Is Jesus God?

The Bible plainly teaches that “the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (Jn.1:1). The one Godhead refers to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God created the world (Gen. 1:1), but everything was created by Christ (Col. 1:13-16). In a sense, the Father and Son are one (a united one) (Jn. 10:30), but in another sense they are two Beings (Jn. 8:14-17). Jesus said “if you do not believe that I am (“He” is interpolated by translators), you will die in your sins” (Jn. 8:24). He said “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (Jn. 8:56; Ex. 3:14). Jesus is not “a god.” God said “Let Us (plural) make man in Our (plural) image” (Gen. 1:26); that included the Son who came to the earth as Immanuel – “God with us” (Mt. 1;23).
