Ron Kangas Thinks He is God. Is He?
Ron Kangas, a writer for Living Stream Ministry writes, "We shall not
be God by nature but only by grace. God is God in Himself; we are God
not in ourselves but only in Him, by Him, with Him, and through Him".
I don't think we are God by grace, nor in Him, with Him or
through Him.
Not even by Him, on Him, or around Him. Satan is the author of confusion.
Witness Lee confirms this thinking of Ron Kangas: "we have God the Son, the Father, the Spirit, and man.... He is God, He is the Father, He is the Son, He is the Spirit, and He is man".
I am a man, but I am not God. Ron Kangas and Witness Lee are not God either. Whether Witness Lee is saying the Godhead is man(kind) or that the Godhead is a man; whichever deception is used, both are erroneous. And, if Witness Lee means that Jesus Christ is the Father that is modalism. No matter how you look at it, this statement by Witness Lee is wrong.
Jesus was both God and man when He came in the likeness of the flesh. Christ will return just as He left, and He will reign in Person. Will Jesus Christ be as a man in Person when He reigns for 1000 years? If Jesus is to return just as He left, then yes. However, this does not mean the Godhead is a man since Jesus is not the Godhead, but He is the 2nd Person of the Godhead. When in creation He is the fullness of the Godhead bodily. He is both God and man when He is in the creation.
As
the Lamb, He is seen as having the same face as God the Father (Rev. 22.1,4) in
the center of the new city in eternity future in the new earth when heaven and
earth come together. And still even here,
Jesus is not the Father. Nor are we
God. Nor is the Godhead a man. Nor is Jesus a man unless when He is in His
creation. Remember always, God is spirit, that is not Spirit, but spirit. The
Spirit is the 3rd Person of the Godhead. I love to see people so humble in
Christ that they always maintain God's 3 Persons. A leeist is unable to do so,
because he worships God with is mind, bypassing the spirit. Most lsm/lc cult
members are unregenerated for the sake of the sinlessness of those in the new
city and in the new earth in eternity future.
