Is Jesus God?

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge (rejected the word of God), I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (commandments of God), I will also forget thy children.

Israel was a type of the Church and we're having the same problem today.

Rom 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

Rom 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge (not according to the word of God).

Rom 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God (the word of God).

So was Jesus God according to the word of God?

Matt 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God (not God but the Son of God).

Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man (a man) approved of God (not God approved of himself) among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him (Jesus) in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

So you can see Jesus is the Son of God a man approved of God. This man God was working through, God was not Jesus the bible don't teach that.

Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man (Jesus) came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days (God), and they brought him (Jesus) near before him (God).

Daniel 7:14 And there was given him (Jesus) dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth (not that he's God, but the power was given to him by God).

2Cor 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation (revealed) of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God (in the present of God).

2Cor 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

Who are the lost?  those that reject the word of God.

Jer 5:1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth (really looking for word of God); and I will pardon it.

Jer 5:2 And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely (they really don't believe in God or his word).

Jer 5:3 O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved (they have not repented); thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction (when a clear understanding of the word of God, is put before them they want receive it or change): they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

 Jer 5:4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.

Why do people reject the word of God?

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God (Acts 2:38).

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light (the knowledge of Christ) is come into the world, and men loved darkness (ignorance) rather than light (the knowledge of God), because their deeds (actions) were evil.

John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light (the knowledge of God), neither cometh to the light (the knowledge of Christ), lest his deeds (actions) should be reproved (discover or revealed to them).

John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light (the knowledge of Christ), that his deeds (actions) may be made manifest (revealed), that they are wrought in God (that God is working on them, God is changing them from that former mind set).

Satan has blind the mind of many by twist the word of God, and making people feel their not accordable to God.  While all the time God is looking at their inward crookedness

2Cor 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

2Cor 4:4 In whom the god (Satan) of this world hath blinded (closed) the minds of them which believe not, lest the light (the knowledge) of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine (be revealed) unto them.

Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him (God) that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert (corrupt) the gospel of Christ.

Gal 1:8 But though we (apostles), or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we (apostles) have preached unto you, let him be accursed (let him be cursed and separate yourself from them).

Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed (let him be cursed and separate yourself from them).

Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

2Thess 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves (separate yourselves) from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us (apostles).

This from those who reject the apostle teaching

John 17:17 Sanctify (set them apart) them (Apostles) through thy truth (the word of God): thy word is truth.

John 17:18 As thou hast sent me (Jesus) into the world, even so have I (Jesus) also sent them (apostles) into the world.

So now you know Jesus sent them into the world preaching the gospel,  like God sent Jesus to preach the gospel. If we don't believe what the Scriptures said about Jesus, we are deceive or have being deceived.

1John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God (not that he's God), God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

1John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

1John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son (Jesus is the Son of God), the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son (Jesus is the Son of God) hath the Father also.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son (Jesus is the Son of God a man) shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
