If Jesus Isn't God, Then

 Now we need to understand that sometimes words in our English language cannot compare to words in the Greek or Hebrew. So in order to understand that Jesus is God, we have to look up such words as God, Jesus, Christ, Lord, LORD, and Deity. Also, beget, begot, begotten. Also we cannot forget how that sometimes many words especially in scripture have many different meanings depending where one is reading.

  In conclusion, one needs to understand that it's not so important to know that Jesus is God Himself incarnate " TO BE saved," BUT AFTER we begin to study and grow in grace we should be able to understand by faith that Jesus is the very Godman that came down from glory to die for the sin(s) of man so that we (man) can be saved from the penalty and punishment for being a sinner and how He came to redeem the lost and be our sin bearer so we can be born again.

 For if Christ is not who He says He is, then He cannot forgive sin and we would still be forever lost and go to a devil's hell and then on into the Lake of Fire for all eternity. He is our only Hope for He is none other that God Himself.

Jesus- In the Greek form of Jeshua or Joshua meaning the LORD is salvation, or, the salvation of the LORD. Though this name was used many times for people it was necessary to put Him lineage to determine who HE is compared to others with the same name. The name of God's incarnate Son given before birth by divine intimation. Matt. 1:21, Luke 1:31. After the resurrection it was a common thing to link His humanity name with Christ and LORD. With this He could be confidently referred to the (promised) Christ, (Messiah). Christ- krist; In the Greek khris-tos, anointed, Messiah. khree-o; prob. akin. To smear or rub with oil. Lord- In the greek, kyrios. Can be used and is widely used extending from polite address to superior through subjection to the master of a house, head of a family, or the supreme authority in a state, up to Christian obedience to God. Kyrios directly translates to Adonai, Lord. Personal name of God, Yahweh, Jehovah. God is addressed as God the Father and is Lord of heaven and earth. Mostly used in the New Testament. Generally however Lord is used as Jesus also. LORD- As the above but must be read in context for determination of proper addressing.

Deity- (1) The existence of a personal God; not (g)od, but, Creator and Ruler of the universe.

(2) The center of divine worship with God the Creator as that center

(3) The center of ethical conduct

(4) The necessity of repentance from sin (s).

 (5) Divine rewards and punishments here in this life and the life here after. Beget- bi-get; v.t. Archaic-gat, To procreate, be the father of. To cause to be. God created from within Himself with power we cannot phathom, came His ONLY begotten Son. Not as we are when He begets us from the point when become born again, but Jesus was from within the Father long into eternity that was never known or, where, as we may say or think eternity began for the eternal Godhead has always been.

Matthew 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

8 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

14 And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

 Matthew 9:1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.

2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 8But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour

 25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

 33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
