Christians and Muslims both believe in Jesus, love him,
and honor him. They are, however, divided over the
question of his divinity. Fortunately, this difference can be
resolved if we refer the question to both the Bible and the
Qur'an, because, both the Bible and the Qur'an teach that
Jesus is not God.
It is clear enough to everyone that the Qur'an denies the
divinity of Jesus, so we do not need to spend much time
explaining that. On the other hand, many people
misunderstand the Bible; they feel that the beliefin Jesus
as God is so widespread that it must have come from the
Bible. In this and the next six messages, we will show
quite conclusively that the Bible does not teach that. The
Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is not God. In the Bible
God is always someone other than Jesus.
Some will say that something Jesus said or something he
did while on the earth proves that he Is God. We will
show that the disciples never came to the conclusion that
Jesus is God. And these are people who lived and walked

10 Is Jesus God?

with Jesus and thus knew first hand what he said and did.
Furthermore, we are told in the Acts ofthe Apostles in the
Bible that the Holy Spirit was guiding the disciples. If
Jesus is God, surely they should know it. But they did not.
They kept worshipping the one true God who was
worshipped by Abraham, Moses and Jesus (see Actsch. 3,
v.13).
All of the writers ofthe Bible believed that God was not
Jesus. The idea that Jesus is God did not become part of
Christian belief until after the Bible was written, and took
many centuries to become part ofthe faith ofChristians.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke, authors of the first three
Gospels, believed that Jesus was not God (see Mark 10:18;
Matthew 19:17 and Luke 18:19). They believed that he
was the son of God in the sense of a righteous person.
Many others too, are similarly called sons of God
(Matthew ch-23, vv. 1,9).
Paul, believed to be the author ofsome thirteen or fourteen
letters in the Bible, also believed that Jesus is not God.
For Paul, God first created Jesus, then used Jesus as the
agent by which to create the rest of creation (see
Colossians ch. 1, v. 15 and I Corinthians ch. 8, v. 6).
Similar ideas are found in the letter to the Hebrews, and
also in the Gospel and Letters of John composed some
seventy years after Jesus. In all of these writings,

Is Jesus God? 11

however, JesUS is still a creature of God and is therefore
forever subservient to God (see I Corinthiaris 15, v.28).
Now, because Paul, John, and the author of Hebrews
believed that Jesus was God's frrst creature, some of what
they wrote clearly show that Jesus was a pre-existent
powerful being. This is often misunderstood to mean that
he must have been God. But to say that Jesus was God is
to go against what these very authors wrote. Although
these authors had this later beliefthat Jesus is greater than
all creatures, they also believed that he was still lesser than
God. In fact, John quotes Jesus as saying: The Father is
greater than I (John ch. 14, v. 28). And Paul declares that
the head of every woman is her husband, the head of every
man is Christ, and the head ofChrist ifGod (I Corinthians
ch. 11, v. 3).
Therefore, to find something in these writings and claim
that these teach that Jesus is God is to misuse and
misquote what those authors are saying. What they wrote
must be understood in the context oftheir beliefthat Jesus
is a creature of God as they have already clearly said.
So, we see, then, that some ofthe later writers had a higher
view ofJesus, but none ofthe writers ofthe Bible believed
that Jesus is God. The Bible clearly teaches that there is
only one true God, the one whom Jesus worshipped (see
John c.l7 v. 3).

 This book affirms from the Bible that Jesus Christ is not God but a human.
