Is Jesus God

[Lincoln Robinson]

This question has brought a wide range of questions to the ear of many scholars which wasnt equipt to answer correctly. i was shocked to know that so many Minister, Preachers, Pastors, ETC, have no clue and answer this question in total ignorance without searching the scriptures fully. My answer is he is a manifestation of the Words of God in the Flesh. The one and only begotten Son of God, which now sit on the right hand of God. I would love to hear from all on the network.

[James Pierce]

Rev,

I'd say if the person is just stuck in their ways, and does not have an open mind, and always have preconceived thoughts to teachings, then that person is unlearned, and unstable in his own ways and beliefs.

[James Pierce]

Rev,

Go back and re-read where I explained the meaning of the word "manifest".

[Lincoln Robinson]

Mr. Peirce you are on point, but I am not stuck in my ways. I seek truth, there is no such things aswhat I beleive or what you beleive, we have to reason in the scripturesand come to God truth, not opinions or what I think or what God gave you privetly because the sciptures say there is no private interpertations of the scriptures. Now, Rev Culberson, I knew it would be one with a title which goes contray to God word which would respond negetively. 1) call no man father or master, or Rev search the sciptures. 2) you wanted me to clarify what the context was saying when Jesus spoke the words, " me and my father are one" . Iam going to try to make thsi breif, if we go to John 10:23 we find Jesus walking on Solomons porch alone without his diciples, we find a group of hostile Jews who surrounded him and ask a question, in Vs 24 they ask how long will you keep us in doubt or suspence tell us plainly if you are the Christ. Now Jesus reply in context of giving the father Glory and saying the Father bear witness of him, he replied you beleived me not because you are not my sheep, he replied my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me, an I give them eternal life, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand, he says " My father which gave them me is greater than all", talking about God not himself, He says no man is able to pluck them out of my fathers hand. Then we find the famous scipture which all validate Jesus saying he is God. I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE. Now we have to look at the entire context and not just this TEXT. Jesus is saying me and my father is in this together, first the sheep belongs to the father, he gives them to his son in order to keep them in the faith through the WORD, we know that Jesus was the WORD OF GOD MANIFESTED in the FLESH and walk on earth. Jesus says no man can get to the Father but by me, We have no knowledge of God without the WORD OF GOD, which was with us for a short period of time. Now if you preach Jesus the man you have people praying and worshiping Jesus as God. If you Preach Jesus the Word you lead people to God. Vs 32 wew know in the vS 31 the Jews were about to stone him, Jesus says many good works I shewed you from my FATHER (GOD) for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answer Good works we stone you not but for BLASPHEMY: and becuase that thou being a man makest thyself GOD. Jesus has never said he was GOD, Jesus replies, is it not written in your laws, I said , Ye are GODS? God told Moses, see moses I have made you a GOD to Pharoah, in Genesis the bible declares the SONS OF GOD CAME INTO THE WOMEN OF MEN. What we have to understand in the Jewish tongue the term son of god is used commonly. we have english people reading a Jewish book through english glasses.It doesnt work out to good.

[Rev. Eric Culberson Jr.]

Where was I negative?

[Lincoln Robinson]

I apologize Rev. Culberson, God Bless We are here to carry on the work of the Father and become the Sons of God and present Jesus ( The WORD OF GOD ) to all that would receive. I pray tha my word didnt offend you in any way forgive me on my negligence.

[James Pierce]

Lincoln,

Did you know that when Psalm 82 used 'god", and when Moses was called a "god", that the Hebrew used "Elohim", which primarily means "mighty/strong one"?

[Lincoln Robinson]

Before I reply to this Mr. Pierce, I would love to know what is you religious afiliation. Most people are not farmilar with hebrew and Greek, as we know the Bible is a jewish written book and translated into many tongues. So we have English people reading a Jewish book through english glasses and intelect. I see you are using hebrew terms and names, lets educate some of the people on these names or just how the tongue of the Islamic religion works. First of all english can not make a word or sound that makes sense without a vowel, the islamic tongue doesnt use vowels. so it sounds like they are singing more offten than talking. especially when they are read there religoues text, they are tought to sing it because its a more easy way to remeber it, think of that, our young people here in America can store and remeber 100 upons thousands of rap songs and get down songs but cant remeber 2 scriptures in the bible. Jesus weep dont count. Ok with that out of the way, people say God has many names not true, Elohim and the various other names which people have made song of " Jira" , these are Charateristics of the mighty God not his name. read the scripture closely. an he built and alter there and called his name Elomin because a likeness of the father had been revealed to man. God name is God, you may say Ala which simply means GOD. Jesus name is revealed in the book of Revelations and they called his name THE WORD OF GOD, not God the father but GOD WORD. I beleive people of our country need to go back and get the bible writted before the beloved KING JAMES 1611 because there were others. we will find that some of our most famous quoted scriptures are not in there, 5 years later after $15,000,000 were mad off the first translation, the same authors the same publishers came back with the same book with new scripture, why and where did these scriptures come from? So called, our most promeneit scholars backed by 50 denominations because this is what they wanted to preach and give to the COMMON man compromised truth for propoganda. if we ever going to become what God desire us to be truth has to be reveals to the people so they can walk in the fullness of the WORD of GOD. If anyone desire to know what those scripture are I will share them with you, I will share just 2 now, The 1st and greatest, if a christian minister can not lock the deal with this one he is not worthy to be call a follower of Christ, the famous JOHN 3:16, shocked I was also, 2nd the famous 1JOHN 5:7. I want you to also know thant when these scripture were added there were other scriptures removed. I just wonder what type of game were these promeniet scholars backed by 50 denominations playing with the minds of God people. Remember Jesus said it is not what goes into a mans body that defiles him, but that which enter his HEART, Mr. Pierce in hebrew or amonst the jewish brothers is not the HEART equvelent to the MIND, Jesus then said whatsoever is in a mans heart will proceed out of his mouth, not go out the drought. we are vessels which supose to confess Christ ( WORD of GOD ) and beleive in him which raised (JESUS) from the dead, which is Elohim - the mighty one, GOD all MIGHTY. If what Iam saying is not true I trust we will study to show ourselves Approved to God and go before the Father in prayer an asked that Truth be revealed, its time people, just as Paul was about to go into a city, the learn men those of authority spotted them and said. IS it not those guys who FLIPPED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN. this is what the truth does, it renew the mind and free the people from bondage in there hearts not to desire the things of this world but to conquer them from within by removing the desire with the true WORD of GOD which is Christ poreached and GOD the father beleived on. Lets walk together brothers and sisters and began to stand boldly in Spirit and TRUTH. may God bless you.

[James Pierce]

Lincoln,

I am a Nazarene. Nazarenes were the earliest followers of Yehoshua. Shaul was called the ringleader of the Nazarene sect. Nazarenes practices Torah, and believe in Yehoshua for their salvation. I'd like to add that God is simple a "title", and not a name. His name, most revered, is YHWH, for which you would add the vowel pointings of Masoretic Hebrew, its "Yahweh". In scripture, God, in Hebrew, is used as "El" and "Elohim". They both mean mighty one(s). Its pretty interesting once you dive into it. What faith, denomination, or sect, do you belong to?

Shalom Aleichem(Peace be to you),
James

[N'ZI Amani Germain]

Yes, Jesus Christ is God

"Now that is the revelation: Jesus Christ is God. The Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New. No matter how hard you try, you can’t prove there are THREE Gods. But it also takes a revelation by the Holy Spirit to make you understand the truth that He is One. It takes a revelation to see that the Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New. Satan crept into the church and blinded the people to this truth. And when they were blinded to it, it wasn’t long until the Church of Rome stopped baptizing in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I admit that it takes a real revelation from the Holy Ghost to see the truth about the Godhead these days when we are in the midst of the perverting of so much Scripture. But the prevailing, overcoming church is built on revelation so we can expect God to reveal His truth to us. However, you actually don’t need a revelation on water baptism. It is right there staring you in the face. Would it be possible for one minute for the apostles to be led astray from a direct command of the Lord to baptize in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost and then find them in willful disobedience? They knew what the Name was, and there is not one place in Scripture where they baptized any other way than in the Name of Lord Jesus Christ. Common sense would tell you that the Book of Acts is the church in action, and if they baptized that way, then that is the way to baptize. Now if you think that is strong, what do you think of this? Anyone who was not baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus had to be baptized over again.
Acts 19:1-6, "And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on Him Which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues and prophesied." There it is. These good people at Ephesus had heard about the coming Messiah. John had preached Him. They were baptized unto repentance of sins, looking FORWARD to believing on Jesus. But now it was time to look BACK to Jesus and be baptized unto REMISSION of sins. It was time to receive the Holy Ghost. And when they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Paul laid his hands on them and the Holy Ghost came upon them.
Oh, those dear folks at Ephesus were fine people; and if any one had a right to feel secure, they did. Notice how far they had come. They had come all the way up to accepting the coming Messiah. They were ready for Him. But don’t you see that in spite of that they had missed Him? He had come and gone. They needed to be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. They needed to be filled with the Holy Ghos ed in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, God will fill you with His Spirit. That is the Word. Acts 19:6 which we read was the fulfilling of Acts 2:38, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." See, Paul, by the Holy Ghost, said exactly what Peter said by the Holy Ghost. And what was said CANNOT be changed. It has to be the same from Pentecost until the very last elected one has been baptized. Galatians 1:8, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed."
Now some of you Oneness people baptize wrong. You baptize for regeneration as though being immersed in water saved you. Regeneration does not come by water; it is a work of the Spirit. The man who by the Holy Ghost gave the command, "Repent and be baptized every one in the Name of the Lord Jesus," did not say that water regenerated. He said it was only an evidence of a "good conscience toward God." That was all. I Peter 3:21, "The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ." I believe it.
If anyone has any false ideas that history can prove water baptism in any other way than in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I would advise you to read the histories and find out for yourself. The following is a true record of a Baptism which took place in Rome A.D. 100 and was reproduced in TIME magazine, December 5, 1955. "The deacon raised his hand, and Publius Decius stepped through the baptistry door. Standing waist-deep in the pool was Marcus Vasca the woodseller. He was smiling as Publius waded into the pool beside him. ‘Credis?’ he asked. ‘Credo,’ responded Publius. ‘I believe that my salvation comes from Jesus the Christ, Who was crucified under Pontius Pilate. With Him I died that with Him I may have Eternal Life.’ Then he felt strong arms supporting him as he let himself fall backward into the pool, and heard Marcus’ voice in his ear ---- ‘I baptize you in the Name of the Lord Jesus’ ---- as the cold water closed over him."
Right up until the truth was lost (and did not return until this last age ---- this is from Nicaea till the turn of this century) they baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. But it has come back. Satan can’t keep the revelation down when the Spirit wants to give it.
Yes, if there were three Gods, you might very well baptize for a Father, and a Son, and a Holy Ghost. But the REVELATION GIVEN TO JOHN was that there is ONE GOD and His Name is LORD JESUS CHRIST, and you baptize for ONE God and only one. That is why Peter baptized the way he did at Pentecost. He had to be true to the revelation which was, "Let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that SAME JESUS, Whom ye have crucified, BOTH LORD AND CHRIST." There He is, "The LORD JESUS CHRIST."
If Jesus is "BOTH" Lord and Christ, then He (Jesus) is, and cannot be else but "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" in ONE Person manifested in the flesh. It is NOT "God in three persons, blessed trinity," but ONE GOD, ONE PERSON with three major titles, with three offices manifesting those titles. Hear it once more. This same Jesus is "BOTH Lord and Christ." Lord (Father) and Christ (Holy Spirit) are Jesus, for He (Jesus) is BOTH of them (Lord and Christ).
If that doesn’t show us the true revelation of the Godhead, nothing will. Lord is NOT another one; Christ is NOT another one. This Jesus is the Lord Jesus Christ --- ONE GOD.
Philip one day said to Jesus, "Lord, show us the Father and it will suffice us." Jesus said unto him, "Have I been so long with you and you don’t know Me? He that has seen Me has seen the Father, so why do you say, Show us the Father? I and My Father are One." I quoted that once and a lady said, "Just a minute, Mr. Branham, you and your wife are one."
I said, "Not that kind."
She said, "I beg your pardon?"
So I said to her, "Do you see me?"
She said, "Yes."
I said, "Do you see my wife?"
She said, "No."
I said, "Then that oneness is a different kind, for He said, ‘When you see Me, you see the Father.’"
The prophet said that it would be light at the evening time. In the hymn it is written:
It’ll be Light in the evening time,
The path to Glory you will surely find,
In the water way, that’s the Light today,
Buried in the precious Name of Jesus.
Young and old, repent of all your sin,
The Holy Ghost will surely enter in.
The evening Light has come ---
It is a fact that God and Christ are one.
Not too long ago I was talking to a Jewish Rabbi. He said to me, "You Gentiles can’t cut God in three pieces and give Him to a Jew. We know better than that."
I said to him, "That’s just it, Rabbi, we don’t cut God in three pieces. You believe the prophets, don’t you?"
He said, "Certainly I do."
"Do you believe Isaiah 9:6?"
"Yes."
"Who was the prophet speaking of?"
"Messiah."
I said, "What relation will Messiah be to God?"
He said, "He will be God."
I said, "That’s right." Amen.
You can’t put God into three persons or three parts. You can’t tell a Jew that there is a Father, and a Son, and a Holy Ghost. He will tell you right quick where that idea came from. The Jews know this creed was established at the Nicene Council. No wonder they scorn us as heathen.
We talk about a God that does not change. The Jews believe that too. But the church changed its unchanging God from ONE to THREE. But the light is returning at eventide. How striking it is that this truth has come at the time when the Jews are returning to Palestine. God and Christ are ONE. This Jesus is BOTH LORD AND CHRIST.
John had the revelation, and JESUS was the Revelation, and He produced Himself right here in the Scripture ---- "I AM He That Was, Which Is and Shall Come, the Almighty. Amen."
If revelation is beyond you, look up and seek God for it. That is the only way you are ever going to get it. A revelation has to come from God. It never comes by human, natural endowments, but by Spiritual enduement. You can even memorize the Scripture, and though that is wonderful, that won’t do it. It has to be a revelation from God. It says in the Word that no man can say that Jesus is the Christ except by the Holy Ghost. You have to receive the Holy Ghost and then, and only then, can the Spirit give you the revelation that Jesus is the Christ: God, the Anointed One".

Brother Germain,

The word Messiah which means anoited, Christos or christus, where we get the word Christ from the latin word not hebrew. Saul, David and all the other KINGS were anoited, this does not mean he was GOD. He was the WORD OF GOD, not the Father, remember the scripture where the young man call Jesus GOOD, what was his answer. Did he lie when he said there is only and the WORD of GOD, and Jesus himself constantly tells us that the Father sent him, and by what authority he does the WORKS. Why would he say ,now all power has been given unto me if he had all power from the begining, did he lie, no it just seems like we want to do just what Paul spoke against. That is bringing GOD down to a perishable man trading in the truth for a lie. We must not take the word of GOD and twist it to our own destruction. An hand God people over to a reprobate mind, which means a mind disaproved of GOD. He does not accept or approve of the behavior or the way you think. The word of God is to bring us under the total submission of GOD. But when its twisted read ROMANS the 1st chapter and see what the consequences are, and then take a good look around you. An tell me if the TEACHING which should be the YEAST is LEAVENING the LOAF. But we teach free will and the Pastor says he done his Job all he needs to do is past the WORD. Something is wrong my brother, Christ is the answer but in the purest form, which is truth. If the leaven is false teaching the Kingdom will not rise.

May God Bless you

[Bro.Samuell Israell]

Yes Jesus is GOD also,as the father is GOD. In the begining,it was GOD and God. Gen 1:26 And God said, Let (US) make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.US means, more than one GOD.Man not created in image of Angels.
Isa 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I DWELL in the high and holy place, WITH HIM also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
So Jesus was GOD in the begining,(had different name)remember,the name JESUS came to Mary, from heaven, by way of the Angel from GOD.The Trinity, doctrine of men,Jesus and GOD the father is GOD doctrine of the BIBLE.
The trinity is a catholic dogma,just look it up! It (trinity doctrine) came with the reformation!!

Thank You and God Bless

[Lincoln Robinson]

Brother Israell,

I will answer your posting since you stayed on point and subject. Now you said yourself that the TRINITY is a catholic dogma, I agree 100%. With this been studied and understood and this being the foundation of the Christian beleif that the 3 in 1 God is spoken of here in the bible, you remove this scripture and any learn man who know the diffrence from bible versions and bible translations will know that in 1952 the scripture which proclaims the TRINITY was romove by 32 scholars backed by 50 denominations, we also know that there were 80 books in the KJV, in 1971the scriptures reapear and we end up with 66 books, Why? the Christian faith did not have its foundational scripture to proclaim Jesus as GOD and MAN so they fuss and threaten not to purchase the book, btween 1952 & 1971 they made $15 millions in sales, welcome to America.Lets put it back to make more money. Jesus was the WORD OF GOD manifested in the flesh. He never proclaim to be GOD and never said he was GOD. He made it clear that he that sent me is greater than I, He made it clear by what authority he did signs and wonders, he made it clear that he was not the father. Now as for him and the Father being one, This pertains to PURPOSE, Jesus was the WORD OF GOD. The bible declares his WORD will not come back VOID, it will GO into the world and carry out its PURPOSE, which is to redeem and man back to GOD, NO MAN CAN GET TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME, with out the WORD OF GOD no man has any knowledge of the FATHER, nor does man know GOD acceptable behavior in his KIngdom. The God in the old is the same in the new, Jesus was the WORD in the old and is manifested in the FLESH in the new. This is why he was in the beggining. The only reason Jesus did not know when he was to return and nor a angel in heaven, is because those WORDS have not proceeded from GOD. If God had spoken it Jesus would have known it because he was and is God spoken WORD. Remember the scriptures says the he came from the bossom of the father. If we stop trying to convert people to a religion and lead them to GOD we create a Kingdom as Isreal was. But as long as we want to play church we remain religious organizations with no power, only inticing words of man. Read Romans 1 very closely and you will see that its those who profess themselves wise is at blame for bringing God down to a PERISHABLE MAN, and its says for this cuase READ IT, we have sodomites, men laying with men and women with women, and it goes on to list all other sin. Why because of false DOCRINE ( teaching). Paul writes 10 books fighting with the early church against such teaching and the very 1st chapter of his ministry after Acts he tells us and warns us what would become of us. If the leaven is GOOD which is the true teaching of Jesus Christ its supose to LEAVEN the entire loaf, Look at our country and our people it has to be something wrong with the leaven. But you cant tell the Religious people that, because they have it and they are healing and casting out demons. Just keep these WORD is mind. I NEVER KNEW YOU< YOU WORKERS OF INIQUITY. I want to add one more thing my brother, you said Jesus said when you have seen the father you have seen me, Now the old testimates says no man has seen God and LIVED! Ans his diciples knowing this vex Jesus and he answer them in that manner, with them full knowing that GOD is and invisible omini present God. I will never leave you now forsak you, since the WORD OF GOD is in you and you have the same SPIRIT does this make you GOD, no its makes you one with the Father and a SON.

GOD BLESS
