“NINE MORE BIBLE REASONS THAT PROVE JESUS CHRIST IS
GOD”
10. The Father and the Word … Jesus Christ … are one
“For there
are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.” (1 John 5:7).
This means
there is one
God made up of three persons.
As an apple
is made up
of three parts – the core, the flesh and the skin.
Is the
core the apple?
Yes. Is the skin the apple? Yes. Is the flesh the apple? Yes.
One apple
but made up of
three parts.
Now there
is one God with three persons – the
Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost.
One God
not three Gods.
So God the
Father is God. God the Son (Jesus
Christ) is God, and God the Holy Ghost is God.
Further
confirmation is given with the following
scripture of the description of Jesus Christ …
“Who being
the brightness of his (God the
Father’s) glory, and the express image of his (God
the Father’s) person, and upholding all things by the word
of his (Jesus
Christ’s) power, when he had by himself (Jesus) purged our
sins, sat
down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” (Hebrews 1:3)
Dear
Reader, can you see that? God the Father is
a person, Jesus Christ is a person who was expressed out of
the
Godhead (1 John 5:7-8).
Jesus is
the express image of God!
11. God’s blood is Jesus Christ’s blood
“Take heed
therefore unto yourselves, and to all
the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to
feed the
church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.”
(Acts
20:28)
As Christ
is God, his shed blood is God’s blood.
12. God became a man in the flesh … Jesus Christ
There
are three
scriptures that
specifically state that the child of Mary was a child of the Holy
Ghost. Now we
know that the Holy Ghost is one with God and therefore is God … as is
Jesus
Christ … also called the Word in heaven (1John 5:7-8)
The
Bible says “And
without controversy (without
argument) great is the mystery of
godliness: God was manifest in the
flesh…” (1 Timothy 3:16) - God
was MAN–ifested … that is … became
a physical man.
“Now the
birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came
together, she
was found with child of the Holy Ghost.” (Matthew 1:18)
“And the
angel answered and said unto her, The
Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born
of thee
shall be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35)
13. Jesus Christ is God Almighty, Alpha and Omega
and is the beginning and the end and the
first and the last
(a) Jesus
declares that he is the Lord God
Almighty:
The
following is Jesus speaking:
“I (Jesus) am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith
the Lord
(Jesus), which is, and which was, and which is to come, the
Almighty.”
(Revelation 1:8)
The
following is God speaking:
“And when
Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD
(God) appeared
to Abram, and said unto him, I
am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.” (Genesis
17:1)
Conclusion: Jesus is
Almighty God and Almighty God is Jesus.
(b) Jesus
declares that he is the Alpha and the
Omega which is the beginning and the end.
The
following is Jesus speaking:
“And he (Jesus)
said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end.
I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of
life
freely.” (Revelation 21:6)
“I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the end,
the first and the last.” (Revelation 22:13)
(c) Jesus
declares that he is the first and the last:
The
following is God speaking:
“Hearken
unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I
am he; I (God) am
the first, I also am the last.”
(Isaiah 48:12)
The
following is Jesus speaking:
“And,
behold, I (Jesus)
come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as
his work
shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the
first
and the last.” (Revelation 22:12-13)
14. God calls Jesus God
God
talks to Jesus Christ when he says "But unto
the Son
(Jesus) he
(God
the Father) saith, Thy Throne, O God, is forever and ever ...” (Hebrews 1:8)
Could
you imagine that God would call anyone God if they weren't? Was God
lying? Of course not.
Here
we have God talking to God, this is God the Father addressing God
the Son.
15. How many Gods and
Saviours are
there? … just one!
Just one.
This is
God speaking:
“I, even I, am
the LORD (God); and beside me there is no saviour.”
(Is 43:11)
“Thus saith the
LORD the
King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts … and beside
me
there is no God.”
(Is 44:6)
The
following scriptures say that Jesus Christ is the Saviour:
“But hath
in due times manifested his word through
preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God
our Saviour; To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace,
mercy,
and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.”
(Titus
1:3-4)
and
“… God
our Saviour …. Jesus Christ our Saviour”
(Titus 3:4, 6)
For
example take the verse in Titus 2:13:
"Looking
for that bossed
hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13)
This
of course refers to the Rapture (1Thessalonians 4:16-17) when Jesus will come back for those who believe
in Him
by faith alone. The critics argue that this refers to two people coming
"the great God" and "our Saviour Jesus Christ". They say
that these are not one and the same person.
When
this argument was put forward, a certain rule
of Greek grammar was still undiscovered. An expert in Greek grammar, Mr
Granville-Sharpe, discovered the following Greek grammatical rule in
the late
18th century:
"When
there are two nouns in the same
case connected by the word "and", with the first noun having
the definite article "the" and the second noun not having the
article, the second noun refers to the same thing the first noun does
and is a
further description of it."
Case
proven! "the great God" is the same
person as "our Saviour Jesus Christ" God's word is always true.
17.
Jesus Christ equal with God
“Who (Jesus),
being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with
God:” (Philippians
2:6)
Furthermore
…
“For there
are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost: and these
three are one.” (1 John 5:7).
“And the
Word (Jesus) was
made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of
grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
18.
The Book of Titus confirms that God and Jesus
are one and the same
In
the Old Testament, God Jehovah says there is no
saviour other than him. He also says there is no god but him.
“I,
even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.” (Is
43:11)
“Thus saith the
LORD the
King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts … and beside
me
there is no God.”
(Is 44:6)
“But hath
in due times manifested his word through
preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God
our Saviour; To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace,
mercy,
and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.”
(Titus
1:3-4)
“… God
our Saviour …. Jesus Christ our Saviour” (Titus 3:4, 6)
