JESUS is GOD
Nothing can be further from the truth that if Jesus is not God, then He could not have saved anyone from their sins. He had to be righteous and would have to have no sin in order to be able to help anyone. In order for Jesus to be a saviour for anyone, He had to qualify: He has to be without sin. If He had just one sin or even half a sin, He could not qualify to be the Saviour. This is the very reason a human could not qualify to be a saviour let alone for their own sins. We see the picture of this when God commands that the sacrificial offering for sin be "without blemish".We see this phrase used 40 times throughout the Bible (Exodus 12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:) No human therefore could be Saviour, It could only be God in a form of a man for no man qualifies as all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. To say that Jesus the Christ is therefore any less than God, is to say that we do not believe the salvation of the Bible and it's essence and consquently will remain unsaved for believing a lie; 2Thessalonians 2:11 testifies: And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Jesus Is King David's LORD and God This following verse puzzled the Pharisees as they have gathered to trick Jesus; but they were not able to answer Jesus questions as they could not understand or perhaps, did not believe that Jesus is God and that is the only possible answer as David was under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as he wrote the following passage from Psalm110:1 .
Matthew 22:41-46
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.Very interesting as we see those that propagate the idea that the Lord Jesus Christ is not God, can not contest the validity of these verses.There is so much proof that it's ovewhelming. To say otherwise is blasphemy and an isolation from the truth. Those of whom are the children of the Truth and Light, know that they are never alone nor forsaken from the wisdom of God. So much so that continually we will venture to share more of God's truths as the Lord divulges more understanding according to His blessings, if He is willing, in days ahead.
Note:Some of the ideas we present here may not sit well with some. We do not intent to create controversy only that truth will find it's own level which the Bible will or will not collaborates. However, this being a teaching ministry, we encourage your questions and comments to matters that pertain to what we have shared here or any other subjects that you may have questions or need assistance on. If we are able, Lord willing, we will endeavour to do whatever, whenever possible as this is our duty to do. May God give us the eyes to see and the ears to hear.
