Deity of Christ in Acts !

Here's one I've always liked. But there are lots and lots more that show that Jesus is God.

Matthew 1:23​

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

To all,
It's a shame when people read the bible and still don't understand what they are reading. When God said that he was "ALONE" and "BY HIMSELF" when he MADE ALL THINGS, that means exactly just that ... he was "ALONE", and "BY HIMSELF".

anyone who is truthful knows when God said, he was alone, he does not mean we or us was alone.

now one more, the "US" and the "OUR" in Genesis 1:26. there is ONLY ONE PERSON who made man Male and Female in the Beginning. and the Lord Jesus who cannot LIE say it was only "ONE" Person who made man Male and Female in the Beginning.
Matthew 19:4 "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female," he is a single person. and this single person is God. scripture, Mark 10:6 "But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female." so God is the he, not them who made man Male and Female in the beginning.

but people say, show it to me in the bible. ..... have, and they still cannot believe. so what's wrong with them.... answer, 2 Thessalonians 2:11 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:" 2 Thessalonians 2:12 "That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
it's bad when God send someone a delusion, a STRONG delusion until they want believe the truth when presented.
how can someone get out of a strong delusion? they must receive the truth. 101G cannot receive it for them..... it's a individual choice. when the Lord Jesus died on the cross, he put man right back where he was before the Fall. one must accept God. they have to believe the truth. so how do one do that? be a Berean. what did the Lord Jesus say? John 5:39 "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." John 5:40 "And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life." (READ THAT AGAIN) John 5:41 "I receive not honour from men." John 5:42 "But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you." John 5:43 "I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." John 5:44 "How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?"

what an INDICTMENT. believe men instead of God.

101G.
 
One thing I like about the Trinity is they work together.

26 But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me.
27 But you also will testify and be My witnesses, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
John 15:26–27

The Holy Spirit is sometimes called the “shy” member of the Godhead, because the Spirit will testify of Christ.This point is vital because it shows that the Spirit does not save in isolation from the other persons of the Trinity but in loving interaction with them. The Spirit is poured forth from the heavenly Father to testify of the Son to the glory of the Father. The Holy Spirit draws creation into the loving embrace of the Father, Son, and Spirit. In doing this, the Spirit seeks to glorify the Father and the Son.
 
I also like how the Trinity works in our lives to secure our salvation. The Holy Spirit is the one who perfects or completes the salvation willed by the Father and made possible by the Jesus's death and resurrection. The Third member of the Trinity completes this salvation by bringing it to us and enabling us to participate in it. Without the Holy Spirit, we would gaze on Jesus’ death and resurrection from a distance, but we would have no direct relationship to it. We would remain bound in our condition of sin and death, still yearning for freedom but having no connection to it. The Holy Spirit is what quickens us when we hear the gospel message.

The Holy Spirit brings the victory of Jesus’ death and resurrection to our lives and allows us to experience it and be a part of it. Without the Holy Spirit, there would be no salvation. In fact, it was the Holy Spirit that was the hidden potential of life at Jesus’ crucifixion.

14 How much more surely shall the blood of Christ, Who by virtue of [His] eternal Spirit [His own preexistent divine personality] has offered Himself as an unblemished sacrifice to God, purify our consciences from dead works and lifeless observances to serve the [ever] living God?
Hebrews 9:14

It was the Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead.

And [as to His divine nature] according to the Spirit of holiness was openly designated the Son of God in power [in a striking, triumphant and miraculous manner] by His resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
Romans 1:4

So yes @Kokomo The Holy Spirit Works in cooperation with the Father and with Jesus. "These three are one" 1 John 5:7
It is then the Spirit that brings the victory of Jesus’ death and resurrection to our lives when we believe in Jesus for salvation. Without the Spirit, there is no salvation. Not only Jesus saves, the Spirit saves, too.

Yep they work together. The father thinks it, the son speaks it, and the holy spirit makes it happen. "And these three are one first" John 5:7
You got that right, you sure got that right. I like talking to people that know what they're talking about.
 
The Jews would not have considered Jesus a threat, but insane if he had walked around saying he was God. But it was a threat for Jesus to claim to be the Messiah of God and also walk around doing miracles. Jesus had not been claiming to be God in the flesh and this is why the Jews never asked him at his trial if he was God in the flesh, but instead they asked him about what he had been claiming to be, which was the Messiah. Mark 14:61-62 records the High Priest asking “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" And Jesus said "I am.” The High Priest tore his garments and said he deserved to be put to death when Jesus stated he was the Messiah. So we see that the Jews correctly assessed that Jesus had been claiming to be the Christ, and that Jesus indeed said he was the Christ, and also that the Jews thought his claim was worthy of the death penalty.

The supposed “dual nature” of Christ is never stated in the Bible and contradicts the Bible and the laws of nature that God set up. Nothing can be 100% of two different things. Jesus cannot be 100% God and 100% man, and that is not a “mystery” but it's a contradiction and a talk of nonsense. A fatal flaw in the “dual nature” theory is that both natures in Jesus would have had to have known about each other. The Jesus God nature would have known about his human nature, and (according to what the Trinitarians teach) his human nature knew he was God, which explains why Trinitarians say Jesus taught that he was God. The book of Hebrews is wrong when it says Jesus was “made like his brothers in every respect” if Jesus knew he was God (Hebrews 2:17). Jesus was not made like other humans in every way if Jesus was 100% God and 100% human at the same time. In fact, he would have been very different from other humans in many respects.

Of course Jesus' words are eternal.
But this is because He spoke the words His Father asked Him to speak.
Let's read:
The Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. (John 12:49)

The words of Paul are also eternal, because God spoke through Him.
Your words, civic, are eternal, when you teach the will and messages of God.

Same thing with "eternal life".
Jesus gives us "eternal life" because He received from the Father the authority to say the words that, if followed, bring us eternal life.

For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. (John 5:26)

Why does it say He who has the Son has life and not he who has the Father has life ?

Because they didn't see the Father working, nor hear the Father speaking.
They saw Jesus working, and heard Jesus speaking.
God is unknowable, inaccesible, invisible, unfathomable to us. God did not come to the world personally.
God sent His Son (John 3:16). God manifests through Jesus Christ.

The words of Christ bring life, and those words are the words that the Father asked Him to speak.

So, whoever follows Jesus Christ's Word, has eternal life.
To "have the Son" is to allow Jesus Christ's teachings rule our lives.

So all previous interactions with YHWH in the Old Testament are with the pre-incarnate Jesus

John 1:18

No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.



John 5:37

And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,



John 6:46

No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.

Yes and there are several other verses that prove it was not the Father who was seen or heard in the OT.


Colossians 1:15
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

1 Timothy 1:17
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Timothy 6:13-16
I charge you 14 to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which God will bring about in his own time — God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.

Speaking of seeing the Father

John 14:8Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
John 14:9Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Hebrews 1:1–3 (ESV) — 1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
