Jesus is STILL equal to God. Jesus is STILL God.
John 1:1-3
"In the beginning was the Word ( Jesus ), and the Word ( Jesus ) was with God, and the Word (Jesus ) was God.The same (Jesus ) was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him ( Jesus ); and without him ( Jesus )was not any thing made that was made."
John. 1:5
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. ( This is for unbelievers who do not believe that Jesus is God do not comprehend it. )
1 John 1:1-2
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life ( Jesus ) ;(For the life ( Jesus )was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us; ( Like I mentioned about MY experience Him, I've seen His Lights and I understood Him ).
John. 1:5
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. ( Same as John 1:5 )
Ephesians 5:13
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
For some of you who may not understand the scriptures, it means that some of you need to read the bible from Genesis to Revelation faithfully and pray daily - ask God to help you to SEE His Lights humbly. Open your heart with all of your mind, soul and yourself to Him daily and He will open your eyes one day, if you show Him how faithful you are to Him. And, also ask God to forgive you for sins everyday - no headgames with God. Just talk to Him like you would talk to me and everyone here. When you did all these things as I suggest to experience Him yourself, then you will recognize who Jesus is later ...when it comes to you, then you will read your own posts and say somethin' different than what your posts say. It shows you're a new person with new heart, mind, and soul ( born again ).
It's not very hard to understand. I am not tryin' to shove anythin' down in your throat, but just simply suggest to TRY HIM by experience HIM yourself. That's all. It's always your choice and free will.
