Who is Jesus Christ? What is Truth?

Who is Jesus Christ? What is Truth?

This is a question that must be answered. The simple answer would be Jesus Christ is Truth; Truth is Jesus Christ. But does that really answer the question, or just cause confusion? It causes confusion to the non-believers and opens the path of heresy and hypocrisy to believers. Some say to read the Bible for the answer. Fact is, you cannot just open any Bible; as is explained in "Differences in Bible translations". Some translations, including the New King James Version (NKJV), takes the deity out of Christ in a blatant act of blasphemy. In this article, I will use scripture (from the KJV 1611 edition) as proof of Jesus Christ's existance and His deity as well as to explain Truth.

All man; particulary Christian ministers (pastors, deacons, bishops, priests, etc); better keep in common wisdom that it would be wise to preach Truth in Jesus Christ, not to stray in the slightest in fear of persecution or otherwise. For it is stated in scripture, the following:
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 12:36-37

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Colossians 3:16

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
1 Thessalonians 1:5

It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
2 Timothy 2:11-19

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 
2 Timothy 4:2-4

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.  James 1:8


A relationship with Christ is not just a two hour event on Sunday, but rather a 24hour / 7day a week event. To know Christ fully, one must have an open and constant relationship with Him; and must try as hard as one can to live as Christ commanded. As scripture states:
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. James 1:21-26


Jesus Christ is the Son of God. So why do so many people wish to take the deity away from Christ? To change or alter history or Gods Word is utter blasphemy; which will, and has, lead to heresy and hypocrisy. As is stated in scripture:
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:10-14


Jesus Christ confirms Himself that He is Truth. As scripture states:
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:31-32

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  John 14:6

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
James 5:19-20


His decsiples also claim Jesus Christ to be Truth and the Son of God. As it is stated in scripture:
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
1 John 5:20


Why should one follow the Way of Jesus Christ? Scripture holds the answer.
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
2 Samuel 22:31

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 55:8


How can one follow Jesus Christ? How can one know Truth? How can one make it into heaven? Jesus Christ has the answer:
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 7:13-14

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  John 14:6


To all who feel they must listen to and abide by the complete and utter heresy and hypocrisy of the mainstream blasphemy, therefore sending yourself straight to damnation, out of fear of being persecuted or otherwise; please look upon what scripture says to you:
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 
Matthew 5:10-12

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.  2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Do you understand what this is saying? Those who are of God, brethren of Jesus Christ, will be persecuted in the name of Truth. But not to worry, to be persecuted in this life (the physical) is to have life eternal with God the Father and Jesus Christ; to be free of condemnation and eternal damnation. Is life eternal not worth persecution? Is escaping eternal damnation not worth knowing and preaching Truth and experiencing persecution in this life? Is persecution for righteousness sake not worth it to achieve life eternal? Do not be ashamed to call yourself Christian. Do not be ashamed to bear your cross. Do not be ashamed to proclaim belief in Jesus Christ and preach the one true God. For Jesus Christ states And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.  Matthew 10:38

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.  Matthew 16:24


Many feel that Jesus Christ is love. Yes, Jesus Christ preached love. But he also states the following:
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:34
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.  Luke 22:36
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 
Revelation 19:15-16

Now, I will admit Jesus did preach peace and love. But not of the world. He preached peace and love for His people, His brethren. Those which are given the name Israel (not the nation, the people); those which are of God and follow God. Those of Satan are not to have our love nor are we expected to hold peace with Satan's people as they will not hold peace with us lest we convert and follow Satan. 

Jesus Christ is peace and love to His people, to His brethren. He is the fierce warrior of righteousness and worst enemy of Satan. Truth is Jesus Christ is the Way, the life, our Lord and Saviour. Truth is Jesus Christ will take vengeance on any and all that speak against Him and His brethren. Truth is Jesus Christ was, is, and forever will be, God. He was Prince to the royal throne that is God the Fathers. He is now King of Kings, as the Father has given Jesus Christ the throne.

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Luke 1:31-33

 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory  Matthew 25:31

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.   Revelation 12:5
