QUESTION: A man said that if Christ was God He would have known when
He was going to return (Matthew 24:36). Is Christ God? If God is the Father
and Christ is the Son, who is the Mother?
ANSWER: Yes! Christ is God! (John 1:1; John 5:18; John 20:28; Philippians 2:5-
6). It is sometimes difficult for man, largely because of false teaching, to accept
the fact of three personalities in one God or one Godhead! The scriptures reveal
quite forcefully that there is only one God (Isaiah 44:6). However, with equal
force, this one God reveals Himself to us in scripture as God the Father
(Ephesians 4:6), God the Son (Matthew 1:23), and God the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3-
4)! These three separate and distinct personalities make up the Godhead or God
(Matthew 28:19; Acts 17:29; Colossians 2:9)! Each of these personalities, being
all-present, all-knowing, and all-powerful, possesses all the attributes of Deity.
They are coequal and coeternal! They are individually and collectively, God!
We learn from the Bible that “God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis
1:1), but it was not the Father alone who participated in the creation. In Genesis
1:26, “God said, Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness.” To
whom was God speaking? Undoubtedly, to the other two personalities in the
Godhead! We find in Genesis 1:2 that the Holy Spirit was present at the creation
and in Colossians 1:16-17, we find that the Son was also present. They were not
only there, but were actively involved with the Father in the creation process!
Undeniably then, there is only “one” God or Godhead (Isaiah 42:8; 43:10; 45:21),
made up of three distinct personalities (Matthew 3:16; 28:19; II Corinthians
13:14).
