Jesus <> God

[DeepWater]

2nd Corinthians 4:6 : " For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.""

Let us search the way this amazing verse reveals how Jesus is God.... John 1:10

So beautiful.

---------------------------


"""For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness......""""

This is not only a reference to Genesis....."let there be LIGHT".

But its a reference to and a description of Yeshua, who IS TRUTH, John 14:6....& came to this fallen (Dark) World He created, John 6:51 and shined and still shines, as the "Light of the World".

Its also a statement regarding spiritual darkness, as the state of the fallen, defined as "the World", as they are described as having their "mind's blinded" by the Devil. 2nd Corinthians 4:4.

As.... if you are mentally - spiritually blinded, then you are INSIDE Spiritual Darkness, and it is INSIDE YOU.

The verse continues...

"hath shined in our hearts"....

Here the idea is, that The Truth (as shining) is being revealed to us, concerning Christ, who is the shining Light of the world. He is not "a" truth, but in fact Jesus is "THE" Truth. John 14:6

and continuing the revelation, (the shining)... and now explaining the "why" of the (shining) revelation.. = what is the purpose?

"to give the knowledge".... as this is the reason for all "Light" that is given. Its to reveal and impart... Its a means to open the eyes of your Spiritual UNDERSTANDING.... as something revealed by the shining Light of revelation, is an opening into the understanding of a spiritual knowledge.

This is the purpose of the shining of the light (revelation) into our hearts....

And what is the revelation?

First.... That Jesus has been revealed to us, by our spiritual awakening. (Quickening).

We have been given the revelation that Jesus is the Messiah, The Savior, The Son of God, who is the One sent from and came down from Heaven, John 6:51. and that Jesus alone is Salvation...."THE way". "i am THE resurrection".... "that you may KNOW that you have eternal life", as Jesus IS eternal life.

The reason you have eternal life right now, is because you have Jesus, who IS Eternal Life.

and foremost the revelation is to expose THIS Truth....

= "of the Glory of God......(where ?) .= IN THE FACE of Jesus Christ.""""

And what is the Glory of God?

Its His essence.. Its His Righteousness, ..... Its His nature..... it's His image..... Its HIMSELF, revealed as JESUS the Righteous, whose name...is HOLY., and Holy is the Lamb.

They are the same. They are One. In the beginning the word was God, and God Timothy 3:16. is manifested in the Flesh as "I am". This is why when Thomas, upon first seeing Jesus after He was resurrected said...."my Lord and my GOD", and Jesus didn't correct Him, as why would God correct the Truth regarding Himself ? ???

So, THIS = is why you have this verse in the NT.....> "if you've seen ME (Jesus) you've SEEN the Father,""", as God and Jesus are mirrors of each other.

Jesus is the image of God, the Face of God, the Grace of God, the Truth of God, The Blood of God, the Word of God, the Spirit of God, the Glory of God, the Righteousness of God, the Heart of God, The Love of God, the Forgiveness of God, and the Power of God.

Jesus is God.

I presume <> is supposed to mean "mirrors". Be warned that that can also mean "not equal to" which would be a very different thing than I think you are trying to say.

I agree Jesus is God, but generally the Biblical usage is that "God" (theos) is used strictly for God the Father.

Yes, mirrors.
Notice,.... "in the beginning was the Word".... then it says this same "was with and was".....God.
The reason it says "was", is because this is Jesus before the Incarnation., before He became a Man.

But even more interesting is that God spoke Words, and Jesus is the "Word made flesh".
Then you have God creating with words....."Let there BE", and it all became "creation" exactly as God designed it in His Eternal mind.

But then it really gets more interesting, when you read John 1:10, that says that Jesus the MAN, stood on the earth HE CREATED, as this verse proves "in the Beginning", "God said, let there be"....
= Jesus is God, in the beginning...
Then in Colossians 1:16 confirms it again.... its says that "all things (Creation) were created by, through .... HIM. = "Him" is Jesus.
So, you have God using Words, to Create, and these Words are Jesus, who stood as a man on the world He created. John 1:10
Jesus is God.
God is Jesus.
The Word is God.
Jesus is the Word, made flesh.

I agree Jesus is God, but generally the Biblical usage is that "God" (theos) is used strictly for God the Father.

If you read John 20:28, you'll find an apostle of Jesus, kneeling before Him, and calling Him GOD.
And you'll note that Jesus didnt correct Him.
Jesus also said .."i go to Your Father, and mine"...
Jesus is God, and i agree that there is a Trinity.

Agree!!! Without a doubt!

The Cloud by Day and Pillar of Fire by Night (Exodus 13:21-22) is specifically identified as Jesus by Paul. (1 Corinthians 10:1-4)

This accompanying “Presence” of God also met face to face with Moses in the tent of meeting and Israel worshiped the Presence... (Exodus 33:7-11)

Why is this important in the (Hebrews 1:3) of the matter and the (Philippians 2:9) Fact?

That Presence we see is identified as “The I Am”... “The Tetragrammaton”, “The Highest known name that identifies the Father.”... “The YHWH, JHVH, YHVH, JHWH” of the matter... and... Romans 10 binds the Greek for YHWH (Romans 10:13) <- {the usage of LORD there is the Greek for YHWH - Romans 10:13 Lexicon: for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."— as the usage of Kuriou is so explicitly intended in the manuscripts to read YHWH that even the watchtower NWT renders it Jehovah -https://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/nwt/books/romans/10— ... which always makes me laugh diabolically, because right in an Arian translation, Calling on Jesus is calling on the name of Jehovah... } to Jesus (Romans 10:9).

One more time without the additions... Romans 10 binds the Name Jesus to the Name of YHWH.

Without a doubt, there is the Trinity. But without a doubt, as YHWH spoke in Isaiah (Isaiah 43:11) which goes very nicely with (Luke 2:11)... and sheds further “LIGHT” on (Isaiah 9:6), there’s no biblical reason to Limit how deeply we can safely ascribe Theos to Jesus Christ.

Without fear or reserve, we can proclaim that Jesus/Yeshua/YeHoShua is God.
