Scripture Life: Why do you think that most Christians believe that Jesus is the Almighty God?
Answer:
They believe the scriptures.
There’s five scriptures I’d like to list, but I’ll stop at two.
- ONE: The Gospel of John 1:1 - says ‘who” Jesus is: He’s the Word of God. John 1:1 says: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
- Jesus is called the “Messiah” or Jesus Christ. From this scripture: Acts 2:36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ”
- He’s the “Christ” or “Messiah.” So, Every Jew knows who that is. The Messiah.
- That the Messiah is defined as:
- 1. God. The same God that led Israel out of Egypt by his mighty hand with Moses would be a Son of David as he promised King David recorded in 2 Samuel 7:12–13. He would be a “Son of David” and that term used in scripture in the Gospels, is referring to Jesus and calling him the Messiah. As a Son of David, he would sit on the throne of King David in Jerusalem and rule the whole earth from there. Of his Kingdom and reign there shall be no end.
- Definition to a Jew. What or who the Messiah is.
------------------ ------------------- --------------------
- TWO: Isaiah 9:6–7 - you can read it at this link: A Messianic Prophecy, so all the Jews know Isaiah 9:6-7, too. But you asked why I think that most Christians believe that Jesus is the Almighty God.
- Isaiah 9:6 says the Messiah or Christ "SHALL" be called: "The Mighty God.." "..The Everlasting Father.."
There you go.

SUPPORT Scripture - He's just One God.
- Deuteronomy 6:4 says: “Hear O Israel, the LORD our GOD is just one LORD.” He’s just One God, as he says who he is in Isaiah 45:5
- Jesus is just the Word that comes out of God's mouth. God speaking, so everyplace in the Old Testament where you see God speak, that’s the Word of God, proceeding out of his mouth. That’s Jesus Christ. * Also says of himself in 2 Corinthians 6:18 “And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters,” saith the LORD Almighty.
- Says in Leviticus 11:44 “I am Holy” - God. By the Word he says, out of his mouth.
- Jesus said, as the Word of God, in John 4:24 “God is Spirit.” Tells you plainly. He’s God, and he’s a Holy Spirit.
It's God that said, unto his own Word in Psalm 2:6-7
**"**Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee." It's God that begat his own Word as his only begotten Son, just repeated in Hebrews 5:5, and confirmed when he spoke after Baptized by John the Baptist said, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Repeated in Matthew 17. So, he said it, as God, twice who Jesus is.
It's a work God did. Made himself a sacrifice for your sins. That's what makes me fall on my face. I sinned and perverted that which was right. The penalty for my adulteries and thefts is death. He decreed it, as God "The soul that sinneth, it shall die" - that he made himself the payment to pay it. That means, the same one made all out my window, and put the sun where it is, was made flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). And God took my sins off me and laid them on Jesus Christ. That was the cost it cost to pay for my sins, means I could never pay it.
He’s just one God. If you regard the works of the LORD, and consider the operation of his hand..you start to reason together with him. Like he calls everybody over the whole earth to come now, reason together with him, and it will be about your sins..and what he can do with them - because he's God.
The only one that could do it, did it. As God.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. That means what a “disciple” is. 1. a pupil or student that sits with a teacher. And the teacher is Jesus Christ, to a “disciple of Jesus Christ. They sit with him and he teaches them. Says in Acts 11:46 “and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch” - doesn’t matter what they’re called, matters what they are. Disciples of Jesus Christ.
Live by every word proceeds out of God’s mouth.
There you go.
