Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”
My ministry friend Onorato Diamante uploaded the following helpful YouTube video today to contend for the faith. I fully agree with Onorato's refutation of a heresy being preached by Pastor Steven Anderson, which denies that Jesus was omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent while upon the earth 2,000 years ago. See and hear it for yourself...
Steve Anderson: God in the Flesh — NOT Omnipotent, Omniscient, or Omnipresent (While On This Earth)
I wrote my own refutation today against Pastor Anderson's strange doctrine. I can tell you with all biblical confidence dear friend that Jesus while upon earth was still omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. Jesus was 100% a man, and also 100% God. There is no way that He couldn't have had all the same powers of God the Father while walking this earth 2,000 years ago. Jesus chose not to use those powers most of the time, but He did sometimes use them.
For example: When Jesus walked on the Sea of Galilea and calmed the roaring storm and the raging waves, He was showing omnipotence. Philippians 3:20-21, “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” No mortal man could command the weather as Jesus did. This was omnipotence!
Nathanael was seven miles away when Jesus saw him praying under a fig tree. Only an omnipresent Savior could have known that fact. Jesus forgave men's sins as only an omnipotent God can do. He walked through an angry mob of people who tried to force Him off a steep cliff, again showing His omnipotence.
Jesus could have commanded twelve legions (72,000) of angels to rescue Him if so desired. He raised the dead back to life, healed the sick, caused the blind to see, made the lame to walk again and the deaf to hear, as only God can do. Jesus walked on water and calmed the raging sea, commanding the fierce storm to dissipate into a peaceful breeze. Don't anyone dare tell me that our majestic Savior didn't still posses the attributes of almighty God on earth!
