**- specifically the Deity of Jesus Christ.** Deity is not of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is of Deity,......the only true God. That’s why Jesus Christ and his apostles always used the phrase “the Son of God”. Simply put: where is the Father NOT at?

Jesus is the incarnate God. God in the flesh. The "deity of Jesus Christ" means Jesus IS God.

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

    There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

    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. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (John 1:1-18)

It’s late. Just got through driving all day.

John 1:1-18 is wonderful! But don’t overlook what the writer says in verse 18: that the Son dwells in the bosom of the Father. That is literal. The verse says that no man has seen God at any time.
In John 4:23,24, Jesus Christ declares that God the Father is a Spirit.

The Father is the Word. This can be proven by what the Son of God said several times, in the book of John, that the words were not his, but his Father’s. Christ declared the Father to be in him, and he in the Father. Literally.

As I said: where is the Father NOT at?

Isaiah 42:1-7 is also worth reading.......nice and slow.

Good night and God bless
