Subject: One God, One Jesus Christ |
Bible Note: Tim, Your line of reasoning is illogical and certainly non Biblical. Example: John 8:12 Jesus is the Light of the world. Matthew 5:14 Disciples are the light of the world. So, the disciples must be Jesus. If I reasoned like your reasonings then that satement would be true! The Bible tells us that there's only One True Almighty God whose name alone is Jehovah. (He causes to become) Jesus is Not that one. He is Almighty God's only- begotten god. Read what the Bible tells us. It says at John 1:18 that that is the case! The Bible tells us there are indeed lesser mighty ones, men, angels, and it does call them god(s)(elohim). Ps. 82:1-7 and Ps 8:5. Yet, Jehovah is called Elohim and Jesus is called elohim. Well, do I then reason that angels are Jehovah? No. Jesus is Jehovah? No. Why Tim, do the scriptures again and again have verses such as Revelation 1:1, A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him." ?? Are we logical or not? Also, Jude 1:1, "Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ, but a brother of James, to the called ones who are loved in relationship with God [the] Father and preserved for Jesus Christ." Clearnly we have here shown to us that there's Jesus and his Father who's THE God. 1 John 4:9, "God sent forth his only-begotten Son". It doesn't say the Father but THE God sent Jesus. So Jesus can't be THE God! Tim, what do we do with all the verses that use the phrase where Jesus is speaking, "my God". Yes who ever heard of Jehovah saying "my God". Never, but Jesus does many times. Romans 1:7,8 Paul says, "May YOU have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. 8 First of all, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ concerning all of YOU, because YOUR faith is talked about throughout the whole world". Yes, the Bible teaches that there is only one true Almighty God, (as Jehovah himself says when he says besides me there is no God) and it says there's God's Son. John 17:3 says, "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." Here we have made clear for us that there's Almighty God Jehovah and there's the one he sent to the earth, his Son Jesus Christ. These few verses speak for themselves, they are not twisted, in any way, and I believe the Bible for what it says, and not "men". Believe the Bible when it says there is no God apart from me (Jehovah). There is no Almighty God but the Father. If you declare that his Son is Almighty God too, then what do we do with Is 45:21?
