I am among those who believe he was God in flesh (Matthew 1:23). In other words, God decided to come to earth as a person, so he did so as Jesus Christ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 1 Timothy 3:16 - And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. John 1:1-3, 14 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made … And the Word became 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 Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16) and therefore equal in nature to God the Father (John 5:18). Jesus is “I AM” (John 8:58), the God of Moses (Exodus 3:14). Revelation 1:8 - “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Act 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Non-trinnies go ballistic and SQUEAL LIKE PIGS if the Textus Receptus version of 1 John 5:7 is quoted - so I leave that out of Trinity proof text stuff - though I believe it is valid to look at Johannine Comma as scripture. Trinity doctrine was a DEVELOPMENT in Christian History - and not as late as some would have us think. In the CATACOMBS are Trinity symbols - folks, this is way early in Christian History - before Christianity was legal in Rome. The NOT-GODDERS try to wiggle out of Thomas saying "My Lord and My God" to the resurrected Christ - saying Thomas referred to both the Lord and the Father like separately, even though Jesus had once told Philip "if ye have seen me - ye have seen the Father". Jesus is God. Holy Spirit is God. It was first necessary to prove that Jesus is God - to combat Arianism - and the first version of Nicene Creed in 325 stuck a fork in Arianism. The version of Nicene Creed in 381 expanded on Holy Spirit - saying "We believe in the Holy Spirit - the Lord - the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, With the Father and the Son He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets". It's a Triune God - a package deal - a full set; the GODHEAD which bodily dwells in Christ - evident in scripture as far back as "Let us make man in our image" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 1:14 (AV) 14 And 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. Philippians 2:5–6 (AV) 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: The underlined above in Greek morphe theos huparchon = never ceasing to be God ... he became a man, servant etc. He IS definitely God He IS definitely God. He IS definitely unique in time and eternity (for the neither Father or the Holy Spirit are men, and no other man other than Jesus is God).
