Who is Jesus [251:02]
by Anthony Buzzard rated at 2.7 (10 votes so far)
Many churchgoers have been schooled to flee from anyone claiming that "Jesus is not God." But very few have contemplated the implications of what it means that both the Father can be God and Jesus God, also. Two who are fully God makes two Gods. The Bible warns against the fatal mistake of saying that there is more than one who is God. Jesus claimed that "the Father is the only who is truly God' (John 17:3), and made this the main plank of his teaching about eternal life. Are you sure you have understood Jesus and his creed? It never hurts to review these basic truths. Nothing is lost by hearing other points of view. Anthony proposes with many scholars, past and present, that the notion that "Jesus is God" goes beyond the Bible. Rather Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God (Matt. 16:16-18). You will find these discussion valuable as a searcher for truth in a confused world.

Jesus and God Share Many Titles
by Jay Dicken [2 pages]
rated at 1 (out of 5 votes)
Jesus shares titles with God. Among these are “King of kings, and Lord of lords,” and “Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last.” The Bible calls Jesus our Savior and says that besides God there is no Savior. (Acts 5:31; Isaiah 43:11) Also, there are passages of Scripture which are applied to God in the Hebrew Scriptures, yet applied to Jesus in the New Testament.
