WHICH IS YOUR JESUS ?
“He was in the world, and
the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his
own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave
he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of
the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.” (John 1:10-14 KJV)
“And
to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the
beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus
Christ:” (Ephesians 3:9 KJV)
“Who
is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him
were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him, and for him:” (Colossians 1:15-16 KJV)
According to the
Authorized King James Version of the Scriptures we read that Jesus is God and
is the creator of all things. Now let’s look at what the New King James Version
of the scripture says in these same verses.
“He was in the world, and the world was
made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and
His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave
the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of
man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld
His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and
truth.” (John 1:10-14 NKJV)
“and
to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning
of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus
Christ;” (Ephesians 3:9 NKJV)
“He
is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are
in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and
for Him.” (Colossians 1:15-16 NKJV)
Here we see that things
were not made by Him, rather they were made through Him. This means that Jesus
was a medium used by a higher power for the purpose of creation. So then Jesus
is not God, but rather some agent of God. Notice that this is born out in more
than a couple places. John 14:6; Acts 2:22; Ro 3:22; 5:10-12, 18, 21; 8:11;
1Cor 2:10, and many others.
From
the above, we learn that the Jesus of the AV, KJV is God, and that from the New
KJV Jesus is simply some kind of agent of a higher power that we shall call
God. Either Jesus is the creator or He
is not. Is Jesus the great “I AM” and
if so how can we ever proclaim otherwise?
Satan
is the enemy that weakens the church as well as our faith. Let us worship and
serve the true Jesus as proclaimed in the still unaltered, higher standard,
word of God, the KJV Holy Bible. How
does your Bible compare?
