Summary
Core Theme
This content argues that the deity of Jesus Christ can be definitively proven using John 1:3, specifically the phrases "all things were made through him" and "without him was not anything made that was made," asserting that these statements exclude Jesus from the category of created beings.

so if a Muslim or Jehovah's Witness both
of whom are Arians
Arians
say you got this translation wrong it
really shouldn't say the word
was God it should say the word was well
Godlike or a God and Prof great prophet great
great
Angel and then God used him for great
things you can know that's not
true just because of verse
three we can show them
this says in verse three first all
things were made through him now you
might think that's enough right there
that's enough he's not a creature he
created creatures is not enough all
things were made through him but they
will surely say well not really because
when it says all things were made
through him of course the one who made
all things is excluded from the all
things and is himself then
made and you might say just on the basis
of that well it's not obvious to me that
he's ex excluded from I mean that
he's not the the one who makes creatures
rather than being in the all things made
because it doesn't look like he's in the
all things made he made all
things if it were just left at that
you'd have an argument and you'd go on
that he went on to say this
this
and without
him was not anything
made that was
was
made why' you do
that why did God Inspire him to repeat
himself and then
add without
category if he's in the maid category
he had to make
himself if you don't exist you can't
being I don't think you need to know any
Greek you don't need to go to Thomas
though that might help Hebrews 1 might
help Romans 9 might
help Colossians 2 might help the deity
of Jesus Christ the godness of Jesus is
pervasive in the New Testament but all
you need to do is push with all your
might on verse
three and say I think the way verse
three is constructed without him was not anything
anything
made that was
made everything in the made category
Angels whatever he made it so he can't
be in that
category end of argument see you later
one little thing you might try with
Jehovah's Witnesses at the
door because I don't think we should
play games I think we should care about
their souls I don't think they're
Believers I don't think they're
Christian so my tactic now I've done
this for years in nearing the door bell
they have their magazine whatever and I
say I I I think I understand where
you're coming from I've talked to to
Jehovah's Witnesses a lot um I'm I'm a
Christian who believes deeply that Jesus
Christ is not a mere Angel and that he
is very God a very God I know you don't
believe that so I don't want to get into
a discussion but I would like to pray
for you and if you would just bow with
me let's ask Jesus to come and show us
who's right here I have never had one of
them let me do that never one old man
ran as fast as he could off my porch so
I that's just my my suggestion is that
if you don't have time to sit down and
and talk about what I just said I really
mean this with all my heart I believe
Jesus will show up like on Mount
Carmel and they know he might show up
and none of them has ever said well fine
here Christ was not
not
