- Who is Jesus Christ? He's the God-man, the eternal Son of God who, in the fullness of time, took on flesh and became fully human--while remaining fully God. This is so important because of what it means for our salvation. If we understand who Christ really is, we can understand who we really are.

#BeTheBee #JesusChrist #OrthodoxChristianity
Thank God for this series! It strengthens my faith a little more each week.
Qqqqqqqq
Thank you 🙏
I'm happiest when I watch these videos.
A great series on the true perspective of Christ's church - love, peace and salvation
Following up on this episode, we're working on an all new "Be the Bee" covering the Fall and Original Sin!
“And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.”
(Acts 22:6-8 KJV)
A lot of contradiction. God does not change his nature but jesus became 2. Person with 2 natures at the incarnation. He is all knowing and all powerful became weak and vulnerable baby. is that's not change in nature of god then what's it !!!
Great episode! My super thanks to everyone who works on these episodes.
I've seen how Orthodoxy can be intimidating for many who are nominal, seekers or just too young and because of that never end up truly taking that step towards our Lord.
These episodes are exactly what people need. They're short, they give the essential, they're well done and they don't intimidate (which is the most important part)
May God continue to bless the work that you're doing brother. It means something!
If someone asked you who Jesus Christ is, what would you say?
My God, my everything ❤🙏💒
The only true human since only he is in perfect communion with God, because he is God?
@Chana Bayla All we're doing is preaching the Gospel Jesus gave to His (Jewish) disciples. So I'm not sure why you'd say Gentiles have an issue with the truth?
can you do a video on prostration? thank you for all the information
I’ve been trying to do some research on the Holy Trinity and I came across a video that said that the Angel of God Sara and Moses were talking to and the man Jacob wrestled was actually Jesus ? I wanted the Orthodox point of view on this. Is this true ?
Yes indeed! And not just those moments:
When Adam and Eve heard the footsteps of God in the Garden, when Moses spoke to God face-to-face as with a friend, when the Word of God visited prophets and was often seen by Israel, etc. All Christ.
@@stevenchristoforou1667 thank you very much
Great stuff! I love this topic. I have but one issue to take up with you though lol. Christ is perfect in his divinity and his humanity. But we still don't beleive that makes it 2 nature's. Just as some of the other theological "mysteries" like that of the trinity, the non chalcedonian Orthodox churches do not call it 2 nature's. The yes it is still the full human nature and the full divine nature. But in Christ they are one. And therefore without mingling. Confusion alteration separation etc. 2 nature's may lead to confusion, which nature is in control and when? St Cyril of Alexandria eloquently put it as "the one nature of God the incarnate Logos" perfect in his humanity and perfect in his divinity. So ya i like to think it is just a misuse of words on each sides part. But the main concept is still there: both natures are perfect and complete within the person of Christ.
Peter Saad Yeah, this is an example where people say the same thing differently. St Cyril is a great example of this: in 433 he accepted a letter which followed on the Council of Ephesus (431), and spoke of Christ's two natures. Though he normally expressed the belief in one way, he could accept a different phrasing of the same Faith.
Very well put *****. The wording may lead some to see the ideologies as different, when in fact they could not be more similar in their aim and in their conceptual meaning. I'm very grateful to have these discussions with you man as well as learning from your great video series. Looking foward to the episodes you put up around pascha and resurrection. Keep up the great work bro and may God bless your service.
“Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” -Luke 13:23-24 Do you understand the question in the above Scripture? “Lord, are there few that be saved?” Someone came to Jesus and wanted to know if “few” people were saved. It's interesting that the person didn't ask if “many” people were saved. Evidently the person had been listening to Jesus' preaching and became convinced that few people were really saved. When the Bible speaks of being “saved,” it means saved from God's wrath upon Christ-rejecting sinners in Hell (for more on hell see our playlist "Dealing with Hell, Lake of Fire, Unpopular Bible Doctrines" with 30 videos at ua-cam.com/play/PLE04A1D0DFE95B95E.html & "Eternal Punishment, Part 1" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=12607145320 & "Eternal Punishment, Part 2" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=12607143539). Romans 5:9, “Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” All Christ-rejecters go to Hell if they die in their sins. If a person is “saved,” then they are going to Heaven when they die. Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” We are saved from the eternal consequences of sin, which is punishment in hellfire. To be saved is synonymous with being “born again.” When a person becomes a born-again child of God, they are saved eternally. EVERY human being MUST to be saved (i.e., born again) to enter into Heaven. John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” If a person dies in their sins without believing on Jesus as the Savior, the Son of God, they will burn in Hell forever (Revelation 20:11-15).Just as the disciple who asked Jesus the question in Luke 13:23, I myself often wonder how few are truly born again believers. I dare say not many. Let's consider the question again...“Lord, are there few that be saved?” There are over one billion Catholics in the world who errantly believe that the Catholic Church is going to save them. Roman Catholics do not trust Jesus Christ alone; but rather, rely upon manmade traditions and self-righteous works to save them. According to the Word of God, genuine Catholics are hellbound in their sins because they are trusting in self-righteousness (Romans 3:20; 10:3-4; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5, see our playlist "Dealing with Roman Catholicism, Idolatry & the Virgin Mary" with 129 videos & counting at ua-cam.com/play/PLFFA8D69D1B914715.html). There are over one billion Islamic Muslims in the world who deny that Jesus Christ ever died upon a cross for our sins (see our playlist "Dealing with Islam, Muslims: Sunni, Shi'ite, Alawites, Sufis" with 67 videos at ua-cam.com/play/PL1C7F68B548009FDD.html). According to the Bible, they are antichrists and liars on their way to Hell (1st John 2:22-23). There are over 183,000 cults in Japan alone that deny Jesus Christ as the only Savior of the world. Other false religions include Scientology, Hinduism, Wicca, Buddhism, Seventh Day Adventism, Zoroastrianism, Greek Orthodox, Judaism, Jehovah Witness, Mormonism, Freemasonry, and many more (see our UA-cam channel CAnswersTV at ua-cam.com/users/CAnswersTV with over 615 videos covering most of these anti Christian religions in detail). Why do I call them “false religions”? It's simply because they all corrupt the Biblical teaching of salvation, i.e., the gospel (see our playlist "Dealing with Anti Trinitarians (UPC) & Early Church History" with 48 videos at ua-cam.com/play/PL9931642C7C8FFEAB.html). Most false religions ADD works to faith. Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses DENY the deity of Jesus Christ (i.e., that He is Almighty God) - see our playlists "Dealing with Mormonism, the Religion of Mitt Romney & Utah" with 20 videos at ua-cam.com/play/PL11CD0EE613306BB5.html & "Dealing with Jehovah's Witnesses, Watchtower Society" with 22 videos at ua-cam.com/play/PLCF0ADB29C0EB8C40.html. Seventh Day Adventists falsely and deceitfully redefine faith to mean works (see our playlist, "Dealing with Seventh-day Adventism & Their "Prophetess" with 23 videos at ua-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html). There are hundreds of millions of followers of Hinduism who deny Jesus as the Savior, the Son of God (see our playlist "Dealing with Anti Christ Cults, "New Age" & World Religions" with 42 videos at ua-cam.com/play/PL69A3047B3497590A.html). Judaism denies that Jesus is the Messiah. The same Pharisaical Jews who crucified Jesus 2,000 years ago are crucifying Him today. The Campbellite Church of Christ deceitfully speaks of faith in Christ, but also requires water baptism and living the Christian life to be saved. That is works salvation, which is a lie of the Devil (Romans 3:20; Romans 4:5-6, see our playlist "Dealing with "Saved by Works & Baptism", "Church of Christ" with 72 videos at ua-cam.com/play/PLBD55090718DA6D3D.html). Every Catholic claims not to worship Mary, but the second commandment (Exodus 20:3-5) forbids even bowing to Mary (which every Catholic does, for more on the Roman Catholic installation of the worship of saints, images, & polytheism in church history hear "Perseverance of the Saints & the Worship of Saints (Historical Theology Vol. 1, #17)" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=14101149112 & "The Worship of Images & Civil Authorities (Historical Theology Vol. 1, #18)" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=15101057200). There are hundreds of millions of so-called Charismatic & Pentecostal "Christians" who trade the Word of God for their own wild emotional experiences & replace the Biblical gospel for a gospel of "heath & wealth" despite 1 Timothy 6:10 saying, "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" - see our two video series on this: "Blasphemous Charismatic & Pentecostal Mayhem #1: Mad Delusional Experiences Replace Scripture Alone" at ua-cam.com/video/Kbv7YsyMf0I/v-deo.html begins one series while "AGONY OF THE PHONY WORD-FAITH TV PREACHERS #1: MIND SCIENCE ORIGINS OF KENNETH HAGIN & HIS DISCIPLES" at ua-cam.com/video/VwQ5BLrYD_U/v-deo.html begins another series. Even secular humanism, atheism & agnosticism can be considered faith based religions due to the fact that atheists & humanists have a faith that God does not exist while agnostics are willingly ignorant concerning God (see our playlist "Dealing with "God Hating" Atheists, Agnostics, Know-It-Alls" with 20 videos at ua-cam.com/play/PL640E505B96CD6B39.html). Many animistic religions exist throughout the world as well which are described in Romans 1:18-32, see our video "FOREIGN MISSIONS FOR CHRIST: PREACHING TO CANNIBALS, WITCH DOCTORS & TRIBAL NATIVES" at ua-cam.com/video/ACnDLyXa9H0/v-deo.html. All of the religions I have just mentioned account for well over seven eighths of the earth's population or more. Keep in mind, besides all of this, Jesus said, "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24). Who are considered "rich people"? It's not just millionaires & world leaders but many lesser wealthy persons who exceed the vast majority of mankind in money & possessions (Luke16:19-31 is a good example of this in the parable of the rich man & Lazarus). See the video "It is Difficult for Americans to Enter Heaven - Tim Conway" at ua-cam.com/video/bDwNGXciNCQ/v-deo.html. Statistics provided in this video show that even the poorest Americans living in the United States have a better net income than most of the world. For instance, according to Forbes magazine, June 1, 2013, the bottom 5% of United States citizens are richer than 68% of people living throughout the rest of the world; U.S. citizens who make $50,000 a year are richer than 99.69% of the people in the rest of the world; U.S. citizens who make $20,000 a year are richer than 96% of the people in the rest of the world, U.S. citizens who make $10,000 a year are richer than 84% of the people in the rest of the world; U.S. citizens who make $100,000 a year are in a category that only 8 out of every 10,000 people achieve in the entire world. Will it be difficult for rich Americans who don't think they're rich to enter into the kingdom of heaven? Jesus already gave the answer. For more on this hear "Those Whom God Hates He Is Often Pleased To Give Plenty Of Earthly Things To, Edwards" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=427121150346 by the well known theologian Jonathan Edwards who also preached the most famous sermon on North American soil called, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=770213541. If you don't like what I am telling you then get mad at God because He wrote the Bible. If you take the Bible at FACE VALUE, you can only interpret it one way. The best way to interpret the Bible is with the Bible. God said what He meant and meant what He said. Let the Bible speak for itself. Jesus answered the question in Luke 13:24 with the following words...“...for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” Most of the people in this world are going straight to Hell when they die because they have not been born again (hear "Few Saved From A Burning Hell" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=3514145121). Lies and deception are everywhere! Catholics and Jehovah Witnesses claim to be born-again but they are NOT. You can't get born-again by doing good works, confessing your sins to a priest, getting water baptized, joining a church or keeping the Sabbath Day. Salvation is NOT found in any religion; but rather, in a Person-The Lord Jesus Christ! Most people today have churchianity without Christianity, and they are all going to Hell if they don't repent toward God of their unbelief (for more on this see our video "TRUE BELIEVERS & NON BELIEVERS ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL OF THE REFORMATION: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?" at ua-cam.com/video/3_dN0oC57Rk/v-deo.html). The vast majority of so-called "Evangelical Christians" in the world today do not know what the Biblical gospel is or what "justification by faith alone" is (see our video "SAD STATE OF THE CHURCH: 87% OF EVANGELICAL "CHRISTIANS" DON'T KNOW WHAT GOSPEL JUSTIFICATION IS" at ua-cam.com/video/im4ozy_EiR4/v-deo.html. There are only two types of religions in the world: DO and DONE. Either you believe that you have to DO something to go to Heaven; or else you believe that it is DONE, paid for by Jesus' precious blood. Jesus said in Luke 13:24 that “many” will seek to enter into Heaven but will not be able. That is quite startling. Jesus said the same thing in Matthew 7:21-23 . . . “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” The reason why these religious people were not allowed into Heaven was because they attempted to enter Heaven through their own self-righteousness. In Matthew 5:20 Jesus spake concerning the religious leaders of His time . . . “For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Most of the religious churchgoers in the world today are as lost as can be, still hellbound in their wickedness. They have not done the will of God concerning salvation, which is to BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST (John 6:40; Acts 16:30-31). Jesus provides two contrasts in Luke 13:24, the contrast between seeking to enter and striving to enter and the contrast between seeking to enter through the narrow door and seeking to enter by any other means. Let’s now focus on the second contrast. Look at verses 25-27:"Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, 'Lord, open up to us!' then He will answer and say to you, 'I do not know where you are from.' 26 "Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets'; 27 and He will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you are from; DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.' (Luke 13:25 NAU) Jesus’ statement at the end of 25 and the middle of 27 is translated well in the NIV: “I don't know you or where you come from.” In effect, He is saying, “I don’t know you at all! You may think that you are mine, but I have nothing to do with you - I don’t even know your family, your village” So what does Jesus mean by the narrow door? What is His intended contrast with other methods of entering? Again, let’s begin by considering what the narrow door is not: The narrow door is NOT being in a church, reading the Bible, listening to sermons, looking to others like a Christian. This is clear from verse 26: these evildoers looked just like believers who had been with Jesus. They had listened to His preaching. But He does not know them, and they stand condemned.The narrow door is NOT being prominent in this life. Jesus says in verse 30 that some who are presently first will be last. Prominence now is no guarantee of one’s entering through the narrow door.The narrow door is NOT being a descendant of a great believer. See verse 28. Remember, Jesus is speaking to descendants of Abraham and Jacob. I sometimes like to use the expression, “God has no grandchildren.” Each of us must come to Jesus on our own, not through our parents, our grandparents, or other ancestors. Then what does Jesus mean by the narrow door? Elsewhere, Jesus says He Himself is the door: I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. (John 10:9) In what sense is this door narrow? In two ways. First, the door is narrow in the sense that no one comes to the Father any other way (John 14:6). No religious activities - Christian or non-Christian - bring us into the Kingdom. Sincere beliefs do not bring us in. Good works do not bring us in. Good feelings about our relationship with Christ do not bring us in. Though in our pluralistic society this message is despised, we must preach, teach, and live out this truth: There is only one door, and that narrow door is Jesus. The Lake of Fire is waiting for "many" when they die. Jesus' disciple asked Him if few people are going to Heaven. Jesus replied that many people will attempt, but fail. When the floods came in Noah's day, many people tried to get on the ark, but it was too late once the door was closed. When the bridegroom came in Matthew 25:1-13, the five foolish virgins were left behind because they were gone buying oil at the last moment. Do not likewise make the mistake of delaying salvation, for you will be sorry when it is too late. Few souls are going to Heaven. Jesus said, "Only those who find that strait gate and narrow way that leadeth unto life (Matthew 7:13-15), which is the righteousness of Jesus Christ will make it to heaven. So many churchgoers have religion, but they have never truly been born of the spirit of God, which is the Spirit of Christ (Romans 8:9, hear "Why Are So Few People Saved?" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=111710103558). Salvation happens when a person acknowledges their guilt of sin unto God in repentance; believing on Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God, to be forgiven (this is a supernatural action caused by God in the heart of a repentant sinner in 2 Timothy 2:24-26; see also "SUPERNATURAL BIBLE PROPHECY CONCERNING JESUS THE JEWISH MESSIAH (PART #1)" at ua-cam.com/video/DVByqkjwChs/v-deo.html). We are SINNERS and Jesus is the wonderful SAVIOR! Acts 10:43, “To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins.” Salvation is given to those "few" who have been ordained to eternal life by God Himself (Acts 13:48). And who are those "few"? Jesus answers that question in John chapter 6:37,39,44,63 & 65: "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day." "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." " It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." "And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father." For more on this see our video "The Sovereignty of God Versus Man-Made Religions, Hollywood Movies & Petty Emotionalism" - ua-cam.com/video/1UQABR_9gGI/v-deo.html. Keep in mind that God works with relatively few numbers throughout world history (remember how Elijah thought he was the last prophet of God left in Israel in 1 Kings 19:13-18 & the Lord had to correct Elijah about the number but still the number God told Elijah was small). The God of the Bible has always had His way of operating His plan in this world & it has always been consistently with small numbers (1 Corinthians 1:26-29, "For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence." For an excellent message concerning the small numbers God has historically employed please hear the outstanding theologian Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones in his sermon "Sermon 113 - Three-score and Fifteen Souls" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=99217141430450. We also have a video along these lines called " Biblical Predestination #6: God Only Chooses a FEW for Salvation (Many Called/Few Chosen)" - ua-cam.com/video/veCdGzYsc70/v-deo.html. See also our video "Strive To Enter - But Many Will Not Be Able To - Greg Van Court - Dayspring Fellowship, Austin, TX" at ua-cam.com/video/qr2Rn-7o4RA/v-deo.html. 2 Timothy 2:15, "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Corinthians 13:5, "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?"
What about all the people that believe Jesus is the literal Son of God do they have eternal life?
childlike faith We're covering that a bit in this week's episode, coming on Thursday. In short, God grants us all eternal life. The question is how we receive it.
Not always sure we are saved by faith,but putting you faith in Buhda will not save you.
GOD/YHWH is ONE person and is The Father of Jesus Christ.
It is GOD who IS "The Father".
It is Jesus who is GOD's *son*
Jesus is "The son of God".

_'And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and _*_worshipped Him_*_ (προσεκύνησαν) and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.'_ Matthew 2_11.
Being Man _He PRAYS_ to the Father; Being God _He is WORSHIPPED_.
[edit @ May_17_2015] Please note that _prayer_ *IS NOT* the same as _worship_.
The magii (three wise men) offer him Gold because He is _King_; Frankincense because He is _God_, and Myrrh because he is _Man_ who will taste death for our sake.
Christ is One Hypostasis ('person') having Two Natures: Divine and Human. The bible is not written in way that it can be used to theologize by proof texting verses. The Church came _before_ the New Testament scriptures. The language of scripture is not always clear and *we are all fallible human beings* with biases *_and sin_* which make it impossible for us to discern the mysteries of God. Moreover, there are different manuscript traditions and no translation can ever be perfect. This is why Eastern Orthodox Christians rely on Holy Tradition instead of their own interpretations of scripture.
_'And when they saw him, they _*_worshipped_*_ Him: but some doubted'_ - Matthew 28_17
_'And Thomas answered and said unto Him, _*_My Lord and my God_*_'_ John 20_27,28
_'But _*_unto the Son_*_ he [David] saith _*_Thy throne, O God_*_ is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.'_ Hebrews 1_8
_'For verily He took on Him _*_not the nature of angels_*_; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham'_ Hebrews 2_16
_'And again, when he bringeth in the firstborn into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship Him.'_ - Hebrews 1_6
Godly Mathew
David was worshipped also but this does not make him God.
*You said,*
"Being Man He worships the Father; Being God He is worshipped."

Jesus Christ tells us that he ascended *TO* God.
*AFTER* Jesus ascended to heaven, he is sitting on God's throne *with* God. Rev 3:21

Are you aware that "GOD" was a later insertion and it originally said, "He who was manifest...", speaking of Jesus?
Do you honestly believe that God was justified in the Spirit?
God does *NOT* need to be justified in any way!
You also believe that God was "received up in glory"?
It is GOD who does the receiving.
Jesus Christ ascended *TO* God. Jn 20:17
Do you not believe God Himself when he said that no one can *see* him and live?
Exodus 33
Do you not believe The Bible when it says that no one has seen God *at any time?*
OurHumbleLife
Thanks for replying.
David was *not* worshiped -- he was (and is) _venerated_ . The word used in scripture can be translated as either 'obeisance' or 'worship' depending on context. The Saints, Icons, Relics, Gospels, etc. are venerated in Eastern Orthodoxy. The Trinity is *Worshiped* being God Himself. Thus Orthodox Christians _worship_ the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The New Testament Scriptures use the word 'God' *θεὸς (theos)* primarily _though not exclusively_ to refer to the Father. An example where it refers to the Father is: 'No one has seen God' meaning no one has seen the Father see John 6_46. Yet we know very clearly that Isaiah saw the Lord God [Isaiah 6_1]. How can this be? Because Isaiah saw the Son -- *not* the Father: see John 12_41. When I said "primarily though not exclusively" I mean that there are instances where the word 'God' is *also* used to refer to the Son -- such as Thomas proclaiming the risen Christ to be both His Lord and His God [John 20_28], and Hebrews 1_8, John 1_1 etc. Please look up Arianism which was a heresy in the early church: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arianism.

Jesus was never GOD he was the CHRIST and was with GOD from before the creation of the world. GOD gave Jesus all authority over heaven and earth. And is at the RIGHT HAND of POWER. Jesus is the LORD by which no other namw is given that we may be saved by the HIGHEST.
That's correct insofar as the word "God" usually refers to "God the Father" specifically.
Yet Jesus Christ is also divine: true God of true God.

"In the Principle is the Word, and the Word is with God, and the Word is God." There is no beginning but there is the Principle in which is the Word. And the verb used in Greek is a durative past, so it must be translated by the present tense.
May You Be Blessed By God, Amen☦️❤️✝️
So Jesus was and is God?
Yes.
@@stevenchristoforou1667 thank you so much for your response. I guess it confuses me when I hear people talk about the Trinity as if they’re 3 fully separate beings. Thank you for making this video as well.

I believe Jesus is truly Gods son he was born of a virgin and did not always exist. Do you believe I can have eternal life with this belief?

I appreciate these very much. These are very helpful. Two things though:
1) it would be helpful if these were perhaps numbered in relation to ordering unless there is no need for a specific ordering. I am not sure where to start and when watching a video I find anothe video referenced that I have not yet seen. Would be helpful to have this feature
2) hate to say it. It I find the music incredibly annoying and distracting. It needs to be more background placement and paired with the speake's voice to properly draw attention to what he is saying rather than distract.
Overall a great idea.
Mark Chambers Thanks for these comments!
1. There are little annotations at the top left and right of each video to go back and forth in the series. And here's the entire playlist, but numbering the episodes is a great idea!

2. We're sorry the music is distracting, we'll lower it in future episodes.
Mark Chambers We've added numbers to each episode, just like you suggested! Hope it helps.
Also, we've tried being more careful about the music. How have we been doing?
Looks and sounds great!
You have taken God and cut him up into three pieces and now you want us to believe he is one?
No he was one before you cut him up now he is three..
John 1:18 "No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known."
Who is HIM the word.
Read John 1:18 again No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made THE WORD known.
The word is not Jesus it is the WORD OF THE FATHER MADE KNOWN.
This is partialiem dude.
(John 1:18) God is usually a word for the Father. “The Word is God” (John1:1
@@shhhhhg Again NOT Jesus …

john 1:3
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. “
“And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live.” - 1 cor 8:6
@@shhhhhg The first verse is referring to God as the word, it was the same word that Jesus clung to in his ministry on earth.
“I do the will of the father not my own will” or “What I hear my father speak, I say onto you”
Therefore the word was God.
The second verse pertains to the risen Christ all things thrones dominions all things are created anew, this is what is referred to as God’s glory.
Which was bestowed upon Jesus Christ due to his victory over Satan
@@johndavid3474
So the same word in 1 Cor 8:6 and John 1:3 means different things?
The verses you quote, is someone telling you to do something qualify you to be called his word? Jesus is the Word of God.
