Question: Is Christ God according to Apostle Peter?
There are preachers today who preach that Christ is God. So, in order to verify such teaching, we will ask Apostle Peter through the Bible, whether their teaching that Christ is God is true. So, the question is "Is Christ God according to Apostle Peter?"Answer: Christ is a man. (ACTS 2:22, Douay-Rehims)
Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know:
Reflection of the Truth on Acts 2:22
In the book of the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 2, Verse 22), Apostle said that Jesus of Nazareth is a man. He did not say, Christ is a God-Man or Man-God, rather, he said Christ is a man.What kind of a man is Christ? Apostle Peter added, "a man approved of God."
How did God show His approval of Christ? Apostle Peter said clarified, "a man approved of God... by miracles, and wonders, and signs."
These miracles, wonders and signs, are these the work of Christ by Himself? Apostle Peter explained, "...by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did by Him."
In other words, Christ is a man. If He had done any wonders, miracles and signs, these are not His own work, but the work of God. God did these things using Christ as instrument.
