Brother Bob Pellien: Good day to everyone! Thank you very much for a nice warm welcome. We welcome everyone here in the studio audience as well as all those who are joining us on the internet—maybe watching it by means of incmedia.org on your smartphones, through the Facebook pages that we have, or also maybe on channel 49 INCTV in the Philippines. Thank you all so very much for joining us in this episode of…?
Audience: That’s in the Bible!
Brother Bob: You know, dear friends, anyone that's following the Iglesia Ni Cristo social media outlets, and we do have a few, you are by now very well aware of the intensified efforts of the Church Of Christ, led by the Church Administration, in eradicating poverty all over the world. There's been a lot of efforts that have been exerted by the Church Of Christ, most especially in the continent of Africa. In order to reach that goal of, well, like I said, eradicating poverty all over the world, Lord willing. The questions that we'll be addressing in our taping for today of this broadcast of the program That's in the Bible are questions that come from ordinary citizens that the That’s In The Bible team that went to Africa were able to meet. Some of the ordinary citizens of Africa. And they posed a lot of questions. Like I said, we're going to address a couple of them here in our broadcast for today.
We were happy to receive some questions because as the continent of Africa learns about the Church Of Christ, it has begun to prompt some questions. We will continue to reach out to our fellow men there and everywhere. The That's in the Bible team, as I mentioned, recently visited and received the following specific questions to this program. And we'll be tackling them together, for today. Our first question comes from John, in Johannesburg, South Africa. Let's take a look at the question that John posed for today.

John: And the question I have is, who is Jesus? Who is God?

Are God and Jesus the Same Person?
Brother Bob: “Who is Jesus? Who is God?” These are questions that usually stem from what some would call a confusing, nevertheless, a very common concept that in fact God and Jesus are one and the same. But how does the Bible respond to that? John has asked and the Bible, the Bible gives a response. First of all, we cite from the book of Matthew, chapter 3, verse 17:
And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
[Matthew 3:17 New King James Version]
Brother Bob: Here, dear friends, God is the one who introduced Jesus. God introduced Jesus as His Son. That's according to the Father Himself. So John asked, “Well, who is Jesus?” God answers by saying, “That's My Son.” Never has any correct translation of the Bible ever said that Christ is, in fact, God the Son. What can be read very clearly from the Bible is the fact that Christ is the Son of God. God the Son and Son of God are two very, very, different things and they must not be interchang...
