JESUS IS GOD

 We can begin to better see Jesus as God in our Bibles when we use A GOOD RULE FOR READING -

Seeing God in a word

YAHWEH – is Gods name but a second name of Yahweh is ELOHIM.

Yahweh – Has to do with His attributes… grace, mercy,love and justice.

Elohim…creative works and things He does.

Adona – His ruler ship

So the thee basic names of the Father are: Yahweh, Elohim, and Adona.

Sometimes when your reading your bible if you’ll notice carefully the words

 LORD  and  GOD all caps and other times the first Letter is capitalized …the letters following lower case as in Lord or God….

This is a rule to help us understand our Bibles.

When there are all caps

LORD/ GOD = YAHEW

First letter cap only….

God= ELOHIM – the creator

Lord= Adonai the ruler who controls our lives.

god – all small letters = pagan deities

Christ and Messiah are the same.

Moshiach  is Hebrew for Messiah.

Christos  - Greek for Messiah.

Christ – English Messiah.

Genesis 1In the beginning *God created the heaven and the earth. 2 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.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (NASB) Genesis 1:1
 It is I who made the earth, and created man upon it. I stretched out the heavens with My hands, And I ordained all their host. (NASB) Isa 45:12

*FROM THE BEGINNING WHO CREATED THE HEAVEN AND EARTH.

"He is the image of the unseen God and the first-born of all creation, for in him were created ....all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything invisible, Thrones, Dominations, Sovereignties and Powers

For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created by Him and for Him. (NASB) Colossians 1:16

 -- All things were created through him and for him. Before anything was created, he existed, and he holds all things in unity. Now the Church is his body, he is its head." (Col.1:15-18).

. . Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him. (NASB) 1 Corinthians 8:6
 All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. (NASB) John 1:3

"In the beginning was the Word: the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things came to be, not one thing had its being but through him. All that came to be had life in him and that life was the light of men, a light that shines in the dark, a light that darkness could not overpower." (John1:1-5)

CREATION OF THE WORLD:

Psalm 102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

John 1:33 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Genesis 1:22 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.

CREATION OF MAN:

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Colossians 1:16 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:

Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

But of the Son He says, "THY THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER . . . And, "THOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING DIDST LAY THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF THY HANDS . . . (NASB) Hebrews 1:1-2, 8-10  GOD  refers to His Son as GOD.

CONFUSION IN READING IS WHEN THE SON IS REFERRED TO AS THE FATHER......( TRINITY)...... THE NO SEPARATION OF.

John 18:5-8 Again Jesus calls Himself the I AM

He will invoke me, "My father, my God and rock of my safety", and I shall make him my first-born, the Most High for kings on earth." (Ps.89:27).

Who destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah?

Genesis 18:1-3, 17 The LORD (YHWH) appeared to Abraham

The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. He said, "If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. 

Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?

Genesis 19:24 God on earth rained down fire from God in heaven

Then the LORD (on Earth) rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah--from the LORD out of the heavens.

Which God was on earth? Which was in Heaven?

   John 10:30-33    I and the Father are one." Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?" "We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."

 Philippians 2:11

… and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Adoni), to the glory of God (Adoni) the Father. 

"The Word was made flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that is his as the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14).
