Who do you say Jesus is?

[back2thebible]

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. ¹² His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had^[a] a name written that no one knew except Himself. ¹³ He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,^[b] followed Him on white horses. ¹⁵ Now out of His mouth goes a sharp^[c] sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. ¹⁶ And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND

LORD OF LORDS.

It's been a while since I've been here, life has been extremely busy. Just to express myself again:

 

I believe that Jesus is the uncreated, Creator who came to redeem His creation on the cross and in that process died and rose again on the third day.  

[Guest DRS81]

Jesus is God in the flesh.

[john14:6]

Jesus is God who stepped out of heaven, came to earth, and became a man so He could die on the cross to pay my "sin debt" that I could not pay

[Guest AFlameOfFire]

Christ Jesus the Lord is the Son of the living God who gave his life for us that we might live through Him

[MarkNigro]

When people ask you, Who do you say Jesus is?

 

Jesus Christ is Lord God Almighty and Almighty Saviour

 

Jesus acknowledges what Thomas said in John 20:28 is true. Therefore, Jesus declared Himself to be God Almighty by the acknowledgment, since there is only one God.

 

John 20:28-29

28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

 

In the following verse Jesus declares that He is "I AM." That is a direct reference to God Almighty.

 

John 8:58

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.

 

Jesus declared that He and His Father are one. That makes Him God.

 

John 10:30

I and my Father are one.

 

There are many passages in the Holy Bible that declare that Jesus Christ is Lord God Almighty. There are none that declare otherwise.

 

Jesus created the world and all things. God Almighty created all things. Jesus is God Almighty.

 

John 1:1-3,10-11,14

¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

²The same was in the beginning with God.

³ All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

¹¹He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

¹⁴And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

 

Colossians 1:14-17

¹⁴In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

¹⁵Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

¹⁶ For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

¹⁷And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

 

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

 

Hebrews 3:4

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

 

There is only one “the Lord,” that is God. Jesus is the Lord, and therefore God.

 

1 Corinthians 12:3

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

⁴And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

⁶And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

¹⁰And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

¹¹And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

¹⁵But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

¹⁷And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

²⁷But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

The triune God, aka the Trinity, is declared.

 

1 John 5:7

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

 

The triune God Almighty is revealed. Notice name is singular not plural.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

 

Again the triune God is revealed. Notice the 3 plurals.

Romans 14:9-11

⁹ For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

¹¹ For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Do You Have A Special Scripture?

 

And What Is It?

 

And Why?

[kismet]

Who do I say Jesus is? That's a bit ambiguous. For a few days not too long ago I toyed with the idea that Lord Jesus Christ was the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna. Now I'm thinking that that's unlikely.

I have heard some say that he is Lord Balaram, God's foremost expansion. I know at least one Hindu who believes this and says he can prove it. Or perhaps he is an expansion of one of God's other energies. I don't know. I consider him a Saviour. But is he THE Saviour? I have no idea. I actually doubt it.

 

One thing is for sure: I follow him in the sense that leads a way of being, less of believing. I am more than willing to "follow him" as though to "follow in his footsteps." I think faith is important too, though. But faith without righteousness is meaningless. There has to be at the least a mental acceptance of the right thing to do. An internal "turning away" from sin or wrong. I think this is ultimately what Jesus represented, and so I have deep respect for him.

Jesus said it for me;

 

John 14:6 Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by me"
