Jesus Christ Is God Part II

  

  This is a continuation of the previous article I did in which I went over many verses that contradict the teaching of the Jehovah witnesses' that Christ is not God. However, from the passages I gave you, it is quite clear that CHRIST IS GOD. 

• Matthew 1:21 Part I

21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

    So in English we render Christ's name as "Jesus" but in Greek its (Ἰησοῦν)(lēsoun). In Hebrew is name is Yehoshua which is commonly shortened to Yeshua, but do you know what Yehoshua means? It means 'GOD IS SALVATION' So Jesus who will save HIS people is called God is Salvation. Interesting choice.

• Psalms 130:7-8 Part II

    7 Let Israel keep waiting for Jehovah, For Jehovah is loyal in his love, And he has great power to redeem. 8 He will redeem Israel from all their errors.

• Matthew 19:25-26 Part III

    25 When the disciples heard that, they were greatly astounded, saying: "Who really can be saved?" 26 Looking at them intently, Jesus said to them: "With men this is impossible, but with God all tings are possible."

• Psalm 130:3-4 Part IV

    3 If errors were what you watch, O Jah, Then who, O Jehovah, could stand? 4 For with you there is true forgiveness, So that you may be held in awe. 

So these verses show that according to the Bible, that God alone can save men from sin, no man can save himself. 

• Matthew 1:23 Part V

    23 "Look! The virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel," which means, when translated, "With Us Is God." 

    So again, Jesus who supposedly is not God, is going to be called WITH US IS GOD. Now they changed the word 'the' to 'is' but it doesn't help their lies.

• Titus 2:10 Part I

    10 not stealing from them, but showing complete trustworthiness, so that in every way they may adorn the teaching of our Savior, God. 

• Titus 2:13 Part II

    13 while we wait for the happy hope and glorious manifestation of the great God and of our Savior, Jesus Christ,

    Tell me again, who is "our Savior"? Is it God or Jesus Christ because verse 10 says it's God then verse 13 says it is Christ. And as you know me, I love looking into Greek to uncover lies in their translation.

Example 1 The Kingdom Interlinear of the Greek Scriptures jw.org

    If you look to the Greek word that is translated to 'of Savior', I have not seen a way that it translated to 'of Savior' meaning the Greek actually reads: 'of the great God and Savior of us of Christ Jesus,' meaning that Christ is God and Savior. 

• Job 37:5 Part I

    5 God thunders with his voice in a wonderful way; He does great things that are beyond our understanding.

• Ephesians 3:19 Part II

    19 and to know the love of the Christ, which surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness that God gives. 

    In Job we are told that God does great things that go beyond our understanding, or can comprehend. Then in Ephesians, Paul said that Christ has a love that surpasses our knowledge. How so? How does someone who supposedly is not God have love that is so great that it goes beyond our understanding?

• Philippians 1:19 Part I

    19 for I know that this will result in my salvation through your supplication and with the support of the spirit of Jesus Christ. "+"

    What spirit belongs to Christ? The Trinitarians know, but to a Jehovah witness, what spirit belongs to Christ? Well, The Jehovah witnesses helped answer this question for themselves in advance. Here is the passage they cite "+",

• John 15:26 Part II

    26 When the helper comes that I will send you from the Father, the spirit of the truth, which comes from the Father, that one will bear witness about me;

    Paul is telling us that the Spirit of Truth that comes from the Father, the HOLY SPIRIT, belongs to Christ. So as it belongs to the Father, it belongs to the Son. What the Holy Spirit does for the Father, it does for the Son. 

• Colossians 1:15 

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

    So when someone looks at Christ they are seeing the image of God? The INVISIBLE GOD? How does a flesh and blood body embody the likeness of the true God? Christ had to be God to be the image of God. Let's say there is you and me. And I say that you are the image of me, and I give someone an picture of you to them, will they not look at me and question why I am not in the picture. So in the same way, to be the image of God, doesn't the image have to have God within it? How does a supposedly total flesh and blood, normal man, represent the image of God? That man would have to be God within a flesh and blood body to give Himself a form for mankind and take on that form for it to be the image of Himself. 

• Philippians 2:7 Part I

    7 No, but he emptied himself and took a slave's form and became human.

• Mark 5:6-13 Part II

    6 But on catching on sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down to him. 7 Then he cried out with a loud voice: "What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I put you under oath by God not to torment me." 8 For Jesus had been saying to it: "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit." 9 But Jesus asked him: "What is your name?" and he replied: 'My name is Legion, because there are many of us." 10 And he kept pleading with Jesus not to send the spirits out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of swine was feeding there at the mountain. 12 So the spirits pleaded with him: "Send us into the swine, so that we may enter into them." 13 And he gave them permission. With that the unclean spirits came out and went into the swine, and the herd rushed over the precipice into the sea, about 2,000 of them, and were drowned in the sea. 

    Philippians tells us that Christ had some sort of form that was above what is human, and yet humbled Himself and became human as well. Then back in Mark we are told that the demons inside this man saw Christ from a distance and ran to bow down to Him. So demons, who are a spirit and have their own form, saw Jesus' physical body yet they could see that He was not merely human. They knew who He was from when He was not human. Now this translation doesn't translate that well what the demon said in the first of this sentence, but in the NIV, it translates, 'what do you want with me'. So they knew that Christ was of importance and were scared that He came to them. Then what do the demons call Christ? SON OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, they do not call him the Son of Man but the Son of God. They then invoked the Father asking that Christ would not torture them. So clearly the demons know that Christ is some being that is beyond human and has the power to torture demons. Meaning He is above demons and demons fear Him. They then began begging Christ not to send them into the abyss. These demons know that Christ has authority over who goes into the abyss if He wills. They began to plead with Christ to send them into a herd of pigs. Christ allowed it, then the pigs ran off a cliff and drowned in the water below. 

• Matthew 21:9-11 Part I KJV

    9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying. Who is this? 11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

• Psalm 118:25-26 Part II KJV

    25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. 26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

• Matthew 21:14-16 Part III KJV

    14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, 16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou has perfected praise.

• Psalm 8:1-2 Part IV KJV

    1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is they name in all the earth! who hast set they glory above the heavens. 2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 

    In verses 9-11 of Matthew that multitudes of people were following Christ saying HOSANNA came to mean with this event, 'Salvation has come!' but Hosanna is derived from the Hebrew, 'hoshiya na' which sounds like it obviously. And what does 'hoshiya na' mean? It means: "Save, please!" Which is said to God in Psalm 118:25. Then little children came saying Hosanna to Christ and the Chief Priests and scribes heard them and that is why they ask Christ why He is allowing them to say such things. Because these things are to be said to God, and they are saying these things to someone who appears to be man. Then Christ asks them if they have never read Psalm 8:1-2 and there it talks about praises of babes and sucklings being said to the Lord, which is God in context. So Christ is asking the Priests why they are surprised that babes and sucklings are singing praises to their God. 

• Genesis 41:28 Part I

    38 So Pharaoh said to his servants: "Can another man be found like this one in whom there is the spirit of God?"

• Exodus 31:3 Part II

    3 I will fill him with the spirit of God, giving him wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of every kind of craftsmanship,

• 2 Samuel 23:2-3 Part III

    2 The spirit of Jehovah spoke through me; His word was on my tongue. 3 The God of Israel spoke; To me the Rock of Israel said: 'When the one ruling over mankind is righteous, Ruling in the fear of God,

• Nehemiah 9:20 Part IV

    20 And you gave your good spirit to give them insight, and you did not hold back your manna from their mouth, and you gave them water when they were thirsty.

• Nehemiah 9:30 Part V

    30 You extended patience to them for many years and kept warning them by your spirit through your prophets, but they refused to listen. Finally you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

• Isaiah 61:1 Part VI

    1 The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me, Because Jehovah anointed me to declare good news to the meek. He sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And the wide opening of the eyes to the prisoners,

• Zechariah 7:12 Part VII

    12 They made their heart like a diamond and would not obey the law and the words that Jehovah of armies sent by his spirit through the former prophets. So there came great indignation from Jehovah of armies."

• 1 Peter 1:10-12 VIII 

    10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the underserved kindness meant for you made a diligent inquiry and a careful search. 11 They kept on investigation what particular time or what season the spirit within them was indicating concerning Christ as it testified beforehand about the sufferings meant for Christ and about the glory that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were ministering, not to themselves, but to you, regarding what has now been announced to you by those who declared the good news to you with holy spirit sent from heaven. Into these very things, angels are desiring to peer. 

    If you are new to my articles, you are probably reading 1 Peter and not seeing the contradiction. And that is because it was purposefully left out from the Greek. They translated it correctly in their Interlinear but perverted it when translating to English:

Example 1. The Kingdom Interlinear of the Greek Scriptures jw.org

    Wait, so your telling me that Christ has a Spirit, and It was the One that talked to and thru the prophets in the Old Testament. The same Spirit that was called JEHOVAH'S SPIRIT? You now see why the society left it out, because that would go against their teachings and beliefs (despite everything I've shown to you already which is quite a lot) So they left it out because this same Holy Spirit was called Jehovah's Spirit. 

    Earlier I used the verse Philippians 2:7 and I am now going to touch back on it, using the 1984 Edition of the New World Translation, NWT.

• Philippians 2:5-8 1984 NWT

    5 Keep this mental attitude in YOU that was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although he was was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. 7 No, but he emptied himself and took a slave's form and came to be in the likeness of men. 8 more than that, when he found himself in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient as far as death, yes, death on a torture stake. 

Example 2. The Kingdom Interlinear of the Greek Scriptures jw.org

    So Christ was existing in His pre-incarnation, in the same form that God the Father has. Meaning that what God the Father is, Christ is also in form and characteristic. See this link that explains the Greek word, (morfí) which was translated to 'form': https://www.wordreference.com/gren/μορφῇ

    So Christ is of the same being that the Father is, but when He decided to come down as the Messiah, He decided that He should be at a position of authority lower then God the Father by taking on a human body and soul as well as having His own being, while on earth. He made His body like that of every other human, having the same limitations humans do and not letting His divine being and power make Him appear beyond human unless He did something miraculous to show His authority but His body was like every other.  As you can see I underlined the term 'torture stake' which is an unfortunate and disgusting teaching of these spiritual perverts that I will go over in a later article.

and keep you;

the LORD make His face shine upon you

and be gracious to you;

the LORD turn His face toward you 

and give you peace." ☦
