Is Jesus Christ, God?

Many of us believe in Jesus Christ as God for one simple and recurring theme in the bible, especially in the New Testament--the truth that Jesus is the Son of God. Christian groups around the world, including the Catholic Church, equate the status of deity to Christ simply on the basis of many apostles referring to Jesus as "son of God". Is being a "son of God" automatically makes one, a god?


Is this term "son of God", applies only to Christ in the bible? No.


Several references in the bible point to angels and archangels as "sons of God". In the book of Genesis, angels and the hosts of heaven are referred to as "sons of God". Abraham, one of God's prophets, was once referred to as a "friend of God". Is the statement "son of God" a status that is bestowed by birth or this is earned?


Apostle Paul, in his writings, refer to Christ as a "son of God". John, a dear apostle of Christ, even described Jesus as the "only begotten son of God". When one uses the term "begotten", it connotes being born with it, meaning, being born as a god. But, is this exclusive only to Christ?


In the first letter of John, chapter 3:1-2, it is written:

" Think of the love that the Father has lavished on us, by letting us be called God's children; and that is what we are...My dear people, we are already the children of God but what we are to be in the future has not yet been revealed; all we know is, that when it is revealed we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is."

Paul wrote in Hebrews 12:7, that God treats the true believers as "sons". How did the apostles and the early believers of God thru Christ became "children of God"? The answer is explicit in the next passage:

" Surely everyone who entertains this hope, must purify himself, must try to be as pure as Christ." (1 John 3:3)

How does purification of oneself comes about? 1 Peter 1: 22 writes that the first stage of purification is thru obedience to the truth. What is the truth?


The truth is, that we must all live in the light. This means believers must be in union with God thru Christ (1 John 1:5-7). Living in the light means walking in the light. What is walking in the light means?


It means living a righteous life, acknowledging that Jesus came in the flesh, and brought the message of salvation to the world. After gaining this faith, building it up by following the law through obedience, thereby building love in him. When love has already been planted in the heart of the believer, he automatically lives or walks in the light until the final day of judgment. 


When someone purifies himself like Christ, and believes that "Jesus is the Christ" is a "begotten by God" (1 John 5:1). What these passages say is that Jesus became a begotten son of God when he purified himself before God. How did Jesus purified himself before God, the Father? 


Paul wrote in Hebrews 12:2 that Jesus was the one who "leads us in our faith and brings it to perfection." He further writes that Jesus was the "great shepherd of the sheep by the blood that sealed on eternal covenant" (Hebrews 13:20). It was Christ who sealed the new covenant by his deathly sacrifice. (Hebrews 9:15). Christ was a mediator "so that the people who were called to an eternal inheritance may actually receive what was promised: his death took place to cancel the sings that infringed the earlier covenant.(Hebrews 9:15-17).


How did a mediator become god? Christ was never really a god. He was made as an example of how one, a being in the flesh, becomes a son of God. The life of Jesus was a guide towards how man can save himself from everlasting death and for an eternal residence in the New Heavens that God already assigned as a gift to those who believe. 

The True Church of God

What is the true church of God?

According to the scriptures, the true Church of God is a flock of believers, who believe in the One-ness of God. A church is nothing like those Gothic-inspired structures that we see, oh no. A church is something spiritual, not exactly built on concrete. For everything that we read in the scriptures concern spiritual things, and those who are somewhat material, were meant to be built in order to achieve spiritual holiness.

A church, as I said, is a flock. When you say a flock, it means a group of believers. A church is different from a temple. A temple is a physical place where those who worship God, goes to regularly to do their duties to God.

The true church of God is scattered throughout the world, and in the Last Days, those who truly worship God will be called together by their shepherd. The shepherd will prepare the true believers and servants of God together, and like a bride, prepared for the wedding.

What is this wedding? What does this mean?

It means that the church of God, the flock of believers, will then be made to be one with God. A wedding is not just a rite for lovers. In scriptural terms, it means the one-ness of two bodies, one-ness based on one belief.

One might even say that the wedding describes in the last day, is a rite of passage. Those who believe in God will be one with God, not just in belief, but even in their physical forms. In an instant, those who truly believe God will assume heavenly bodies, because, as I wrote in a previous entry, no impure being can actually see or bear the Face of God. Believers will don a new cloth, a cloth of holiness, fit to see the beauty, and power, and might of God.

This wedding also means that believers will now be under the protection and shield of God. The groom, which in this case is God, will protect the bride from the impending catastrophe. And what is that? It is that great and mighty Day of the Lord, when, God, thru Wisdom, will cast judgment upon the world. It is when everything will be destroyed and replaced by a new Heaven and a New earth. Death will be cast aside and taken into the fiery fires of the Abyss, along with the despicable creatures created by sin and iniquity.
