Is Jesus God? by Ayomivic(m): 11:04am On May 24, 2023
QUESTION AND ANSWER

QUESTION :

Is Jesus God?

ANSWER:

Yes.

The word God is not the name of any deity. It is a title for any deity that people believed is in control of the heaven and the Earth. It is also used to refer to the creator.

There is only one God according to christianity faith whom Christians refered to as Father. According to the scripture, He was the creator of heaven and the Earth. He created everything. through his power know as Holy Spirit and his words. By his words" let there be" (Genesis 1:4-25 ) everything were created

According to the Quran God wanted a vicegerent on earth ( Quran 2:30) who will represented him on earth and In the bible Exodus 47:1-9God made example of how this will be done when he chose ark of covenant to represent him among the Israelites (1Samuel 6;1-3 ) even though it was God that was speaking to the Israelites from the lid of the covenant box (Exodus 25:22.) but what people were seeing was ark of covenant

In the scripture ,God made it known that he would not allow other that paraded themselves as gods to share in his glory ( Isaiah 42:8. )

Christians believed what were revealed by God through the prophets in the Holy scripture. In scripture , God chose his word by with he made all things and made him to take flesh from virgin Mary (luke 1:26-38, Quran 4:171,) and gave him power on earth and in heaven that all nations and , races and languages should be Worshiping him (Daniel 7:14-14 )

So , Jesus been the word he was the creator and By father given him authority that all mankind in heaven and the Earth should worship him . He is in control of the heaven and the Earth. By that mandate, God himself put Jesus in position of God because that was what make someone God as I had explained before. no other prophets had given this honor . Jesus is next to God , whatever he does it had been agreed between God the father and him and the holy spirit. Whatever he does it was God the father that does it whatever he says it was God the father that says it , because him and father is one (John 10;30 .)

Another example I can give on this to make you understand the relationship between Jesus who is God the son and God the father , is the issue of Pharaoh and Joseph. Pharaoh made Joseph one with him. He told Joseph

I will put you in charge of my country, and all my people will obey your orders. Your authority will be second only to mine. 41 I now appoint you governor over all Egypt.Gen 41:40-41

β€œI am the kingβ€”and no one in all Egypt shall so much as lift a hand or a foot without your permission.” Genesis 41:44.

Joseph was made a governor in Egypt. He was not give another kingdom by Pharaoh but he was to govern on the same kingdom pharaoh as king over. He was next to king but performed the duty of king and all he does was to the glory of the pharaoh. We were made to know that Joseph collected all the land in Egypt for pharaoh (Genesis 47:19-23)

Jesus too is not seeking his own glory but the glory of his father (John 17;1-17)

Jesus have both nature of God (word) John 1:14 and man (flesh) .

Now, we must understand that Jesus been God is not what we as humans being wanted or what we framed to be . It is not what we used our human reasoning to put down or what we used our humans sense of reasoning to know if it sound right or foolishness like muslims would say
"that it is not sound proper that Jesus who eat and sleep is a God , how can God be crucified? "Etc

but it was what God himself revealed to mankind . it was his plan , what he wants, what God is doing and what he will make sure it came to pass. We Christians have no power to say is good or bad . All we can do is to accept the scripture or disagree with it like muslims but we agreed on what God revealed and trusted all the prophets that he sent to convey this message. what they said were truly from God and we believed the interpretation of the Holy Spirit to apostles and that was the reason we had been called be

Alaye, Jesus is not God..

Jesus always made reference to His Father in all situations..

My father has many mansions...

My father, My father. Why have thou forsaken me...

During his baptism, a voice came down from heaven saying "this is my son, in whom I am well pleased"...

Jesus, at no point ever claimed divinity neither did he say nor the bible say he is God..

The pagan doctrines of Rome made a mess of the whole concept but the truth is not far fetched. Jesus WAS God {John 1:1} just as Moses WAS God {Exodus 7:1} both of them served as God at some point in time.
Image if someone should write about Moses:

"Before Exodus (movement of God's people) WAS Moses and Moses WAS with God and Moses WAS God"

Will it be difficult to grasp what the writer is saying haven found out that God Himself made Moses like a God in Egypt? Exodus 7:1

Well no intelligent reader can miss the point in there if he or she knows the story of Moses.
He lived an ordinary life as a shepherd just like Jesus before his baptism was also a carpenter.
He was called by God to establish pure worship among the Israelites.
He was given God's commandments to pass on to the Israelites.
He was the first human to perform miracles in God's name.
He was the meekest of all men.
And God spoke to him as if they're both living in the same house.
Surely that's why God told the Israelites that another prophet will come in the manner of Moses who WAS a God in the midst of God's people {Deuteronomy 18:18-19} and Peter the apostle confirmed that Jesus is that promised prophet coming in the manner of Moses! Act 3:22

So next time anyone refer to Jesus as God remember he is the prophet who came in the manner of Moses the prophet who WAS God! Exodus 7:1

May you have PEACE! smiley

Yes… JESUS CHRIST is GOD.
Re: Is Jesus God? by MaxInDHouse(m): 3:07pm On May 24, 2023
Your problem is having a myopic view of what God means!

It's just a title not name so many things as in so many things can be God it depends on your understanding.

Why not read what the Bible book of Exodus 7:1 say first before arguing blindly?

If Jesus is not God explain John 14.14
If Jesus is not God explain Matthew 9.1-8
If Jesus is not God explain Rev 22.13 and Isaiah 44.6

Your problem is that you are just too stupid to compare anyone in heaven and on earth to God...

God is God alone and he shares his glory with absolutely no one, either in the heavens nor on earth...

Either in title or name, just stop comparing God..

Get that into your numb skull okay...

Bye..

OK you're the type that hates facts shey? smiley

Keep what you think you know to yourself but remember Bible acknowledged Moses as God so you're not a Bible student.

Goodbye!

Yes! Just as your father is human like you is also human.

My father has many mansions...

My father, My father. Why have thou forsaken me...

Very correct.

During his baptism, a voice came down from heaven saying "this is my son, in whom I am well pleased"...

God is omnipresent don't forget!

Jesus, at no point ever claimed divinity neither did he say nor the bible say he is God..

Jesus didn't come to the world to claim divinity but many Bible references shows who He was before becoming part of the world.

Jesus is God but Bro Every of Your Prove seems quite confusing, Pls Let's Try and Understand at first Look at it from this Perspective: Look at The term God lyk a system that Comprises of Three Personalities God the Father God the Son and God The Spirit, and this Three are one, Check out 1john 5:7 to confirm this, It says there are three that Bear witness in heaven and this Three are one, some Versions Have scraped this Part Out in some Bible versions, check KJV
In the Beginning the Word God: in Hebrew Translate Elohim and This Particular Elohim is refered to As Plural Eloha as "Singular", get The Hebrew Direct "Torah" (that's what they call The Old Testament) the Word "God" was Elohim truh out, dats 1 Prove.

Another Prove of the System called God comprises of 3 personalities, Matt 3:16-17
This Particular verse Captured Jesus, The Spirit and God, God spoke out from Heaven saying : This is my Beloved Son in Whom I am well Pleased

Another Prove Again : Rev 22:1 we can see God and the Lamb (Wich is Jesus) , Take note the river flowing out of the river is the Holy Spirit (Spirit of God), and Jh 7:38 - 39 Proves This : Jesus Spoke about a river out of the belly Wich was the Holy Spirit

With This Few Points of Mine I hope I have Been able to Prove to you That The Word God consists of 3Persons Who are the Same, so when you call on God you call on all, wen you worship Jesus or the Spirit You are ascribing worship to the particular System in Heaven called God.

But Wait Take note God Said Let's make man In our Own Image, Take note Let's Means More than one "Gen 1:26" And Now Look at Man He has a Body, a soul and a Spirit.... 😁
This Wisdom nah only the Spirit of God fit Open am up to man, nobody fit unlock am, The Scripture was Written by Man By The Inspiration of the Spirit at the Beginning of Creation, nah Only Tis Spirit fit give deeper revelations about the Bible. So be4 reading the Bible always Invite and appreciate the help of the Holy Spirit Becos Nah Only Him fit Reveal the Deep and Secret tins of God
Re: Is Jesus God? by MaxInDHouse(m): 5:48am On May 25, 2023
The highlighted was added to God's word by pagans who worships the triune God and they don't agree with the underlined because to them it's just one God not three PERSONALITIES as you said.
If you want to confirm what you're reading now go and cross-check in other versions of the Bible 1John 5:7 has been manipulated long time ago! smiley
