John 20:31 "But these are written that YOU MAY BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, and that by believing you may have life in HIS name."
John 3:17-18”For God did not send HIS SON into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of GODS ONE AND ONLY SON.”
Romans 1:2-4 "the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding HIS SON, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, and who THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF HOLINESS was declared THE SON OF GOD with power by his resurrection from the dead: JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD."
john 11:4 "When he heard this, JESUS SAID, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that GOD'S SON may be glorified through it."
JOHN 11:41-42 "So they took away the stone. Then JESUS LOOKED UP AND SAID , “Father, I thank YOU that YOU HAVE HEARD ME. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may BELIEVE THAT YOU SENT ME."
john 11:27 "“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the CHRIST, the SON OF GOD, who is to come into the world.”
John 12:23 "Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the SON OF MAN to be glorified. "
john 12:26 "Whoever serves me must follow me; and WHERE I AM, MY SERVANT WILL ALSO BE. MY FATHER WILL HONOR THE ONE WHO SERVES ME."
john 12:49-50 “ For I did not speak ON MY OWN, but THE FATHER WHO SENT ME COMMANDED ME to say all that I have spoken. I know that HIS COMMAND leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is JUST WHAT THE FATHER TOLD ME TO SAY.”
does it seem like Jesus is the Father? or does He continually refer to His Father as God?
john 20:17 “Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to MY BROTHERS and tell them, 'I am ascending to MY FATHER and YOUR FATHER, to MY GOD AND YOUR GOD .'’
What of Jesus prayer?
john 17:1-5 “After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify YOUR SON, that YOUR SON MAY GLORIFY YOU . For YOU GRANTED HIM AUTHORITY OVER ALL PEOPLE that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3Now this is eternal life: that they know YOU THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and JESUS CHRIST WHOM YOU HAVE SENT ( John 3:16-18) I have brought YOU GLORY on earth by finishing the work YOU GAVE ME TO DO. And now, Father, GLORIFY ME in YOUR PRESENCE withTHE GLORY I HAD WITH YOU before the world began.”
I understand this subject is touchy to some and confusing to others, with the trinity doctrine so vaugue and the many differing views of things, My point is that scripture is plain, it doesnt require anything But the spirit, prayer and belief. were not supposed to try to figure it out in our minds or reason Just acceopt whats written. the reason we have to stick to the scriptures ?
“ if you stand in front of a mirror and say His name 3 times, Jesus will give you eternal Life” in other words, without knowing and believing Gods word of things, anything can be said “ God said this” but if we have the scripture, a person can easily say “ No! thats false it is not in scripture anywhere” thats How we learn Gods word, By believing it, prayerfully considering it, desiring to Know what He is truly saying, what His true words are. There is no unity until we accept the only One authorized to remove the old, and give the new. Jesus, the Christ and Son of God. more scripture regarding God the Father, and His Son who is Our only image of God, His Only begotten Son.
john 17:6-8 “I have REVEALED YOU to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; YOU GAVE THEM TO ME and they have OBEYED YOUR WORD. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I GAVE THEM THE WORDS YOU GAVE ME AND THEY ACCEPTED THEM. They knew with certainty that I CAME FROM YOU, and they believed that YOU SENT ME.”
john 17 :14-17 “ I have given them YOUR WORD and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the EVIL ONE. ( yes satan is on the earth) They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; YOUR WORD IS TRUTH.” (consider v 6-8)
john 17:22-26 “I have GIVEN THEM THE GLORY that YOU GAVE ME, that they may be one AS WE ARE ONE— 23I IN THEM AND YOU IN ME—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as YOU HAVE LOVED ME.
24“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the GLORY YOU HAVE GIVEN ME before the creation of the world. 25“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I KNOW YOU, and they know that YOU HAVE SENT ME. 26I HAVE MADE YOU KNOWN TO THEM, and will continue to make you known in order that the LOVE YOU HAVE FOR ME may be IN THEM and that I myself may be IN THEM.”
notice whats being said here about us being one with Jesus, and He is one with God. then consider Jesus telling phillip “ I and the Father are One , you have now seen the Father” Jesus is NOT claiming to Be the Father, But He is saying to see Me, is to see God. He is again the exact representation of His Father, who is spirit and cannot be seen or known........But if we Know His Only Son who is exactly Like Him, and is One with Him, then we Have a Lord who we are one with. if we become one with Jesus, He is already One with God. this is what Jesus is saying in other places as well
john 15:9-11 ““As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10If you KEEP MY COMMANDS, you will remain in my love, JUST AS I HAVE KEPT MY FATHERS COMMANDS and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete”
john 14:1 ““Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in Goda ; believe ALSO IN ME”
Jesus never made the claim to be God, His clear claim and the truth is that He is the Promised Christ, the Only begotten Son of God. when He says “ before abraham was , I am” He is making the clear statement that He was before abraham and is OF God. What child DOESNT bear His Fathers name??? still the Son is of the Father, But He is not the Father, Jesus also Has a God, it Just happens to Be His Father and the reason we all talk of “ inheritance through Jesus” He is the Son, all of the inheritance of God belongs to Gods Son, He is so full of Love for us that He offers to share with us the inheritance of eternal Life. those who accept Him as the Christ and Son of God, having all authority and the Only Lord and Savior there is.
John 10:17-18 “The REASON MY FATHER LOVES ME is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have AUTHORITY to lay it down and AUTHORITY to take it up again. THIS COMMAND I RECEIVED from my Father.”
would God need to give Himself a command to follow? Or is Jesus saying Just what He means?
1 john 5:1-5 "Everyone who believes that JESUS IS THE CHRIST is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who BELIEVES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD."
there are 2 times as many saying the same things. Believe in Jesus the Christ, and the Son of the Living God. that is the Christian belief that leads to rebeirth 1 john 5:1, and victory over the world 1 john 5:5. Because it is the truth of Gods Word. to be very clear, Jesus divinity is that of Gods eternal Son, He is no less divine, yet there is a day when He will also become subject to God, as He already was on earth. Jesus Has the Same God that you and I have, and thanks to Him, the SAME FATHER Hallelujah !
