But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy Kingdom”—Hebrews 1:8

A discussion of The Deity of Jesus, is simply a discussion of his Divinity. It is a discussion of his personality as the Almighty God- and not as a smaller God (god) under the Father- as many erroneously believe and teach…

Many a time, I have heard the “Evangelicals” teach that Jesus is a smaller God (god) than the Father. And their premises for that conclusion is that Isaiah 9:6, renders Jesus as “Mighty God” and not Almighty God…

Then their second position is that Jesus was created by the Father- and that, they support with Revelations 3:14 which says; “…The beginning of the creation of God.” And consequently, they’ve erroneously modified their customized Bible and translated the Lord Jesus to a small god, like every one of us (Thereby making Jesus equal with us)…

Thus, denying completely his Supreme Deity as God Almighty. Hence, this article, seeks to debunk and correct this demonic error, and point people to the true personality and glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, scripturally.

Because, if we do not understand his true personality or Deity, we’ll not be able to magnify and glorify him as we ought to. Instead, we’ll undermine him (in our hearts) in much the same way as the “Evangelicals”; and consequently, the declaration of his name from our lips, will not yield much results…

Debunking The Errors
Error 1: Jesus is The Mighty God and not The Almighty God
This doctrine is a myopic one, because there is absolutely no difference between ‘Mighty’ and Almighty, both in the original Hebrew and Greek meaning. They both mean-Exceedingly Powerful…

Then witnessing from the scriptures, Revelations 1:8, refers to Jesus as the Almighty. Though they may modify that verse as well, in their customized Bible to make it say what they believe…

Error 2 Jesus is a Creation

This also is another myopic doctrine. Although, the translation of Revelation 3: 14; seem ambiguous, in that it seem to say Jesus is the beginning of the creation of God, but the actual translation should have been; “The beginner of the creation of God” and this position is seconded by John 1:3 (you know, in the mouth of two witnesses is every matter confirmed)…

Verse 3 says; “All things were made by him (Jesus- The Word), and without him was not anything made that was made”. Hence, the one that made everything (minus nothing) couldn’t have been possibly created. In short, such reasoning is absolutely preposterous and demonic.

Who Then is Jesus Christ?

Jesus is the second person of the Godhead (1 John 5:7). He had been in, working and manifesting through the Father before creation—John 1:18; Ch. 14:10; Ch. 17:5, 21. However, his position as the second person of the trinity, is not hierarchical. The Godhead- Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, have exactly the same Deity…

The three of them, are exactly one entity.-Almighty God. Hence, Jesus is Almighty God, as much as the Father and the Holy Spirit, are Almighty God. And as such, he possesses all the features of Deity. Which are: Omnipresence, Omniscience and Omnipotence.

So he can be properly worshiped as much as the Father and the Holy Spirit can be worshiped. To this end, the Godhead is equal (absolute congruency) in Deity but unequal in authority. Jesus and the Holy Spirit has exactly equal authority in the Godhead, while the father has greater authority than the two of them.

This can be explained as follows:

When Jesus was about to be crucified, he introduced the Holy Spirit thus: “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever;”—John 14:16.

In essence, he was saying, he would pray the Father to send us a different person of exactly the same kind. That is from the Greek words “Allos Parakletos”…

But the Father, is greater than the both of them. And his greatness above them, is in terms of ownership authority- John 14:28; 15:26; 1 Corinthians 11:3; Ch. 3:23-and administrative authority- John 13:16; Ch. 14:10; Ch. 17:2, 8.

Finally, Jesus is the personification of the Godhead. That is, the Godhead in Form (manifestation). We only see or have access to the Deity of the Godhead through Jesus…

Hence, once we see Jesus, we have seen the entire Godhead-The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (John 14:16, 9-11; Heb 1:3; Col 2:9). Hence, if we get to heaven presently, it is Jesus as a person we’ll see on the throne.

This can be clearly seen from the book of Revelations. In the book of Revelations, it was Jesus whom John saw in the form of a living stone, seating on the throne (Rev 4:1-5) and at the same time, symbolizing himself as the slain Lamb (Rev 5:6)-with seven horns and eyes…

This can be understood by comparing Revelations 1:8 and 4:8. During judgment, both in the first resurrection and the white Throne Judgment, he will be the one seating on the throne to judge all of us-John 5:22, Rev 20:4-5; verses 11-15.
But in all, he reigns and rules under subjection to and the dictates of the Father, which dwells fully in him. Hence, the Father is all in all -1 Corinthians 15:27-28; ch 3:23; 11:3-and is glorified by and through the Son, Jesus Christ-Hebrews 1:3.

By the special grace of God, I have endeavored to prophesy the Deity of Jesus, according to the measure of my faith. But there is no one that can reveal the Deity of Jesus as much as the Holy Spirit. Ask him for further Revelations of the Deity of The Almighty LORD and Savior Jesus Christ; and I guarantee you, he will, if you lay aside every form of religion and be open hearted and minded.

Remain Blessed in Jesus Precious Name!

Evangelicals, or Jehovah's Witnesses? JWs are not generally considered
to be Christian; therefore to call them evangelicals is a bit of a misnomer.

Well, I didn't want to mention names that's why I referred to them as 'Evangelicals' with quotes around.
I see :) And of course there are others... Oneness Pentecostals and Christadelphians come to mind.

So 'Jehovah's Witnesses'?
It's the worst heresy----the heresy that is the opposite of the faith for salvation. Of course you should name names

Jesus is the physical ICON of the invisible Heavenly Father......Jesus is God on throne and his deity is evident to all who know the truth!
