1 | God the Son as a confession of faith | Rom 9:5 | Emmaus | 126612 | ||
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 |

2 | 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 |
