Are Jesus and God the same person?
YES. Or as proposed by an earlier comment, is Jehovah of old Jesus of today?
YES. What does the Bible say??
It says exactly that. It's
clear that they are two different individuals.
It's clear you are confused. Jesus of today is still subject to his father, the Almighty, and there is a vast amount of scriptural proof. Read what the Bible says:
Ok, lets read.
Jesus’
opposers accused him of making himself equal to God. (
John 5:18; 10:30-33) However, Jesus
never claimed to be on the same level as Almighty God. He said: “The Father is greater than I am.”—
John 14:28.
The spirit was greater than the flesh, yes. the flesh could die, the spirit could not. The flesh (son) yielded itself to the spirit within (the father).
Jesus’ early followers did not view him as being equal to Almighty God. For example, the apostle Paul wrote that after Jesus was resurrected, God “exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position.” Obviously, Paul did not believe that Jesus was Almighty God. Otherwise, how could God exalt Jesus to a superior position? —
Philippians 2:9.
Again, you misinterpret the scripture. Was Paul contradictory?? He wrote in Colossians 2:9 "for in him (Jesus) dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead Bodily. Paul also wrote I Timothy 3:16 stating "God was manifest in the flesh". And how do you explain Paul's writings in I Corinthians 10:1-4??? It says Moses and Israel drank from that ROCK; and that ROCK was Christ (verse 4). Hmmm... how was the rock Christ when Christ did not exist?? except Jehovah of old is Jesus of today! I could give many more, but on to whatever else you wrote.
"This means everlasting life, their coming to know you,
the only true God, and
the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.” (
John 17:3)
Yes, God sent his son (the flesh) There is no confusing wording here. It's plain English, showing the distinction between Jesus and his Father, the Almighty.
Just explained, Jesus (flesh) was sent by God, but God was in him. That is why Jesus said "if you've seen me, you've seen the Father. I and my Father are one". Who else, would ever say that? We don't refer to us and our Dad's that way....
To much of the same... so I'll end with answering the scripture below..
Only Jehovah is “God Almighty.” (
Genesis 17:1) He is the greatest and most powerful person in the universe.
So you say the Bible says God is the most powerful?? Well, what about this?
Matthew 28:18 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ALL power is given unto me in heaven and in earth". ALL means ALL, and in both Heaven and Earth! So, either Jesus is a liar, or God has no power and was overthrown by his own son, or..... the logical answer.... Jesus and God are not separate, but truly one and the same!!!
