    Numbers 21:8.....God tells Moses that he wd have to make a bronze Serpent and put him on a pole and when someone was bitten they wd have to behold the Bronze Serpent....Is this not a picture of the Church that gets bit sometimes but if we behold the lamb of God that taketh away the Sin of the world.....Our snake bite is not fatal....Jesus said that as Moses lifted up a Serpent in the wilderness Even so must the son of man be lifted up..... John 3:14.....What Moses did in the wilderness with that bronze Serpent equates to what God did with the lamb of God.....We are still in the wilderness.....We have not got to the Promise land yet we are still in the wilderness of Sin and sometimes we get bit....But here is Romans 8:2.....The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made free from the law of snake bite and death......Sin and death.....Thats y Jesus is saying Even as Moses lifted up a serpent in the wilderness even so must the Son of man be lifted up.....Jesus answers to the bronze Serpent.....But now under this New Covenant we behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.....What Moses did in the wilderness with that bronze serpent made Israel free FROM the law of SNAKE BITE AND DEATH.....But what Jesus did at Calvary by his blood is gonna make Humanity free from Sin and death...As John said behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world....The manchild which is the H.G. is gonna reprove this whole world of sin and Judgement and Righteousness.....Which is the result of this New Covenant the blood of the lamb from Calvary.....Thats y Jeremiah saw all the world in travail and Child birth Jere 30:6 ...The Children are spirits an Israel of God....Thats y it is saying a time of Jacobs troubles impling an Israel of God...Simply b/c the H.G. is that Israel of God.....That Heavenly Jacob the 3 rd person.....Ya gotta realize that Jesus sows a greater seed then Abraham......A heavenly seed impling spirits...Born of the spirit is spirit.

    Alex,

    Most of what you have communicated in this post is good analysis of the relationship between the bronze serpent and the work of Christ on the cross. The last part about the Man/Child I firmly disagree with.

    This account of Moses erecting up the bronze serpent is a shadow pointing to Christ on the cross who became sin for us so that the sting of the law of sin and death would not have victory over us anymore.

    Dear Alex,

    It is not that I disagree that the Scriptures refer to a manchild born to a woman. It does in Rev. Chapter 12. But this manchild is never called the Holy spirit anywhere in Scripture. This is where I disagree with your doctrine concerning this manchild.

    I do not see anywhere in Scripture that the Holy Spirit is created in us. He is God and God is eternal, so the Holy Spirit doesn not incarnate in any person. Jesus was incarnated as a man for our salvation even though God the Son. But the Scripture never states that the Holy Spirit will be birthed in us as a child.

    Scripture tells us that the Holy Spirit indwells believers, but this is different from what you are teaching. You teach that God is replicated. That the Holy Spirit is God replicated in us. But this would mean that the Holy Spirit would have many beginnings, births, etc.. Yet Scripture speaks of Him as the Eternal Spirit. God also says that He alone is God and there is not other God formed before Him or after Him. This means that the Godhead-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-is eternal without beginning and not able to reproduce deity into any other creature. For if this were true, then it would contradict the Scripture that says that God will not form any gods after Him. This aspect of divinity, his essential nature as God is unique only to Him. A creature cannot be God because a creature is made by God and therefore has a beginning, is finite in abilities, does not know all things, nor is everywhere present.Nor does a creature have all power, is unchangeable, nor infinitely perfect.

    Anyway, Alex, we have spoken about this before several times. I do not concur with your narrative about the Manchild spoken of in Rev.12 being the Holy Spirit, the seed of Christ, being a replicated god, or a new being that must learn and grow though God.

    I am telling you today that I will never come to believe what you do because it is heresy. It does not align with the truth of Scripture.
