Secondly...Like Jeremiah, It seems to me, that Jesus Christ was born not of the will of man or woman. Jeremiah was predestined as was Jesus Christ.
"Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."

Somewhere along the line, you have judged Christ to be human, and so, you are human.
Your assumption is merely an assumption. Not fortified or informed by fact or Truth. It is merely speculation.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want...

Wow, I think the misstep here is yours. You've over complicated the scripture and have turned it into some sort of New Age belief or something.
The gospel is simple, Jesus died for our sins, so we can be redeemed and found without sin in the eyes of GOD. He rose again, defeated SIN and DEATH, so those who believe in him, will have everlasting life.
Any more or less isn't necessary. The more you speak of the scripture in the way you believe only confuses and turns people away from Christ.
God Bless
Its simple:
The truth died that lies may live.
The truth was "slain before the foundation of the world".
The truth was "sacrificed" that "the world" may thrive and survive.
So, the world is a "lie" from "in the beginning".
Everything in the world is a lie.
Everything that happens in the world is a lie.
"The truth" came into the world that lies may "die" and truth may "live".
The way you interpret scripture preserves the lies that sacrifice the truth.
If you are a "person", or, if you are a "son of man", you are a liar, self-decieved from the beginning of the world.
That's all you need to know.
Christ!

OK prove yourself with scripture then. For every thing you say I want you to prove yourself with scripture.
Eph:5:13: But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
If you can't simply and straightforwardly prove what you are saying with scripture, then it's false doctrine.
Or are you claiming that only you know the truth?
Please enlighten us...

You contradict yourself here.
Joseph said, "do not interpretations belong to God?"
But you say, "scripture interprets scripture".
So, you are caught in logic loop...circular reasoning.
Perhaps you believe that scripture is God?
Now you are really caught in a trap of your own making.

The only way to interpret the Word of God (Scripture), is to use the Word of God (Scripture). Sounds plain, simple, and logical to me. No circular reasoning there. Using your own mind to interpret it is what leads to fallacies, false teachers/prophets and false doctrine.

Put forth any scripture and ask for interpretation.
I will bring it to the light.
The light will show whether it is approved or "reproved".

You're missing the whole point. I already reprove myself with scripture. The second I would let someone else explain or reprove it for me, I am fallen into folly. Why would I trust you to reprove or approve scripture? I'll let the Word of God handle that, thank you.

Well, you just used your own mind to set up a logic loop.
The Word of God is not pages in a book!
If you listen to the Word of God, and write down what you hear, *then* you have words of the Word of God in a book.
How then is the book greater than the Teacher of the Word?

Oh, so you're claiming to be a prophet who receives the Word of God directly? The Word of God is indeed written in a book.

Revelation 13:8
"All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world."
Interpretation:
The "Lamb" is the "Truth".
The truth is slain by the creation of the world.
Plain and simple.
Innocence is the domain of the truth.
Guilt is the domain of the "beast".
The beast makes guilt "the truth".
The beast *is* guilt.
The creation of the world rides on the back of the beast.
The creation of the world "proves" guilt is "the truth".
All the inhabitants of the world worship guilt.
To the world, guilt is "the truth"..."reality".
The inhabitants of the world need guilt.
Otherwise, there would be no more world.
As I said, the world rides on the back of guilt.
Take guilt away, and the world goes with it.
So, there is enmity between the inhabitants of the world...and the truth.
If the truth came to the world, the world would attempt to kill it.
It cannot succeed.
The writing is one the wall.
The truth will rise, and take the world down with it.
Christ!

Try this instead:
Re:13:8: And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Yes the "Lamb" is Jesus Christ, if you don't believe and have faith in Jesus Christ, your name isn't in the book of life, and you will end up worshiping the "beast".
Sounds alot more simpler when you take it like it's written doesn't it.

Yes, my words are indeed written in places in the context of certain books.
My words can be found in most books in the world.
However, when put in the context of lies, you cannot tell the difference between the sheep and the goats, so-to-speak.
The words of God are indeed written in the "New Testament".
I didn't say they weren't.
But you are trying to tell us that the book is now the Word of God, and the Word of God is...what...dead?

Same difference.
The "Lamb" is the "Truth".
The truth is "slain from the foundation of the world".
The foundation of the world is guilt.
The world rides on the back of guilt.
Guilt is the beast.
So, the inhabitants of the world worships the beast.
None of the inhabitants of the world are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Only the Lamb is written in the Lamb's book of life.
Only the Lamb lives!
That is why Jesus says, "lay down your life, that you may take it up again".
Plain and simple.
Christ!
