In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

The Word Was God
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” John 1:1-5 (KJB)
Why is there such a concerted effort by some to disavow the truth of Scripture that Jesus is God incarnate, God in the flesh? It is stated clearly in the first fourteen verses of John chapter one.
Jesus Christ is the word that became flesh, and dwelt among us.
One reason I think that certain organizations of religion try to argue against His deity; or to be more clear on it; co-equal with the Father, is that they have a doctrine of their own to protect. That is why they constantly are changing their own translation of the Bible, and the verses which clearly testify of Christ true identity, and relationship to the Father, to read in a way that makes Jesus deity, but not co-equal with Him.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Son of Man, who is God the Son. Scripture, untwisted by man, constantly unveils the truth that Jesus Christ is indeed Deity alongside, equal with the Father [YHWH].
The First Day
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” Genesis 1:1-5 (KJV)
The First Day of September. I am back from a time away. It is good to be back with those of you who have been touched in some way by these post.
First days are good days. They are filled with excitement, encouragement, and sometimes even fear; for us at least.
Considering the words of God above it was the beginning of all things that you and I know. The world that we see. The world that we know could not be seen and known apart from God creating them; including you and me.
My prayer for you today is to have a day filled with God, His grace, His mercy, His love; and I pray that if you do not know Him that you will call on the name of the One who died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again. His name is Jesus the Christ; the Son of God, God the Son. Our Creator (John 1:1-5).
O that all who know Him would surrender to Him, know His word, His will and walk in His way. Will you today.
Day Three Hundred Forty and Three
What do I want for Christmas?
I want all races of people to be one in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior; there is truly only one race; the human race, and all of our blood flows red.
“Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”” Genesis 1:26-28 (NKJV)
