WAS JESUS GOD?

According to the respected New Testament scholar Raymond Brown:

When asked whether the NT calls Jesus God:

1. Three NT texts unmistakably do (Hebrews 1:8-9, John 1:1, 20:28)

2. Five others probably do (John 1:18, Titus 2:13, 1 John 5:20, Romans 9:5, 2 Peter 1:1)

3. And most, if not all, of these seem to spring from a context of worship. (Expository Times, June 1968, p. 258)

THE 'WORD OF GOD'

The great 20th century theologian Karl Barth has taught us that when we think of the phrase 'the Word of God' we must think three ways:

The Eternal Logos (Christ)

The Written Word (Scripture)

The Preached Word.
