Notes on the Deity of Jesus

In the book of John he opens chapter one John 1:1 - 2 with a statement on the deity of Christ. Jesus as the second part of the Trinity is co-eternal with God the father.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

  • The word was Jesus and he was with God in the beginning and Jesus ,the word was God. (I added Jesus to the sentence for my own clarity. Frankly the KJV translations stands on it's own.)

John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

  • Jesus was in the beginning with God.

To Understand my faith better I have decided to construct these pages. They are strictly educational, non-commercial and to foster scholarly discussion. All Bible quotes are from the King James Version unless otherwise stated. I use the KJV because while not a perfect translation it is literal and out of Copyright. All mistakes are my own and if you differ from my thoughts I welcome your comments. J. Barry O'Connell Jr.
