How Important is the Divinity of Jesus?
A reader has asked: “Regarding Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christadelphians, and those who do not believe Jesus is God. Surely they have no Savior, though they say they are Christian, and ‘born again.’ There are also many in the established denominations, i.e., Church of England, Methodist, who also deny Jesus’ deity. I have a reply from both church headquarters, saying they allow a wise range of interpretation concerning Jesus’ deity – as long as He is acknowledged as Lord. Is this proper?” We do not believe that it is right to allow a “wide range of interpretation concerning Jesus’ deity.” Indeed, we believe that there is only one correct interpretation of what Scripture says about Jesus, that is, that He is the only-begotten Son, equal to the Father in all things and One God with the Father. We do not, however, intend to show that He is God. That we have done in previous issues (available on request). Instead we wish to show why this truth is so important and why there is no room for error
