is GOD humble?

(1/4) > >>

gallenwalsh:
It’s an amazing thing, God is perfect, He knows He is perfect, all wise, all knowing, all love - perfect.  But Jesus Christ as God, is humble.  It just doesn't seem to go together, but actually it fits very nicely.  Now it doesn't say that the Father is humble, not that He is vain.  But it does not say He is humble...........................This is a quote from one of Ray's papers. The question I have is this: If the spirit of GOD dwells in Jesus Christ and Christ is truly humble,and Christ is the image of the Father, is the Father then  humble also ? I do not get where Ray is coming from and how he comes up with that one.Can someone expound. Thanks !

Created being?
I thought He was begotten.
Vanity and humility are carnal traits surely?
Or are we still seeing God in human terms?

Jesus tells us that the words He speaks are His Father's words:

John 14:24 He who is not loving Me, is not keeping My words. And the word which you are hearing is not Mine, but the Father's Who sends Me."


Among those many words of His Father, were these words:

Mat 11:29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.


Jesus also tells us that:

John 14:9 Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?


Every word He spoke, everything He did was His Father doing the works - John 14:10. It seems axiomatic to me that the Father is humble, seeing that Jesus, Who is humble, is the "very image of God". II Corinthians 4:4

I accept that Christopher.
But John, a created being?

Hi Gallenwalsh,

Though Jesus "is the image of God" the Father (2Co 4:4) and He states "I and My Father are one" (John 10:30), He is not the Father. The Father and Jesus are two separate entities, and Jesus Christ readily admits that the Father is greater than He and above all including Himself.

John 14:28  You have heard Me say to you, "I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, "I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.

Eph 4:6  one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

The Father is self-existing and all that there is comes from Him, through Jesus Christ.

1Cor 8:6  yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.

Now Jesus Christ is humble because He knows all this about His Father. But the Father has nothing to be humble about. That's not arrogance, that's just the truth, because arrogance is one who exalts their worth or importance and of course there is nothing more impartant or above or before the Father, He is the Supreme Being of all.

mercy, peace and love
