Who do I say Jesus is? Instead of spouting off endless amounts of scripture, I'd rather just boil it down to a few words and be done with it. Jesus Christ to me is akin to what our immune system is to my physical body. He is the immune system, the cure against what I call STD's, short for spiritually transmitted diseases, what the Bible calls 'sin'. It has brung decay and death into the world, and God, the doctor has prescribed the everlasting medicine for it through his son, simple enough explanation for me.

GISMYS_7:
I have seen this type of OP many times. It can become explosive and very contentious. Are you on a search and destroy mission to weed out and expose the heretics that do not concur with this or your belief model you are presenting? (rhetorical)

GISMYS_7:
Do you want folks to perform a commentary on the verses you posed? I can do some Bible study and commentary on each verse if you wish,
or do you consider folks to know the meaning of each verse already? I was thinking that folks would need to know how these verses through interpretation, supports your topic, Who is Jesus.

@GISMYS_7, Good post. good scripture. Yes Jesus is the ONE, and the only "ONE.

May I add one. 1 Timothy 6:16 "Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen".

that scripture is LOADED.

Are you suggesting that because only God is immortal, that no-one else is?????

The term 'immortal' is used quite loosely throughout scripture. The only times immortality is used to describe anything else other than God are the glorified bodies we get and the angels. The bodies we are given are plainly stated by Paul to be 'immortal', the nature of which Jesus himself compared to that of angels. So when Paul says in that verse that only God has immortality, he obviously isn't referring to the same type of immortality his creation has and will have. For the creation, it just means that death is a foreign concept, but for God it means much more than just living forever. I don't recall the lifespan of an angel ever being given a limit. We don't even know how long they have been around, only that they are older than the six day creation.

Paul:
(1 Corinthians 15:51-54) "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, {52} In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. {53} For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. {54} So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."

Jesus:
(Luke 20:27-36) "¶ Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, {28} Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. {29} There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. {30} And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. {31} And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. {32} Last of all the woman died also. {33} Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. {34} And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: {35} But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: {36} Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection."

never, but consider this. He is the "ONLY" source of immorality ...... without him, no angel, or human now or in the world to come can be immortal without him. remember we, us, and they, the angel are his "creation". see, we're human creatures, not human "beings". there is only one BEING. being means, One that exists independently. ok, physically, don't eat, or breaths. now spiritually, disobey, and reject the Lord Jesus. two supportive scriptures, #1. Acts 17:28 "For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring". well that takes care of the physical aspect of being a "BEING", with spiritual implication. now the soul. #2. Matthew 10:28 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell".

PS, when one used the General Term "God" in this instance with 1 Timothy 6:16, I cannot accept that term. the scripture in question clearly identify the Lord Jesus as the only one with IMMORALITY, who is God. read the context from verse 13, where "God" is identified as the Lord Jesus the Christ.

The way I understand this is that God is the only one who is naturally or inherently immortal. I agree with you that anyone's immortality is dependant completely upon immortality as a gift from God. This leads of course to some unpopular subsequent beliefs. Such as the concept that if one is separated from the only source of life he must of necessity cease to exist.

When you say God that's a General term. some believe that there are three "persons" which encompass this term. when I say God, I'm saying JESUS ONLY, is this your assessment of the term God?.

Jesus is God in the flesh. He is my Savior! Only God Himself could remove me from sin. His righteousness is imputed to me by faith. To be perfect I must be made one with Him in spirit. His imputed righteousness is to my spirit, not my flesh.

1 John 4:2
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

1 John 5:20
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

1 Corinthians 15:50

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

1 Corinthians 6:17
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

2 Corinthians 5:21
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

No. When I speak of God specifically I am referring to the Father. (John 17:3; 1 Cor. 8:6) However, in general terms, the term God for me means both Father and Son as they agree in all things, and Jesus by inheritance is as much God as His Father. He is His Father's Son...like Father like Son. But God the Father is the source of all things, which He has chosen to give us through His Son, Jesus.
