UJesu nguNkulunkulu
UJesu watshela umfundi wakhe uTomase - “'Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila. Akekho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kokuba eze ngami. Uma beningazi mina, beniyakumazi noBaba; futhi kusukela manje niyamazi, futhi nimbonile. ” (Johane 14: 6-7UFiliphu umfundi wathi kuJesu: “'Nkosi, sikhombise uYihlo, kusanele.'” UJesu wamphendula wathi: “Ngibe nawe isikhathi eside kangaka, awukangazi, Filiphu? Ongibonile mina umbonile uBaba; usho kanjani ukuthi, 'Sikhombise uYihlo'? Awukholwa yini ukuthi ngikuBaba, noBaba ukimi, na? Amazwi engiwakhuluma kini angiwakhulumi ngokwami; kodwa uBaba ohlezi kimi wenza imisebenzi. ” (Johane 14: 8-10)
Cabanga ngalokho uPawulu akubhalela abaseKolose ngoJesu: “Ungumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongabonakali, izibulo kwindalo yonke. Ngoba ngaye zadalwa zonke izinto ezisezulwini futhi ezisemhlabeni, ezibonakalayo nezingabonakali, noma ngabe izihlalo zobukhosi noma ubukhosi noma izikhulu noma amandla. Zonke izinto zidalwe ngaye futhi zidalelwa yena. Futhi ungaphambi kwezinto zonke, futhi kuye zonke izinto zimi kuye. Futhi uyikhanda lomzimba, ibandla, oyisiqalo, izibulo kwabafileyo, ukuze ezintweni zonke abe negunya. Ngoba kwamjabulisa uBaba ukuthi kuye ukugcwala konke kuhlale kuye nokuthi konke ukubuyisana kuyena kuye, izinto, ezisemhlabeni noma ezisezulwini, enze ukuthula ngegazi lesiphambano sakhe. ” (Kolose 1: 15-20)
Kunemibono eminingi engebhayibheli ngoJesu afundiswa namuhla. AmaMormon aphika ukuthi uJesu unguNkulunkulu, kepha ambheke njengomfowethu okomoya kaSathane (UMartin 252). OFakazi BakaJehova bafundisa ukuthi uJesu “wayengunkulunkulu,” kodwa hhayi uNkulunkulu uSomandla, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, kodwa hhayi uNkulunkulu uqobo (UMartin 73). Ama-Christian Scientist ayaphika ukuthi uJesu wayenguNkulunkulu, futhi athi "u-Kristu ongokomoya" wayengenasici, futhi uJesu ngokuthi "ubuntu bezinto ezibonakalayo" wayengeyena u-Kristu (UMartin 162). I-Gnosticism yanamuhla, noma iTheosophy iphikisana nemfundiso yeBhayibheli ngesimo nobuntu bukaNkulunkulu, futhi iphika ubuNkulunkulu bukaJesu nomhlatshelo Wakhe wesono (UMartin 291). I-Unitarian Universalism iphika ubuNkulunkulu bukaJesu, izimangaliso Zakhe, ukuzalwa kwentombi, nokuvuka komzimba (UMartin 332). Inhlangano ye-New Age ibheka uJesu “njengamandla ayisisekelo okuvela kwendalo,” hhayi njengoNkulunkulu; kodwa esikhundleni salokho ubheka umuntu njengonkulunkulu (UMartin 412-413). KumaSulumane, uJesu ungomunye wabaprofethi abaningi baka-Allah, kanti uMuhammad ungumprofethi omkhulu kunabo bonke (UMartin 446).
ITestamente Elisha uJesu unguNkulunkulu oweza enyameni ukuzofela izono zethu. Uma ufuna impilo yaphakade, phendukela kuJesu weqiniso weTestamente Elisha. UJesu wamemezela - “Ngokuba njengalokhu uYise evusa abafileyo, abaphilise, kanjalo neNdodana iyabaphilisa labo ethanda ukubaphilisa. Ngoba uYise akahluleli muntu, kepha unikele iNdodana konke ukwahlulela, ukuze bonke badumise iNdodana, njengalokho bedumisa uYise. Lowo ongahloniphi iNdodana kahloniphi uYise oyithumileyo. Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Ozwa izwi lami, akholwe kulowo ongithumileyo, unokuphila okuphakade; (Johane 5: 21-24)
