Study on the deity of Christ
I was lent a copy of the book The Trinity by a friend awhile ago that I now have a little more time to read. I have been really blessed by the scriptural proof that the author, Edward Henry Bickersteth, makes to show that Jesus Christ is God the Son.
One of the points he made was that the Bible refers to Jehovah as the only Saviour. In other places we see that Jesus Christ is the only Saviour. We believe this is because Jesus Christ is Jehovah. I have included these scripture references as a sample of the whole chart. I will be inputting the whole chart slowly over time.
