Is Jesus God?
It is a simple question. However, it needs to be explained with more than a simple yes or no.
A strong clue to the answer can be found in the very first line of John:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The “Word” in this verse is Jesus. It is stating that from the very beginning, Jesus was with God and that he also was God. How can this be? How can both of these assertions be true?
We must turn to the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost). One of the better ways to understand the relationship between the Father and the Son is as follows: The Father is the Son, but the Son is not the Father. In other words, Jesus is God, but he is not the Father.
Muscle testing research supports this, as Jesus calibrates at 1000, while God calibrates at Infinity.
The story of the Burning Bush (Exodus 3:1-21) is also quite illuminating in this regard. An angel appears to Moses in a flame of fire in the middle of a bush. But then the narrative shifts to indicate that it is God who is speaking to Moses. The reason this divine figure is described as both an angel and God is that this divine figure is Christ (tests as true). Again, he is God but not the Father.
What this means is that Jesus was an angel before he descended from heaven to be born a human. There is evidence in the Bible to support this.
In Exodus 3:14:
God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’
Later, in John 8:58:
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” (John 8:58)
Jesus in the above verse is saying that he is the one who said, “I am” to Moses.
Muscle testing also confirms that Jesus was one of the three angels who appeared to Abraham at the oaks of Mamre in Genesis 18.
The idea of Jesus being an angel seems plausible given that angels calibrate at 500 and up, and Jesus calibrates at 1000. God calibrates at Infinity, which further supports the idea that Jesus is the Son but not the Father (or God but not the Father).
Jesus speaking to Moses as God makes even more sense when you consider Exodus 33:20, which states that no one can ever see God. And yet there are people throughout the Old Testament who do see God. How is this possible? It’s possible because they are not seeing God the Father, but God the Son.
This means that whenever God directly speaks to someone in the Old Testament, it is not the Father who is speaking, but the Son. It is Jesus who is speaking. This tests as true. (Strobel, 2007, pp. 216-217)
If this is indeed true, then it seems likely that the depiction of God in the Old Testament as an angry, jealous, vengeful deity is incorrect. For can anyone really believe that Jesus would talk the way that the God of the Old Testament talks? Quite simply, it is impossible.
So, going back to the original question: Is Jesus God? The answer is yes.
