Oct 31, 2022 · I noticed that in Romans 5:1-8:39, which in most study Bible / commentary outlines are grouped into one part, Paul was not consistent in referring to the Lord Jesus Christ ; sometimes "Jesus Christ" (5:1, 5:21, 7:25) but sometimes "Christ Jesus" (6:23, 8:39). These 5 verses are in strategic places (summary sentences), usually at the end of a chapter.
Jun 17, 2020 · There is 'Lord God' and there is 'Lord Jesus Christ'. So just to say 'Lord' requires more to be stated. There is dominion within the Body of Christ and there is dominion over all - Lord God Almighty. (All things shall be subdued under Christ, but not yet, I Cor 15:28.) But if 'God' be only 'Father' and none other, why say 'God Father' ?

Perhaps one of the clearest indications that Paul thought Jesus was Yahweh comes from the fact that he used Monotheistic Old Testament passages which uniquely referred to Yahweh and applied them to the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:13 cf. Joel 2:32; 1 Cor. 1:31 cf. Jer. 9:24; 1 Cor. 2:16 cf. Isa. 40:13; 1 Cor. 10:26 cf. Ps. 24:1; 2 Cor. 10:17 cf. Je...
The early Christians prayed to Jesus for his return and for blessing and were even described as those who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus, which likely indicate that such prayer was a regular part of their devotional practices (1 Cor. 1:2; 16:22; 2 Cor. 12:8; Rom. 10:13). 1 Corinthians 1:2 and Romans 10:13even draw upon an Old Testament passag...
They also composed hymns describing Jesus as pre-existent and active in the themes of creation, redemption, and end-time salvation (Phil. 2:6-11). Only God was the Creator, and for Jesus to share in that action indicates that He could be uniquely viewed as sharing in God’s identity or being God Himself. Likewise, the fact that Paul thought of Jesus...
As briefly mentioned, Paul did have a conception of Jesus being pre-existent (cf. Rom. 8:3; 1 Cor. 8:6; 10:4; 15:47; 2 Cor. 8:9; Gal. 4:4). This would be totally consistent with the idea of Jesus being incarnated as a human. 1. Romans 8:3, “For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness...
Paul also described Jesus as Creator, “Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.” (1 Cor. 8:6). Isaiah 44:24 says, “Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, “I, the LORD, am the maker of...
There are also a number of other strong indications that the early Christians, such as Paul, viewed Jesus as God. First, these early Christians composed creedal statements in which Jesus was their object (Rom. 1:3-4; 10:9-10). Second, they described their worship services as gathering in the Lord’s name (1 Cor. 5:4). Third, they baptized new conver...
An important question arises once we consider the fact that Paul thought of Jesus as God. When did this belief in Jesus as God first emerge? Perhaps the earliest examples that we see of this belief in Jesus as God comes from Philippians 2:5-11which is likely a pre-Pauline hymn. Philippians was written around A.D. 60. Since the hymn pre-dates the wr...
It is interesting to note that even in the earliest Christian writings that we have, Jesus is already receiving a type of devotion that was without precedent in the Judaism of the time period. This early devotion to Jesus was radically and explosively sudden. Some scholars have argued that essentially there never was a time when Jesus was not worsh...
May 8, 2013 · When Paul calls God “the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,” it does not imply that Jesus is not God. As Charles Hodge argues (Commentary on the Epistle to the Ephesians [Eerdmans], p. 70), Paul’s words (1:15), “faith in the Lord Jesus” imply His deity. The Bible is clear that we should not put our faith in any mere man, but in God alone.
Jun 5, 2021 · That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: (KJV) I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. (NIV)
St. Paul's usual phrase (see above, Ephesians 1:3) is "the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;" the phrase here used is unique, probably substituted for the other on account of the use of the word "Father" in the next clause. It refers, of course, entirely to our Lord's nature as the true Son of Man.

Jan 4, 2022 · The switch from Christ Jesus to Jesus Christ in Philippians 2 aligns perfectly with the theme of the hymn Paul quotes. The hymn begins with God becoming man—thus, “Christ Jesus” (the heavenly title, then the human name). The hymn ends with the Lord ascending to glory—thus, “Jesus Christ” (the human name, then the heavenly title).
