Jesus Christ Is God — Just Like His Father

Is not the offspring of man, a man?

Likewise, The ONLY Begotten Offspring of God — The Son of God, is GOD!

Yet deceivers like jehovah’s witness people, sent forth by and preaching for their father the devil, say Jesus is not God!

Years ago, The LORD had given me a prestigious and lucrative contract with a client, a global organisation headquartered in London.

When going for an initial meeting at their offices in London’s financial district (called The City), I met a calm, meek young man (probably mid to late thirties, I think) in the reception. He was next after me when I was being attended to by the receptionist.

Because of his calm demeanour, I thought he must be a believer.

My host executive soon came for me, and we rode the lift to a meeting room on an upper floor.

Very surprisingly, after my meeting (which lasted for a considerable time), I came out of the building and saw the young man also leaving (having finished with his own appointment). He was walking a short distance just ahead.

Oh, certainly, this is an opportunity for me to ask him if he was a believer.

The born-again Christian is a rare species in the United Kingdom. And so, when you meet a stranger who is a Christian, it is like a glass of cold water to you in a hot, arid desert. Very refreshing.

( On a typical Sunday morning, people you normally would see going to church in London are African and Caribbean immigrants, their UK-born descendants and other non-natives.

Of course, there are some British natives who are serious Christians. I personally have great brotherly fellowship and friendship with a number of British brothers and sisters.

However, doctrines of demons falsely called science (like evolution), atheism, new age, sexual perversions, going to top-flight football (soccer) matches, and binge-drinking alcohol — especially at the weekend (hospital A&Es are often overwhelmed with drink-related cases, including injuries from accidents and acts of violence) are some of the gods many people now serve in Britain.

But the land of John Knox, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, Smith Wigglesworth and other Jesus-lovers of yesteryear, will certainly be raised back to Christ soon, as we intercede for souls and the land. )

Back to the man, as I hastened to accost him, he got to a nearby bus stop. A double-decker bus pulled up that very instant, and he boarded it.

I hurried and hopped on the bus; just to ask him if he was a Christian!

The bus was going in the opposite direction of my train station. But I didn’t mind.

All things work together for good. You’ll soon see why.

I sat next to the man. My question followed in short order.

But the answer was more deflating than getting a flat tyre while in a hurry.

In fact, it wasn’t just deflating; it was revolting!

Jake (me): Are you a Christian?

The stranger: I am a jehovah’s witness, he answered.

A jehovah’s witness! Oh no!

He was still inherently showing that meek demeanour. (Fake designer bags look authentic until you examine them closely.)

Long story short, I told him that Jesus is God but they say He is not.

He challenged me to prove It in Scripture.

I flashed out Philippians 2:5, quoting It with persuasive fervour:

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, being in The Form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God“.

He readily rebuffed my submission, forcefully arguing that, that Scripture says “…being in The Form of God…”; It doesn’t say Jesus is God.

Stubborn hair splitting, one might say. Even a non-existent distinction.

But it goaded me.

I immediately purposed to search The Scriptures and arm myself with verses that incontrovertibly state that The Son of God is God.

Upon arriving home, I told my wife the occurrence as shared above; she gave me a supportive Spirit-filled response, and I set about searching The Scriptures as though I was studying for an examination the next day.

After all these years since that day, I still come across Scripture verses to this day, that explicitly state that The Son of God is God, as proven below.

So, armed with The Scriptures explicitly saying Jesus is God, I was ready for any opportunity to share same anywhere.

One such opportunity came years later while in the mission field in Ghana.

I met a teacher (in a technical/ vocational school), who also had a meek demeanour. And he too? A jehovah’s witness!

When sharing The Truth with him, he too quickly got argumentative — a major and the main hallmark of jehovah’s witness unbelievers. They can be unbearably argumentative about The Truth.

When the subject of Jesus being God came up, I asked him to open his “bible” to one of the above Scriptures which clearly says Jesus Christ is God.

From his so-called “bible”, when he read The Scriptures in my arsenal to my hearing, statements noting that Jesus is God had been removed and replaced with complete lies!

What?!

Perplexed, I asked him with curious scrutiny: What version of The Bible is that?

( I didn’t know that the jehovah’s witness cult has a “bible” of their own, in which they have changed MAJOR aspects of The Truth to deceive and destroy. )

I was shocked with utter outrage. These deceivers have changed much of The Bible to say complete lies!

The so-called jehovah’s witness?

They are just like their self-deluded father!

“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in The Truth, because there is no Truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” John 8:44.

If you receive and read jehovah’s witness publications like watch tower, or even their demonic bible, you get into agreement with the devil!

Would you drink a glass of water contaminated with poison?

Receiving jehovah’s witness people, or accepting/ reading their publications of lies can deceive and destroy you, forever.

They deny that Jesus Christ is The Son of God. And they deny Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. They are deceivers and anti-Christs. Don’t receive them.

“For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti-Christ. Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in The Doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in The Doctrine of Christ has both The Father and The Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.” 2 John 1:7-11.

Destroy all materials by jehovah’s witness, mormons, and such other satanic organisations. They are deceiving and being deceived.

“But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:13.

Now then. Here are some Scriptures explicitly saying that Jesus Christ is The Son of God (all quotations are from NKJV):

• “our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13).

• “our God and Savior Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:1.

• “God was manifested in the flesh” 1 Timothy 3:16; John 1:1, 14).

• “Christ came, Who is over all, The Eternally Blessed God.” Romans 9:5.

• For unto us A Child is born, Unto us a Son is given… And His Name will be called…Mighty God…” Isaiah 9:6.

• “But to The Son He says: “Your Throne, O God, is forever and ever” Hebrews 1:8.

• Who is The Saviour?

Jesus Christ.

Now look at what The Scripture says:

“For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in The Living God, Who is The Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.” 1 Timothy 4:10.

Jesus is The Living God, just like The Father.

• Whose is The Church?

Jesus Christ.

And Who shed His Blood to purchase us?

Jesus Christ.

Now look at what The Scripture says:

“Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which The Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd The Church of God which He purchased with His own Blood.”

• The Gospel is about Jesus, hence It is called “The Gospel of Christ” (Romans 1:16). The Gospel of Christ is also called “The Gospel of God” (Romans 1:1; 1 Thessalonians 2:2; 1 Peter 4:17), thus, Christ, Whose is The Gospel, is God.

So there you have It. How then can anyone say that The Son of God is not God?

May Jesus Christ our Great God deliver them from their deception to believe and know The Truth, and be saved. Amen.

Jacob, an apostle of JESUS CHRIST by The Will of GOD, according to The Promise of Life Which is in CHRIST JESUS, (2 Timothy 1:1).
Like John, I like to put my head to The Heart of JESUS so as to know and do His Will always. What’s in His Heart is what matters now and FOREVER. His Heart’s Desire is my only desire. My will is to do His Will.
As John was, I am the disciple whom JESUS loves. And like Paul, I am “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS” (Ephesians 3:1) for His Purpose forever: to obey Him always.
NB. Surely, the disciple whom JESUS loves and “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS”, like ALL The Promises of GOD, are available to every believer to obtain, just as John and Paul did.
“And having been perfected, He [JESUS] became The Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey Him,” Hebrews 5:9.
