Did God Lie?
God and his son who stand for the Truth, the whole time pretending something different to all those that believe in him? He said that God was his Father. He said that God taught him everything that he knew. He said that he only did what his Father told him to do and spoke only the things that his Father told him to say. He said that his Father gave him all power and authority over all things. He said he came from his Father and would return to His Father.
Alright, now don’t they take this thing a little too far if they mean that Jesus is really God, but now he’s sitting at the right hand of his Father? Now if Jesus is really God, and he’s sitting at the right hand of… God? That’s really strange. He’s sitting at the right hand of… himself?

This was a very fitting metaphorical title to apply to Jesus. Jesus is called the Word of God. Literally speaking, the Words of God are the words spoken by God, that proceed from the mouth of God. Being a metaphor, what Jesus has in common with the the Word is that he learned the Word of God from his Father; he came to earth with a message that was the Word that he brought from His Father; he lived the Word of God; he taught the Word of God and risked his life for the Word of God.
The phrase, “Jesus is the Word of God” is obviously not literal. It is used as a metaphor because of what he was, who he was, and what he did. Jesus and his Father are not one and the same. Continue reading →
