My Grandson wants to know if Jesus is God? He also is bothered about having to work on the sabbath. He is really trying to understand God's word. I hope and pray you can help him with these questions.
Dear Martha, God is manifest in three persons, The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit. You are made in the image of God. Spirit Soul and Body. ( 1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.)
Just as you are three beings in one person, God is three persons in one God. Objects in this world have three dimensions. Water can be liquid, solid and gas. It is water. Light can be felt (infrared) seen( visible) and damaging to your skin or eyes(ultraviolet) It is all light.
Yes Jesus is God and has a special function in what is called the Godhead. Acts 17:29
I understand your son's reluctance to work on a day set aside to rest in God. Have him read Romans 14:1-12
Those who are" in Christ", have entered into his rest (sabbath). Jesus said come unto me and I will give thee rest.
Jesus is the sabbath for those who believe on Him for salvation.
Im assuming you are serious so Ill ask you a question... Have you ever talked to yourself? Who is talking and who is listening?
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Rom 1:20"
God is who he says HE IS, whether we understand it or not.
That is hard to accept because pride and human reasoning get in our way.
Read Pauls answer to another question that cannot be answered by our frame of reference.
" Rom 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?"
It's actually a good question from our point of reference. God asks us to believe, "That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God 1Cor 2:5". and "without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him Heb 11:6"
Understanding will be given to us if we are believe first.
By the way God does, has and always will agree with Himself. John 5:7-8. You will one day as well if you are saved.
May God bless his word and thank you for your sincerity.
Wow. You shall be in my prayers. You just stated the Father, the Son(Jesus Christ), and the Holy Ghost are confused? It is clear you do not believe the Scriptures and have your own carnal idea of God. Matthew 12:32, Matthew 12:36.
Also you do not believe, or understand, the words of Christ like John 10:30?
You know God says listen to His Son right? Matthew 17:5. Even further like the Angel of the LORD in the OT. Exodus 23:20-22.
Also to glorify the Son is to glorify the Father. As they are ONE. John 14:13-14. The only way to eternal life is through the Son of God. John 14:6. 1 John 5:11-13.
God is ONE. I pray the Lord leads you to leave your own beliefs behind and trust Him and His Word.
You seem to believe in the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Though you seem to doubt who the Lord is just like the Pharisees did. Bringing Him down to "just a man". Matthew 5:20.
Don't let what you're not concerned about upset you,
There's nothing constructive when it leads to hate, When the truth of the word is working in us it brings on fruit. A friendly debate can be helpful, but on character is on display here.
Let's not let disagreements consume us. God bless.
You are correct. What happened I don't know. As I hit reply to a comment made by Bob. Which I still have the screen to though that comment seems to have been removed even though there is no history to it that we usually see. I did notice this after I made the post and if an e-mail was sent to William hopefully, by the contents, he notes it was to Bob.
As I'm not going to argue with anyone about this. Especially who will not converse maturely. I have to back up our Lord. As you do also very well with other brothers and sisters in Christ on this site. It really saddens me to see what some people post.
Maybe just some questions I would have asked Bob if He knows so much about the Lord:
Who is the King, on the Throne, in Heaven?
Who are we to stand before on the day of Judgement?
Who is the Light?
Who is all powerful in Heaven and in Earth?
Who has the power to forgive sins?
Who is our Savior?
Who's Spirit resides in us after we are "born again"?
Who baptizes with the Holy Ghost?
Not that I expect an answer from him to any of these questions. Maybe it will hopefully just get him to read his Holy Bible more and I pray his eyes shall be opened to the truth.

Hope this helps.. God bless you richly.
Then if they always agree what's the need for 3 persons ?
It just don't add up !
You never answered my question from the last post.
Though you seem to have your own idea and don't think God can do anything He wants?
Again we use Scripture. It is truth. If you don't believe the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are ONE. You are just not believing Scripture.
Try not to think your earthly mind can understand the ways of the Lord. Isaiah 40:28, Isaiah 55:8-9.
God Bless.
