Does the bible teach that Jesus is God?

[fredjames]

Thus He had no beginning. He existed before there was a beginning. He did not 'come from God', He Himself always was God and always will be. He came from the Godhead and became Jesus by becoming man.

Greetings friends and peace be with you in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST, 'dear valiant' and to everyone and to those who already know 'Grace and Truth' of the written New Covenant/Testament.

Holy Scripture teaches us that JESUS had a beginning and came from GOD who have always existed. In what 'form' JESUS was created and HIS 'name' and what 'title' HE was given in Heaven from the beginning, that we do not know and not necessary to know for now, but only stick to in faith as it is written according to the HOLY BIBLE.

Since when JESUS had a beginning?

In the first chapter of the Gospel of John. he 'begins' like this;

"In the beginning ............................................................................"

If he say; "Before the beginning .......................................................................", then i would consider agreeing with your 'witnessing' of the Word, yes, but therefore it is not so 'as it is written'.

In the epistle of Apostle Paul to the church of Colossians, referring from chapter 1 and verse 15, he says;

"HE is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn of all creation."

One may also continue to read other verses as well, for they 'inspires' the 'spirit-man'.

In human term 'firstborn' means the 'first' child to come out of 'mommy's tummy'.

Before GOD created anything at all, HE created first someone to be in 'HIS image', a 'visible' being in the Heavenly 'spiritual realm'(who later was born as a man-child to Joseph and Mary, called 'JESUS of Nazareth', who finally gave the New Testament/Covenant of GOD to HIS present redeemed people).

Then 'by HIM(JESUS)' and 'for HIM(JESUS)', GOD therefore created all other things (even Lucifer), that was initially in GOD's 'mind' and 'plan' to create 'with'.

i repeat once again, 'by HIS SON and for HIS SON from the beginning of HIS life'. What a deserving privilege whom GOD is well pleased with and calls JESUS as HIS only begotten, in HIS 'audible' voice from Heaven 'witnessing' to HIS disciples, who later gave their lives to 'witness' these to us and over the years the 'reformers' who gave their lives too just to 'translate' these for us, to be 'taught' and to 'know' and to 'remember', all of these we have received and only receive through;

'Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound.
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found.
Was blind but now I see. ..................'

Wow, isn't these 'amazing' and 'inspiring' to our 'spirit' for i myself am 'joyed' in sharing this, in 'service' to you all?

GOD's blessing to be thankful for in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST, even in the 'expense' of friend 'valiant', who is the 'initiator' to these revelation.
