is there any question who Jesus is? there shouldnt be we can find scattered scripture and make the argument " Jesus is God" or " christ is God" its strange that all these biblical witnesses stick with very plain and straight forward words" Jesus is the Christ and Son of the Living God" and that the phrases " Jesus is God" or the Christ is God" do not appear anywhere in the Bible. and further that there is no verse saying " Unless someone believes the Jesus is God, they are wrong"
try not to make this a belief and rewuirement for anyone even if your own belief is that Jesus is God, because that Belief is not what is written for Christians to believe and confess. and in a way, its borderline denying that God has a Son. yet " the confession Jesus is the Son of God is approved and required belief that offers eternal Life. think it over. God has a Son His name Is Jesus. <<< tell people about Gods Only begotten, thats who God is telling us about.
The Life offered from the One true God, who is the Father of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is found built upon accepting that God has an only begotten Son, that He sent into the World, to save us. there is no argument to this fact. sure "doubting thomas" says when He touches Jesus " My Lord and My God" and sure, the prohet says " He will be CALLED the mighty God, and eternal Father. thats just true some do call Him God, and the name of the Father still today passes to thier son.
the only truth of who is Jesus....is very plain and consistant for salvation and all the blessing of God, to believe in the name of Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son.
