Comments on The Son of God is God

Very good study on the deity of Jesus Christ. Since the deity of Jesus Christ is a core Christian belief that Jesus is God incarnate—fully divine and fully human, the second person of the Trinity...God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit... This doctrine holds that Jesus existed eternally with God, possesses divine attributes like omnipotence and omniscience, created the universe, forgives sins, and is worthy of worship, as affirmed by New Testament claims, his own words "I and the Father are one".

It is a good thing to know who Jesus Christ is. The incarnation—immortal Son of God taking on human flesh—is one of the most astonishing things God has ever done. What great lengths Jesus went to in order to reunite us with the Father!

The Word became a human being and lived here with us.
John 1:14

Jesus came to earth and lived for a while with us so we can go to heaven and live forever with Him.
 
That sounds good to debate and discuss anyone of the posts in this thread and the Trinity thread outside of those threads in the "featured content" on the home page in the upper right. That way it keeps those for information on our forum for what we believe regarding the Trinity and Deity of Christ on BAM. I know most of the Trinitarians here and they would affirm the posts in those 2 threads.
 
My love for Jesus Christ began in a tiny circle of baby-bear chairs in a Sunday school class of a small town church. My teachers were not biblical scholars. They were moms and homemakers. I’m not sure they ever delved into the depths of Scripture or researched a single Greek word. They simply taught what they knew. I don’t know any other way to explain what happened next: I believed.

I remember thinking how handsome Jesus was in those watercolor pictures and how I had never seen a man with long hair before. I wondered if my dad, the truck driver, would approve. My favorite picture was the familiar one with the children climbing all over Jesus’ lap. As I recall, it was the only one I ever saw that captured Him smiling. I determined quickly that big people bored and upset Him and little people made Him quite happy. I knew right then and there that Jesus loved me.

As I post this simple, unexciting testimony to you, a lump wells in my throat and tears burn in my eyes. Jesus is the most wonderful, most graceful, most exciting, most redemptive thing that has ever happened to me. He is my life. I cannot express on paper my love for Him. It is a love that has grown in incongruous bits and pieces, baby steps, leaps, bounds, tumbles, and falls, . . . decade after decade.

I want all of you to love Him . . . at least as much as I do. I’m believing for us to want Him more than we want blessing, health, or even breath. I want to know Him so well that my undivided heart can explain, “Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You” Ps. 63.3.

Better than life! God invites mortal creatures—you and me—into a love relationship with the Son of glory. That, my friend, is the meaning of life. Let’s Live it. Fully. Completely.

We will never spend our time more valuably than in the pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ.

“Worthy is the Lamb!”

 
Is Jesus God? No doubt about it. Jesus declared Himself to be God. His followers believed Him to be God. The provision of salvation only works if Jesus is God. Jesus is God incarnate, the eternal Alpha and Omega, and God our Savior.

For centuries, the identity of Jesus of Nazareth has been a subject of intense discussion, debate, and ultimately, profound faith. Was He merely a good teacher? A prophet? Or was He something much, much more? The resounding answer, illuminated by the very scriptures He inspired, is clear: Jesus is God. There is no doubt about it.

Colossians 1:15-17 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

John's Gospel begins with a profound declaration:

John 1:1 NIV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

This "Word" then became flesh in the person of Jesus. This isn't simply about a divine message; it's about the divine Messenger being God, taking on human form to dwell among us and reveal God's glory.
