Subject: God the Son as a confession of faith |
Bible Note: Leslie N, This is just my gut reaction, but I suspect the reason you are meeting resistance to "God is Jesus" is becasue it has the ring of the "Jesus Only" theology of certain non Trinitarian Pentecostals. It seems to leave out the Father and the Holy Spirit, whether or not that is your intent. I presume that was not your intent. Jesus is the name of God Incarnate. Christ is his title. It means "annointed". It refers to his office of preist, prophet and king. It is the Greek tranlation of Messiah. Jesus is the Incarnation of the Son, the Second Person of the holy Trinity. He is one Divine Person who has taken on a human nature in addition to his divine nature. Emmaus |
