Is God one or three
Is Jesus God or part of God?
What do you think??
What is your answer??
Let us get the answer from the Bible:
One came and said unto him, Good Master, what good
Thing shall I do. That I may have eternal life? And he(Jesus)
Said unto him, why callest thou me good*? There is none good
But one, that is, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the
Commandments.
(Matthew 19:16-17)
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ ــــــ
*Why callest thou me good? Or in modern English " why do you call me good "we
Would not find this wording and meaning in some Bible! This text is found in king James
Version. Don`t take my word for it! Chick your Bible!
Several questions can be asked about the above verses. Some of the more intuitive ones are:
>"why do you call me good?" why did Jesus question his own goodness?
>Jesus emphatically stated that "there is none good but one, that is, God"
Why did he refer to the one God as the " good" one only?
>Why did he exclude himself from being good, if he were God?
>Jesus explicitly pointed out that " if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
Why didn`t Jesus command the questioner to believe in him (Jesus) as God in order
To enter into eternal life?
>Based on Jesus` testimony, Isn`t keeping the commandments enough for getting
Eternal life?
Now, let us re-read verses of Matthew (19:16-17) as stated in King James
Version and the same verses as reported in the New International Version
Of the HOLY BIBLE.
