You still are not hearing the points which have been made.
I have heard your "points" and have scripturally refuted them.
You are out of my "loop" of available information from which to formulate doctrine.
Perhaps you need to expand your loop to accept more of the Word.
Neither I myself, nor anyone else here, nor any of the apostolic writers including the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews was on any "prior earth" to hear the statement when the Father spoke it to Yeshua.
And I suppose you reject the words of Isaiah that you will be on a subsequent world in which this one will not be remembered?
Do you not see where the scribes accuse him of blasphemy for sending away/forgiving sins? This is because the Kohen Gadol was the only person on earth at the time vested with the authority from on High to send away/forgive sins, (and that was only once in a year at Yom Kippurim Atonements). If you are correct in your doctrine then the scribes were indeed correct in that Yeshua was usurping the authority of the Kohen Gadol without the Testimony of the Father to back up what things he did during his physical ministry recorded in the Gospel accounts, (see for example Matthew 9:2-6).
You assume that the Kohen Gadol still had that authority, but I say He did not, but that it was a figure of the true authority to come, since it was necessary for Christ to go in spirit after His crucifixion to the spirit world in order to teach the unrighteous spirits that they could have an opportunity to be resurrected with Him. 1 Peter 3; John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
Further, the "Kohen Gadol" appointed by Rome did not have that authority, as he was not appointed by God. Sometime after Moses and Aaron, the High priesthood was taken from the earth until the days of Jesus. It was obviously not operational by the time of Antiochus Epiphanes, and the temple was desecrated. To underline that fact, under the Maccabees the High Priest became a Roman appointment, rather than an appointment recognized and chosen by God. To even further underline that fact, Judaism is left without an earthly temple or an earthly Kohen Gadol.
It is UNRIGHTEOUS for a man to simply come along and usurp the authority of God vested in the High Priest through the Torah and then for others to be condemned simply for not believing him.
As I have indicated by the time of Jesus, the Kohen Gadol was not vested with authority from God and the Torah, but from Rome... Jesus did not simply usurp the authority of God, as He was the legal representative of the Father per the law and the manifestation of the power of the High Priesthood. He plainly spoke who He was, and was not accepted. Jesus was baptized to fulfill all righteousness as our example, and not in order to be begotten, as that occurred at His resurrection according to the plain words of Acts. Since He was begotten as the Son in His resurrection, and yet was declared as the Son of the Father from the beginning and at His baptism, He obviously was begotten as the Son in His prior resurrection.
Again, you have eliminated the WITNESS of the Father spoken at the immersion of Yeshua which bestowed upon him the authority and right to do what things the Father did through him throughout his "earthly" ministry.
According to the Codex Bezae? :crackup: Sorry, it is vice versa. I prove the witness.
And it was when he was immersed: and Luke 3:22 clearly states that the Holy One descended in SOMATIKO-BODILY form as a dove!
Here you are improperly mixing scripture. Jesus is the Holy One of the Father and Israel per scripture. He cannot descend upon Himself........
