160 Reasons why Christ is God

Jesus is God not an emanation from God, or an extension of God. Jesus is eternally God.

In the beginning was the Word…
Whenever the beginning was, wherever it was, whatever it might have been, Jesus—the Word—was already there. He had no beginning and He has no end. He is eternally God.

Jesus is equally God.
…and the Word was with God…
Jesus, the Word, was with God—equal to the Father and the Spirit.
“I thought there was only one God,” you say.

There is. “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord,” Deuteronomy 6:4 declares. But the word “one” is echad, which refers to a compound unity, like one people, or one cluster of grapes. Thus, God is a compound unity, a “tri-unity.” One plus one plus one does not equal one. But one times one times one equals one. And that is the mystery of the Trinity.
Jesus is essentially God.

…and the Word was God.
In His very essence, Jesus is God. The gnostics denied this, and their heresy is still alive and well today. Every cult stems from Gnosticism for every cult denies that Jesus Christ is God. The Mormons deny it. They say the Son of God is not equal with God. Rather, they maintain He is merely the offspring of God. The Jehovah’s Witnesses declare Jesus is a God. And the Way International has decided that, although Jesus is the Son of God, He is not equal to God.

What do you say to these present-day gnostics? Turn them to Revelation 21:6: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” Ask a Mormon or a Jehovah’s Witness, “Who is the One who gives of the water of the fountain of life? Who is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end?” He will say, “It’s God.”

Then, have him turn the page to Revelation 22:12–13: “And, behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Ask him, “Who is going to return?” He will say Jesus. But he will now have a problem, because if he says Jesus is not God, he has two Alphas and two Omegas—two firsts and two lasts. Truly, the only logical conclusion is that Jesus is God. The doctrine of the deity of Jesus Christ is essential and nonnegotiable. Yet there are two verses attacked constantly by those seeking to undermine it.…

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:(PRESENT TENSE)


and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.(FUTURE TENSE AFTER HIS RESURRECTION)

Jesus is God, Always has been always will be. Heb 1:1–8.

IN MANY separate revelations [each of which set forth a portion of the Truth] and in different ways God spoke of old to [our] forefathers in and by the prophets,
2 [But] in the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order].

3 He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God’s] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high,

4 [Taking a place and rank by which] He Himself became as much superior to angels as the glorious Name (title) which He has inherited is different from and more excellent than theirs.

5 For to which of the angels did [God] ever say, You are My Son, today I have begotten You [established You in an official Sonship relation, with kingly dignity]? And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He will be to Me a Son? [II Sam. 7:14; Ps. 2:7.]

6 Moreover, when He brings the firstborn Son again into the habitable world, He says, Let all the angels of God worship Him. (Only God receives worship)

7 Referring to the angels He says, [God] Who makes His angels winds and His ministering servants flames of fire; [Ps. 104:4.]

8 But as to the Son, He says to Him, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever (to the ages of the ages), and the scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of absolute righteousness (of justice and straightforwardness).

Heb 1:1–8.

The Son of God is God and God the Son is God, God the Son is the Son of God.
