Is Jesus God? There are actually two answers to this question. One is most definitely yes! The other answer is no. And the answer depends upon what you mean by "God". Confused? There's no need to be! You see, the word ''God'' in the Bible refers to two things. In one instance it refers to the 'Sovereign of the universe', the 'only true God'. And in another instance it refers to the divine nature, the 'God nature' and the 'name of God'. So I will show you that while Jesus is FULLY divine and FULLY God by nature (being begotten of the Father from eternity, Micah 5:2, Proverbs 8:22-30), and possessing the Father's own name, he is not the 'sovereign of the universe', the 'only true God' as this is the Father alone.
"The Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, IS TRULY GOD IN INFINITY, BUT NOT PERSONALITY." (Ms, 116, 1905, par.19)
In other words, Christ is God in respect of being divine and eternal. But in His distinctive character and person, He is NOT the 'only true God', He is the SON OF the only true God - His Father!
"You desire to hear what sister White believes ... Our Heavenly Father is the God of the universe, and Christ is the divine Son, the one equal with the Father." (Ms 49, 1906.26)
QUICK NOTE: Jesus is never called 'God the Son' in the Bible. He is always called the 'Son OF God'.
Now let me confirm quickly that I am no way trying to make Jesus a 'lesser' being than His Father. The Bible confirms that Jesus is equal with the Father (Philippians 2:6). Jesus is as divine as His Father, just as my son is as human as me. But what I addressing here are those Trinitarian and unitarian confusions that make Jesus and the Father part of the same being.
According to the Trinity and Unitarian doctrines, Jesus Christ is the 'eternal, self-existent, God', known as 'God the Son', viewing Him as the 'one God', even thinking Jesus is the Father also. But to believe that Jesus is also the 'Father' Himself is to believe that Jesus is the immortal God but died, is the invisible God that no man can see, but was seen, is as great (in authority) as His Father but said His Father is greater than He, is the begotten Son and the unbegotten God, came from Himself, prayed to Himself, thanked Himself, bore witness of Himself, went back to Himself, sits at the right hand of Himself, is His own Father and own Son, left Heaven and yet was there all the time. AND SO THE CONFUSION OF BABYLON CONTINUES! And the whole world is DECEIVED! So let me unravel the confusion. I will start with the most used verse to support the theory that Jesus is that 'one God' Himself. John 1:1:
John 1:1-2
Those four words above, the 'WORD WAS GOD' has convinced many Christians to believe that Jesus is the 'only true God' Himself. And yet they miss the simple meaning of what John was saying. Is this all John had to say about Christ? No. Look at what he said toward the end of his gospel:
If I copied and posted Hellen White and other false teachers the 🤥TeddyBug🤥 worships, he would be praising me for coping and pasting ‼️‼️
What a lying hypocrite‼️‼️‼️‼️
May as well get used to it my dear false teaching flat earther and mythical unicorn rider, you’ll get even more threads and refutations like those that expose all your flaky false teachings‼️‼️‼️‼️🤣😀😁🤓🤣
