David--"I do believe we will be like Jesus. My dilemma is this. If the SAME Jesus is coming back, and we are going to be like Him, then why do we not know what we shall be? IMO, we have been recreated in Christ Jesus and two have become one by the new birth, that is man(one) received The Holy spirit(one, His seed) and we became a new creation of God the Father, His child. Do I understand this? No, but I know the Holy Spirit was given to me.
Since Jesus is going to be God/man throughout eternity, will we also be God/man like our Lord? If not, how would we fellowship with Him?
>>"then why do we not know what we shall be?" We only know imperfectly what we shall be. The revealed knowledge in the Word of God plus whatever insights the Holy Spirits reveals to us individually is all we know.
>>Jesus said that the Scriptures called those in the OT Gods who had only received the Word of God. How much more those who are born again by the Spirit of God and then resurrected. We are in Christ and Christ is in God--we are all one. The fullness of this reality will only be fully appreciated in the resurrection.
Praise and glory to His name for what He has revealed of His mysteries.
By the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimonies we shall overcome this eveil world.
