There's No Incertitude Nearly Christ's Deity

Recently I got an electronic mail from a “christian cult” member. He called me a liar because I said Jesus is God. I operate the term “christian cult” to designate groups that operate the Bible every bit business office of their fake doctrine.(1)  

It’s interesting how Satan has incorporated this heresy into a set out of “christian cults.” 

Beginning amongst his foremost prevarication inwards the Garden (Genesis 3:4-5), Satan has been deceiving people almost God’s truthful character. And christian cults are 1 of his devious methods.

There was alone 1 way that the righteous requirements of the constabulary could hold upwards fulfilled, the alone way nosotros could hold upwards saved: God Himself had to choose the shape of a human too overstep for our sins (Romans 5:6-8; Romans 8:1-4; Philippians 2:5-8). If Jesus were exactly a human too non God, nosotros would non hold upwards saved.

But Jesus is God!

There are many Scriptures proving Christ's deity, both guide too indirectly. I've listed some below.

You powerfulness desire to pin, bookmark, or impress this devotion too hence you lot have got this listing inwards your "toolbox" when explaining or defending your faith.


Jesus is clearly referred to every bit God inwards these Scriptures: 

John 1:1 too 1:14: “In the outset was the Word, too the Word was amongst God, too the Word was God....The Word became flesh too made his dwelling identify amid us. We have got seen his glory, the glory of the 1 too alone Son, who came from the Father, amount of grace too truth.” 

John 1:18: "No 1 has always seen God, but the 1 too alone Son, who is himself God too is inwards closest human relationship amongst the Father, has made him known."

Titus 2:13: "while nosotros await for the blessed hope--the appearing of the glory of our dandy God too Savior, Jesus Christ…,"

2 Peter 1:1: "Simon Peter, a retainer too apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God too Savior Jesus Christ have got received a organized faith every bit precious every bit ours...."

Isaiah 7:14: “Therefore the Lord himself volition give you lot a sign: The virgin volition conceive too give nativity to a son, too volition telephone outcry upwards him Immanuel.” [“Immanuel” agency “God amongst us.”]

Jesus existed earlier His fourth dimension on earth:

John 8:58: "'Very genuinely I tell you,' Jesus answered, 'before Abraham was born, I am!'"

Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday too today too forever."

1 Corinthians 10:2-4: "They were all baptized into Moses inwards the cloud too inwards the sea. They all ate the same spiritual nutrient too drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual stone that accompanied them, too that stone was Christ."

Philippians 2:5-8: "In your relationships amongst 1 another, have got the same mindset every bit Christ Jesus: Who, existence inwards real nature God, did non consider equality amongst God something to hold upwards used to his ain advantage;  rather, he made himself goose egg past times taking the real nature of a servant, existence made inwards human likeness. And existence constitute inwards appearance every bit a man, he humbled himself past times becoming obedient to death—even decease on a cross!"

 Scripture forbids worshiping anyone or anything every bit good God:

Revelation 19:9-10: "Then the angel said to me, 'Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb!' And he added, 'These are the truthful words of God.' At this I cruel at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, 'Don't create that! I am a immature human retainer amongst you lot too amongst your brothers too sisters who concur to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.'"

But Jesus is worshiped throughout Scripture:
He is worshiped every bit a baby: 
Matthew 2:11
Jesus allows people to worship Him:
Matthew 14:33;  Matthew 28:9;  Matthew 28:17;  Luke 24:52;  John 9:38

Jesus, every bit business office of the Trinity, is the Creator:

Hebrews 1: "In the past times God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times too inwards diverse ways, 2 but inwards these final days he has spoken to us past times his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, too through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory too the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things past times his powerful word…. 6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, 'Let all God’s angels worship him.' …8 almost the Son he says, 'Your throne, O God, volition final for always too ever; a scepter of judge volition hold upwards the scepter of your kingdom….' 10 He also says, 'In the beginning, Lord, you lot set the foundations of the earth, too the heavens are the piece of job of your hands.'"

Colossians 1:15-17: "Christ is the visible picture of the invisible God. He existed earlier anything was created too is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything inwards the heavenly realms too on earth. He made the things nosotros tin come across too the things nosotros can’t see—such every bit thrones, kingdoms, rulers, too government inwards the unseen world. Everything was created through him too for him. He existed earlier anything else, too he holds all creation together."

(1) Christian cults are non Christian but claim to be. Satan uses half-truths to trap people inwards this type of cult. They choose some of what Scripture teaches too operate words that audio similar, but the underlying pregnant is different. Two prominent cults which deny Christ’s deity (as defined inwards Scripture) are Mormons too Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses clearly tell that Jesus is non God. Mormons (LDS) have got an evolving too confusing sentiment of Jesus that is difficult to pivot down. This article should evidence helpful: "Is the Mormon Jesus the Brother of Satan?" 

In the Jehovah's Witnesses' New World "translation" they operate lilliputian "g" for god inwards passages where Jesus is referred to every bit God, or they add together conjunctions non constitute inwards the Greek too hence that it reads "God too the Savior." There is no set down for these changes. They have got exactly manipulated the text to check their beliefs. However, many of the passages higher upwards read the same inwards the New World translation, too hence their translation has non completely removed proofs that Jesus is God. Mormons operate the King James Version of the Bible, but they claim it has been corrupted, too they claim it is alone a partial revelation too needs to hold upwards supplemented past times their other "holy books." See The Mormon "Word of God"  too "When Angels Tell Lies".
