1 | Who is Jesus' God? | John 3:16 | Tara1 | 111989 | ||
Hello CDBJ, We can't know what Thomas was thinking in that statement now can we? I agree the comment was not corrected, thus it is correct. Was Thomas thinking "My Lord (Jehovah) my God (Jehovah) while looking at Jesus? Possibility. Again though Jesus is our Theos John 1:18 tells that “the only-begotten god Gr., monogenes´ theos´, as does John 1:1. Ps 8:4,5 offers insight to this by telling us that even angels are properly called gods. Are they though our Almighty God to be given what Jesus tells us in Matt 4:10 to give only to Jehovah? You tell me. Tara1 |

2 | Who is Jesus' God? | John 3:16 | Jesusman | 112041 | ||
If this is a discussion over whether or not Jesus declared himself to be God, then you need ton debate further, because he did. Althroughout the Gospels, Jesus is referred to as God, and never once does he correct them. Also, IN John 8:58, Jesus in reference to Abraham calls himself the "I am". The holy name for God that was told to Moses on the mount at the burning bush, what "Jehovah" actually means. Why do you think the Pharisees and Sadducees blaimed Jesus for committing blasphemy? Because Jesus declared himself as God. So, Thomas' statement of declaring Jesus as God incorrect? No, because Jesus declared it of himself before. As for Angels being Gods, that is simply false. Also, Jesus is not a created being, as it seems like you are implying. "Begotten" does not always mean "birthed", but "unique". That is an accurate description of Jesus, especially given the Doctrine of the Trinity, and Jesus being the Son within the Tri-une Godhead. As for the worship of Angels, Paul clearly denounces that In Colossians chapter 2. Besides, Hebrews chapter one raises Jesus higher than the angels, and lowers angels far below humans in status. The Bible makes it very clear that Angels are not gods and are not deserving of worship. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |
