- Many people will admit that Jesus was an actual historical person who lived in Palestine. But is He the Son of God? Once we have submitted to the reliability of Scripture, we can no longer brush aside its repeated affirmations of the deity of Christ. In this message, R.C. Sproul defends the fundamental doctrine of Jesus’ divinity.

I would like to personally thank everyone there for sharing Dr. Sproul’s sermons with us all as I started listening to his sermons about 2 months ago and they have transformed my Christian life and now I’ve got the most beautiful, intimate, loving relationship with Christ Jesus that I never even knew was possible for someone like myself could ever have as I’m 55 and paralyzed from my waist down for 35 years and I’m in a nursing home right now and I’ve been in one for 15 years and bedridden for 3 years and Inow I’ve never been more extremely joyful, excited, thankful, elated, blessed, and overwhelmingly full of the peace that surpasses all understanding! Thank you all so very very much! God bless you all! 🙏
Thank God (Christ Jesus) for all the biblical teachings of Dr Sproul.

Thank you RC sprual for this precious teaching ✝️🙏🏽 i am a missionary from india. I am learning from you alot
I’ll pray for you, Aszo. You have a hard work ahead of you. You would be wise to get all the resources that God has given us through brother RC.
@@dustywclark thank you so much for the prayers and concern ✝️🙏🏽 i am working on one independent reform ministry in India, especially focusing the youths so that we can get to the old root of the scriptures sound teaching inspite of modern false teaching and preaching. Please pray for me that Lord will be my portion.Amen.✝️
@@aszochang4183 Any advice for witnessing to a relatively young Hindu woman? I've told her the gospel, and I know the rest is up to God, but I don't know anything about the culture. Any tips?
@@imamjimjamlawrence greetings my fellow friend in Christ 🙏 when we engage in sharing gospel with non believers wether Hindu or any other religions, i believe it is very important for to first be familiar with their culture and their lifestyle, what they like and what not. We make sure that they not offended at our first impression because we may not have second chance to witness Christ among them. We first get to know them , make friends with them but not to share in their rituals or and system of belief which resulting to compromise our Faith. Once we knows them well enough they that's the moment you present the Living Gospel of Christ. Some will reject some will accept but as far as i experience, after knowing them personally well even though they reject me sharing gospel at first I am still remain as their friends so I have second chance to witness Christ to them. However We only labour but the fruits are of Christ. Our duty is to present gospel with words and our living style and wether they receive Christ or not it's upto Holy Spirt speaking to their Hearts convicting of their wrong ways . This is just a small tips which I learnt from my experience. If this can help you. Christ be magnified Amen ✝️
Thank you Ligonier..
AND, let us NOT FORGET the testamony of THE FATHER HIMSELF concerning JESUS in HEBREWS 6 and continueing, "and let all the angels of God worship Him, -- verse 8, But onto the Son He saith, THY THRONE, O GOD, is for ever and ever.-------
Amen!. . 🙏
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

@@jessyjonas4988 did that need to be defined?
@@HearGodsWord just thought I would what price will I pay
@@jessyjonas4988 sorry, I don't understand what you were trying to say in that comment. Maybe we'll just leave it there.
Scripture indicates that God alone is to be worshipped (Deut. 6:13; Matt 4:9-10), yet Jesus is worshipped and accepts such worship (Matt. 14:33; John 5:21-23 Heb. 1:6; Rev 1:17), If Jesus were merely human it would be wrong to honour Him as God alone is to be honoured. Yet, we read that devout Jews in the New Testament bowed down and worshipped Jesus (i.e. “doubting” Thomas in John 20:28) and Jesus accepted that worship.
The Bible tells us that Jesus has the same attributes as God, being: eternal (John 1:1-3; 8:58), all-powerful (Matt. 28:18), all-knowing (John 21:17), and loving (Rom 8:35-39). If someone possessed the same characteristics, the same nature as God, in the same way that God did, what would that make Him?
Jesus is said to have been given the name that is above every other name (Phil. 2:9-11). Jesus is called God (John 20:28), Lord (Acts 1:24), the King of kings (Rev 19:16), Saviour (Luke 2:11), and the First and the Last (Rev 1:7-8).
Who can do the things that God alone does? Jesus is said to be the creator (John 1:3), the sustainer of all things (Heb. 1:2-3), He is sovereign over the forces of nature (Matt. 8:2327), the one who forgives sins (Matt 9:1-8), and even the one who gives life (John 1:4; 5:21).
Lastly, Jesus sits on God’s throne (Rev. 3:21), ruling over all things (Rev 5:13). This is nothing short of claiming to be equal with God (John 10:27-33). Jesus is the judge of all history, of the entire world, of each person - to Him every knee will bow.
When the Church Council met and agreed that Holy Trinity is God, and is also a Mystery i prefer to leave it as it is: The Father is the God Head, Jesus Christ begotten of Father, the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son equal the Triune God.

Matthew 28
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
can you make disciples out of infants? scripture is clear you first have to choose to be a disciple of Christ then comes baptism
So did the 12 disciples choose to be Jesus' disciples?
If Jesus is God (or equal to God the father), why did he call our God and Father his God and Father at John 20:17?
What's wrong with that Sir?
If Christ called God His Father and His God, did it make Jesus not God?
How about God Himself when he called Jesus Oh God, You Lord?
Makes God not God?

Hebrews 1:8
Interesting.
The New World Translation puts it this way:
“But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.”
The American Standard version puts it this way.:
“but of the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.”
The Bible in Living English this way:
“but as to the Son “God is your throne forever and ever, and the scepter of integrity is the scepter of his reign.”
The Emphasized Bible:
“but as to the Son-Thy throne, O God, is unto times age-abiding, and-A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of his kingdom,”
The King James Bible:
“But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.”
So either way, what does it mean? Is it literal? Poetic? What do we know of the throne? We know that Jehovah, the Father sits on the throne, and Jesus, the son, sits at his right hand.
Psalm 110:1
Hebrews 12:2 and 10:12 and 1:3
Acts 2:33,34 and 5:31
As a side note, where does the Holy Spirit sit? Not even an honorable mention?
So I guess, it all depends on which Bible you prefer to use, and which Bible is in harmony with other scriptures, as a full context. For example John 20:17, mentioned earlier, (King James) says “Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.”
The deity of Christ, according to the Holy Bible, is very simple.
The deity is God, and God was in Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:19
When Jesus was 30 years old and ready to begin his work, he went to the Jordan river and was baptized by John, and was anointed by God with the Holy Ghost.
From that moment and forward, God was manifest in the flesh.
The deity of Christ is God.
Amen.
John 1:1 In the beginning was MICHAEL , and MICHAEL was with God, and MICHAEL IS AN ANGEL.
IN THE BEGINNING WAS JESUS, AND JESUS WAS WITH GOD, AND JESUS WAS AN ANGEL.
Rev 10:1 And I saw another MIGHTY ANGEL come down from heaven, CLOTHED WITH A CLOUD: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, HAVING GREAT POWER; and the earth was lightened with HIS GLORY.
Rev. 10:1 QUESTION: Who is the MIGHTY ANGEL coming down from heaven CLOTHED WITH A CLOUD ?
Rev. 18:1 QUESTION; Who is the angel coming down from heaven HAVING GREAT POWER AND GLORY ?
ANSWER: Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man COMING IN THE CLOUDS of heaven WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of THE ARCHANGEL, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Question: Why is Jesus has the voice of the ARCHANGEL ?
ANSWER: JESUS IS MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
VERY SIMPLE !!!!!!!
SIMPLE TRUTH CAN NOT BE GRASPED OR UNDERSTOOD FOR THOSE SATAN INSPIRED ...
Yeshua from Nazareth was a King, Priest and a Prophet. He is alive and remains a King and a High Priest, that communicates through Elohim (YHWH) and the Ruach Hakodesh.
Read 1 Samuel 26. Psalm 37.
"The Deity of Christ: Defending Your Faith"
Kind belated Sir...Your Title and foreword are great! For...
...MOST of the Christian World; believes that Jesus is ONLY; the "Son of God". And no where like their God Almighty. How foolish they are to believe such satan-led, Godless Hogwash!
Yes, Jesus was the Son of God; But...He was also the Father and the Holy Spirit; at the same time. Now many would say, "That is impossible!". But in...
Matthew 19:26 Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Thus, Jesus proved this when chastising Phillip in...
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
And Jesus said, "don't touch me...."; before He ascended back into Heaven.
And why God asked His Angel to tell Mary, "Ye shall name the child Yeshua (Jesus in English). For the Israelites/Jews had Polluted, Prostituted and Blasphemed God's name. So He changed it. Amen!
Jesus isn’t denying the personal distinction between father and son in John 14:9. the reason why Jesus could say this is because he had earlier proven that the father and the son are one in essence/nature see John 10:27-33. The very fact that Jesus addresses the father as my father denotes a personal distinction.
furthermore, verse 16 from the very same chapter you quoted refutes your damnable heresy. It says, And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
notice here that Jesus will ask the father, denoting once again, that he is distinct from the father, to send the spirit, which shows that the spirit is distinct from the father and the son, since one. Jesus says that the father will send the spirit,
and 2. Jesus Ccalls the Holy Spirit another comforter,
repent of your damnable heresy sir, and place your faith in the only true God of the Bible, the Triune God.
@@e.t.h.559 I'm not sure where pat gets their theology but they desperately need to find themselves a Bible believing church.
Astonishing that someone, who is able state the problem so clearly, gets so onesided in his conclusions.
Such as?
The truth HAS to be one-sided.
@@HearGodsWord Such as to think the bible is gods word.
@@dustywclark I pity you for your intellectual inner world.
@@norbertjendruschj9121 so you're upset about his accurate conclusion. There was no other one to give.
This man like many others use the word "deity" meaning Jesus is directly part of God. He doesn't understand so I will explain salvation. Jesus is not born of man/Adam. The rest of us are under the sin curse of Adam that God put death onto mankind when Adam sinned. All men born of men have that sin curse , all but Jesus. Jesus doesn't have that price to pay of death so he can take yours and pay it for you. He is the son of God and not man. It is not complicated like many would have you think with all this theology babbling..
