Is Jesus God?

 

We receive many lists from various sources with scriptures claiming to prove that Jesus is God (Supreme Being). Most are given as supposedly supporting the trinity doctrine; others are given to support the oneness teaching. 

We should note that we do not claim that the Hebrew and Greek words for "God" are never applied to Jesus. The Hebrew background for the words that are often translated as "God" has the meaning of might, power, strength. Only when these words are used of the "one God" from whom are all (1 Corinthians 8:6) do they take on the meaning of the Supreme Mighty One. In the very few instances where it is applied to Jesus, therefore, we do not believe that it means the Supreme Mighty One (Supreme Being). The Hebrew and Greek words for "God" are used in different ways in the Bible, and they are not always used as referring to the Supreme Being or false gods. We have shown this in our study: The Hebraic Usage of the Titles for "God". As we have shown in our study Jesus is Not Jehovah the default reasoning is not to imagine that Jesus is Jehovah, but rather that Jesus is not his God, Jehovah.


The reality is that in none of the scriptures presented do we find that Jesus is actually declared to be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. There is nothing in any of the scriptures presented that declares the trinitarian concept that God Almighty is three persons. There is nothing in any of the scripturea presented that declares Jesus to be his own Father. All these concepts have to be formulated beyond what is stated, and many assumptions have to be created beyond what is stated, and then the assumptions have to be added to and read into in each scripture in order to for the scripture to appear to be supporting the respective concepts.

On this page, we also hope to address scriptures that are alleged to present God's Holy Spirit as a person of God.

We are presenting below links to pages that present many of the scriptures being presented from many different sources that are alleged to teach that Jesus is God Almighty or that God's Holy Spiirt is a separate and distinct person of God. Either comments are links to related studies may be provided. This is a work in progress, so many scriptures are presented without comments or links at this time; we are endeavoring to get to the scriptures, God willing, as we have time to do so. -- Ronald R.
