Hello Sam - theninefruits

I was wondering if you would be able to provide some insight concerning a question I have
My question is about Php 2:5 - 7

The manuscripts say

Php 2:5 Τουτο THIS - γαρ FOR - φρονεισθω REGARD - εν IN - υμιν YOURSELVES - ο WHOM - και ALSO - εν IN - χριστω ANOINTING - ησους YAHOSHUA.

What is the passage referring to - REGARD WHAT ?

is it saying ?

REGARD THE ABOVE LISTED VIRTURES IN YOURSELVES = YOU - WHO ARE IN YAHSHUA
REGARD - having the same love, of one accord, one mind.
REGARD - esteeming others better than ourselves.
REGARD - Looking not our own things, but also look on the things of others.

and of - YAHOSHUA

:6 ος WHO - εν IN - μορφη MORPH - θεου GOD - υπαρχων EXISTED - ουχ NOT - αρπαγμον TAKING - ηγησατο JUDGMENT - το TO - ειναι BE - ισα EQUALLY - θεω GOD

:7 αλλ BUT - εαυτον HIMSELF - εκενωσεν EMPTY / VOID - μορφην MORPH OF - δουλου A SERVANT - λαβων TAKING - εν IN - ομοιωματι THE LIKENESS - ανθρωπων OF MANKIND - γενομενος HE BECAME

IS THIS ALL MEANING

Php 2:1 be in consolation in THE ANOINTING
:2 have the same love, of one accord, one mind.
:3 esteem others better than ourselves.
:4 look not our own things, but also look on the things of others.

:5 THIS FOR REGARD IN YOURSELVES WHOM ALSO IN THE ANOINTING YAHOSHUA.

YAHOSHUA
:6 WHO IN THE MORPH OF GOD, EXISTED NOT TAKING JUDGMENT TO BE EQUALLY GOD.

:7 BUT HIMSELF, EMPTY / VOID MORPH OF A SERVANT, RECEIVING IN THE LIKENESS OF MANKIND, HE BECAME.

AND THIS IS MY QUESTION.

do you think that the Trinitarian Translation is saying something different than from what the manuscripts are saying.

Here is the Trinitarian Translation

Php 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:


in summary, my real question is about the Greek manuscript intent


do you think that the manuscripts are simply saying to - REGARD THE ABOVE LISTED VALUES AND VIRTURES IN YOURSELVES = YOU - WHO ARE IN YAHSHUA

or are the manuscripts saying to - THINK / REGARD THE BELOW EXPLINATION ABOUT THE TRINITY AND DEITY OF YAHSHUA

this is of my hardest questions.

How does God intend to bring ALL mankind into his kingdom?

When the Spirit of Christ comes as a thief in the night on the last day will he find mankind walking according to the faith or power of Christ working in them. . or will they be walking by sight after their own experiences? I had a dream or vision out of the body experience.

"theninefruits, hello.
Why did God, make a garden, put a tree with a forbidden fruit in it, put Adam and Eve, plus the devil in the guise of a serpent in it, and tell Adam not to eat of the fruit. When he knew, being an omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent God, exactly what was going to happen? Bless you and good fortune with your book.

This is how God chose to have mankind fall into good and evil. It is the participation in sin that gives one the experience in what good and evil can/do accomplish. Without that knowledge
man can not become as God as mentioned in Gen 3:22.
Since it is Gods intention to have children it was thus necessary to sacrifice them temporarily to sin and death.
Jesus, who was foreordained before the foundation of the world to be the propitiation for all mankinds sin and become the first begotten from among the dead so that ALL can come
to life after having gained the knowledge and consequences of good and evil, would not be necessary unless they were sacrificed unto being servants of sin.
God works all things after the counsel of His own will. Once His will is understood the rest falls in place rather nicely.

For consideration, why did God not just simply forgive Adam and Eve at that moment instead of cursing them and all mankind, unless that was the plan from the beginning?

When God was looking for a "helpmate" for Adam in creating animals and having him name them God knew none of them would suitable for Adam. If God knew no animal would be a suitable helpmate for Adam then why did he do it?

 

[PloughBoy]

When God was looking for a "helpmate" for Adam in creating animals and having him name them God knew none of them would suitable for Adam. If God knew no animal would be a suitable helpmate for Adam then why did he do it?

What makes you think, that GOD had to “LOOK” for A “HelpMate” for Adam?
Now would you explain that thought pattern to us in detail?


Another question for you.
Did GOD have A plan before He Leap into “Chaos”?
2 thought I do believe HE created “Chaos” too.

We awaits your answer sir with, anticipation.

Gen 2:20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.

Gen 2:20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.

So God was looking and then HE decided HE had to make a “Helpmate” for ADAM. Do you think before the Foundation of Creation He didn’t have this part Figured out?

 

[Samson2020]

When God was looking for a "helpmate" for Adam in creating animals and having him name them God knew none of them would suitable for Adam. If God knew no animal would be a suitable helpmate for Adam then why did he do it?

It is an analogy to show what God Himself was feeling. With the selection of the help mate there was nothing in the creation that was suitable for Adam other than what was a part
of Adam. The same scenario with God in that in creating children there was nothing within creation suitable to be His children except a part that was contained within Him already.
We are told that the spirits of men come out from Him and shall return to Him at death.
Those who are not to be born again or quickened to spiritual life, at this time do just exactly that. The ones that are quickened in this first death time shall be the first born sons or
first fruits unto God and the Lamb. The first perfected group of children by the Father.

 

[Curtis]

So God was looking and then HE decided HE had to make a “Helpmate” for ADAM. Do you think before the Foundation of Creation He didn’t have this part Figured out?

The Lord God did not all of a sudden discover that none of the animals he formed was a suitable mate for Adam, as he knew that before the foundation of the world. So why go through all the motions of making it known in scripture if he already knew that none of them would make a suitable mate for Adam?

I already knew the answer to my question before I posted it. I was wondering if anyone else would come up with the answer.

God wanted a family of his own so he is showing us in scripture that the only way for that to work, man would have to be made in the same class as God and truly be born again by the eternal Word of God in the same way Eve had to be born (made) from Adam.

“so “GOD wanted a Family of His Own”.

Ok, why? You are doing a good job of expressing your self. Now why, would GOD wanted to have a family of His Own.

Note: when I was a kid before grade school, little blacks families could not buy “Encyclopedias” Such as “Britannia” until “World Books” Encyclopaedia came available to black families. Then we were allowed to purchase World Books, but still not “Britannica”.
Before “World Books” purchases could be made we could buy a set of Books called “Who Why and How”.
I am quite sure many Baby Boomers remember that set.
A 5 Book Set, with Printed Introduction pages with my Full name and greetings as a Gift from my Parents with introduction of “ World History, World Science, Poetry & Literature, The Industrial World, and a very Thick & Large Dictionary of Words & Colorful pictures and Black & White“ Threw out The Set. From little “Black Sambo” to “Edgar Allen Poe”! From “the Stone Age to The Jet Age”
Before I got to “Kindergarten” I was a “WHO, HOW and WHY” child, and still one.

WHO, made The Universe and all Creation, and HOW, he Did it, and WHY did He do it!

Then one day in 1977, I got a real answer. And I ain’t been the same since.
Now you know my driving force! Humble beginnings, like many.

“All things works together for those who love GOD and called according to HIS purpose”! [Both, past, Future and present] which shall be Revealed on “That Coronation Day”

Now is that not Good News for us, not them but us.

PS. Now, I am asking you “Why” you say He wanted a Family.

 

[Curtis]

That is a hard question to answer. I believe when God said, "....it is not good for man to be alone...."
I think that could be a clue to us as to why maybe God himself is revealing His heart to us and that he did not want to be alone. We know that there are an innumerable amount of angels, but angels were not made in the image of God. They were not in the same class, or type as men. Angels do not have God living inside them as we do. They do not have the mind of Christ. Jesus told us the Glory that his Father gave him he has given unto us so that we can be "one" with God he in us and we in him. That is pretty intimate, but that can only happen if both people are of the same class.

Act 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,
Act 17:25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.

The Lord needs nothing, but he wants someone to share his wonderful kingdom with.

Eph 2:5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Eph 2:6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Eph 2:7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

 

[Samson2020]

PS. Now, I am asking you “Why” you say He wanted a Family.

If I may.
If you were surrounded by all the things that you created you would be in a place where everything you created was limited to the scope of which you made it.
Lets say angels as an example.
Angels do the bidding of God without question as thats how they were made.
On the other hand if you were tired of always knowing everything that would be said in response to your requests as they were generated by you in the programming, then
you might seek to create beings that were capable of independent thought, thus you would be in a new area of existence.
This is why God seeks children. They will be above all angels and even judge angels.
They will be like Him and understand Him as they are generated from Him and will exist as love in the agape and be limitless, independent, spiritual beings, thus gods
of the only true God. Love from Love.
But, what you see occurring today in the world is the necessary experience in good and evil to become love for the first fruits. Thus phase 1

We live in an evil world by the wisdom of God but the evil that is sent against us is for our maturing, most would never understand that but it is the Mystery of Iniquity at work.
The evil that is sent from the Lords hand to you is enveloped by His love for you, to mature you into what He is. A progenitor of Himself, Agape love.
That evil is like a marble inside a beach ball full of agape, and cannot escape except it be wrapped in agape for the intended purpose it was sent, which is to generate more agape.

As God is all and in all when all is said and done it can be concluded that the plan worked in that all have become what the Father is, just maybe not to the same scale.
We have to keep in mind that the spirit within a man is sent out from God and always was a part of God, incapable of existing on its own, like a cell from your lung, or heart.
Once that spirit is joined with the overcoming Spirit of Jesus who was born of the Spirit of God, it is made capable of becoming a son of God just like Jesus, spiritually speaking.
Thus both the male and female parts, spiritually speaking again, are from God and cannot produce anything other than Love once matured.
Since both halves of the new creature are from the "genetics" of God the new creature must be a self sustaining, spiritual being.

Once that son has been matured he is capable of being trusted with eternal life, and limitless power, as simply knowing good and evil cannot produce love within the individual
only the doing of good and overcoming all forms of evil produces the result that God demands from each son that He welcomes into His kingdom.

These few sentences are obviously crammed to avoid a long post but I hope they answer the question enough that it improves the readers insight.

I would think it was the creature that was found not good to be alone. God had no such need to create a helpmeet .His goal was to create a wife or bris de to live with Christ our husband forever , He made mankind male and female as one creation . He made the other creatures separate male and female created he them.. In that way before the glory departed day three and dying flesh was revealed to mankind before mankind had no way of knowing they had violated the letter of the law death .( the eye witness )

They were forced to believe what their eyes see having no vision (faith) coming from God not seen. The Lord God formed mankind of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and mankind (male and female ) became a living soul. Eve was not an after thought

Genesis 1: 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him(mankind) ; male and female created he them.

He did not make Eve from Adams bone but from the whole flesh and bones. The same creation which became divided when God found pride in the His Spirit he sent called lucifer. Lucifer the false light .He was to protect the glory of salvation from false pride but rather took it upon its self as if he was the Creator. Satan or Lucifer the father of all lies is not a separate created being. And God did not kill a lamb to cloth Adam and Eve ,.Again he hid his glorious presence it departed and corrupted dying flesh appeared

Genesis 2: 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

In that way Abel is the first of a fallen creation to become a member of the bride the church .First revealed apostle sent with prophecy that was murdered by a brother as a martyr . The father of lies (legion) a murderer from that beginning.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
