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 Controversy"),
"from eternity with the Father" (John 8.58 and "Signs of the Times"
- 1895).
