Bible Question:
Correction ALERT!!! 'Likewise, if Jesus's father is God (and he is), that makes him God. Not The Most High God, but still God.' the 'a God' is corrected to 'God'. |
Bible Answer: Mbooker, you're a breath of cool air on a site that can get pretty darn heated. I wanted to make known to you that Jesus IS the Most High God. If God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are the same Being, then by definition all must be at the same level. Jesus IS God, therefore Jesus AND God (and the Holy Spirit) are the Most High God. Nowhere in the Bible (that I've found) does it reference Jesus as being on a lower level than God. Nuances such as these are how JW and other "Christian" cults pull the unsuspecting believer in. As our fellow brother in Christ warned, be very suspect of "believers" who strongly discourage your association with believers from other denominations, i.e., Church of Christ, Mormons, even your own church can become a cult (not that this would happen and please don't think I'm saying that they are). Once a group starts drifting away from the main, then starts accusing the main of persecution when in fact it is loving correction, they're beginning to focus on something other than the Truth (capitalized to reference both the gospel and Jesus). We are all growing and all benefit from fellowship with all true believers. The person who says they no longer need this or that the main is wrong is a person who has become lost. And, if they now know everything, whatever are they going to do when they get to heaven? In Christ, Estelle |
