Bible Question: this verse in the KJV makes Jesus sound like a creation of God.I am having a hard time with a friend of mine at work over this verse. Any help would be appreicated as I know Jesus is as much the Creator as is God. |
Bible Answer: Hi Christian7, You say in this post that Jesus is as much the Creator as is God. That spells: Jesus is not actually God himself. Just as John 1:1 says, and the Word was "with" God. How can you be "with" someone and at the same time be him? So, I agree with you here. Jesus many times referred to his father as "his God". So he couldn't be Almighty God, too. The Father Jehovah never refers to his Son as his God and Jesus taught us to pray to the Father, since he is our God. Truthfinder |
