Does the bible teach that Jesus is God?

[laura_charlotte]

The bible teaches that God is not his creation. He is the creator, and we are the created. Big distinction. Big difference. Jesus was unique. He (being eternally God) took on a human body, entered into our dimensional reality, while simultaneously maintaining his divinity. He prayed to the Father, and performed the miracles he did in the power of the Holy Spirit. The trinity in action. But we are not God, neither are angels, demons, or any other of Gods creations. There is only one God.

Christ or the Living Word is the second person of the Godhead who is eternal. He had no beginng or end. Christ is Eternally God. God Almighty. The Living Word who became flesh; For He took on the body of a real flesh and blood man (Who was of Adam); A man named Jesus. Christ took on the form of a man so as to die in our place for our sins. He came to give us a new life in Him with his resurrection. Only God could have done such a miraculous thing. So Jesus is God.

Yup...
Captain of the host of the Lord (who Joshua worshipped...and who may have had a flow of only white blood cells or water or something...and who ate Abrahams food).
Jesus Christ of Nazareths flow was both blood and water.

John 19:33-35New King James Version (NKJV)

33*But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34*But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35*And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.

Also...three men showed up to Abraham. He worshipped at least two of them...cause after two left Abraham stood yet before the Lord...and Lot worshipped at least one of the other two who left towards Sodom.

Genesis 18:21-23New King James Version (NKJV)

21*I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”

22*Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord. 23*And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

Also...

Mark 12:35-37New King James Version (NKJV)

Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?
35*Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? 36*For David himself said by the Holy Spirit:

‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”’[a]
37*Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; how is He then his Son?”

And the common people heard Him gladly.

There is a distinction made between Jesus and God in the New Testament. No one can get around that. Certainly his ties to God are very close, closer than our ties to God. So it could be argued that he is fundamentally God. However, there will always be a difference. I believe he is something more, not in the sense of something greater but something not purely God. So he is called the Son of God. I think the closest he can become to being God is summed up in a popular phrase: Like father, like son.

We have a measure of faith as Paul wrote...
God does not... and also has no beginning or ending. We have a beginning...God does not.

John 3:33-35King James Version (KJV)

33*He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

34*For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

35*The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

Hebrews 7:2-4King James Version (KJV)

2*To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

3*Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

4*Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

Indeed There is only 1 God! Dt 6:4
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
KJV

IN Deu 6:4 the word translated as one is אֶחָֽד ,which signifies composite unity as in אֶחָֽד אֶשׁכֹּ֗ל a cluster of grapes (Nu 13:23).

The word yacheed signifies absolute unity but is NOT used.

22The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way,
before his works of old.

23)From ancient times I was installed, From the start,
from times earlier than the earth.

24)When there were no deep waters, I was brought forth,
When there were no springs overflowing with water.

25)Before the mountains were set in place,
Before the hills, I was brought forth,

26)When he had not yet made the earth and its fields Or the first clods of earth’s soil.

27)When he prepared the heavens, I was there; When he marked out
the horizon on the surface of the waters,

28)When he established the clouds above, When he founded the fountains of the deep,

29)When he set a decree for the sea That its waters should not pass beyond his order,
When he established the foundations of the earth,

30)Then I was beside him as a master worker.

I was the one he was especially fond of day by day;

I rejoiced before him all the time;

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine:

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God,
who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

2To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness,

3Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life;

Melchizedek king of Salem ..Melchizeded translates as King of Righteousness, whill He is also the King of Salem meaning the King of Peace. He has no Father and no Mother. This gives much to consider and much upon which to meditater, much.

Though you view will be in the minority, the head of the Christian church in AD 265 may not be so far apart from you in thinking:

• Pope Dionysius (AD 265) : "Neither, then, may we divide into three godheads the wonderful and divine unity.... Rather, we must believe in God, the Father Almighty; and in Christ Jesus, his Son; and in the Holy Spirit; and that the Word is united to the God of the universe. 'For,' he says, 'The Father and I are one,' and 'I am in the Father, and the Father in me'."[SUP][24][/SUP] Yet, Jesus is not treated as synonymous with God.

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,

The bible teaches that God is not his creation. He is the creator, and we are the created. There is only one God.

Were are all you guys getting these talking Bibles at? Did the Holy Ghost anoint your Bible to talk or something cause that has got to be the coolest. Since the Holy Ghost is the Father as written in Matthew 1:18 and 1:20, then one can see in John 8:42; "Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me:"

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. Deut 18:18 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. John 12:49

So the Holy Ghost quicken him at the beginning of his ministry when the high priest took him into Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. However, one must remember that John was born of the Holy Ghost too. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. Luke 1:15

Now in Luke 3:22, it is written, "And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.: Yet in Matthew 3:16 it is written, "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:"

While in Luke 3:22, it is the Holy Ghost who initially gave life to his flesh again comes unto him whereas in Matthew 3:16 he saw the Holy Ghost, which in this verse is referred unto as the Spirit of God. Since in John 4:24, it is written that "God is a Spirit:...", then is the Spirit of God the Spirit of the Spirit? or does it mean the God of God? And in Genesis 1:2, the Son was also referred unto by the term of Spirit of God.

Now recalling that as the Father hath life in Himself, He gave his Son to hath life in himself, and as written in the Gospel, the Son can do nothing of himself but that He which he seeth with the Father he doeth also. So what did the Son doeth? In Mark 10:6-9 it says that "from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

So if a male and female shall be one flesh, then 1 John 5:7 might clarify the meaning of the term Spirit of God since the Creator is the Eternal Light that no man can see nor approach unto. Thus, doesh not nature itself teach you that the Light of this world is both particle and wave? Thus if the Spirit of God and the Word of God hath been joined together then who are they that bear record in heaven-" the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." Of course it is written that "in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. "

Since Elohim, or the Gods said "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness" then understanding that it takes a male and a female to procreate the living flesh, then wouldn't logic dictate that it takes the Spirit and the Word to procreate the living soul.

I guess looking on the bright side, the trinitarians have two daddies, which is not to say that there is anything wrong with having two daddies. But it is written in Romans 1:25, Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. And thus in Romans 1:28, And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Since the basis of the Trinity is based upon the Matthew 28:19, " Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:", I won't bother asking what the name of the Father is, the name of the Son is, or the name of the Holy Ghost since the LORD knows the interpretation of John 15:27.
