor for me, but he died for himself to become the author of salvation. And as the Savior, Jesus Christ will turn the sins away, only from the obedient people. Then he forgives their past sins, since they will not do sins in the future. So, as God, Jesus Christ will adopt them; that is, he will beget them as the Sons of God. They will inherit the kingdom of God. And all the rest will perish in the lake of fire.
We saw in our last study that the resurrected Jesus was made Lord, Christ, and God; and he saves people. Please refer to this link: "Saving is by turning sins away." And now, the Lord Jesus Christ is in the Spirit, he is God Almighty, he is in the world turning people away from their sins as in Acts 2:36, and purify unto himself as in Titus 2:14, and Ephesians 5:26&27. {"Acts 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. ... Titus 2:14 says, Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. ... Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."} Jesus Christ is in the Spirit, doing this work for the last 2000 + years. But Hebrews 9:28 says "...; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time ... unto salvation." So, the resurrected God Jesus Christ comes only to those who are looking for him, and he will save only them. So, if you do not look for him with obedience, he will ignore you as he does not even exist. Christians ignore this salvation, play church, and enjoy the social and religious status. How about you? You may believe the author of salvation, the Savior, and Jesus Christ in the Spirit.

Matthew 28:20, & Mark 16:15. Jesus Christ preached his commandments to obey, as his
Gospel; it is the true Gospel to inherit Eternal life. Genesis 3:1-4 & 2 Corinth 11:2-4. But Preachers, who are Serpents of Satan, preach the life of man Jesus just to believe, but not to live as a chaste virgin, as the gospel; it is another gospel, which cannot and will not give Eternal life.The true gospel will convert evil people to do good and thereby they will inherit the kingdom in heaven
. John 3:19-21 say that people are two kinds, evil and true. Evil doers will not come to the Light, who is God; but people of truth come to God for their deeds to be made manifest. We have good and evil people by our standard of our society or culture. These evil people may be converted to be doers of truth by the power of God, and they may inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
