Is Jesus God?

Yes, according to mainstream Christian theology, Jesus is considered to be God. This belief is rooted in the concept of the Trinity, which describes God as one being existing in three co-equal, co-eternal persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.

Key points supporting this belief include:

• Scriptural affirmations: The New Testament contains numerous verses that point to Jesus' divinity. For instance, John 1:1 states, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

• Jesus' own claims: Jesus referred to Himself in ways that implied divine authority and identity, such as "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).

• Early Church teachings: The first Christians, who had firsthand experience with Jesus and His apostles, consistently affirmed Jesus' divinity in their writings and creeds.

However, it's important to note that there are various interpretations of Jesus' nature and relationship to God within Christianity. Some groups, while considering themselves Christian, hold beliefs that differ from the mainstream Trinitarian view.
