☑️ ANSWER I AM ego eimi Yahweh eternal one GOD ..... ☹️ but the cults teach another Jesus a Jesus that cannot save anybody and often times it's because they deny the divinity of Christ teach that he is an archangel nothing more than a prophet or one of many gods
👹 Islam surah 5:16 And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?
👹 Jehovah witnesses.Scriptural evidence indicates that the name Michael applied to God’s Son before he left heaven to become Jesus Christ and also after his return” (Aid to Bible Understanding, Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, 1971, 1152)
👹 Mormons.Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers, and we were all born as siblings in heaven to them both (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163)
🙂👍👉The deity of Jesus (or believing Jesus is God) is one of the essentials of the Christian faith. This is one of the main things (if not THE main thing) that separates us from nearly every other cult and faith in the world. Nearly every cult or non-Christian faith will readily accept that Jesus existed, believing Jesus was a prophet, an angel, a good man, a good teacher, a very enlightened man, God’s son (a created being), etc… However, they will flatly deny Jesus’ deity, and consider it heresy to call Jesus God.
Why is it so crucial to believe Jesus is God❓
First, this is how we become a Christian in the first place.
(Rom 10:9)(NASB) that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
(Rom 10:13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
1️⃣ If Jesus is not our Lord (God), then how can we confess Him or call upon Him in prayer? If Jesus is not our God, He cannot be our Savior; and if He is not our Savior, then our sins are not paid for, nor covered by His blood, and we cannot get to Heaven without this.
2️⃣ Secondly, if one denies the deity of Jesus, they are rejecting the Bible. The Bible teaches VERY clearly over and over that Jesus is God, and Jesus Himself affirmed His deity in a number of places in the gospels. I am not going to list the many proofs that show Jesus IS God here, but you can go here to see them.
3️⃣ In addition, the denial of Jesus’ deity means one is rejecting the trinity, or the triune nature of God: one God, manifest in three distinct persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three have ALWAYS existed as God (not created and never simply men), and are all equal.
*** Note: Christians do not believe in three separate gods (tritheism), we do not believe God manifests Himself in three different ways (modalism), nor do we believe in many gods (pantheism).
👉👉
If one rejects the deity of Jesus, and the triune nature of God, they are rejecting essentials of Christianity, and God’s Word. In fact, it makes both Jesus and the writers of the Bible liars, because they testified to this fact. If the Bible is a lie, then Christianity falls.
Friend, no mere man could live a perfect, sinless life as Jesus did (2 Cor 5:21)(1 Pet 2:22)(1 Jn 3:5)(Heb 4:15)(1 Pet 1:19), and make atonement for ALL the sins of this world. No mere man could raise Himself from the dead as Jesus did (Jn 2:19-22). Please do not go to judgment one day, and have to face the Judge of this world (Jesus: Jn 5:22,27, 2 Tim 4:1, 2 Cor 5:10), and tell Him ” I rejected who you truly are and never really knew you.” If we deny who Jesus is before men, He will deny us as well (Mt 10:32-33)(2 Tim 2:12). And, if one doesn’t truly know who Jesus is, they will hear the scariest words in the whole Bible, “I never knew you: depart from me” (Mt 7:23)(Mt 25:12)(Lk 13:27).
