What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

Christology must be the Bible believer's favorite “ology,” and my favorite part is learning how God uses various titles for his Only Begotten Son. It is important to pay close attention. First note that all modernist bibles have stripped the name “Jesus” from 47 verses, “Christ” from 37 verses, and 'Lord” from 40 verses. Twice they had the audacity to strip “Lord Jesus Christ” out of their copyright bibles (Col 1:2, 1Thes 1:1). For this study you must use an Authorized KJB. Jesus is his name before his death and resurrection, before salvation was made complete; it is his earthly name; it speaks of his humiliation, his humanness, his finiteness; it means saviour. Consequently the Gospels use Jesus 612 times, Epistles 71 times, while Christ is used only 56 times in the Gospels, 256 times in the Epistles. Before his crucifixion he was never called Jesus to his face, they called him Master or Rabbi, believers called him Lord, thus a Christian is not one who believes in Jesus- the world believes there was a Jesus – but a Christian is one who believes in “The Lord Jesus Christ.” The word Christ (Hebrew Messiah) means the Anointed One, and is the official title of the Son of God. He is the anointed Prophet, Priest, and King. When the compound name Jesus Christ is used, the emphasis is on what he was over what he is, when Christ Jesus is used it emphasizes him exalted who was once humiliated. He is Lord when he owns you. His fullest title is the Lord Jesus Christ. Differentiate between the Son of God and the Son of Man, the Son of Abraham and the Son of David. Discover the seven “I AM” titles in John... be a student of his names, in a KJB.
