Hi, Angel - A very fine selection of scriptural attestations to the deity of Christ. Puzzling, isn't it, why some people just don't get it? Or don't want to. Odd too how some sects and cults affirm that Scripture is the word of God yet deny Christ's deity. If Christ is not God the Son, Scripture is a liar. And if Scripture is the word of God, it follows that God is a liar. The whole matter, Old Testament as well as New Testament, hangs together in perfect unity if Christ is who He says He is. All of it falls apart if Christ is anyone less than God! Belief therefore in the full deity of Jesus Christ is the absolute sine qua non of the Christian faith. Any sect, any cult no matter who they are who deny the full deity of Jesus Christ is by no means and in no measure whatever Christian. Again, Angel, good work. God bless. --Hank | ||||||

Hi, Hank! Thank you for your kind words! "some people just don't get it? Or don't want to" I agree with you 100 percent! I have met quite a few... they go out of their way to learn and recite Scripture... some even call themselves "Christians..." yet they deny the Lord! Their ability to emphasize some of Jesus words (when His words seem to, at least superficially, supports their views), while completely ignoring or rejecting everything else He has said is totally bewildering! They remind me of the Pharisees and Sadducees... they recognized that Jesus claimed to be Divine, and they recongnized that His deeds were indeed of Divine origins, yet they fervently refused to humble themselves to God's revelations! (Matthew 17:5) Sadly, those who reject Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are being fooled by blind teachers who themselves cannot see that Jesus is God... some even attempt to compartmentalize God into levels of power or authority! These poor souls are as blind as Saul was since they persecute Christ for the sake of serving God! We must pray ardously for their release--it is evident that Satan has them under his power since they can see the Gate but they refuse to enter! God Bless! Angel |
