Bible Question:
In John 20:28 Thomas said to Jesus Christ, "My Lord (Kurios) my God (Theos)" It is clear to me he knew He was his God. Monogenes means "single of its kind, only". Abraham was told Isaac was this (Gen 22:2, Heb 11:17), yet we know Ishmael was his son, too (Gen 17:23-26, 25:9). Psalms 8:4-5 does not say angels are properly called gods Matthew 4:8-10 is about Satan wanting Jesus to worship him. Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man - this has been proven to you by others already. |
