Nowadays more and more in the churches are people who says that Jesus is not God, but the Father alone is God. It is true that the Father is God, but actually the Bible teaches that Jesus is also God. In this writing I bring out that how the Bible tells that the Father is God, and Jesus is God and how this can be true so as there is not any conflict in the Bible. This is a very important subject, because it touches very deeply the foundation of salvation
The Bible designates Jesus Christ as God the Son--the Savior and Redeemer of mankind.
But the Biblical NT separates Christ from the "one God" of the NT writers:
[h=1]1 Corinthians 8:6---King James Version (KJV)[/h] [SUP]6 [/SUP]But to us there is but
one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him;
and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
The NT writers never designated God the Son as the "one God". Only Christ's God and Father is given that designation:
[h=1]Ephesians 1:17---King James Version (KJV)[/h] [SUP]17 [/SUP]That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
[h=1]1 Peter 1:3---King James Version (KJV)[/h] [SUP]3 [/SUP]Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
[h=1]John 20:17---King James Version (KJV)[/h] [SUP]17 [/SUP]Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
