Who Is Jesus Christ?
Is He the second person of the trinity?
-OR-
Is He one God manifested Father, Son, Holy Ghost?
As the Son of God, (The fleshly man):
- He was born a baby,(The firstborn son of Mary)
Isaiah 7:14 (Prophesy) - - Matthew 1:23-25 (Fulfilled).
- He increased in wisdom(Luke 2:52).
- He grew hungary(Matthew 4:2).
- He was a servant(Philippians 2:5-8).
- He dwelt on the earth(John 1:14).
- He prayed(Luke 22:44).
- He Sacrificed himself to put away sin.(Hebrews 9:26).
- He died(John 19:30-38).
As the Spirit, (The Eternal God):
- He was born the Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6).
The name of the son shall be called the mighty God, the everlasting Father.
- He knoweth all things (John 21:17).
- He fed multitudes (Matthew 14:19-21).
- He is the King of kings (Revelation 19:16).
- He created the earth (Colossians 1:16-17).
- He answeres prayer (John 14:13-14).
- He forgave sins (Mark 2:5-11).
- He arose (Luke 24:1-7).
Jesus is The Father
Isaiah 9:6, John 14:7-9, 1 Timothy 3:16
Jesus is The Son
Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:31, Matthew 16:16
Jesus is The Holy Ghost
John 14:17-18, Ephesians 4: 4-6, Romans 8: 9
and these three are one.
1 John 5:7
God was manifest in the flesh and preached unto the Gentiles.
1 Tomothy 3:16
God said "Before me there was no God formed,
neither shall there be after me.
Isaiah 43:10-11
Jesus said "If ye believe not that I am He,
ye shall die in your sins".
John 8:23-24
Jesus said "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father".
John 14:6-11
No where is there a trinity of persons in the Bible
Only a trinity of Manifestations.
The three main speakers in the New Testament:
- Jesus speaks of Himself
- John 14:7-11 He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.
- John 10:30 I And my Father are one.
- Peter speaks of Jesus
- Acts 2:36 Jesus is both Lord and Christ.
- Acts 5:29-31 Jesus is both Prince and Saviour.
- I Pet. 1:11 Jesus is both Spirit and Christ.
- Eph. 4:4 There is one Spirit.
- Paul speaks of Jesus
- Acts 9:5 Jesus is the Lord
- Eph. 4:4 There is one Lord.
- Col. 2:9 All the Godhead is in Jesus.
- I Tim 3:16 Jesus is God manifested in the flesh.
From the beginning of time we see
only One God in the scriptures.
From Genesis to Revelation, we never see three persons,
but three positions or offices of One God.
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord" (Deut. 6:4)
Psalm 86:10, Deuteronomy 4:35, Isaiah 44:6, Isaiah 45:5-6, Isaiah 46:9,
Isaiah 45:18, I Timothy 2:5, John 2:19, Revelation 1:8, Ephesians 4:5-6
God is A Spirit:
- I Kings 8:27 This is why we can say God is omnipresent.
- John 4:24 God is a Spirit.
- Acts 17:24-25 God, that created the world had no body.
- I Tim. 1:17 Again, an invisible God.
- Luke 24:39 ".. .for a spirit hath not flesh and bones...".
- Nowhere in the scripture do we find an old white headed, bearded God on a throne
between two others. Instead, as John 1:18 states, "No man hath seen God at any time..."
God was manifested in Jesus Christ:
- Is. 7:14 Immanuel (God with us)
- Is. 9:6 The son born would be the Everlasting Father
- Jn. 1:1,14 The word that was God became flesh
- Jn. 1:10 He was the creator in flesh
- I Tim. 3:16 God was manifest in the flesh
- Jn. 8:24,58 Jn. 14:6-11 II Cor. 5:19
- So the only body of God you will ever see when we get to heaven is the body of Jesus Christ.
John 1:18. "No man hath seen God at any time.." the son has declared him. There are not three persons in the
Godhead but three manifestations of one God. He fathered creation, He's the Son of redemption, the Holy Ghost
in regeneration. It is not a mystery that can't be understood. There is only one God.
