Claim: Jesus saves. Not any organization, Jesus, personally, saves. He has not appointed ANY organization to supplant the roles he reserves for himself.
Response:
Not according to the bible.
He has in fact many abodes, which signifies “house”, such as a house of kings, an organization of the called, chosen and faithful, Rev 17:14.
(Matt26:29)
“But I tell YOU, I will by no means drink henceforth any of this product of the vine until that day when I drink it new with YOU in the kingdom of my Father.”
So he has invited by God’s will others into the ultimate organization of God, the Kingdom of God.
(Matt21:43)
“The kingdom of God will be taken from YOU and be given to a nation producing its fruits.”
He has given it to the “Israel of God”, the “New Creation”; (Gal6:15,16)
(Matt25:34)
“Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, YOU who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for YOU from the founding of the world.”
He gives them the kingdom as his own, as co-heirs with himself.
(Luke12:32)
“Have no fear, little flock, because YOUR Father has approved of giving YOU the kingdom”
It’s not the whole flock, but a portion of it.
(Luke 22:28)
“However, YOU are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; 29 and I make a covenant with YOU, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom, 30 that YOU may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.”
He makes a covenant with them for a Kingdom. The are to be kings and priests in that kingdom.
(1Pet2:9-10)” But YOU are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession, that YOU should declare abroad the excellencies” of the one that called YOU out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
10″ For YOU were once not a people…”
(So they are not dependant on those who are a people, Israel, or ANY other single national people, they are adopted by God as a new creation. Gal6:15)
(John1:11)
“He came to his own home, but his own people did not take him in. 12 However, as many as did receive him, to them he gave authority to become God’s children”
They are Jesus brothers, and if a family is not an orgnized unit of the basic design, than what is? This is God’s family, Jesus is the door* into that house, a Kingdom of 144,000.
(Heb2:10-13)
“For it was fitting for the one for whose sake all things are and through whom all things are, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Chief Agent of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he who is sanctifying and those who are being sanctified *ALL STEM FROM ONE, and for this cause he is not ashamed to call them “brothers,” 12 as he says: “I will declare your name to my brothers… “Look! I and the young children, whom Jehovah gave me.”
So, it is not Jesus alone. He is the sacrifice, leader, primary shepherd, the main prophet, the word of God, the way, the door, the gate, and all those things indicate he would be LEADING others, the children of God through himself, for more future missions.
God is perfectly organized, and no one is by-passing Jehovah’s way to the truth and the life without truth first, a fake “Jesus” will prove powerless, such as the many out there.
Jesus led to the 12, and that led to the 144,000, and that is the one flock, the composite of the Kingdom in heaven, and it’s first subjects on earth, as Har-Magedon survivors, or as the resurrection of the righteous, where Jesus will ALSO include the holy prophets of old, to give them their reward, everlasting life.
Jesus is very organized, and perfectly equipped to be called the Eternal Father as the Last Adam of earth’s humanity, and the main son of Jehovah for also being part of Jehovah’s heavenly family of former humans Jesus calls brothers, the 144,000, ALL Fathered by Jehovah.
It’s a Kingdom calling for future work, starting in power at Har-Magedon as a final phase leading to the 1000 year reign.
