P. 107
ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand before you whole. 11.) This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12.) Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Jesus Christ is that very same corner stone established from the very beginning of time.
Take a look at I Peter 2:6-7, 6.)”Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious; and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7.) Unto you therefore which believe he is precious; but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner.”
Jesus Christ is the First and the Last, the Alpha and Omega. Isaiah 48:11-12, 11.) ”For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? And I will not give my glory unto another. 12.) Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am He; and I am the first, I also am the last.” [This is God of the Old Testament. Let’s not forget verses 16 and 17 of Isaiah 48.] 16.) “Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me. 17.) Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy one of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.”
If the Triune biasness and philosophy was not in the O.T. then how could it be in the N.T.? In Revelation 1:7-8, 11, 17-18, John made these statements of Christ Jesus’ own words. Verses 7-8, 7.)”Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8.) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” (This later part here is noted with John 1:1-14). Verse 11 saying, “I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: ... Verses 17-18, 17.) “And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18.) I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forever more, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”
This could not have been said by Jesus unless he was the “I am, that I am.” Jesus was God incarnate in the flesh. II Corinthians 4:4, “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the mind of them which believe not, but the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” II Corinthians 5:19 and 21, 19.) “ To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” 21.) “ For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
In John 10:30, Jesus makes this statement, “I and my Father are one”. It is not possible that another person in the Godhead could even exist.
