Is Jesus Christ God Almighty? – The Gospel of Mark

Is Jesus Christ God Almighty? – The Gospel of Mark

What are these scriptures in the gospel Mark teaching — that he is God Almighty, and God the Son, or is he the Son of God, the Messiah, and the Son of Man? 

Mark 1:1 – “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ [the Son of God]” (NAB). “Some important manuscripts here omit the Son of God” (NAB note on Mark 1:1). One important point that we can glean from this is that no manuscripts of Mark 1:1 call Jesus ‘God,’ or ‘God the Son.’

Mark 1:9-11 –  “Jesus came fromNazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens torn open and the Spirit, like a dove descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, ‘You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased'” (NAB). In this scene, Jesus is in the water, and is obviously not the holy Spirit that came down upon him, or God, who is in heaven. read more

Does the Gospel of John Teach the Trinity Doctrine?

Does the Gospel of John Teach the Trinity Doctrine?

Revised January 9, 2023

The Bible itself is completely reliable and trustworthy (2 Timothy 3:16,17). It “actually is, the word of God” (1 Thessalonians 2:13 NIV).  However, there are some “false doctrines” (1 Timothy 1:3,4 NIV) taught by many religions, churches, and preachers as though they were “the truth” (John 17:17). We need to know whether the Trinity doctrine is one of these, or whether it is what these Bible scholars say it is:

“No doctrine is more fundamental to the Faith than the Trinity”—Dr Norman L Geisler read more

Is the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Almighty God?

Is the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Almighty God?

Shown below are some scriptures that are used to prove Jesus Christ is Almighty God. Let’s carefully examine these in the light of the scriptures.

Isaiah 9:6 – “Mighty God”. Notice that the scripture doesn’t call him “Almighty God”. It calls him “Mighty God”. Jesus is powerful, but not all-powerful. Almighty God told Moses, “See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh” (Exodus 7:1 NKJV). The verse also predicts: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given”. “Child” and “son”cannot apply to Almighty God because “God is spirit” (John 4:24), and “God is not human” (Numbers 23:19 NIV). read more

The Bible’s veracity or truth is confirmed again by Modern science

The Bible’s veracity or truth is confirmed again by Modern science in a recent article published on BBC, entitled: “Limit to human life may be 115 (ish).”

While we certainly don’t want to be dogmatic, since Genesis 6:3 could mean God was saying that he would flood the earth in 120 years from that point in time, the Bible and science and history combine to point out this recently discovered truth.

A look at the lifetimes of people in Genesis 5 tells us people were commonly living 700,800 and 900+ years prior to the flood (yes, these were literal solar years, like ours today). The demarcation point is the global flood, where God sets of new limit, saying: read more
