Why The Lord Jesus is Not God
BIBLICAL EVIDENCES THAT PROVE THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST
IS NOT THE TRUE GOD
Part 1
THE
Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) firmly believes that the Lord Jesus Christ
is man in nature and He is not God because this is what the Bible explicitly
teaches. If we are going to examine the teachings written in the Bible, the
evidences are overwhelming that the Lord Jesus Christ is indeed not the true
God the Holy Scripture teaches.
THE FATHER ALONE IS
THE TRUE GOD
Why the Lord
Jesus Christ is not God? Because there is only one true God, the Father, and the
Lord Jesus Christ is not the Father but the Son of the One True God.
The Lord Jesus
Himself clearly said that the Father is the only true God:
John 17:1,3 NKJV
1Jesus
spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the
hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,
3And
this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom You have sent.
Even Apostle
Paul also said that the Father alone is the rue God:
I Corinthians 8:6 NKJV
6yet
for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him;
and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we
live.
Thus, the
apostle explicitly wrote that the true God is the God and Father of the Lord
Jesus Christ:
I Corinthians 1:3 NKJV
3Grace
to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
II Corinthians 1:3 NKJV
3Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God
of all comfort,
Ephesians 1:1-3 NKJV
1Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in
Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: 2Grace to you and peace from God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly
places in Christ,
Philippians 1:2 NKJV
2Grace
to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:1-3 NKJV
1Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2To the
saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you and
peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3We give thanks to the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
I Peter 1:3 NKJV
Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant
mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead,
This is what apostles
taught and wrote because this is what they heard from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself:
John 20:17 NKJV
17Jesus
said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My
Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and
your Father, and to My God and your God.'"
Thus, we
firmly believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is not God because His Father is the
only true God. Hence, when we say that Jesus is not God, we only mean that the
Lord Jesus Christ is not the Father, but the Son of the One True God.
