1 | God the Son as a confession of faith | Rom 9:5 | kalos | 126412 | ||
"Christ, who is God over all" If the point of your previous post is that there is more than one way to translate Romans 9:5, then I agree with you. However, if your point is that Jesus Christ is not God, then I disagree with you. "Christ, who is God over all" Romans 9:5 NIV Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen. "Christ himself was a Jew...And he is God" Romans 9:5 NLT Their ancestors were great people of God, and Christ himself was a Jew as far as his human nature is concerned. And he is God, who rules over everything and is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. "Messiah, who is God over all" Romans 9:5 HCSB The forefathers are theirs, and from them, by physical descent, came the Messiah, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen. "Christ, who is God over all" Romans 9:5 NET Bible To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, by human descent, came the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever! Amen. |

2 | God the Son as a confession of faith | Rom 9:5 | Leslie N | 126600 | ||
no, that was not my point. I believe God is Jesus Christ, who as the gospel says is the Son of God. In short God the Son My wife was a missionary and she heard of a teaching that stated- Jesus referred to the side of the Son of God that was Human (flesh) Christ referred to the side of the Son of God that was God. Have you heard anything upon these lines. This was based on the question that someone asked- Is Jesus God, some people said yes. I stated that 'God was Jesus Christ', later on I said 'because Jesus Christ is the Son of God'. I was curious to why people said Jesus is God |

Leslie N, This is just my gut reaction, but I suspect the reason you are meeting resistance to "God is Jesus" is becasue it has the ring of the "Jesus Only" theology of certain non Trinitarian Pentecostals. It seems to leave out the Father and the Holy Spirit, whether or not that is your intent. I presume that was not your intent. Jesus is the name of God Incarnate. Christ is his title. It means "annointed". It refers to his office of preist, prophet and king. It is the Greek tranlation of Messiah. Jesus is the Incarnation of the Son, the Second Person of the holy Trinity. He is one Divine Person who has taken on a human nature in addition to his divine nature. Emmaus |

4 | God the Son as a confession of faith | Rom 9:5 | Leslie N | 126613 | ||
no, I previously mentioned that I believe in the Westminster cofession- Westminster Confession of Faith - "In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons of one substance, power, and eternity; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. The Father is of none, neither begotten nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father; the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son." |

Leslie N, I remember your post on the Westminster Confession. Do you understand the point I was making about how "God is Jesus" without further expalnation sounds to some ears? I know that grammatically it si the same as "Jesus is God" but nevertheless the pharasing stikes a different chord to many who hear it. People are used to hearing "Jesus is God" or "Jesu id the Son of God" as an assertion of the Divinity of Jesus. "God is Jesus" rightly or wrongly triggers a different reflex. Emmaus |
