Jesus is God and Why !

[Brightfame52]

Matt 19:16-26

16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.


This passage actually is teaching the Truth that Jesus is God ! Notice vs 17 As the young man had addressed Jesus as good, and Jesus responded accordingly, why callest thou me good, for none is good but ONE, that One Being God

Now , notice Jesus did not say, none is good but One and that is my Father, but He said that One, Being God !

Now if Jesus by this is not insinuating that He is God, then the alternative is that He was not good, seeing He just said only ONE, not Two, but ONLY ONE is good.

Now, if Jesus was not good, being that He was not the Only One Good God, then His commanding him, the young ruler, in order to be perfect, that he must go sell all his possessions, then give to the poor, and follow Him; Such an commandment exposed that the young man loved his possessions above God, which was a violation of the very first commandment, now if Jesus was not God, then the young mans refusal to obey and follow Jesus, could not be a proper standard to gauge his Love to God !

For there could not have been nothing amiss about not making such a great sacrifice as that Jesus told him, and then following Him if the One speaking was not the One God, who Only was good !

God doesnt give His Glory to No one Isa 48:11


For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.

You doubt God now ?

Well, you are doubting Jesus.

[Brightfame52]

Jesus is God since its He who holds all things together by the Word of His Power

Heb 1:3

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

This is His Power, not the Fathers, but His Own inherent Power δύναμις

inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth

the word uttered by his power, equivalent to his most powerful will and energy

The same thing is indicated of Him, Jesus in Col 1:17

And he is before all things, and by/in him all things consist


This word consist is perfect tense and it means:

to cohere, hold together:

These attributes can only describe the AlMighty God Jehovah

Jesus is the name of the Word made flesh.

So was the word God ?

[onewithhim]

Jesus is God since its He who holds all things together by the Word of His Power

Heb 1:3

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

This is His Power, not the Fathers, but His Own inherent Power δύναμις

inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth

the word uttered by his power, equivalent to his most powerful will and energy

The same thing is indicated of Him, Jesus in Col 1:17

And he is before all things, and by/in him all things consist


This word consist is perfect tense and it means:

to cohere, hold together:

These attributes can only describe the AlMighty God Jehovah

Jesus is not God... Jehovah GAVE him the power to hold all things together. Jesus gets all of his authority and power FROM Jehovah, God Almighty.

"Even though there are those who are called 'gods,' whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many 'gods' and many 'lords,' there is actually to us one God, the FATHER, out of whom all things are...and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are." (I Corinth. 8:5,6)

So we clearly see that this speaks of TWO Persons, not the same, one being God, the Father, that is the Source of all things, and Jesus is Lord and the conduit through which Jehovah purposed the creation of all things. Two Persons, two levels of power--the Father, and the Son to whom He gave power.

The Power is inherent, not given, I showed you that

[Replying to onewithhim in post #435]

The Power is inherent, not given, I showed you that

No you did not. I haven't seen from you or anyone else that Jesus' power was always his from the start. He said himself that his power was from God, and everything he did he could do because he watched how the Father did it and then he would do it.

Jesus said: "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on the earth." (Matthew 28:18)

Jesus said: "Most truly I say to you, The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he beholds the Father doing. For whatever things that One does, these things the Son also does in like manner." (John 5:19)

[Brightfame52]

[Replying to onewithhim in post #437]

Yes I did

[onewithhim]

[Replying to onewithhim in post #437]

Yes I did

You did not. Jesus always directed everyone's attention to Jehovah, the Father, so that the true God would receive the glory He deserved. The Father gave His Son every bit of power and authority that Jesus had.

Jesus said: "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on the earth." (Matthew 28:18)

Jesus did nothing on his own, but did what the Father taught him to do. "The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he beholds the Father doing. For whatever things that One does, these things the Son also does in like manner." (John 5:19)

[Brightfame52]

Jesus ALONE is the Great Judge - John 5:22. The Judge is God - Hebrews 12:23, Revelation 18:8, Hebrews 13:4, Romans 2:3,5 - Jesus is God. All the verses in the Bible that talk about God being the Judge refer to Jesus, since He alone judges. The Father
judges no man - John 5:22.

Cp Ps 9:7-8

7 But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

Acts 17:31

31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

So Jesus is both God/Man
