IMMANUEL: Jesus Christ was called Immanuel. (Matthew 1:23)
(Isaiah 8:8) This name or title means “God with us.” Because Jesus was called
“God with us” some people think that he is God. But having a name that ties you
to God does not prove that you are God. Most Hebrew names had profound
meanings. It was a common practice among Jews to embody the word “God” or
“Jehovah” in names. There are men today who have the name “Immanuel.” Are they
considered the incarnation of God? Jesus, the Messiah, was God’s formost representative among mankind. In that sense the Son
of God was “God with us.”
God’s faithful people have always desired God to be with them. They wanted Him
on their side, backing them up in all that they did. The Holy Scriptures are
filled with reassuring words and signs from God that “God is with us.” ( Genesis 28:10-20) (Exodus 3:12) (Joshua 1:5, 9;
Is Jesus Christ God? NO! But using the definitions in this article Jesus could
be considered a deity. That is why some call him “a god.” And he is truly
“God-like” in his nature. (Philippians 2:5, 6) The Holy Scriptures clearly
identify the position of Jesus Christ in heaven. He is second in command. GOD
is first! (Hebrews 10:12, 13) (Colossians 3:1) (1 John 2:1)

his Father, and very much qualified to be a deity! But GOD, not Jesus Christ,
is the true Deity!

(7) Like his Father, Jesus Christ is the Savior. (2 Samuel 22:2) (Isaiah 43:3)
