“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.
Why is it that when the Bible; and that includes Old Testament Scriptures; is so clear on the deity of Jesus Christ, that there are those who will argue with God Himself? This verse is quite clear on the fact that Jesus is God incarnate.
Many of those who want to dismiss these verses, or twist them to suit their own ends, will admit that Jesus is the “Son of God”. That just does not make sense. Reason will tell you that if you are the ’son of a man’, that, that makes you a man: that is if you are a man. Jesus is also referred to as “Son of Man”, thus making Him man. Being called “Son of God”, being virgin born, conceived in the womb of the virgin Mary, God His Father, in the mind of reason will see that the Son of God is God. Jesus is one hundred percent Man, and one hundred percent God. You cannot get any better than that.
For further study on this read John chapter five, and six. May God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit bless you in your study.
