Subject: Do you yet say that Jesus was just a man |
Bible Note: Dear stokeyhk, So, apparently, you do not believe that Jesus was equal to God(Which, of course, He was, is, and always will be). So, let me share a little something with you: Philippians 2:6--"Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:"(KJV) Now, since Jesus is the "image of the invisible God"(Colossians 1:14), and since God "cannot lie"(Titus 1:2), we can truly say that Jesus is equal to God, since He believed He was equal to God. Also: "No man hath seen God at any time..."(John 1:18 KJV), but, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do."(John 5:19 KJV) Therefore, Jesus was more than a man, He was(and is) God the Son. He could not have been "just a man", since no man has seen God, but Jesus has seen what the Father does. Also, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."(Genesis 1:1) and, "by him[Jesus] were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:"(Colossians 1:16) Since, according to Colossians, Jesus created all things, and Genesis tells us that God created the heavens and the earth, Jesus MUST be God!! Was God the Son obedieant to God the Father? Of course. He had to be, in order to carry out the will of the Father. God is my Strength and Power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
