02Direct answers

Begin with the real objection.

Read the direct answer first. Then examine the passages, context, and connected evidence.

01

Is Jesus God?

Yes. Scripture identifies Jesus as God while also presenting him as genuinely human for our salvation.

02

Is Jesus the Father?

Jesus is not the Father as to his humanity as the Son, yet the Father is fully revealed and dwelling in him.

03

Why did Jesus pray if he is God?

Jesus prayed from his genuine human life as the Son, not because a second divine God needed help from the first.

04

Who was Jesus praying to?

The man Christ Jesus prayed to the eternal God who was his Father and who also dwelt in him.

05

Did the Son exist eternally?

The one who became the Son is eternally God, but Scripture connects sonship to the incarnation, birth, and redemptive mission.
