Does the Bible say Jesus was GOD with us?

Question

Matthew 1:23, 1 Timothy 3:16

There are some who don't believe Jesus is God? Some say He was a Prophet much less than God don't you agree?

Answer 1

Mat 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.


Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.


Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

So the answer is an unequivocal yes.

Answer 2

The question over whether Jesus was God has been debated in Christian circles since the first few centuries AD, at least. This debate still goes on today.

In Isaiah 7, the prophet Isaiah prophesies that "a young woman ("almah" in Hebrew, which doesn't mean "virgin"!) shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel". The name Immanuel means something like "God with us", just as Michael means something like "One who is like God" and Gabriel means something like "God is my strength".

Many Old Testament names had meanings like this. Does this verse, written hundreds of years BC, refer to the future birth of Jesus?

In Isaiah 8, God is speaking to Isaiah and appears to call HIM "Immanuel"! Does the Isaiah 7 verse refer to Isaiah as well? These are the only two uses of the word "Immanuel" that I know of in the Old Testament.

Later, the author of Matthew uses the Isaiah 7 scripture to refer to Jesus, and adds a virgin birth story to Mark's gospel (which the author of Matthew used as a reference, and to which he added a lot). The author of 1 Timothy believed that Jesus was God in the flesh, unlike others who believed that he was a man or a man-God.

I don't think Jesus himself never claimed to be God, except in John when he says, "Before Abraham and Isaac were, I am." Did the real Jesus say those words? Maybe we'll never know. But he generally referred to himself as the son of man.

I think if Jesus had been God in the flesh he would have made that fact clear himself.

Answer 3

Yes,but isn't God with us all? But that doesn't mean that God came down to earth as a man. God was Jesus' Father so therefore he was a part of Jesus. Just like I am a part of my Parents. God has a personal name and his name is Jehovah. He had a son named Jesus.

Answer 4

Yes.
Jesus was 100% man and 100% God.
God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are actually one thing, and three things at the same time.
But typically God is the God in heaven, Jesus is the God on earth, and the Holy Spirit is the God inside of all of us.

Answer 5

Yes, Jesus' s birth was proclaimed hundreds of years in the future.

Matthew 1:23
23"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"[a]—which means, "God with us."

1Timothy 3:14-16
14 Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, 15if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. 16Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great:
He[c] appeared in a body,[d]
was vindicated by the Spirit,
was seen by angels,
was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world,
was taken up in glory.

John 1:1-2
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.

John 1:10-14
10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent,[c] nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[d] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Answer 6

If Jesus is God, why didn't he know until grown up? Is there any evidence in Bible shows that Jesus knows he is a God since young?

Answer 7

The entire bible harmonizes and does not contradict itself as many people think. If Jesus is God than whom was he praying to when he said prayers? Jesus on many occasions acknowledged that he was God's son, not God himself, and that what he taught was not his own teachings but they were from the One who sent him. Why would he make those statements if he was God?

Answer 8

Yes...Jesus was the flesh form of God as we are the flesh forms of our own angelic selves. God made a rule that all would be flesh and He did not exempt Himself from His own law. It was set forth in order to separate the good from the evil after the downfall of satan. Those that refused--some of satans chiefs did--were sentenced to death at that time.

Answer 9

yes, since god is everywhere at once, he can be god the father in heaven, jesus the son, and the holy spirit all at the same time
