lol....have i said Jesus didnt hare His nature? some folks need to learn reading comprehension.
Yeah Jesus shared Gods Nature, but you know what? we are One With Jesus, Jesus One with God His nature is imparted to all His children, does that mean we are God? does a son who shares His fathers nature, is that making Him His father? or would He be the Son of His father? Gods Son, Jesus Christ very simple. thats where the Life is offered its not to say " Jesus is God" theres a reason the entire Gospel is about the Son of God. a reason John makes clear " Jesus is the Son of God" rather than spend yime correcting and arguing with people, this site would be alot better if we all heard first what was being Said. here very simply what im saying
john 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.<<<<< now consider John saying very clearly this
f we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
its the christian faith God sent Jesus, His only son, to save the World through Belief in the name of the Only begotten, Jesus. you can argue that fact, but its best to stick with this plain clear obvious true witness of God " That Jsus Christ is His Son, and eternal Life is only found in his son.
and if you have an issue with me talkking...why come to a post like this ? its really kind of pretty evident in the op, which was why i left it for people to consider, i would have been thrilled if it would have just been read and considered....... the way people approach others here in this forum, is not a christian way of doing things. i would have thought Gods witness in the op, Jesus witness all the apostles all that scripture may have at least made someone think...hmmmmmm
its really not that complicated. The Gospel is really clear, accept Jesus the Son of God have eternal Life. simple there is no reason to raise the wuestion " Is Jesus God?" the question is " Is Jesus Christ the Son of God?"

Is Jesus Christ also the only true God, yes or no? What your doing in your post is telling us we have the same nature as Jesus Christ. Well, I have a news flash for you, our nature is that of human while Jesus Christ has two natures. One from His mothers side which is human and one from His Father's side which is Deity.
Why do you think that John 3:16 says that Jesus Christ is the one and only begotten Son of God? Christians are "adopted" sons of God, please read Galatians 4:4-7. We are "NOT" begotten sons of God, we are created sons of God. To beget is to become the father of; to create is to make. What's the difference? When you beget you beget something of the same kind as yourself. A man begets human babies and a dog begets other dogs. When you make, you make something of a differenct kind from yourself. What God creates is not God, just as what man makes is not man. This is why men are not sons of God in the same sense that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Again, we are adopted sons of God and Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God which means that Jesus Christ is equal to God and not less than God. In fact, Jesus Christ was crucified for the crime of blasphemy by making Himself equal with God His Father. Read John 5:18, John 8:58, John 10:30-39, John 19:7 and the trial of Jesus at Matthew 26:57-66.
At John 10:30 when Jesus said, "I and the Father, we are one" Jesus was not talking about them being one in purpose in this specific context even though they are one in purpose. Jesus was telling the Jews that He and the Father are one in nature. That is why the Jews took up stones "AGAIN" to stone Him. The Jews were not wanting to kill Him for being one in purpose with His Father. So followjesus, what did I say that you don't understand?
IN GOD THE SON,
