I and my Father are one. New Testament. John 10:30 There are many more verses in the Bible that refer to Jesus and the Father being one. You need to read and find them. They are all in the New Testament. The net has many sites to help you with this very thing.

Actually Isaiah 9:6, says Jesus is a 'Mighty God'. Since Jesus is NOT the Father, the Almighty, and the Father is his God, then the Son is NOT the Almighty....(OUR Father, who art in Heaven, Matthew 6:9), ( John 20:17..I am ascending to my Father and your Father and my GOD and your God).

Since holy spirit inspired the Bible, why does the Bible call Jesus a God, although he himself does not? In the dictionary the first definition for God, is the Creator...the other definitions include; 'a powerful ruler'. Jesus is definitely a powerful ruler. He has been given 'all authority in HEAVEN and EARTH.' and that is very powerful!!!

Further how did that prove that Jesus is not the Father.?...if Jesus has all authority? Jesus did say that it was GIVEN to him. If Jesus was the Father, or part of a trinity, he would have already had it. Also, 1 Cor. 15:27,28 shows that Jesus , when all things are subjected to him, will subject himself to the One who subjected all things to Jesus. Or as vs. 27 said, when all things have bee subjected to Jesus, it is with the exception of the ONE who subjected all things to him....meaning the Father.

Jesus said at Mark 12:29 ..''Hear O Israel, YHWH.... OUR ...God is ONE YHWH.'

John 10:30

"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God .....and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." - The Gospel of John. " I am the first and the last (Alpha and Omega) - The book of Revelations.

By the way the council of Nicea did not vote on whether or not Jesus was God. They voted as to whether or not He was co-eternal with the Father. The vote was 300 to 2 that He was. Historical records show that Jesus was preceived as being God long before the councile of Nicea was even a speck on the horison.

Jesus never says "I am God". I believe that his remark about being the "way to the Father" meant the he understood and could explain it. "Blind" faith is a danger in my opinion. I have faith through reading and prayer. Those that follow blindly end up following the words of a person ( such as pastors) and not the spirit. You should always question faith. this is how it stays active and healthy.

God is a trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. There are several verses in the Scriptures to support this, here's one:

Colossians 2:9: "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form"

John 1:1-18
look it up for yourself, don't just take my word for it.
"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...."


belief in the triune nature of God is not belief in three gods.
the Bible says we are created in the image of God, in that context the original Hebrew means something like Shadow. just as you can gain a small amount of information from looking at a shadow of a person you can gain a small amount of information by looking at a "shadow" of God. The Bible clearly defines humans as having three seperate natures, the mind, the body and the soul,(I forget the exact verse but it goes something like this, Love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your mind and with all your strength) that clearly delineates the three natures of humans. In a similar way; "God the Father" is the "mind"; Jesus, "The Son" is the "body"; and the "Holy Spirit" is the "soul". since God is much higher than we are it is not odd that his three natures coud be seperable while still being One. just as I can count the number of limbs a person has when I look at a shadow, so you can gather attributes of God when you look at his Works.

Jesus said "I and My Father are One." That is the closest He ever came to using the word God himself.

The Bible is full of other references to Jesus being the Son of God and to Jesus being God.

As for the council of Nicea? Where did that guy get his information? THEY didn't decide that Jesus was God! The Bible says so!

Jesus did not say "I am *A* way to the Father". Jesus said "I am *THE* way, *THE* truth, and *THE* life. No man comes to the Father but by me". He also said "I am the bread of life" and "I am the water of life" and "I am the resurrection and the life. If any body believes in me, though he may die, yet he shall live again".

Jesus said "Have I been so long with you that you still don't understand that when you've seen me, you've seen the Father?"

Jesus prayed, "Father, give back to me the glory I had with you from the beginning", showing that Jesus was always with God, as expressed in John 1:1-17 "In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was WITH God, and the Word WAS God. ... All things that exist were made by Him. ... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory as of the only begotten son of God."

Jesus said: "For God so loved the world, that He sent His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that whosoever believes (ie to trust in, cling to and rely on) Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. When God sent His Son into the world, it was not to condemn the world, but to save it." etc.

One day, Jesus asked his followers, "Who do you think I am?" Peter blurted out, "You are the anointed (ie the Christ) Son of God". Jesus responded by saying "You are right." (in a nutshell).

Furthermore, Jesus did things that only God can do:
1. He forgave sins (that is something only God has the right to do),
2. He controlled nature when he commanded the storm to be still.
3. He commanded demons and they HAD to obey. (In the Old Testament, it is recorded that the angel dared not send riling accusations against satan over the body of Moses, but said "The LORD (YHWH) rebuke you!" And Jesus rebuked satan.
4. He is the only one that EVER (by his own authority and power) healed the sick, made the blind to see, the lame to walk, the dumb to talk and the deaf to hear. He even cleansed lepers and raised the dead! (Note that other prophets did SOME of these things - though never to the same extent - but they always called on God (YHWH) to perform the miracle. They never did it in their own name as Jesus did. And furthermore, nobody ever called on Elijah or Daniel or David to heal somebody, but people are always calling on Jesus to heal. Read the book of Acts for MANY examples of this.)

Did Jesus have to actually say "I am God"? NO! He demonstrated it. Just as YHWH demonstrated to the children of Israel that HE is God when He delivered them from slavery in Egypt with 10 plagues, each one focusing on one of the FALSE gods of Egypt.

Oh, and one last thing - long before Jesus came, over 300+ prophecies depicted only one person, and the only person that fit all those prophecies (time, place, method, life style, etc, etc, etc - his death, etc) was Jesus.

ONE of those passages says: "And his name shall be 'Wonderful Counselor, the MIGHTY GOD, the EVERLASTING FATHER, the Prince of Peace'."

Isaiah 48:16 says, "I (YHWH speaking) have not spoken in secret. From the beginning, there I AM. And now, the Lord (YHWY) and His Spirit has sent me, says the Lord (YHWH)."

Throughout the Bible, when God is mentioned, it ALWAYS - without exception - uses the pleural "Elohym" instead of the singular "Eloheinu", and God said "Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness."

So, this idea of the tri-une nature of God is not a New Testament idea, but has been in the Scriptures from the very beginning (starting with Genesis 1:1).

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:1;14)

The Word being the word of truth. The Torah, absolute truth. It was with God, and "the Word was God". The Word (the Torah) became flesh, it was Jesus. Jesus was the fleshly embodiment of the Torah, the Law, of all the scriptures leading up to Him.
