FAQ # 184
QUESTION 184 : Do
the Scriptures bear witness to this perfect "equality of persons"
in the Godhead, or do they prove that those who believe the Son is separate
in person must accept the Son as being inferior (a semi-God, or junior
God) to God the Father?
If the son is a separate person from the father, is he omnipotent (all
powerful)?
Answered Jesus... "I
can of mine own self do nothing..." -John 5:30.
"...My Father is
greater than I" -John 14:28.
If the son is a separate person from the
father, is he omniscient (all knowing)?
"...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 the son is a separate person from the
father, is he omnipresent (present everywhere)?
"...Lazarus is
dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the
intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him" -John 11:14-15.
If the son is a separate person from the
father, is/was he eternal?
"For unto which
of the angels said He at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I
begotten thee"-Hebrews 1:5.
"For God so loved
the world, that He gave His only begotten Son..." -John 3:16.
If the above scriptures show God the Father,
and Jesus, the Son of God, to be separate persons, then Jesus does not
fit the description of God! But Jesus said- "...If ye believe not
that I am He, ye shall die in your sins" -John 8:24. In lip service
they profess to believe in His deity, but in their hearts, He is something
less than God Almighty. On the other hand the Bible does teach that:
JESUS IS OMNIPOTENT-
"...All power
is given unto me in heaven and in earth" -Matthew 28:18.
JESUS IS OMNISCIENT-
"...Lord, thou
knowest all things..."-John 16:30, 21:17.
JESUS IS OMNIPRESENT-
"...Christ...that
descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens,
that He might fill all things" -Ephesians 4:7,10.
"...Christ...filleth
all in all" -Ephesians 1:20.23.
"For where two
or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of
them" -Matthew 18:20.
JESUS IS ETERNAL-
...Verily, I say unto
you, Before Abraham was, I am" -John 8:58.
"Jesus Christ the
same yesterday, and to day, and for ever" -Heb. 13:8.
After reading the previous verses, we
can come to only one conclusion- Jesus, the Son of God, is composed of
two complete, though contrasting, natures: Humanity and Deity (the one
Almighty God). Human flesh covering God, who is spirit (John 4:24), as
Jesus Christ the son.
