Is Jesus God?

Start with what the text says

John calls the Word God and says the Word was made flesh. Thomas addresses the risen Jesus as “My Lord and my God.” Hebrews addresses the Son as God.

Do not erase his humanity

Jesus could hunger, suffer, pray, obey, and die because the incarnation was real. Those human experiences do not cancel the identity of the Spirit dwelling in him.

2 Corinthians 5:19God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.

Does the Bible actually call Jesus God?

Yes. The biblical case does not depend on a single isolated phrase. John says the Word was God and then says the Word became flesh. Thomas addresses the risen Jesus as “My Lord and my God.” Hebrews applies the title God directly to the Son. Read together, these passages establish more than divine agency or honor: they identify Jesus within the divine identity while the same New Testament also presents his genuine humanity.

What does Colossians 2:9 mean?

Colossians 2:9 is one of the clearest summaries of the incarnation: all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ bodily. Paul does not describe Jesus as containing one part of God or one member of a divided Godhead. The fullness is God's complete divine reality, and it is present bodily in Christ.

Colossians 2:9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

How can Jesus be God and still be the Son?

Apostolic Christology keeps two truths together instead of using one to erase the other. The deity revealed in Jesus is eternal God. The Son is the real human life brought forth through the incarnation, born of Mary and sent for our redemption. That is why Scripture can speak of Jesus praying, obeying, suffering, dying, and mediating while also calling him God and locating all divine fullness in him.
