Topic: The Deity of Christ

You needed to choose two classmates dealing with different topics/views among themselves and also different from your own.

I. Give the name of the view against the full deity of Jesus Christ presented by your classmate (include your classmate’s name for reference).

As Michael points out, Christian Science is the view against the full deity of Jesus Christ. Although Christian scientists do believe in the trinity, and of course in God, and even in Jesus Christ as the Messiah, Christian Scientists do not follow Biblical truths.

II. Provide your own response to these objections. Use your own arguments, they must not be the same as the ones used by your classmates.

Christian Science is an outlier for a reason. Not only does the organization have a warped view of the trinity, it also has a distorted view of Jesus. According to an official Christian Science website, “Christian Science teaches that Jesus embodied the divinity of God but that he himself was not Deity,” (First Church of Christ Scientist, 2010, p. 1). Another issue is that Christian Science does not even believe in Heaven and Hell, instead presenting these as “states of mind,” (First Church of Christ Scientist, 2010, p. 1). Christian Science also does not believe in a Judgment Day, which is clearly against Biblical truths.


III. Give and Explain At least one key bible verse directly stating the full deity of Christ. above (verses should be in the following format “John 3:18; Acts 1:8, Proverbs 16:1”). It is a good idea to consult two or more commentaries.

“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,” (Colossians 2:9). Clearly, this passage shows that even though Jesus was in “bodily form,” He was “the fullness of the Deity.”

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,” (John 1:1). This passage shows how Jesus is the Word, who is not just “with God,” but is also equated with God, the “Word Was God.” The language is clear.
