Is Jesus eternal God ?

Answer 1

Absolutely. John 1:1-20 clearly states that Jesus was present at the creation of the universe, and many other verses too numerous to mention here equally states that Jesus, while on earth, was both fully man and fully God.

This is THE central tenet of Christianity, and if this question can't be answered in the affirmative, without qualification, one can't call oneself a Christian.

Answer 2

Yes, He is a part of Elohim. The Gospel of John tells us, In the Beginning was the word (Jesus) The word was with God and the word was God. Without him nothing was made that was made. All things were made for him and by him.The word became flesh and dwelt among us.

If we consider the nature of God, like that of water , Gas , liquid , Ice and if we dipped a cup in the ocean and splashed it on a table. Which droplet would be water?

The water in the cup still exist and so does the ocean. We'll call the cup the son of the ocean , that our feeble minds begin to understand. This premise brings us closer to understanding omnipresence and omnipotence . There is much scripture in both old and new testament, that tells us. Isaiah tells us a son is given a child is born , He shall be call mighty God ever lasting Father. In revelation Jesus said " I am The alfa and omega" Isaiah reads his name shall be Emanuel ( God with Us ) There is so much more.

Answer 3

No, Jesus was first born of God, then he emptied himself, and was born from woman, then he was resurrected with an immortal spirit body.

Proverbs 8:24b I was brought forth as with labor pains..

Philippians 2:7 No, but he emptied himself and took a slaves form and came to be in the likeness of men.

Ephesians 1:17-20 that the God of our Lord Jesus, the Father of glory...with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he raised him up form the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places..

Isaiah 43:10b Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none. I-I am YHWH/Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.

1Timothy 1:17 Now to the King of Eternity, incorruptible, invisible, the only god, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Praise Jah!! you people!
Hail earth's new King Christ Jesus!!
Welcome his wife; the 'Queen of the Heavens'!!

Answer 4

Yes, God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit make up God. God has always been and created the earth and mankind.

Answer 5

Jesus made the claim that He is God. He applied the name of God, "I AM," to Himself in several passages. Here's a few examples: Matthew 14:27, Mark 6:50, Mark 13:6, Luke 21:8, John 4:26, John 6:20, John 8:24, 28, 58, and John 13:19. (Some English translations have mistranslated these verses for the sake of clarity, by changing the words from "I am" to "It is I," or "I am He.") There are several others I have not listed.

Jesus also received worship:

"Then the men in the boat began to worship Jesus, saying, "You certainly are the Son of God!" (Matthew 14:33)

"Suddenly Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" They went up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him." (Matthew 28:9)

"They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy." (Luke 24:52)

"He said, "Lord, I do believe," and worshiped him." (John 9:38)

"I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea, and everything that is in them, saying, "To the one who sits on the throne and to the lamb be praise, honor, glory, and power forever and ever!" Then the four living creatures said, "Amen!", and the elders bowed down and worshiped." (Revelation 5:13-14)

Answer 6

Come on, be honest here: do you actually think out of all the billions of human beings ever to live on earth, one man was superior to all others? Jesus (assuming he existed) was no greater than you or I. He wasn't "eternal". If he was eternal, he shouldn't have been able to die.

Answer 7

Yes. Amen. Only the power of God could have allowed Him to shoulder the sins of the world past present and to come on the cross. And only the power of God could have defeated Satan in his own lair on Holy Saturday and defeat death and rise triumphant on the third day!

Answer 8

Of course Jesus is God. It is in Revelation - the post glorification book.

Answer 9

In the above historical analysis, we learned that in 325C.E., the Trinitarian church set forth the doctrine of homoousious meaning: of CO-EQUALITY, CO-ETERNITY, AND CONSUBSTANTIALITY of the second person of the trinity with the Father.

The doctrine became known as the Creed of Nicea. But they also went on to develop the doctrine of "blind faith." This is because those who developed the "Trinity" doctrine were unable to define it in any manner that could not be refuted by the unwavering Unitarians Christians through the Bible. In the beginning they tried to defend the "Trinity" through logic and the Bible. This continued for a long time until the Trinitarian church finally gave up on ever substantiating their claims through the Bible. So they demanded blind faith in their doctrines. Anyone who did not believe blindly and dared to question them would be branded a heretic and tortured or killed. The following is only a small sampling of the verses of the Bible which refute this definition:


Co-equality:

Jesus and God can not be co-equal because the Bible says:

"... my Father is greater than I" John 14:28

Obviously if God is greater than Jesus (pbuh) then they can not be equal. We also read:

"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." Mark 13:32

If Jesus and God were equal then it follows that they will be equal in knowledge. But as we can see, God is greater in knowledge than Jesus (pbuh).


Co-eternity:

God is claimed to have "begotten" Jesus (pbuh). Jesus (pbuh) is claimed to be the "Son" of God. "Beget" is a verb which implies an action. No matter how you define what God actually did in order to "beget" Jesus (pbuh), any definition must require that God Almighty performed some action and then Jesus (pbuh) came into being. Before God performed this action Jesus was not. After God performed this action Jesus came into being. Thus, not only is Jesus (pbuh) not eternal, since there was a time (before the "begetting") when he did not exist, but he can also never be co-eternal with God since God was in existence at a time when Jesus was not. This is very simple grade-school logic.




Consubstantiality:

First go back and read the comments on co-equality and co-eternity. Next, remember when Jesus is claimed to have died? (Mark 15:37, John 19:30). If God and Jesus are one substance then God died also. But then who was governing all of creation? Remember:

"And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."Luke 23:46

If Jesus and God were "one substance" then Jesus (pbuh) would not need to send his spirit to God because it is already God's own spirit, who is also Jesus. Remember:

"And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will but as thou wilt" Matthew 26:39

And "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." John 5:30

If Jesus and God were one substance then this ONE substance must only have ONE will.

Futher, remember:

"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"Matthew 27:46

If Jesus and God are one substance then how can ONE substance forsake itself? Why would ONE substance need to pray to itself?

Tom Harpur says: "The idea of the Second Person of a Holy Trinity knowing what it is to be God-forsaken has only to be stated to be recognized as absurd" For Christ's Sake, pp. 45.

Even explaining the supposed "Trinity" away as a "mystery" does not hold water. In 1 Corinthians 14:33 we read "For God is not [the author] of confusion." Thus, confusion can never be His very nature.

Answer 10

I believe that if you believe what the Bible says, you can 't seperate the Father from the Son or the Son from the Father. Jesus said that I and my Father are one. He also said , "If you believe in the Father then believe in me also." For I am in the Father in me.
