Who is the Lord?, Analyzing the Divine Condition of Jesus

By Rolando José Olivo

Third book of the collection The Most Extraordinary Man of All History:

Although the great majority of Christians accept Jesus as God made man, the same God and the second member of the trinity, it is difficult to understand these ideas that contain deep theological conceptions, which contradict the doctrines of the New Age.

Likewise, the Essence of Jesus and his divine condition are related to the existence of God, which support (in accordance with biblical evidences) that Jesus is: a) God, b) the second member of the Christian trinity, and c) religious (not mystical, nor esoteric, neither Gnostic).

On the one hand, many Christians recognize that the existence of God and the divine condition of Jesus are matters of faith that transcend human understanding, and on the other hand, the New Age supporters question the existence of God, minimize Jesus and attribute anti-religious qualities to Him.

Finally, the true Christians must understand that Jesus is the same God, the second member of the trinity, and possesses a divine condition (which is contrary to the false image spread by non-Christians).

I. INTRODUCTION

Although the great majority of Christians accept Jesus as God made man, the same God and the second member of the trinity, it is difficult to understand these ideas that contain deep theological conceptions (religious, anti-esoteric and anti-gnostic), conceived by the Apostle Paul, whose letters were written before the publication of the canonical gospels (which also present the Christ of Paul, especially the one of his disciple Luke and the document written by the theologian John).

Likewise, this vision of the religious Jesus, which is consistent with several biblical prophecies, is rejected by the Jews, who don´t accept that the same God can be a prophet (although on one occasion, Moses revealed this truth and the prophet Isaiah also confirmed the divine condition of the Messiah), and that a mysterious unity between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit persists.

Additionally, the Essence of Jesus and his divine condition are related to the existence of God (which hasn´t been proven or rejected by science), and therefore, in accordance with the foundations of Christianity, in this literary work it is argued that Jesus is:

1. God.

2. The second member of the Christian trinity.

3. Religious (not mystical, nor esoteric, neither Gnostic).

In this regard, this book is divided into the following chapters:

a) Chapter II. The Existence of God, emphasizing on the evidences favorable to the existence of the Creator,

b) Chapter III. The Lord Jesus, explaining why Jesus is the same God,

c) Chapter IV. The Mystery of the Christian Trinity, presenting arguments for and against this theological notion (which is confirmed in several biblical passages of the Old and the New Testament), and stating that Jesus is the second member of the Christian trinity,

d) Chapter V. The True Religious Jesus, considering that there are two opposing visions (Jesus of the Christianity vs. Jesus of the New Age), the main differences between both movements are mentioned, standing out that the religious Jesus, who is the same God and the
