    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    John 1:14 The "Word" is the wisdom, plan or purpose of God and the Word became flesh as Jesus Christ. Thus, Jesus Christ was the Word in the flesh, which is shortened to the Word for ease of speaking. Scripture is also the Word in writing. Everyone agrees that the Word in writing had a...

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    I will do this John 10:33 for you. Had the translators rendered the Greek text in verse 33 as they did in verse 34 and 35, then it would read, "...you, a man, claim to be a god." In the next two verses, John 10:34 and 35, the exact same word (theos, without the article) is translated as "god"...

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    I have a verse in Ephesians 3:19 saying ...that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Does that mean I'm God?

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    Do you have a verse that says the Father and Jesus are one in essence and one in deity?

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    It does not say "the Son" It says "Lord" And the last verse you mention says "O my God" Nowhere it the 2 above verses that you quote does it say Jesus or the Son.

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    It tells you right in the same verse that all things are visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    Let's look at John 10:30... There is no reason to take this verse to mean that Christ was saying that he and the Father make up "one God." The phrase was a common one, and even today if someone used it, people would know exactly what they meant... he and his Father are very much alike. When...

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    All the things "created" in the list are not the earth and trees and sky that God created in the beginning, but rather the "thrones, powers, rulers and authorities, which are the positions that Christ needed to run his Church, which he created for that purpose because these are the things Jesus...

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    More data on John 8:58 "I AM" At the last super, the disciples were trying to find out who would deny the Christ. They said literally, "Not I am, Lord" Matthew 26:22, 25. No one would say the disciples were trying to deny they were God because they were using the phrase "Not I am." "I am" was a...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    This is the number one problem (in my view) when debating this subject. Because no matter how much great evidence that I write from the Scriptures that say Jesus is not God. Anyone can just say well, that was Jesus acting in his 100 percent man part and not his 100 percent God part. And I beg...

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    Oh I can answer that. He was speaking to me because I was there at the time. See Scripture where it says God knew me before I was born.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Pretending to put words in my mouth does not make me look foolish. Jesus explicitly said he is God's Anointed, he has a God and his God is the only true God. Why is this not good enough for you? There has to be a reason why so many believe Jesus is God. I can't get anyone to tell me why they...

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    Well, you keep talking about John 1:1 so I wrote it down for you.

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    Many of us went up in smoke. This trinity did not get poplar because it makes sense but because the smart people were all stoned.

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    Jesus Christ is not a lexical definition of logos. The verse does not say "In the beginning was Jesus." The "Word" is not synonymous with Jesus, or even the "Messiah." The word logos in John 1:1 refers to God's creative self-expression... His reason, purpose and plans, especially as they are...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    I am made up of there parts... body, soul, and spirit. So does that mean I'm 3 different people in one.

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    Well written. I could not have written it any better myself. May I add one question? Is the word "deity" in the Bible?
