For he received from God the Father honour and
glory, when there came such a voice to him from
the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased.(2 Peter 117)
4
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet
fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, before Abraham was, I am. Then took they
up stones to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself,
and went out of the temple, going through the
midst of them, and so passed by. (John 857-59)
5
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled
thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep
back part of the price of the land? While it
remained, was it not thine own? and after it was
sold, was it not in thine own power? Why hast
thou conceived this thing in thine heart? Thou
hast not lied unto men, but unto God.(Acts 5
3-4)
6
Is Jesus identified in scripture as God? Video
2Who is the Alpha and the Omega in the Book of
Revelation?(Video Walter Martin)
7
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
ending saith the Lord, which is, and which was,
and which is to come, the Almighty.(Rev. 18)
8
And, behold, I come quickly and my reward is
with me, to give every man according as his work
shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end, the first and the last.(Rev.
2212-13)
9
Further identification of speakerI Jesus
have sent mine angel to testify unto you these
things in the churches. I am the root and the
offspring of David, and the bright and morning
star.(Rev 2216)
10
Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his
redeemer the LORD of hosts I am the first, and I
am the last and beside me there is no
God.(Isaiah 446)
11
Further Biblical EvidencesIdentification of
coming Messiah as Mighty God, Everlasting
FatherFor unto us a child is born, unto us a
son is given and the government shall be upon
his shoulder and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the
everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace.(Isaiah 96)
12
Christ Identified as MessiahThe woman saith
unto him, I know that Messiah cometh, which is
called Christ when he is come, he will tell us
all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak
unto thee am he.(John 4 25-26)
13
God Speaking to God?But unto the Son he God
saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever a
sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy
kingdom.(Heb. 18)
14
And Again?For David himself said by the Holy
Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my
right hand, till I make thine enemies thy
footstool.(Mark 1236) A Psalm of David. The
LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right
hand, until I make thine enemies thy
footstool.(Psalm 1101)
15
who being the brightness of his glory, and the
express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the word of his power, when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right
hand of the Majesty on high.(Heb. 13)
16
Christs Equality with GodLet this mind be in
you, which was also in Christ Jesus Who, being
in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be
equal with God But made himself of no
reputation, and took upon him the form of a
servant, and was made in the likeness of men And
being found in fashion as a man, he humbled
himself, and became obedient unto death, even the
death of the cross. (Phil. 25-8)
17
There are numerous passages of scripture where
Christ assumes the role of Jehovah as well as the
powers of Jehovah.
18
And they asked him, Why do the scribes say that
first Elijah must come? And he said to them,
Elijah does come first to restore all things.
And how is it written of the Son of Man that he
should suffer many things and be treated with
contempt? But I tell you that Elijah has come,
and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it
is written of him.(Mark 911-13)
(Crossreference - Mal. 31 45-6)
19
The Power to Judge the WorldBut he Jesus
remained silent and made no answer. Again the
high priest asked him, Are you the Christ, the
Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am, and
you will see the Son of Man seated at the right
hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of
heaven. And the high priest tore his garments
and said, What further witnesses do we need? You
have heard his blasphemy.(Mark 1461-64)
20
Far be it from you to do such a thing, to put
the righteous to death with the wicked, so that
the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that
from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do
what is just?(Genesis 1825)
21
The Power to Forgive SinsAnd when Jesus saw
their faith, he said to the paralytic, Son, your
sins are forgiven. Now some of the scribes were
sitting there, questioning in their hearts, Why
does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming!
Who can forgive sins but God alone?(Mark 2
5-7)
22
Who are sins against?For I acknowledge my
transgressions and my sin is ever before me.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done
this evil in thy sight, that thou mightest be
justified when thou speakest, and be clear when
thou judgest.(Psalm 513-4)
23
Christ Accepted WorshipThen he said to Thomas,
Put your finger here, and see my hands and put
out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not
disbelieve, but believe. Thomas answered him,
My Lord and my God!(John 2027-28)
24
Who alone is to be worshiped?And the devil took
him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the
world in a moment of time, and said to him, To
you I will give all this authority and their
glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I
give it to whom I will. If you, then, will
worship me, it will all be yours. And Jesus
answered him, It is written, You shall worship
the Lord your God, and him only shall you
serve.(Luke 45-8)
25
formThe Greek word morphe. It is the word
that refers to the full set of characteristics
which make something that which it is, as
contrasted with the word schema, which is the
external appearance, or façade, which does not
necessarily indicate the true nature of the
thing. (Millard J. Erickson, Making Sense of
the Trinity,, p. 20)
26
express imageTranslated from the Greek word
charakter. This is not merely similarity of
being, but qualitative identity.

Malachi 31Behold, I send my messenger, and he
will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom
you seek will suddenly come to his temple and
the messenger of the covenant in whom you
delight, behold, he is coming, says the LORD of
hosts.Malachi 45Behold, I will send you
Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome
day of the LORD comes.(Return)

What is a person?One who has the elements of
personality intellect, emotion, will.
  • The fundamental point behind the idea of a
    personal God is this God is able to enter into a
    personal relationship with us.
  • We dont relate to God in an abstract way, as if
    he was some diffuse cosmic force or moral
    principle but in a personal way.
  • Understanding the Trinity, Alister E. McGrath

30
  • If a theist is going to assert that their god is
    a person, it will be necessary for them to
    explain what, exactly, they mean by that word in
    this context. It cannot be assumed that they mean
    the same thing as whey they describe a human
    being as a person. Whether they do mean the
    same thing in both contexts or whether they only
    conceive of an analogous relationship between the
    two, they will also have to explain what
    implications this has for the nature of God and
    our relationship with it.
