The real essence, nature, spirit and purpose of Jesus have been debated among scholars, misunderstood among preachers, and confusing to the faithful. Some believe that the LORD GOD Himself came down from Heaven and inserted His complete self into flesh. Others believe that a portion of the LORD GOD, a portion of Jesus Christ, and a portion of the Holy Spirit join together to make a complete LORD GOD. Many believe that Jesus is God and the LORD GOD is a greater God. In a manner of speaking, these schools of thought are correct to a point, and most of these beliefs are harmless to the Faithful and do not prevent them from growing to the places that God Wills.

The defining answer centers around one verse in the Bible...

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” (John 1:1-4 AV)

Jesus Christ is the Word of God. When the holy, all powerful, all knowing LORD GOD spoke His Will at the start of His Creation, Jesus Christ was begotten. As a result, he received the essence of His Father, which was imputed throughout his being.

Jesus was with His Father at the creation of this world, and assisted in all things created. He is greatly loved by the LORD GOD, and His Glory shined brightly throughout the Heavens as he accomplished the Things of God.

To establish these Things, in the order and pattern that God had planned from the start, Jesus Christ was given human form in order that he might die, and through his experience and conquering of death through glorious resurrection, bring God's people salvation and redemption and life eternal.

As a result of Jesus Christ's dedicated walk and faithful accomplishment of every task given to him by His Father, He was given even greater authority and responsibilities following his Resurrection. Jesus now sits at the right hand of his Father in Heaven, and welds His power of Judgment, which will be executed completely and fully in the great Day of Judgment to come.

He has the essence and the power of the LORD GOD, and is glorified as well. Though he is not the LORD GOD in completeness, he completes the LORD GOD, and has been given the Things of God to accomplish His Will. His power and existence is derived from the LORD GOD, and without the LORD GOD, he would not exist. Without Jesus Christ, we would not exist.

On a personal note...Jesus Christ is my Savior, my King, my Priest, my Lord, my Intercessor, and my Love. It is only on the personal level that one can understand and know the deep things of his existence and there is only one place you can learn about him...

The Word of God, which is not only the Holy Bible, but the Holy Essence of Jesus Christ as well.

Just as the LORD GOD spoke and Christ was begotten, the Word of God is Jesus Christ. When you read the Word, you are reading Jesus, learning of Him from the same essence that created Him. It is that Holy Word of God that truly reflects and explains the completeness of Jesus Christ...an impossible task by mere man's words, but accomplished completely through His!

  • Ted Haggard and How Evangelical Politics Helped End His Preaching Career - By: Les Herron
    When the reports of Pastor Ted Haggard's potential sexual downfall were first shouted from the rooftops of the mainstream media his religious friends (and others) pointed fingers at what was certainly political motivation.And politics were certainly a part of the why's and how's of Haggard's downfall but probably not in the way we first thought.To be evangelical and/or charismatic we must be aligned with a specific political party and vote a certain way on each 'important' issue', with importance being defined by someone in a ministry typically located outside of a local church ministry (para-church ministry).
  • Does the Qu'ran Command Endless War - By: Ray McIntyre
    After the tragedies of the 11th of September 2001 and the invasion of Iraq many people are arguing that the Qu'ran and Islam itself teaches that a state of endless war exists between Muslims and 'Infidels' (who are usually defined by these folk as being Christians and Jews.)In support of their arguments they pull quotes from the Qu'ran which seem to support their position, but do they really?In this article I want to show the deceitful way in which these folk argue, either out of ignorace on their part or from a desire to stir up hatred against folk.
