We can agree to disagree on a lot of issues, however there are some things which are clearly irrefutable (meaning you cannot deny it). Using scripture (and not a denominational handbook or organizational doctrine) I want to share with the world that the Lord Jesus Christ is 100% Human and 100% God. He was not just the Son of God but He was and currently still is God Almighty. Matter of fact, “if” you get to heaven, you will on;y see just 1 God sitting on the throne. Jesus is the Name of that One God who manifested Himself through the titles (NOT PERSONS, NOT TRIUNE BEING, NOT Co-Equal PERSONS) Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Below you will find an awesome chart prepared by Bro. David Bernard which clearly depicts the God-Man Christ. Open your Bibles for yourself and see if it’s not true. Hebrews 11:6 requires you to believe on this precious truth. You can’t escape it. “…for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” That said, I’m here to help you understand by posting this chart. I want you to sit back and enjoy obeying 2 Timothy 2:15. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” I would like to end with this quote:
We can resolve most questions about the Godhead if we properly understand the dual nature of Jesus. When we read a statement about Jesus we must determine if it describes Jesus as a man or as God. Moreover, whenever Jesus speaks in Scripture we must determine whether He is speaking as man or as God. Whenever we see a description of two natures with respect to Jesus, we should not think of
two persons in the Godhead or of two Gods, but we should think of Spirit and flesh. (David K. Bernard)

3 | Was tempted by the devil | Luke 4:2 | Cast out devils | Matthew 12:28 |
4 | Hungered | Matthew 4:2 | Was the Bread of Life and miraculously fed multitudes | John 6:35; Mark 6:38-44, 52 |

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD. I AM APOSTOLIC AND I AM GLAD THAT ONE DAY SOMEONE CARED ENOUGH FOR MY SOUL TO SHOW ME THE TRUTH IN GODS WORD. WHEN YOU REALLY LOVE PEOPLE YOU TELL THEM THE TRUTH. SO MANY ARE PREACHING FALSE DOCTRINE IN OUR WORLD TODAY AND IT IS TRULY SAD BECAUSE MANY ARE LOST BECAUSE OF IT.
