Philippians 2:6 And Isaiah 9:6 Prove Jesus Is Deity
Philippians 2:6 says about Christ Jesus “Who, being in very nature God (NIV), thought it not robbery to be equal with God.” Other translations read this way:· NKJV - … did not consider it robbery to be equal with God· ASV - … being on an equality with God …· Simple English New Testament – He did not think that being equal with God was something to hold onto.The point of verses 6-8 is that Jesus was equal with God, emptied himself to become a man, a servant at that, and died beyond that. To say Jesus was only a man would miss the whole point of the context → that Jesus lowered himself.It would be hard for Jesus to be “equal with God” if he were not God (deity) also, wouldn’t it?As a matter of fact, Isaiah 9:6 calls Jesus the “mighty God.” Read the verse for yourself. Why would anybody want to argue with passages so unmistakable?
