The Truth About God and Jesus

Although humans worship many gods, there is only one true God. (John 17:3)

He is “the Supreme One,” the Creator of everything and the Source of all life. He alone is worthy of our worship.​—Daniel 7:18; Revelation 4:11.

What Is God’s Name?

God himself says: “I am Jehovah. That is my name.” (Isaiah 42:8 )

The personal name of God appears some 7,000 times in the Bible. However, many Bible translations improperly substitute this name with a title, such as “Lord.”

God wants you to be his friend, so he encourages you to “call on his name.”​—Psalm 105:1.

Jehovah’s Titles.

The Bible refers to Jehovah by such titles as “God,” “Almighty,” “Creator,” “Father,” “Lord,” and “Sovereign.” Many prayers are recorded in the Bible in which Jehovah is addressed by both a respectful title and his personal name, Jehovah.​—Daniel 9:4.

God’s Form.

God is an invisible spirit. (John 4:24) The Bible confirms that “no man has seen God.” (John 1:18)

The Bible reveals his feelings. People can cause him grief, or they can “bring pleasure to him.”​—Proverbs 11:20; Psalm 78:40, 41.

God’s Wonderful Attributes.

God is impartial toward people of all nations and backgrounds. (Acts 10:34, 35) He is also “merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and abundant in loyal love and truth.” (Exodus 34:6, 7) However, four attributes of God are especially appealing.

Power.

Since he is “God Almighty,” he has unlimited power to accomplish whatever he promises.​—Genesis 17:1.

Wisdom.

God’s wisdom surpasses that of anyone else. In that sense the Bible says that he “alone is wise.”​—Romans 16:27.

Justice.

God always does what is right. His actions are “perfect,” and he “is never unjust.”​—Deuteronomy 32:4.

Love.

The Bible says that “God is love.” (1 John 4:8 ) Not only does God show love​—he is the very personification of love. His superlative love influences everything he does, and it benefits us in many ways.

God’s Friendship With Humans.

God is our loving heavenly Father. (Matthew 6:9) If we put faith in him, we can be his friends. (Psalm 25:14) In fact, God invites you to draw close to him in prayer and to “throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.”​—1 Peter 5:7; James 4:8.

What Is the Difference Between God and Christ?


Jesus Is Not God. Jesus is unique​—he is the only person created directly by God. That is why the Bible calls him God’s Son. (John 1:14)

After creating Jesus, Jehovah used his firstborn as “a master worker” to create everything and everyone else.​—Proverbs 8:30, 31; Colossians 1:15, 16.

Jesus Christ never claimed to be God. Instead, he explained: “I am a representative from [God], and that One sent me.” (John 7:29) When speaking to one of his disciples, Jesus called Jehovah “my Father and your Father” and “my God and your God.” (John 20:17)

After Jesus died, Jehovah resurrected him to life in heaven and gave him great authority at His right hand.​—Matthew 28:18; Acts 2:32, 33.

Jesus Christ Can Help You Draw Close to God
Jesus came to the earth to teach us about his Father. Jehovah himself said about Jesus: “This is my Son, the beloved. Listen to him.” (Mark 9:7)

Jesus knows God better than anyone else. He said: “No one knows who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.”​—Luke 10:22.


Jesus reflects God’s qualities perfectly.

Jesus imitated his Father’s qualities so closely that he could say: “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father also.” (John 14:9)

Jesus drew people to God by reflecting his Father’s love in his own words and deeds. He said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

He also said: “True worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him.” (John 4:23)
Imagine that! Jehovah is looking for people like you who want to know the truth about him.

There is nothing like supreme God, it was human that created the idea of God, if supreme God exists, He would not care about human or have chosen ones.

None of this makes any sense. How can a perfect god create the Universe and still create Satan? After banishing Satan, he didn't banish him to Mars or some far away planet, but still allowed him have access to the garden meant for Adam and Eve? How can this same perfect God create the tree of life and place it in that same garden, only to punish Adam and Eve for eating from it? After punishing them and sending them out, that was when this "wise" god decided to guard the garden with flaming swords. Why didn't he do that before Satan gained access to the garden? And after wiping out humans with flood and sending his own son to die, he still didn't kill Satan. Make una think.

God is not a spirit. Humans are spirit. Humans can't be on the same level with God. GOd is simply divine, or the supreme being.

I didn't read all those above but just take note of this since it's from jw.

Jesus is not created by God, He is not like God, He is not almost God.
JESUS IS GOD.
And if you can't grasp that simple truth and believe in the trinity, I don't want to know what scripture you're quoting, it isn't the gospel of Christ, and I pray you repent and come to the true knowledge of God in order for you to be saved.

Your explanation was going on well until you now claim that God created Jesus Christ HIS Son....
-
I and my Father are 1 and the Same......

Know this and know peace...

The Father and the Son are one and the same..
We do not worship creation, we worship the CREATOR.....

The resurrection power is the power of our Lord Jesus Christ.....

Dear, Jesus knows and also love you. He has created a man in his own image sharing some traits with God. He can not intervene in affairs of man except he was invited and man ready to abide with his principle.

God gave us Jesus Christ from his own authority and from Jesus Christ , we have the Holy Spirit ....

All these existed before Christ and Holy Spirit came to existence on Earth...

So you can't begin to claim that God is not Christ pls....or Christ is not God ...

You can't begin to say that the ingredients used to make Egwusi soup can't be Egwusi soup .......

Christ ( God ) came on Earth as a man in fresh so that the world can accept him and see that we can do as he did in the fresh....
