Throughout Christian history there has been a debate about the Deity of Jesus Christ. In order words, is Jesus Christ the God of heaven and earth? God has told us on many occasions that He would be born as a Man (Isaiah 9:6) and He would save His people from their sins (Isaiah 43:10, 11, 45:21). When God proves that the fullness of His Deity is in Jesus Christ, who is the one Lord God Almighty, we won't believe Him. (Exodus 3:14, John 8:58, II Corinthians 5:19, Colossians 2:8-12, I Timothy 3:16, Revelation 1:8). Jesus Christ is the one Lord God Almighty (Colossians 2:8-12 - Father, Son, and Holy Ghost in one body - Matthew 28:19, Revelation 1:8).
Old Testament: One God created us
Malachi 2:10. Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
My statement: Why would we profane the covenant by saying there is more than One God or that there are three persons in God. God never said He is three persons. God has always told us He doesn’t know of anyone or any person other than Himself.
New Testament: Jesus created us and all things
John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
My statement: Jesus is the Word and the One God who created us.
John 1:10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Ephesians 3:9. And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:15, 16, 19. 15. Who is the image of the invisiible God, the firstborn of every creature.
16. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things wee created by him, and for him.
19: For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
My Statement: Jesus Christ had not been born when the world was created. This lets us know that God’s highest and eternal name always has been Jesus Christ, even though, the name had not been manifested in the flesh at that the time of creation. Look at how all the scriptures blend when one believes that Jesus is the one and only True God.
We know from the Old Testament that the Lord is one God. However, in the New Testament, we have to prove the oneness of God and that Jesus is that one Lord (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11).
Jesus Christ is the same God of the Old Testament and the New Testament (John 8:24, 8:58, I Corinthians 10:4). And the New Testament is Proof that Jesus Christ is the one Lord God Almighty (Revelation 1:8)..
