    I cannot understand how -expletive that called themselves find it so hard to believe in their hearts that Jesus is also God . Jesus himself says that he is God . Read from John chapter 8 verses 54 -59 . Jesus answered the Jews saying if I honour myself my honour is nothing it is my Father that honoureth me of whom you say that he is your God yet you have not known him but I kimonos him and if should say that I know him not I shall be a liar like unto you :but I know him and keep his saying .your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day and he saw it and was glad, then said the Jews unto Jesus thou are not yet fifty years old and has thou seen Abraham ?Jesus said unto them Before Abraham was I AM.

    here in John chapter 8 verse 58 . Jesus our lord and savior declared who he truly is God the great I am .



    Even to the prophet Isaiah in chapter 9 verse 6 declared That Jesus is the mighty God and the everlasting Father .

    Dear Leon,

    Looks like you've had people replying and offering fake news. I'm sorry you had to receive that. Their positions are mostly based on a human logical fallacy, for example: "Jesus is the son of God, therefore in my limited human mind, Jesus can't be God, despite the many verses saying He is": Link

    Also, the name "God" can refer to God the Father or God the trinity. The trinity is clearly explained in the Bible: Link - God is plural in many cases and uses the pronoun "we": Genesis 1:26.

    Others spread anti-Christian propaganda that the trinity is somehow polytheism, which is another hateful attack based on a lie. Just because someone has a hard time comprehending how they are "one" ( John 10:30) doesn't mean 'more than one'. It clearly says they are one God. That's like someone assuming the skin of an orange, the pulp, and seeds are 3 oranges.

    So, once someone reads the Word they can choose to either believe it or not. Those who don't want to believe the trinity have to perform mental gymnastics to try to discredit the book, the author, the context, the intent, the Greek, etc. It's the same old trick and most of us don't buy into it.

    We will believe God's Word over man's words any day. We believe the Word is God's truth and when we read literally that Jesus is the Word and John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" then we have faith and believe it says exactly what it means, without anyone trying to be cute and deceive otherwise. We will lovingly call out fake news, propaganda, and false prophets everytime we see it.

    Please ignore anyone trying to undermine what the Bible says and trying to discredit Jesus. Anyone trying to do that should be ashamed of themselves and should beware of doing the devil's work.

    God bless...

    John 8 v , 18,19 , 29 , 42

    V 54 ,55

    Jesus gives credit to his father as being His source , makes perfect sense that Jesus is Gods son .

    Many other examples in the Bible Jesus gives God the credit for who he is and where he came from . Jesus is the Son of God .

    Bob ,yes ! Thankyou !

    Jesus asked the his disciples, who do you say I am ?

    Peter got it right when he said the Christ , son of the living God . Jesus said he was taught by God and blessed for knowing this .

    Jesus never said IAM GOD , but that I came from GOD , so he is Gods son .

    Being one with God is a relationship . We also can have this relationship, read John 17 .

    Hello Bob, These scriptures in Luke came to mind.

    Luke 3:36-38

    Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem which was the son of Noe, Which was the son of Mathusula, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

    Yes Adam was made in the image of God

    Jesus was made in the image of God .

    Jesus is the second Adam a Quickening spirit .

    The first Adam was a living soul .

    God is father of all .
  • Carleton - In Reply on 1 John 1 - 3 years ago
    Hello Bob, is there a difference between Adam as the son of God and believers as sons of God and Jesus the Son of God as written in the scriptures? In my heart , there is a reason for the capitalization.
  • Bob - In Reply on 1 John 1 - 3 years ago
    Yes there certainly is a difference, yet God is father of all .
