THE SON

 

John 1.1 - the word was God

Verse 14 - and the word became flesh

 

The word is Christ. This (after completion) creature with the body of a human and the consciousness of God.

 

He is the only Son from the Father (John 1.14). Because He born from His Father, inherited His divinity and God himself.

 

The Father calls His Son "God", and therefore He is God, "about a Son ( told from Father ): Thy throne, o God, forever" (Heb 1.8).

IT EXISTED BEFORE BORN OF MARY :  "And now glorify thou, father, in Me you have The glory which I had with Thee before the world was" (John 17).

 

The world was created by Christ and His creative power is proof of His divinity. "They created all that is in the heavens and on Earth, visible and invisible. And He is before all things, and all of Them" ( Col 1.16-17). The same is in other texts ( Heb 1.10 ).

Power of Christ works miracles, resurrects the dead, etc. and should be revered as proof of His divinity.

 

The fact that Christ was resurrected and ascended to heaven, and that He sits at the right hand of the father, confirms His divinity:

"God raised Him" (Acts 2.24).

"He was lifted up by God's hand" (v.33).

"The Lord said to my Lord: sit at my right" (v.34).

 

Christ acknowledges that the father is greater than he (John 14.28). But it's "Prince of heaven, one with the father" (John 10:  30 and "great struggle"), "from eternity with the father" (John 8.58 and "signs of the times" - 1895).
