I've been quoting verses – many verses that show Jesus is God Himself, incarnated, to dwell among the people and to save mankind. I thought I'd exhausted everything......and yet, I still find more verses.
That message is consistent throughout - from the Old Testament to the New.
This thread is devoted to posting Scriptural evidences that Jesus is God Himself.
Its purpose is to offer a compilation of verses (and reason), for reference, that may also aid Christians who are involved in debates in other forums, showing just that: Jesus and God are One and the Same.
If anyone wishes to debate particular verses to the contrary - please create a separate thread for it.
Let me start with Genesis 1.
The concept of the Triune God is first introduced at the very first 3 statements in Genesis 1.
Genesis 1
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (The Father/Creator)
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. (Holy Spirit)
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. (The WORD)
Take note that in every creation event, this phrase is used: GOD SAID.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”
9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.
God spoke His creation into existence.
That is explained in John 1:
John 1
The Word Became Flesh (Jesus)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(They are One and the Same)
2 He was with God in the beginning.
(Of course. Because they're One and the Same!)
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
(because Jesus was THE WORD in the beginning - God spoke the creation into existence)
