Bible Note: I Timothy 3:16--"And without controversy great is the MYSTERY[emphasis mine] of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."(KJV) I Corinthians 1:24--"but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God."(NASB) John 1:1--"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."(NASB) Isaiah 9:6--"For a CHILD will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, MIGHTY GOD, ETERNAL FATHER, Prince of Peace."[all emphases mine] These verses demonstrate quite clearly the fact that not only is Jesus the Son of God, but that He also IS God. Let's use the argument that we must take this on faith. Now, faith IS the EVIDENCE of things unseen(Hebrews 11:1), therefore we can rightly conclude that since we DO have faith in the Bible being the Holy and Inspired Word of God, and that from Scripture we learn of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit(I John 4:8), then our faith in the Word is evidence that the three ARE one, and the one ARE three. As far as Jesus being less(?) than the Father, I refer you to Hebrews 2:7--"Thou madest him a little lower than the angels;..."(KJV). And using the formula(if A is less than B, and B is less than C, then A is less than C), if Jesus(on Earth) was lower than the angels, and the angels are lower than God, well, you do the math. Just for the record, if you do not agree with what I have said, I will not accuse you of heresy, or call you stupid. 2nd Samuel 22 |
