Is Jesus God?

Some say if the Father, Son and Spirit are Divine, we have three Gods. No, there is one Godhead (Col. 2:9), but three Divine Beings. There is one humanity, but many human beings. The word God is often plural (Gen. 1:1; Dt. 6:4), yet translated singular, indicating one Deity. The plural pronouns, “let US make man in OUR image” (Gen. 1:26), indicate plurality.

Jesus was “with God” and “was God” (Jn. 1:1) - a different person, but same in essence. They were two witnesses (Jn. 8:17,18), yet they were one (Jn. 10:30). Both statements are true; they were one Deity, but two Divine Beings. Thomas confessed Jesus as “My Lord, and my God” (Jn. 20:28). He was “God with us” (Mt. 1:23).
