Yes — the Bible presents Jesus Christ as fully God, not a created being or lesser figure.
John 1:1 declares that the Word was God, and John 1:3 says all things were made by Him. Colossians 1:16 and Isaiah 9:6 reinforce Christ's deity. Les Feldick teaches that Jesus is "very, very God" — the visible manifestation of the true God (Clip 2).
John 1:1 — This verse directly answers the question: the Word (Jesus) existed in the beginning, was with God, and was God.
Colossians 1:16 — Confirms that all things in heaven and earth were created by Christ, a work belonging to God alone.
Isaiah 9:6 — The Old Testament prophecy that the coming child would be called the Mighty God.
The Bible plainly identifies Jesus as God. John's Gospel opens, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1), using the same "in the beginning" language as Genesis 1:1. The same passage says that this Word "was made flesh, and dwelt among us" (John 1:14) — the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ. Scripture also attributes creation to Christ. John 1:3 says, "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." Colossians 1:16 confirms, "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him." The Old Testament likewise points to the Messiah's deity. Isaiah 9:6 prophesies, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." And Jesus Himself declared to Philip, "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9).
Les Feldick teaches without hesitation that Jesus Christ is "very, very God" — not an offspring of God, not something created by God, but God Himself (Clip 2). He connects this to John 1:1, explaining that "the Word" denotes communication, and God the Son is the One who communicates within the Godhead (Clips 1, 5). Les also identifies Jesus as the visible manifestation of the true God (Clip 2). Les emphasizes that the Word who was with God and was God became flesh (Clip 3), and that although the entire Trinity was involved in creation, the New Testament makes clear that God the Son is the One who spoke the Word that caused creation to become a viable act (Clips 1, 6). He says that when we get to any act of creation, we are dealing with God the Son, Jesus the Christ (Clip 6). Les also addresses modern unbelief: he notes that a national survey found 89% of pastors denied the deity of Christ, yet he insists Scripture testifies to Christ's deity "all the way through" — from Isaiah's prophecy that He would be called the Mighty God (Clip 4) to Jesus's own words to Philip, "If you've seen me, you've seen the Father" (Clip 4).
John 1:1 says the Word was with God and the Word was God — a distinction of persons within the Godhead, yet a full sharing of deity. Les Feldick explains that the capitalized Word is a name of deity, and that God the Son is the communicator within the Godhead. "In the beginning was the Word the communicator," he says, showing that the same person who is called the Son of God and Christ is the Word of John 1 (Clips 3, 5).
The Bible states that all things were made by the Word (John 1:3), and Colossians 1:16 confirms that by Him all things were created — in heaven, in earth, visible and invisible (Clip 2). Les Feldick teaches that even though the triune God was involved in creation, the New Testament emphasizes that God the Son is the One who actually spoke the Word that caused creation to become a viable act (Clips 1, 6).
Jesus told Philip, "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9) — a direct claim to be the visible manifestation of God. Les Feldick points to this and to Isaiah 9:6, which prophesies that the coming child would be called "The mighty God." Les notes that many theologians try to deny that Jesus ever claimed to be God, but he insists, "But He is, and He was, and He always will be" (Clip 4).
Les Feldick teaches that in the beginning, the triune Almighty God called out of nothing everything — the heavens, the angelic host, the earth, and everything in it (Clip 0). While God the Son is the One who spoke creation into being, Les is careful to say, "We can't leave out the other two, God the Father and God the Spirit, because they're all three involved" (Clip 1). The triune Godhead is complete and united in purpose.
Triune God Created All Things
Les teaches that in the beginning, the triune Almighty God called out of nothing everything — the heavens, the angelic host, and the earth — laying the foundation for understanding God the Son's role.
The Word as Communicator and Creator
Les explains that "Word" denotes communication, and God the Son is the One who by the spoken Word created everything, with all three Persons of the Trinity involved.
Jesus Is Very God
Les affirms that Jesus Christ is very, very God — the visible manifestation of the true God — and cites Colossians 1:16 showing all things were created by Him.
The Word Was God and Became Flesh
Les equates the Lord God with Jehovah, God the Son, and connects John 1:1 with the Word becoming flesh as part of God's plan of redemption.
The Mighty God and Jesus's Own Claim
Les points to Isaiah 9:6 — "He shall be called the Mighty God" — and John 14:9, where Jesus tells Philip that seeing Him is seeing the Father, as proof of His deity.
God the Communicator
Les teaches that the capitalized Word is a name of deity, and that God the Son is the communicator within the Godhead — "God the communicator."
God the Son Spoke Creation
Les emphasizes that while the whole Trinity was involved, the New Testament tells us God the Son spoke the Word that caused creation to become a viable act.
Warning Against Denying Christ's Deity
Les cites a survey in which 89% of pastors denied that Jesus is God, and affirms that even when separated as the Son, He is still God.
John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The clearest statement that Jesus (the Word) is God, distinct from yet equal to the Father.
John 1:3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
The Word is the agent of all creation, a work of God alone.
John 1:14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The Word who was God took on human flesh — the incarnation of God in Christ.
Colossians 1:16: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Paul affirms Christ as the creator of all things, both visible and invisible.
Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
The Old Testament prophecy that the coming child would be called the Mighty God.
John 14:9: Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Jesus personally claims that to see Him is to see the Father.
Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The opening of Scripture that Les connects to the triune God's work of creation.
Yes. John 1:1 declares, "...the Word was God," and the same chapter says all things were made by Him (John 1:3). Colossians 1:16 also says all things were created by Him, and Isaiah 9:6 calls Him "The mighty God."
Yes, emphatically. Les states that Jesus Christ is "very, very God" — not an offspring of God or something created by God, but God Himself. He says you can see it all the way through the Scriptures (Clip 2).
No. John 1:1 shows the Word was with God and yet the Word was God — a distinction of persons within the one Godhead while sharing full deity. Les teaches that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit are all three involved and are the one triune God (Clip 1).
Les Feldick notes that even many preachers deny it — a survey he cited found 89% of pastors did not believe Jesus was God. Yet he points to Scriptures such as Isaiah 9:6 and John 14:9, and to Colossians 1:16, as clear evidence that Jesus is very God (Clips 2, 4, 7).
