1 | Was Jesus God? | NT general Archive 1 | JCrichton | 149276 | ||
Hi! I found it somewhat bemusing that a person with a screen name that suggest that knowledge of Scripture would ask such question... "Was Jesus God?" No! Jesus IS God! John tells us that the Word was with God and that the Word is God... that all that exist was created by Him and that He is the Light of the world, the Life incarnate which came to His own, upon their rejection He gave all who believe in Him the power to become children of God. (John 1;1-14) Yahweh testifies, through His prophets, that Joshua, Christos, the Anointed, is coming to the world and that He is the Emmanuel (God-with-us--which is an ancient prophecy made by God that He will come and walk/live among His people)... among His other titles are: "Mighty God," "Eternal Father," and "Prince of Piece!" Jesus was called Master (Rabbi or Rabbuni) and even those who rejected Him would still recognize that He spoke the truth and that His teaching had full authority... so it is not difficult to understand that His disciples and those who would hear Him were able to understand that there was someone greater than themselves among them... yet even those who did not know Him that intimately undestood that He was God: Elizabeth (and her son), Mary's relative (Luke 1:39-44), the magi (Matthew 2:1-11), Satan (Matthew 4:1-11), Satan's minions (Mark 5:1-13), His disciples (Matthew 16:16; 28:9; 14:33; John 16:25-30; 20:20), the Father (Matthew 3:17; 17:5; Luke 3:22; Hebrews 1:8-12), the Father's Heavenly servants (Revelatin 5:7-14), and finally the Father and the Son (Revelation 21:3-6; 22:12 and 1:7-18)... It was no simple revelation that Christ made when He told His disciples that when they have seen Him they've seen the Father... the Father and the Son are inseparable, how can we expect to serve the One sitting on the Throne and not the One next to Him? The four living creatures, the elders and the angels make no exception because they know that God is God and that there's no subdivision in the Eternal One! (Revelation 21:22 thru 22:5) God Bless!

Angel, I'm only referering to your answer and I quote "Yahweh testifies, through His prophets, that Joshua, Christos, the Anointed, is coming to the world and that He is the Emmanuel (God-with-us--which is an ancient prophecy made by God that He will come and walk/live among His people)... among His other titles are: "Mighty God," "Eternal Father," and "Prince of Piece!" |

Hi, cayra! Perhaps because I am truly bad at self-editing I could not see the forest for the tree... Had you not quoted me I would not have understood both your original post and this one... It is with great regret that I offer "mia culpa" or in today's poor excuse "my bad." I can only surmise that the error came in part due to fatigue (as it happens often, I end up working into the early morn hours and my brain is coasting almost at automatic... sometimes at sleep-walking... though in my mind I was thinking peace... the homonym typed was piece and when editing the post (as I am sure happens with many people) my mind was reading the words that I had thought were part of my composition instead of the actual words that I typed... ...I read through several Bible versions looking for what I thought was your query (why Prince of peace?)... I am glad you clarified the issue--left to my own means, it is quite probable that it would have escaped me for years! Thank you for your patience and your assistance! God Bless! Angel |
