Who Is Jesus?

[Baby Cottontail]

I consider Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the manifestations of God the Father.

This is objectionable of the Nicene Creed:
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,

Do you believe that all three exist -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit -- at the same time?

 

[Baby Cottontail]

Do you understand that these all refer to the Lord Jesus Christ.

The name of the Lord has been revealed to us.

The Name above all names.

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”

57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”

58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”

59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. John 8:56-59

So, do you believe that Jesus is the only Person who is God?

Do you believe that all three exist -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit -- at the same time?

No, the Son was begotten later though the Word was God in the thought of God.

Do you believe that the Word is Jesus?

 

[Righttruth]

Do you believe that the Word is Jesus?

Jesus is the incarnation, in a way, of the Word (Word became flesh)

 

[JLB777]

So, do you believe that Jesus is the only Person who is God?

The Name of Jesus refers to, and represents the fullness of the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; Colossians 2:9


Jesus is the Name of the only begotten Son of God, which is the Father's Name, given to Him by His Father.

• The Name above every Name.

I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.
John 17:11 NIV

I am no longer in the world; yet they are still in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, so that they may be one just as We are.
John 17:11 AMP

And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are. John 17:11 ASV


And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name which You have given to Me, in order that they may be one, just as We are.
John 17:11 Disciples’ Literal New Testament


“Now I am coming to you. I will not stay in the world, but these followers of mine are still in the world. Holy Father, keep them safe by the power of your name—the name you gave me. Then they will be one, just as you and I are one. John 17:11 ERV

Okay -- -- but you don't think the Word existed as a Person before Jesus?

Do you believe that the Father is a different Person from Jesus?

 

[Righttruth]

Okay -- -- but you don't think the Word existed as a Person before Jesus?

Special definition is made to consider God the Father and the Holy Spirit as also Persons. By that one may consider the Word as a Person too.

Okay -- thanks. I just wanted to check to see where you were coming from. I agree that the Father, Word, and Holy Spirit are Persons....

The reason I was asking is because it almost sounded like you believed the Father was all three Persons, but it appears that you don't
