Bible Question:
Can one believe that Jesus was raised from the dead and yet refuse to believe in His deity? The word for Lord here troubles me a bit - not being a greek scholar how does kurios (from kuros authority; lord, master) translate to the Godhead? |
Bible Answer: Please read John 6:32-48 and Romans 5:8-12 another scripture that bears witness on the Godhead is John 1:1-14 John 14:6-13, 26-31. These scriptures should give you insight of the Deity. Jesus clearly states all through the New Testament Gospels about the Father and the Holy Ghost and He are all one. You can not believe in Jesus and not believe in the Father who sent Him,nor can you believe in Jesus and not believe in the Comforter whom Jesus said would be sent in His name. |
