Bible Question:
fborn posts: "it's OK to call Christ God but he is not the Lord God,a lot of folk have pretty much excluded God the Father from his own program. We must be aware of making Christ an Idol without even realizing it. So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Besides the Lord God there is no Savior. Christ said to God I have finished the work you gave me to do and on the cross Jesus said in to thy hands I commit my Spirit. Christ said that he was speaking God the Father's doctrine." Mommapbs posts: I understand how a JW (there is no God but Jehovah and we are all sons of God) or a Muslim (there is no god but Allah and Muhammed is his prophet) could make Jesus an idol . . . I can also understand how one could possibly make the written book we call the Bible an idol, but How can a Christ follower make Jesus Christ an idol? Jesus Christ is both Lord and Savior (2 Peter 3:18). My original question did not presuppose that Jesus is not God. Jesus is God - Jesus and Jehovah are One. fborn, do you agree or disagree with the statements above? Yes or no will be sufficient. Jude 1:4 |
Bible Answer: Mommapbs, I wonder at what you mean by making Jesus Christ our idol. I agree that the Lord God demands our worship only to Him. But are not God and Jesus one? Would not the worship be directed at both? This is why I cannot understand your line of thinking... |
