The Bible is the Word of God. It tells us about the life and
death
— and
resurrected life
— of the greatest man who ever lived. His name is Jesus Christ. For centuries men havedebated the identity of this unique man. Was he God? Was he a “mere” man? How did hedo the things he did?We assert that the answers lie in the Bible. If so, the question is: “What does the Biblesay?” Here is a list of logical questions, with pertinent scripture verses, to help us knowwhether or not Jesus is God Almighty.
Question #1: If Jesus is God, how could he die for our sins?
1 Timothy 1:17
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory

forever and ever. Amen.God cannot die, yet Jesus was killed and then resurrected (Acts 5:30). The Bible does notsay that only his “human nature” died; it says that Jesus died, which would include all of Jesus (100%).
1 Corinthians 15:3
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ diedfor our sins according to the Scriptures.
Question #2: How can Jesus be “God” and have a “God” at the same time?
The God of the Bible is the Almighty, the Creator, the Most High, and no one compares toHim. Jesus Christ cannot be “God” if he says that our heavenly Father is his “God.”You cannot
be
the “Most High God” and be in submission to the “Most High God” (1Cor.15:28) and say that He is your God. This makes no sense.If words truly have meaning, then one cannot
be
“God” and
have a
“God” at the sametime.Check out the verses below that clearly show that our Father is the “God” of our LordJesus Christ:
Ephesians 1:17
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, maygive you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
Romans 15:6
…so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of ourLord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort…
Ephesians 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed usin the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
1 Peter 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!The above verses are very clear. Jesus Christ has a God. Who is the God of our Lord JesusChrist? Ephesians 1:17 very clearly says that this God is our glorious Father.Jesus Christ himself called our Father his “God” and Father many different times in

Scripture.
John 20:17
(KJV)…I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"
Revelation 3:12
Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never againwill he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of thecity of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven frommy God; and I will also write on him my new name.
Revelation 3:21
To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, justas I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
Question #3: If Jesus was sitting at the right hand of God in heaven whenthe book of Revelation was written, why does Jesus continue to make suchclear statements that our heavenly Father is his “God” if he himself isGod?
Revelation 1:6
…[Jesus] has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God andFather-- to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
Revelation 3:12
Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never againwill he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of thecity of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven frommy God; and I will also write on him my new name.
Question #4: If God cannot be tempted by evil, yet Jesus was tempted inevery way we are, how can he be God?
James 1:13
For God cannot be tempted by evil.
Hebrews 4:15
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with ourweaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as weare—yet was without sin.The Bible never says that Jesus’ “
human nature
” was tempted, it says “Jesus” wastempted. Nowhere does it say that “part” of Jesus was tempted; it was “all” of him. If Jesusis God, this is a clear contradiction. Fortunately, Jesus is the human Son of God, so there isno contradiction.
