Bible Question:
Can anyone show me any passages that show that Jesus is God? A friend of mine believes that Jesus is the Son of God but not God (and the Holy Spirit is the action of God but not God). I've shown him many verses but most can also be interpreted as separate individuals (for example: I baptize you in the name of the Father and in the Son, and in the Holy Spirit could be interpreted as baptizing in the name of the three separate entities.) I've also shown him the classic John 1:1 and similar verses but he interprets it at Jesus and God think alike, have the same mission, similar in nature, etc... Is there something in the Bible that very simply and cleary says that the Three are one? To me there are many verses that state this clearly, but to him, they state something completely different. |
Bible Answer: No Jesus is not God. But the spirit of God dwelt in him. And When God returns to earth, He will dwell in Christ again as the father. And all the righteous people will have the best father in the universe. During our time God has dwelt in many identities, but only the sacred communicated with him. His last Identity was that of Jesus. Now he is truly in the real heaven. Not Europe. And at the end of time his work begins again. I believe in the trinity of God. But not everyone does. I read it very clear in the bible. John 1 is an example. |
