Yes - Acts 20:28. "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 is which He purchased with
His own blood.
Verse states that God purchased the church with His own blood and Jesus is who bought us - so its pretty clear this saying Hes God.
Titus 2: 13. looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of
our great God and Savior Jesus Christ
Isaiah 21:21. Tell and bring forth your case; yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the Lord?
And there is no other God besides Me, a just God and a Savior; there is none besides Me.
John 8: 58. Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.'' Jesus calls Himself I AM to the pharisees making it clear to them Hes calling Himself God to those who know the scriptures since Hes using the name given to moses for the name of God:
Exodus 3: 13. Then Moses said to God, "Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, `The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they say to me,
`What is His name?' what shall I say to them?''
14. And
God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM.'' And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, `I AM has sent me to you.' ''
15. Moreover God said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: `The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.
This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.'
Romans 9: 5. of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh,
Christ came,
who is over all,
the eternally blessed God. Amen.
Collosians 2:
8. Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to
Christ.
9. For
in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
10. and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Hebrews 1: 8. But
to the Son He says: "Your throne,
O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom.
Yes - Acts 5: 3. But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart
to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?
4. "While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart?
You have not lied to men but to God.
He lied to the Spirit -and rightfully says He lied to God because the Spirit is God. see the above verses given already that show that Jesus is God along with this one.
1 John 5: 7. For there are three who bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
Jesus is the word: John 1
1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2. He was in the beginning with God.
3. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
3. Is satan to blame for the negativity in your life or you?
We are. Romans 3: 10. As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;
11. there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God.
12. They have all gone out of the way; they have together become unprofitable;
there is none who does good, no, not one.''
Clearly states
we all sin. We can choose however not to fall into temptation: 1 Corinthians 10:13. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful,
who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
4. Is homosexuality okay or wrong?
Wrong. romans 1: 26. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29. being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
30. backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31. undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32. who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them
.
Jesus defines marriage as a man and a woman in Matthew chapter 19:4. And He answered and said to them, "
Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning `made them male and female,'
5. "and said, `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?
6. "So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.''
There is no need to define what marriage isnt - when its already been defined as what it is.
5. Who will enter into the Kingdom of God?
Those who have been born again/saved
John 3:3. Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you,
unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.''
Romans 10: 9. that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved.
10.
For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.
6. Why are people sick with illnesses and disease?
Because of sin. Romans 5:2. Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned
1 Corinthians 11: 29. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep
.
31. For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
32. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
7. Why was the man Christ Jesus never sick or ill?
Because He was without sin having been born of a virgin and never sinned. Hebrews 4: 14. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
15. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses,
but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
8. Are you suppose to repent daily or only once when you first are saved?
That depends , is ones repentance just over something done and wanting to restore fellowship that sin has hindered or is one thinking that they need salvation all over again? I believe that we should apologise to God when we walk out of felowship however repentance that leads to salvation is a one time event :
Hebrews :Hebrews 6
1. Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
2. of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3. And this we will do if God permits.
4. For it is
impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5. and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
6. if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
9. Do you believe in Once saved always saved?
Yes.
Romans 8
1. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
3. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,
4. that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
8. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
10. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
10. How many people will enter into God's gates?
Countless Unknown numbers.
Revelation 5: 9. And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10. and have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth.''
11.
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands
11. How large in length and width is the holy city in Revelation for the saints who will live with Jesus for 1000 years!
Revelation 21:16. And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.
