OF TRINITY, CHRISTIAN DOUBT AND THE DEITY OF JESUS THE CHRIST.

The triune of the person of the Christian God is a topic that perhaps is in the Christian world better avoided that tackled. More often than not, the modern Christian will rather avoid talking about it because of fear of exposing themselves to anything that would "sow doubt" in him. good strategy. Even when I sometimes strike a random conversation with a random person on the road, I come across people who would pass as staunch Christians but show some level of doubt concerning some of these biblical concepts. 

Doubt, as I see it at a personal level, is a good thing -it is abhorred though in the Christian world because: 

Matthew 21:21

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 

AND

James 1:5-8

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. 8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

There is no shortage of bible verses that a Christian can cite just to explain to you how detrimental to your "spiritual well-being "doubt is. But at close examination, you notice that the bible is talking about faith in God. It is different when we are dealing with understanding the word. In dealing with knowledge, doubt plays a vital role for it creates a desire to understand whatever it is you doubt. 

The greatest discoveries in the world have been known to begin from a point of doubt. Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Alexander Graham-Bell, et al, became greats as a result of the doubts they had concerning what was taught during their time. This is the kind of doubt that can catapult a person to a point of better understanding. CS Lewis, being an agnostic, never doubted the faith but the teachings thereof. And when he went into research to try and understand the word, he ended up correcting some of the teachings and being a great soldier in the faith outside the biblical times.  

So heavily doubted even within the Christian community is the deity of Jesus the Christ. First of all, being a part of the triune of the Christain God puts Him on the level of a deity. But as Christians once challenged about His deity we falter. We falter because we do not read and we do not research. our doubt does not help us because we have been told how bad it is to entertain it. 

Does Christ then indicate or state that he is a deity? Yes, he does. How? Where? You may ask.

Luke 9:22

...“The SON OF MAN must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised up on the third day.”

In this verse, Christ refers to himself as the "son of man." And those who reject His deity claim that this phrase means that he is a man and not God. You can easily start to stutter here if your faith is not strongly rooted in the knowledge of the word of God. But how does the prophet Daniel describe the "SON OF MAN?"

Daniel 7:13-14

“I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. “And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away, And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.

This description for all purposes and intent is meant for a deity that has glory and dominion over subjects and whose kingdom will be everlasting per the passage above. I do not know what else that description would fit to. 

Revelation 1:12-13

And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the" Son of man," clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 

I hope you understand now that the SON OF MAN is actually a deity and when JESUS THE CHRIST refers to Himself as the Son of man, He is in an actual sense claiming to be God. A whole part of the TRINITY.
