[sub][/sub] Jesus is the spirit of God that entered into a woman and was born into flesh as son(after passing through pregnancy stages) and lived among us. whatever that made the mother of Jesus to be pregnant is the father of the baby. Jesus is God in the office of the son.

Jesus is God, he existed before creation. In the beginning was the word, and the word was God and that word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. Jesus was not created, there is no where in the bible that indicates he was created, rather, he shared glory with God before the world was.

Jesus did the acts only God can do. Such as bringing Lazarus back to life, commanding the sea to stop, shining in the glory of God before Moses and and Elijah. Jesus is that fire that spoke to Moses, he said he is the "I AM".

Jesus is God because he is a Saving Spirit, or Life giving Spirit, who sends or gives the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God. The first Adam sinned due to the flesh, but the second Adam is the Life giving Spirit.

All who put their trust in the Life giving Spirit are saved, Jesus does only what God does and takes names that only God takes. Such as being the first and the Last, the I AM, the Good Shephard, the Savoir, remember God says he will not share his glory with another being. But Jesus shares this glory.

Jesus took on the nature of flesh, when the word became flesh and dwelt amongst US. The Son of God, emptied himself of his glory and power to become a lowly servant, because it was the will of God, that he should die for us, and as a result, all those who believe in him, are born again and become adopted children of God, he will raise them up, in the last day.

According to the good will of God in Christ Jesus.

I honestly wonder where some peoples senses are located may be in their anus. You don't believe in something allow me believe in what i believe,NO you won't.since religion na scam believe what u want and leave people alone
Re: The Truth About God And Jesus by SeriouslySense(m): 12:15pm On Feb 26, 2023
Therefore i plead and encourage you, to believe in the one God sent, to save you and renew your being through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. For when we were sinners, God loved us and sent his Son to Save us and pay for our sins, then how much more are we justified, when we believe in the sacrifice on the Cross. Jesus did the most amazing thing on the cross, he took the cross the symbol of death, pain and destruction and turned it into a beautiful thing, a Symbol of grace and salvation.

No one in the history of the world has transformed a symbol of sorrows and death into a symbol of grace and salvation.

If you feel like God is pulling you, do not resist, you can pray to God to reveal his salvation to you. Everyone the Father draws to him will be saved. Its personal and its God who does it, not human being.

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.

OP, YOU MEAN PORKIES ABOUT GOD AND JESUS - FICTITIOUS ENTITIES?

"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)"

This your above teaching is very wrong.


Jesus Christ is God the Son as explained below

John 1:1 The Eternal Word
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 He was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
John 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
John 1:6 John’s Witness: The True Light
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
John 1:7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. (John 1:1-7)

From John 1: 1-7, the christian bible referred to Jesus Christ as the Word and the Word with God and the Word was God. The Word is referred to as "He". The Word, also referred as "He", was with God the Father in the beginning as seen in John 1:1-2. This is an evidence that Jesus Christ is God.

But in Jehovah witness bible, it reads that
"In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was a god". Note that the Jehovah witness bible refers to the word as a god.

Noted that Word in the christian bible starts with a capital letter but in Jehovah witness bible, word is written with small letter.

Jesus Christ is God. We have God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit - Three God in 1 person (Trinity). Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son of God. We Anglicans recite the Apostles' Creed.

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit took part in the creation of the heaven and earth . That is why God said "Let us make man in our own Image" (Genesis 1:26). God the Father was referring to God the Son and God the Holy Spirit when He said "Let us make man in Our Own Image". God the Father said "Let there be light " and "there was light" (Genesis 1:3). God the Father spoke the Word and the Word which is God the Son brought the light into existence as seen in John Chapter 1. Even before the creation of the heavens and earth, God the Holy Spirit was hovering over the earth (Genesis 1:2)


Philippians 2:5 The Humbled and Exalted Christ
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
Philippians 2:6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
Philippians 2:7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
Philippians 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
Philippians 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
Philippians 2:11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:5 - 11)

Philippians 2:5- 11 makes it clear that Jesus Christ is God. He came to this world humbled Himself, was crucified and was resurrected after 3 day. God the Father has given Him a name above every other name and at the name of Jesus Christ every knee shall bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. This is the reason why every christian ends their prayers with "in Jesus name, Amen" or in Jesus Christ name, Amen".


Matthew 3:16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.

Matthew 3:17 And suddenly a came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17)

In Matthew 3:16- 17 God the Father referred to God the Son as His Beloved Son in whom He is well pleased after the baptism of Jesus Christ. God the Holy Spirit descended in a form of a dove. This shows that Jesus Christ is God

John 3:16 - For God so love the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life

Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son of God the Father. He was born of a virgin Mary. Jesus Christ was not created. For christians to believe in Jesus Christ so that they would have eternal life shows that Jesus Christ is God.


2 Corinthians 13:14 - The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen

In 2 Corinthians 13:14 as seen above, Jesus Christ is refered to as Lord.

These are mysteries that you cannot understand with your human comprehension but they are true.

This is my personal contribution.

You'll never see other religions arguing Christianity with Christians. They are the ones that'll bring up a matter and still argue amongst themselves.

Tithe
Christmas
Sunday worship
Jesus as God or not
Versions of Bibles
How they even worship in their different churches
Etc

What's that thing that they are unanimous about?

Just asking.

If as a Christian u believe Jesus is not God but you still worship him, then u are practicing polytheism which is the worship of more than one God. And that means you are a pagan.
God clearly says he doesn't share his glory with anyone. He says I'm one and only him alone should be worshiped.
Jesus said in John 5.23 worship me as you worship the father.
Jesus is God, he's incarnation of divinity in flesh.

I pity you lots that think you are wise, trying to understand God and spiritual matters with the shallow understanding that you have acquired on earth. trying to understand the mystery of Jesus and God with earthly logic is like searching for answers to a physics question in a biology text book.
The Bible contains a higher form of intelligence or wisdom through which the human can elevate and become a spirit , so that his life does not end on Earth.
A carnal mind cannot understand spiritual things, the doctrine will sound foolish to some people because it is not an earthly knowledge.

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 I think this is erroneous 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.
This is subliminal error.

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.

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.
WHAT TRINITY, THE WORSHIP OF ODIN, ZEUS AND PESSAIDON. SIR OF YOU DIE BELIEVING IN THE TRINITY, YOU ARE GOONG TO HELL. THERE OS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD, HE CREATED EVERYTHING INCLUDING CHRIST. CHRIST IS "GOD" HE IS LIKE HIS FATHER- HOLY AND JUST, EVERLASTING, THROUGH HIM GOD CREATED EVERYTHING ELSE. HE IS THE SON NOT "THE FATHER"THE HOLY SPIRIT ISN'T A PERSON, THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN APPEAR AS FIRE, DOVE, WIND, LIGHT ETC, AS GOD WISHES. TRINITY IS FALSE AND SHOULD BE DISREGARDED.

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.

Re: The Truth About God And Jesus by APOSTLECHUMA: 1:01pm On Feb 26, 2023
GOD IS AN ETERNAL BEING. B4 THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE, HE LIVED ALONE AS ELOHIM. ELOHIM MEANS ONE WHO DWELLS BY HIMSELF ALONE. THEN, HE HAD NOT CREATED ANYTHING, NO HEAVEN, NO EARTH AND NO ANGELS AND NOTHING WAS WORSHIPPING HIM. BEING OMNIPOTENT, HE HAD POWER TO DO ALL THINGS AND IN HIM WERE MANY ATTRIBUTES. HE HAD POWER TO BE CREATOR, POWER TO BE GOD, SAVIOUR ETC. TO BE CREATOR HE NEEDED TO CREATE AND WHEN HE DID, HE BECAME A CREATOR. WHILE HE WAS LIVING ALONE BEFORE HE MADE ANGELS, HE HAD POWER TO BE GOD BUT TO BE GOD, HE NEEDED TO CREATE BEINGS TO WORSHIP HIM BECAUSE THE WORD GOD MEANS OBJECT OF WORSHIP. WHEN HE CREATED ANGELS AND THEY BEGAN TO WORSHIP HIM, THAT WAS WHEN HE BECAME GOD. BEFORE THEN, HE WASNT, THOUGH POTENTIALLY HE WAS BUT SOMETHING NEEDED TO WORSHIP HIM FOR HIM TO BE WORTH OF THAT WORD. FROM HERE WE SEE THAT THE GODSHIP OF GOD HAD A BEGINNING THOUGH AS AS ETERNAL ONE, HE HAD NO BEGINNING. NB; AFTER GOD MADE HUMAN BEINGS, HE HAD A FAMILY ON EARTH VIA CREATION AND HE BECAME JEHOVAH, WHICH MEANS ONE THAT EXISTS WITH HIS FAMILY. NB: MANY HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY GOD ALLOWED THE FALL OF MANKIND WHEN BEING OMNISCIENCE HE KNEW ABOUT IT AHEAD OF TIME AND BEING OMNIPOTENT, HE HAD POWER TO STOP IT BUT DID NOT. HERE IS THE ANSWER. GOD HAS ATTRIBUTE TO SAVE AND IS OUR ONLY SAVIOUR. HE DESIGNED MAN IN SUCH A WAY THAT MAN WOULD REQUIRE SALVATION FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE AVENUE TO DISPLAY HIS POWER TO SAVE. DONT FAULT HIM, THE FALL OF MANKIND WAS HIS PROGRAM THOUGH HE DIDNT CAUSE IT DIRECTED. HE MADE MAN A FREE MORAL AGENT AND THAT RIGHT FOR FREEDOM OF CHOICE WAS WHAT CAUSED THE FALL. WHEN THE FALL TOOK PLACE, IT OPENED UP THE DOOR FOR GOD TO COME IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME TO SAVE HUMANITY AS OUR ONLY SAVIOUR. IF YOU GO TO UNIVERSITY AND STUDY MEDICINE AND THERE IS NO SICK PERSON ON EARTH, WILL YOU PRACTISE ? IN THESAME MANNER, WE WONT HAVE KNOWN GOD'S POWER TO SAVE, TO HEAL ETC IF THE FALL DIDNT TAKE PLACE. SALVATION REQUIRED BLOOD FOR WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF GOD, THERE IS NO REMISSION OF SIN. GOD IS A SPIRIT AND A SPIRIT CAN NOT SHED BLOOD AS IT TAKES FLESH TO SHED BLOOD. SINCE THE WORK OF SALVATION REQUIRED BLOOD AND GOD IS OUR ONLY SAVIOUR, HOW WAS HE GOING TO PLAY HIS ROLE AS OUR ONLY SAVIOUR. HE IS OMNIPOTENT REMEMBER AND BEING OMNIPOTENT WITH THE POWER TO DO ALL THINGS, HE BUILT A HOUSE FOR HIMSELF, A HOUSE NOT BUILT WITH BLOCKS, BUT A HOUSE OF FLESH FOR GOD DOESNT LIVE IN HOUSES BUILT WITH BRICKS. THAT BODY OF FLESH HE BUILT FOR HIMSELF, WAS CONCEIVED IN THE WOMB OF MARY AND WAS BORN INTO THIS WORLD. HEBREW 1-3 SAID THAT JESUS- CHRIST IS THE VISIBLE FORM OF THE INVISIBLE GOD. ISAIAH 9-6, THAT CHILD THAT WAS BORN WAS THE EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE ETC AND WAS CALLED EMMANUEL IN MATTHEW 1-23, WHICH MEANS WHAT ? WHICH MEANS GOD WITH US. WHICH GOD ? THE VERY GOD THAT MADE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, WHO WAS ONCE ABOVE US, CAME DOWN IN FLESH TO SAVE US AS GOD EMMANUEL. I CAN DWELL ON THIS TILL FOR A THOUSAND YEARS, BUT SIMPLY PUT, JESUS-,CHRIST WAS NO OTHER PERSON, BUT THE ALMIGHTY GOD WHO MADE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, MANIFESTED IN HUMAN FLESH TO SAVE US AS OUR ONLY SAVIOUR. 1 TIM 3-16 SAID IT ALL THAT WITHOUT CONTROVERSY THAT GOD WAS MADE MANIFEST IN FLESH. WHO WAS THAT ? THATS JESUS-CHRIST. THATS WHY JESUS REBUKED PHILIP WHEN HE ASKED HIM TO SHOW THEM THE FATHER. TO RECEIVE THE REVELATION THAT THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD WAS IN CHRIST BODILY, NEEDS DIVINE REVELATION AND WHEN IT IS REVEALED TO U, U WILL SEE WHY JESUS-CHRIST IN REV 1-8 SAID " I AM THE BEGINNING AND THE END, THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, HE THAT WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME, THE ALMIGHTY. WE HAVE ONLY ONE SUPREME ALMIGHTY AND JESUS-CHRIST WAS THAT ALMIGHTY GOD IN HUMAN FORM. FOR UR QUESTIONS, CALL APOSTLE CHUMA ON ------ 07054142412 OR EMAIL cfountainoftruth@gmail.com

You have written well.

These are things, that we grow to understand or what the Spirit of God reveals to us.

It better for everyone to read their bible, God says he will teach each one of us.

we should not be lazy, rather we should create time to read our bible by ourselves, technology has made reading much easier. We now have bible apps, one can even listen to audio Bible, its wonderful.

There is no excuse to claim ignorance.

chiboycue:




"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)"

This your above teaching is very wrong.


Jesus Christ is God the Son as explained below

John 1:1 The Eternal Word
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 He was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
John 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
John 1:6 John’s Witness: The True Light
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
John 1:7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. (John 1:1-7)

From John 1: 1-7, the christian bible referred to Jesus Christ as the Word and the Word with God and the Word was God. This is an evidence that Jesus Christ is God.

But in Jehovah witness bible, it reads that
"In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was a god". Note that the Jehovah witness bible refers to the word as a god.

Noted that Word in the christian bible starts with a capital letter but in Jehovah witness bible, word is written with small letter.

Jesus Christ is God. We have God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit - Three God in 1 person (Trinity). Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son of God. We Anglicans recite the Apostles' Creed.

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit took part in the creation of the heaven and earth . That is why God said "Let us make man in our own Image" (Genesis 1:26). God the Father was referring to God the Son and God the Holy Spirit when He said "Let us make man in Our Own Image". God the Father said "Let there be light " and "there was light" (Genesis 1:3). God the Father spoke the Word and the Word which is God the Son brought the light into existence as seen in John Chapter 1. Even before the creation of the heavens and earth, God the Holy Spirit was hovering over the earth (Genesis 1:2)


Philippians 2:5 The Humbled and Exalted Christ
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
Philippians 2:6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
Philippians 2:7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
Philippians 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
Philippians 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
Philippians 2:11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:5 - 11)

Philippians 2:5- 11 makes it clear that Jesus Christ is God. He came to this world humbled Himself, was crucified and was resurrected after 3 day. God the Father has given Him a name above every other name and at the name of Jesus Christ every knee shall bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. This is the reason why every christian ends their prayers with "in Jesus name, Amen" or in Jesus Christ name, Amen".


Matthew 3:16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.

Matthew 3:17 And suddenly a came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17)

In Matthew 3:16- 17 God the Father referred to God the Son as His Beloved Son in whom He is well pleased after the baptism of Jesus Christ. God the Holy Spirit descended in a form of a dove. This shows that Jesus Christ is God

John 3:16 - For God so love the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life

Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son of God the Father. He was born of a virgin Mary. Jesus Christ was not created. For christians to believe in Jesus Christ so that they would have eternal life shows that Jesus Christ is God.

These are mysteries that you cannot understand but they are true.

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.

If your own belief of what trinity means is an idea of pagan gods, then I'm sorry for you.
I don't argue much online about religion, because I believe it is only God that can convict someone at the end.

If you have a wrong interpretation of who Christ is, and the divine representation of the triune God, then I'm worried about your salvation and I pray you will one day come to the true knowledge of God before it's too late.

The trinity is one God in three different person(not form) each with different task, an illustration I use to understand the concept is like taking Ice and put it in a plate, then heat the plate, the scene in the process whereby the ice (solid) is melting (liquid) and at the same time evaporating(gas) all in different states but still H20 is like a simple illustration of the trinity of God, even though this may not be completely accurate but it's the best I can come up with.
