JESUS IS ABOVE ANGELS
Jesus possesses all the invisible perfections of the Father. He is the fullness of the personality of God; all the divine virtues of the Father are gathered in the splendid person of Jesus (Colossians 1:15-23). All the spirits were created according to the image of Jesus. Mankind and angels were created to the image and the likeness of the Son of God. Jesus is the perfection and the role model for all the spirits. Jesus came out the Father but the creation came out the Son: “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, He sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high” (Hebrews 1:3).
THE INTIMACY OF JESUS TO THE FATHER
The son of God knows the Father and the Father knows him; Jesus is in the Father and the Father is in him. Jesus knows fully the Father and the

A father is a person who begets children and takes care of them; he is also the founder of a family. When the Bible says that Jesus is the eternal Father, it means that he is the giver of eternal life. There is no life in anyone else except Jesus; he is the father of eternal life; he gives eternal life to whoever believes in his name. Jesus is the father of the eternal salvation: in him is life. Jesus is the father of all the believers; he is the founder of the Christian family. Jesus is the father of the creation; he is the creator of all things as he brought the creation into existence. All things come from him and belong to him. Jesus is the Lord of lords and the King of kings, ruling over everything (Revelation 17:14). He is the God of gods because he alone is worthy to receive all adoration (Deuteronomy 10:17). He is the Holy of holies, the perfection of righteousness. He is the Almighty God; nothing is impossible to him. He is the eternal and immortal God. He is also the Judge of judges because he has the last word; he has power to make the final
Apostle John makes it clear that one must be born again (1Joh 5:1). To know God is to know Him as Father as it is written in 1Joh 3:1 and Joh 1:12. We are His children and as His children, we receive special privileges and rights to be called the Sons of God. It is by His power and from His love that we were adopted into His family. It is by God’s love that we were drawn to Him.
He inspired his followers to write the bible. They also believe that God is in the form of Three Persons. It is called, “Trinity.” It basically means that God is a Spirit. God is supernaturally God.
The author used various devices to convey his view that Jesus had to be misunderstood for him to fulfill God’s plan. For starters, Mark’s use of apocalyptic devices was used in the beginning and ending of his Gospel. Other than condemning the Temple’s sacrificial system and the priest who controlled it, Mark had used other devices to indicate Jesus ministry is fundamentally an adverse judgement on the
Each part of the trinity reveals a truth. One cannot be whole without comprehending how each part of the trinity helps one come to find their identity. The Son helps restore the relationship that was broken during the fall and brings one, one step closer to repairing a relationship that was broken during the Fall. The Father is the one who establishes one’s purpose in life. While the Holy Spirit reveals one’s talents and abilities along with giving one’ fruits of the Spirit that helps them throughout life to achieve and identify their purpose.
God the Father is the good. He is also considered the Old One and Oyarsa the being that always was and is. It is said in Out of The Silent Planet, that the Old One and Oyarsa do not have a physical body. That he is really there and people believe he is there, just no physical features. “Oyarsa… New everything and ruled everyone; had always been there….”
Jesus and the holy spirit are just different forms of God. It is up to us how we see them. Our churches may have a certain image of them, but reading this book made me think it is up to ourselves how we see God, Jesus, and the holy spirit. It is easy for us to see Jesus as a handsome, tall, strong man, but he was not. He was just like us, his people.
The third Male Devine archetype is Savior and Sages. Jesus is the savior for the people of the worlds according to Christianity. He plays in a role designed by the father, God to save the world from sin and destruction. God is also feared and it is known that he can condemn people to hell in the Christianity faith. Individuals whom believe in God, the farther are frightened of him therefore, they aim to obey him and live out a sin free life.
From everlasting to everlasting, he is God (Psalm 90:2). There was never a time when he was not. Lucifer rebelled against Him and introduced evil and rebellion to the beautiful creation He made. And as the Omega, He will bring to complete finality the world of evil, and usher in a new beginning for a perfect world of righteousness. This is what the book of Revelation is all about.
Jesus Christ is a man who has baffled and transformed the new age with his life and legacy. The question arose if He is just a man? Many speculated that He was just a prophet who was profoundly inspired with scriptural revelation. The truth is that He actually is the Son of God and everything he did reflected that of the Father, the
Athanasius defended the Trinity, which is one of the biggest beliefs and a core element in Christian faith. The Trinity is the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, all three united as one. During the fourth century, Arius went around teaching that Jesus the Son was different in divinity to God the Father. He points out many Scriptures proving that Jesus is saying that the Father and Son are clearly different, showing that they
Jesus is also seen as the Word of God in which all this were created. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” John 1:1-3 (The Holy Bible: The New International Version, n.d.)
God of the sun, light, music, and prophecy. He is a son of Zeus. He is one of the most complex gods. Apollo is assorted with medicine, and healing. He killed a cyclops.
God: God is known in John by two ways, “the Father who sent” Jesus (5:37), and as “the Father of the Son” (5:17-23). In the gospel of John writing God, does not become the center of focus. The Jewish people already has strong ties and believes in God, however there was some debate whether the Jewish’s people believes that Jesus was the Messiah and or the Son of God. According to C. S. Lewis he made a statement about Jesus and John wholeheartedly agreed with, Lewis wrote “Jesus is lunatic, liar, or Lord”. The Messiah: John speaking about the Messiah is to prove that Jesus is the Messiah, and the Son of God (20:30-31).
JESUS AND HIS FATHER The key to the Trinitarian doctrine is the Father-Son relationship. In Christian theology, God is symbolised as a divine Father primarily because Christ is symbolised as the divine Son. Not the other way around. The Gospel of Mark describes Jesus as the Son of man and the Son of God.
As stated before, within Catholic Christianity, Jesus Christ is known to be the Son of God. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that, “The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins” (5). This proves that Jesus Christ is God himself in the form of his Son, who was born to save
