Jesus is... God | Ep. 126

We navigate the sacred relationship between God the Father and Jesus Christ. Like blood cells that bring life-sustaining oxygen to our bodies, the revelations in this episode will breathe new understanding into your faith. Prepare to connect the dots between scripture verses as we dissect Jesus' identity as the image of the invisible God and the firstborn over all creation. Uncover the biblical narrative that paints Jesus as the embodiment of God's fullness, inviting us to know Him more intimately than ever before.

The term "Godhead" might seem unrelatable, but we're unpacking that word, diving into the Greek origins that enrich our understanding of this strange word. We contend with the nuances of theios, theiotēs, and theotēs, analyzing their distinctions in understanding God the Father in relation to Jesus. This episode is not just a lesson in theology; it's a quest to reconcile translation variances within the scriptures and to grasp the true nature of God's Spirit as indivisible from Jesus, as outlined in His Word.

In a world where religious perspectives vary greatly, our discussion boldly affirms the deity of Jesus through the scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments. We delve into the powerful declarations of God's singular sovereignty, as echoed from Isaiah through to Jesus' profound assertion of His identity. This isn't just another Bible study; it's a profound acknowledgment of Jesus at the heart of true biblical faith, a thrilling and essential affirmation for believers. Join us as we further understand why we proclaim the revelation that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh, the bedrock and cornerstone of our faith.

The vision received was that of blood cells traveling throughout the body, supplying the much needed oxygen and other nutrients to the differing members of the body to fulfill their purpose. Once the blood cells are spent, they must return back to the heart to be refilled before being sent out again and fulfill their purpose.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 0:26

Good morning everyone. Good morning, Good to be before you in the presence of the Lord again. Yes, today I'd like to do what I put my ideas to do, what I need to do here in a very simple manner. I want to ask you if you have if you have notes or if you have something to write on.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 0:52

I really want you to be writing and taking this down to scriptures, because I guess what I want to do is share with you some connections of some scriptures to help us understand the relationship between the Father and the Son or between God and Jesus. I want to go over the relationship between Jesus Christ and his relationship to God. I've looked at, I've actually tackled this question and I've shared it with you at earlier times and I focused on let's just look at what the apostles thought of Jesus. We started looking at all of their confessions of who the identity of this Jesus was to them. That's one perspective to get an idea of who this man, Jesus Christ, is.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 1:48

There are some things that, if you look at it carnally, if you look at it just in the natural, it confuses you because when you think of a family and you think of a father and his sons or I'm a father and my sons and he's a father and his son, you automatically think that there's two, there's two or more people. There's a distinction between the father and the son. Some came from the other, but they're different.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 2:20

Yet when we read in the scriptures of the Father and the Son, we keep thinking well, how do we coincide those two ideas? When Jesus is speaking himself as the Son of man and the Son of God and he talks about the Father and there seems to be a separation or a distinction of the two. He's sort of kind of getting befuddled and we're like but He's one, but He's one. The scriptures declare that He is one. As a matter of fact, there is a scripture in Malachi, chapter 2, verse 10, and it asks a rhetorical question in the Old Covenant. It's talking to the Israelites. They're in different kinds of sins and he's beseeching them and he's saying don't we all have just one Father? Don't we all have just one God that created us? And by that one simple rhetorical statement it wasn't asking for any response, because he was talking to people that knew that there was only one God and that one God was the God that created them because of Adam and Eve and the lines all the way through, and that one God was the Father of all. There was none other. There was none like Him, there was none beside Him.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 3:38

We can go through Isaiah and talk about. You know, there was only one God, there was one Father, there's only one that created all of these things and all of these things are for him, and there's not another beside him. There's only one seated upon the throne. We can go through all those, but I only address this scripture because he's talking to a people that already understand there is only one God and He is the Father. But then when we look at Jesus during the days of his flesh, he said some peculiar things and he distinguished himself from the Father and he would say things like in John 14, verse 10, believe is thou not that I am in the Father and the Father?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 4:20

is in me.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 4:22

He said the words that I speak unto you. I speak not of myself, but the Father that dwell in me. He doeth the works Now, without any kind of new covenant revelation. What does that mean? The Father is in me and I am in the Father. If we don't have any new covenant revelation, that kind of bonds us. Because I didn't know that's true, because even the people that listened to him in the days of his flesh were perplexed.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 4:55

They didn't understand what he was saying. So what I want to do is I go through all these scriptures and let all these scriptures speak and let them help us come to a conclusion of what he's saying, because he says it in several ways, many different ways, and it only leads us to one conclusion. And just to give you an idea, he says I am in the Father and the Father in me. Paul said this of Jesus in 2 Corinthians 5:19. He says to wait that God was in Christ. Now we can go over the rest of it. We've seen that song.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 5:36

But I want to focus on God was in Christ. It's very simple. You may not understand how that's the case, but it's simple God was in Christ. Who is Christ? This Messiah, this man that was named Jesus? Well, that in that man was God. Not only does Paul say God was in Christ. Very clearly Jesus said that of himself the Father is in me. You may not understand how that is or what that means, but it's very clear the Father is in him. And then you may not understand how is he in the Father? Well, let's go through some more scriptures. But Jesus clearly says the Father dwells in me, the Father lives in me, he inhabits in me. And then we read another thing that Jesus said. That was kind of peculiar. He said in John 13, verse 31,. It said that, therefore, when he was gone out, jesus says now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 6:48

And I title it at the top because there's some scriptures that say the Father, who is God we've already said God, in the Father's synonymous terms, is glorified in the Son. Now, right now I may not completely understand what that means if I don't have any new covenant revelation. The Spirit has not illuminated to me what exactly that means. I really don't have an understanding, but I'm trying to build up some examples of things that Jesus said of himself and his relationship to the Father. That leads us to only one conclusion. He says in the next chapter, in John, chapter 14, verse 13, that whatsoever you ask in my name that I'm going to do, I'm going to do it because the Father I want the Father may be glorified in the Son. It was God's intent from the foundation of the world that he would bring forth a Son named Jesus, and that Son named Jesus he was intending to glorify himself in him. Now, was that just simply because he's dwelling in him, or did it include the things that he said?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 7:55

Did it include the?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 7:56

things that he did? Did it include the miraculous conception that came about him that the Father may be glorified in the Son? It is the intent of God to be glorified in him. From those two scriptures, jesus is speaking this, but we also read of another description that the Father is manifest in the Son.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 8:23

Now we all know the Son's name is Jesus. It was this man, Jesus, that walked about the earth for almost 33 and a half years before he was crucified. But Paul says to Timothy, and we sing this song without controversy Great is the mystery of godliness. That is, God was manifest in the flesh. Manifest is revealed or unfolded, like when a scroll is all rolled up. Well, you don't know what's in the scroll, but once you unfold it and open it up, then you get to read what's in it. Well, he manifested, he revealed, he unfolded this invisible God. And I didn't bring up the scriptures, but you can look at it for yourself. But it clearly says that God is invisible, he cannot be seen, lest he reveal himself. But God cannot be seen yet we have the Son that can't be seen. And so there's a distinction right now, because the Father, we know, is invisible, he can't be seen, but the Son can. And it says here that God the invisible was revealed in the visible, the flesh in the Son.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 9:37

There's other scriptures that says the Father's image is the Son. It says in Colossians 1.15,. Actually we can turn there. Someone please read the Colossians 1, maybe starting in verse 13 or 14. Because if I show you the scripture, I want you to have a content of who it was talking about when it says who is the image of the invisible God. Can someone read Colossians 1, verse 13, 14, and then go into 15.?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 10:09

Who.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 10:10

What is the subject? Who is he talking about?

Sis. Katy Leyva: 10:15

In looming a redemption. Through his blood, he gives the forgiveness of sins, who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. Provide him all things created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or minions, or principalities or powers. All things will be created by him, and for him.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 10:38

Who is this him in the subject of the verse? I don't know if it was in verse 13, because I think he started at 14. Possibly Is there something that he refers to in the context? Anybody, look at the context of the scripture. Is it talking about God there? Who is this in him? In the sun, in the sun? Okay.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 10:56

So we're talking about again Christ, or talking about again the Messiah, the Son Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God. The invisible God, his image, his impression, is being shown, is being manifested and revealed through the Son Jesus. Now we're reading also in whom the God of this world has blinded the minds of men which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God. Again, I'm trying to give you these scriptures because I this is how I study and I know, Bishop, and I kind of really impress upon you guys, that when you get scriptures that are connected, you want to make your own concordance. You can buy bibles where there are concordances and some of them are very, very good and some of them are biased, based upon the perspective of the person that was giving that concordance or that commentary, but you need to make your own concordances.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 12:07

You need to make your own connections so that when you share with others, if you take them to one verse, you have next to that verse all the other verses that it's connected to and you could help someone just follow along about this idea, such as I'm doing with you. So I'm kind of modeling that for you so that you can feel comfortable with sharing with others, because if you have nothing, written there.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 12:28

More than likely you're not going to learn along these other verses. I will be the first to tell you I will not. I have to write it down. That's just my learning style.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 12:37

In nature, I have to connect these verses and I have to write so. It says Christ is the image of the invisible God. And then there's another interesting little speech. It says the Father's fullness dwells in the Son. You may not understand what that means, but it says in Colossians 2: 9 that in him, meaning Jesus, meaning the Christ, dwells all the fullness, whatever that exactly means. All the fullness, all that makes God God, whatever that is, dwells in him. It uses the word Godhead and I'm going to touch upon Godhead at the end. It's an interesting translation word. It's only used three times in the scripture, but we'll get back to that later. But in him, in Jesus, dwells all the fullness of God, the word. He was Godhead, but in a body of flesh dwelt all the fullness of God, whatever means God. God was in this body, in this man, Jesus Christ. So, using all of those scriptures, I now come to some other interesting things Jesus said about himself and his relationship with the Father.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 14:05

There's a scripture that helps us understand that if you know the Son, you automatically know the Father. In John 8: 19, they said to them where is thy father? They were questioning his fatherhood because they said you are, you know you're the son of Joseph. You know you were a bastard, you were, you were bred out of wedlock, you were born and Jesus said you don't know me, nor do you know my Father, because if you had known me, you would have known my Father also. So if you know Jesus, then you do know God. Remember God and Father of synonomous. That's interesting to know because if I said of myself hey, you guys know me, you know my dad who lives next door to you, that's not true, that's literally, but that's not true. If you know me, hopefully I'm very different from my father in very interesting, important aspects, although I do have similarities. But I don't think that if you knew me, I could say, oh, yeah, you know my dad. But he said you know me the visible then you will know my father, the invisible.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 15:19

Jesus said something about. If you see me, then you will see the father. In John 14:9, Jesus said to him have I been so long time with you yet thou has not known me, Philip, he that has seen me have seen the Father. To see Jesus is to see the invisible God, the invisible Father. How do you say that show us the Father? After so many years of walking with me, Philip, how can you ask me to show you the Father? Don't you understand, If you've seen me, you've seen the father. Again,

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 16:02

He was talking to a people that really didn't understand what he was saying. They had not understand, for if they had understand stood, they would understand. Jesus is... And you come to the conclusion. But he see, he see, still talking with people that don't get, they don't get who the identity of the man, Jesus Christ, is. Jesus also said, in John 12:44, He cried out and said he that believeth on me, believeth on Him. That said me, believe it on Jesus, automatically defaults to you actually believe it. Now Jesus did say let me qualify that. Jesus said you must believe on me as what, as the scriptures have said, a lot of people out there that believe in Jesus and they still don't believe in the Father because they're not believing on Him as the scriptures have said. In other words, they're not believing on him according to the word.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 17:14

You must believe on him according to the word, not according to your denomination, not according to your organization, not according to the bylaws of the of what statements of faith and creeds that you've come up with over the years and over the century. You must believe on me, as the scriptures have said, and if you believe on me, then you believe in the Father. Jesus said, interestingly, if you receive me, he said in John 13"20, to receive the Son is to receive the Father. In John 1320. It's verily, verily. I say it to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me. And he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 18:02

And Jesus confessed many, many times my father sent me. I am sent in my father's name. So if we receive the Son Jesus, then we automatically receive the invisible God. He also says something in the negatory. In 1 John 2:22, the beloved apostle, the one who rested his head on Jesus' bosom, the disciple whom Jesus loved, said who is a liar? But he that deny it that Jesus is the Christ, Jesus is the Messiah, he is the anti-Christ that denieth what the Father and the Son, he denieth the Father denieth the Son. But in contrast, he says in the very next verse he that acknowledges the Son have the Father also. So we see here that Jesus has been made by the Father, the cross. It makes sense why Jesus said I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life. No man cometh un to the Father but by me, in other words through me, you can't bypass me but if you come to me, then you have the Father.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 19:51

If you accept me, then you've accepted the Father.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 19:53

If you believe me, then you're believing in the Father. All of these are necessary to understand why Jesus is saying what he is saying, because it is still a paradox to this day, so many of the things that Jesus declared and listening to different religions. They don't tell you what Jesus said of himself. Islam does not say what Jesus said of himself. But you know what, if you read the scriptures and you just stick to the scriptures, whom was the Jew saying that he was saying he was saying because they accused him of blasphemy? They said that he made himself. They knew exactly what he was talking about and Bishop brought this point to me and I have always held fast to this. Jesus never corrected them when they said whatever it is that they thought He was saying, they never said whoa, you know what? That's not what I meant. I'm sorry you got that wrong. They never corrected it.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 21:05

That's incredibly important to understand because if they did not understand him, He would obviously clarify. He would obviously make them, help them understand what He actually said, what He actually meant. Did he not do that with the parables? Did they not come to him private and say what are you talking about with the parable? What do you mean by the soul. What was all that about? And then he then clarified what all that meant.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 21:29

So why would he not trying to reach people? Because we know Jesus was not sent to condemn the world, but that through Him the world might be saved. If they were not believing Him correctly, would He not then correct their belief? Would He not then correct their understanding? What kind of teacher is trying to teach you a subject matter and knowing that you're not understanding the subject by the way you're repeating it to him, is just going to leave you there and then misunderstand? Not one teacher would have reduced it to being, if they were a quality and effective teacher, and neither would God. If you believe the lie about God, God, in his love for you, is going to correct your understanding. And so there we have Jesus never, ever correcting whatever it was that they were saying he said or believed about. So we come to a conclusion. Reading all of those verses.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 22:31

I conclude that the Son is the Father. I don't know how else to understand those verses other than to conclude that, even though I don't understand how that is, again without any new covenant, understanding or revelation, I must come to the conclusion that the Son is the Father although I don't understand how.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 23:00

But being that I like to study the Word. I know in the Old Testament that he said something very particular about the Son. In Isaiah 9, verse 6. It prophesied of this Messiah that was to come, and it said of this Messiah that unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the everlasting.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 23:38

Father the Prince of Peace. I may not understand how that is, but it is clearly declared by the Word. And if Jesus said you must believe on me, as the Scriptures have said and these Scriptures are talking about my birth and they're saying that I shall be called the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, then I have to come to that conclusion that the sun actually is the father although I don't understand that.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 24:16

Now I come to that word that I told you about earlier Godhead. Godhead is a word that is used only three times in the King James Version translation of the Bible, and the interesting thing is and this is one of my things about translations is sometimes translations are inconsistent with their own selves, and this is one of those cases. There are three different Greek words used for the English translated word Godhead. There's three different ones. The first one is theos. That's how it's spelled, that's how it's pronounced, and when that word was used one time or a couple times, the KJV translators used the word Godhead. But then there's another Greek word, theotase. I believe that's how it's pronounced, if I'm sticking to my phonics correctly. Theotase is another Greek word that the KJV translators used, the word Godhead. And then there's a third word in the Greek, the, or theotase.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 25:47

I think, it's theotase, and that word was translated Godhead, and so each of those Greek words have a different quality about itself that makes it a little bit different one from the other, even though some of them are very connected and very similar. So let's look at the first time that Godhead is used, in Acts 17:29. For as much, then, as we are the offspring of God, we ought to not think that the Godhead is likened to gold or silver or stone graven by art and man's devices. You may remember this as Paul, on Mars Hill, speaking to the Greeks and talking about all of their statues representing different gods, and he's telling them you have all these statues here, but the Godhead, that's the word the KJV translators used. We're going to get to the actual word meaning. The Godhead is not like gold and silver or stone, like all these graven arts and man's devices. The Godhead is not like that.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 26:52

Well, that word was, like I said before, theos, and it's an adjective. It means divine. It comes from the word theos, which, in the Greek, is God, and so when we read that again, let's use the word the divine, not to think that the divine is likened to gold or silver or stone graven by art and man's devices, the divine. But the divine is not God. The divine is things that come from God. So let's look at where this word theos was used again, because it's also used in 2nd Peter 1, 3 and 4. And look at the context of these words. According as his divine power. Now remember, see that word divine abolded divine. It was the same Greek word, but here the KGB translators used the word divine, whereas before they used the word Godhead. Why did they choose that? I don't know, but they choose to use a different English word.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 28:01

So, according as his divine power, have given it to us all things that pertain to life and Godness through the knowledge of him that had called us to glory and virtue, whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises that by these he might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through us. So this word that was translated, godhead in Acts 1729. But the actual word just simply means divine. This word divine is used of the power of God, but it's also used of his nature, the divine. Each of these places it's something that proceeds out of God or emanates out of God, his power his nature, but that doesn't mean God like deity.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 28:55

God, it's something that emanates from him, like his characteristics of love and power and uniqueness and temperance. These are things that emanate from God. Now, that second word is the second time Godhead is used. It's in Romans 1-20. It says 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 there's that word, godhead.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 29:36

So that they are without excuse. Now, this is that second Greek word that I showed you, which is pronounced theotase. It comes from the word that I just spoke about, theos, and that word was divine. So this word, coming from the other word that meant divine, is divinity. So if we read it again, even his eternal power and divinity, so that they are without excuse. So this has to do with his divinity, not literally being God, but the things that emanate from him. And then these two Greek words have got to be distinguished from the third one.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 30:26

And the third time that Godhead is used is in Scripture that we read of previous. Paul wrote in Colossians 2-9. For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead body. Now, this is the word that hoates Different Greek word, and this refers to deity, in other words God. That's why this verse, when we say for in him, in Jesus, dwells all the fullness of it, should have just said God or deity, whatever it is that it makes God God. It was in Jesus In all its fullness, with nothing held back. Because in John 3 it says anybody know what it says in John 3 about something being in Jesus? Can you find it? I know where it is it's in John 3. It's in 334. Exactly what does it say? About something about Jesus and somebody to be in it anybody. So the scripture you have, it was written out of the scripture I was trying to get it to you, oh, but that's the game Anybody.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 31:42

just read it out loud.

Sis. Katy Leyva: 31:44

For he whom God was sent speak at the words of God, for God, give it, not the spirit by measuring to him.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 31:52

That's another way to put it. God gave the spirit. Is the spirit different than God? The promise? No, who was hovering over the surface of the waters. The spirit of God, is that different from the Father?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 32:06

Who was creating the?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 32:07

world, the spirit of God. Yet we know that God was the father of all creation. So the Spirit was in him, without measure, without holding back. So this goes right in line with what's being said here. In him dwelleth all the fullness of God. Everything that makes God God was in him. His omniscience, his omnipotence, his omnipresent, all of that was in him. So this word is the state of being God, indeed. So to help us put this all together, let's contrast what I've kind of just explained.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 32:53

You have these two words in the Greek One means divide, the other is referring to divinity. They're these two great words. But these two words refer to his attributes, his characteristics, his power, his nature, and those come from those scriptures Acts 17, 29, and 2 Peter, 1. But the one that actually means God, deity, is the third one they hope takes, and that refers to his very essence, the essence of who he is. The state of being God is from Colossians to not. So we keep looking for the answer to this relationship between the father and the son. And it says in John 118 that no man have seen God at any time. That makes perfect sense, Did it not say? He's the invisible God. No man has seen him. It says the only begotten son which is in the bosom of the father he have declared him. That word declared is unfolded him. Like I told you, a scroll just unfolds and then you begin to read and you begin to see and it's revealed to you, it's illuminated to you. Everything that was God has been declared by his.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 34:10

Son. All that he is, all of his thoughts, all of his heart, all of his actions, his will, his word has all been declared to that man, Jesus Christ. So we come to that conclusion. Before that, the son is the father. But reading these scriptures now, regarding Godhead and deity and divine and all of these things, who is Jesus? He said in Revelation 21,.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 34:45

I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 34:52

I will give unto him, that is, a thirst of the fountain of the water of life. Jesus said this of himself after he was not only dead, buried, resurrected, but even after he was ascended. He said this of himself and, in case you missed it, in chapter 21,. Just to be clear, let me say it again in 22. I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end of first and the last.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 35:25

Anybody know, where that was set up prior to this last chapter of the whole Bible. Where were those words used? Anybody know Chapter 1, true, I'm talking about. Even before that I'm talking about in the old covenant these words were used. Anybody can find it. Oh, oh, you see him getting on the electronic devices out.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 35:53

Searching through e-sword and whatever Bible gateway they're using on their thing. Anybody know where were these words used up in the old covenant? Isaiah 46:10? Did you say? That is not what I have. Can anybody confirm his guess? But Isaiah is the right book. Isaiah is the right book. Yes, sir. Did you say 43:10? I heard 46:10. 43:10 is one of them. Could you please read it out loud. You are my witnesses, said the Lord and my servant, whom I have chosen, that he may know and believe me and understand that I and he. Before me there was no God, or neither shall there be after me. Who said that? The Father? How do you know that? Yeah, it's in the context. How do you know that the Father said that.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 37:01

There you go, sister, would you say? It said, I'll say it. The Lord the Lord was speaking the God of the old covenant, the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob said I am the first and the last, but there's some other scriptures. Can anybody find them? Yes, sister Althea.

Sis. Katy Leyva: 37:17

I have 44:6.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 37:19

44:6 is one of them that I have. Yes, I can get two more out of that, but go ahead. Read that one out loud as Isaiah 44:6. Another space before.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 37:28

King of Israel, a district neighbor. The Lord of the host, I am the first and the last. We side and we bear no God.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 37:37

Who said that again? The Lord, the Lord. And I think it said something about Redeemer. Could you read that part again? It is Redeemer the Lord and His Redeemer said so. Who's the Redeemer? Jesus right there saying it? Just echoing what he had already said from centuries, millennia past, that was I don't know about millennia Now. There will be about 700 years prior to it. Anybody find the others? There's two more at least. Come on, eric, you got to know what you're doing?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 38:16

How about Isaiah 41, verse 4? Somebody read that out. On Isaiah 41, 4. I, the Lord, the first and the last. And there is one more. Is anybody found Very close to the ones that have already been given to us? Is anybody looking? Isaiah 44, verse 8. Read that out loud. What does it say?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 39:03

Hear me. Not need to be afraid, have not. I told me for that time and have declared it. We are human, like women. If there are any God besides me, who is there? No God, I know not any 6 and 8. I put those two together 46 and it actually says I have been buried in 12th of June. Does that actually say I am?

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 39:33

Ah, so who is Jesus.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 39:40

He is God. Jesus is God. You may not understand how in the world he is, but did not. It said In 1 Timothy 3.16 that great is the mystery of Godliness. What was the mystery of Godliness and what is Godliness? God was manifest.

Those scriptures are all connected. You can find out where the God or God of the Old Covenant, in the words of the prophets, through Isaiah. He kept saying I am the Lord and there is no other. I am God and there is no other. I am your Creator, there is no other. There is no other, there is no one, there is no one above me. He kept saying that. He kept saying that. He kept saying I am the beginning, I am the first in the life. You find just a string of verses declaring, through Isaiah, who he is. And here you have Jesus not being ashamed of repeating the same words Because Jesus had been saying without their understanding.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 40:52

I am the Lord.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 40:54

What did he say to the Pharisees before Abraham was I am. Jesus is God, and we should not be afraid to mention it, because too many other religions are not saying what he said. He said. They are not saying what he said he meant, they are not identifying him for who he said he was. Jesus is God and there is no other.

j - Jesus M. Ruiz: 41:44

Amen. Thank you for watching.
