Did Jesus really claim to be God?

There are some misguided people going around saying He never claimed to be God.Of course, anyone who has read the Bible knows this is a lie, and that the devil is a liar. And since they are trying to deceive you, they are of the devil.

If you really think Jesus never claimed to be God read this, then tell us why you can possibly still believe it.

    Thanks for posting the link, but I already know by reading the Bible that Jesus the Christ is God.

    Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

    I actual have been attempting to understand this and have been finding into issues. As i'm expertise it...all of them come from the comparable source, even us. Jesus and God walk at the same time as a unit. while Jesus died on the go and his physique lifted to heaven, he left his holy spirit in the back of. as quickly as we've the holy spirit, we function the extra healthful of armour that Jesus left us. Then as God and Jesus walk at the same time, he additionally walks with us as quickly as we've the holy spirit. God is God and he could be everywhere and everywhere at any time. I advise, think of approximately it...God made the excellent earth, heaven and all existence. we are his marvelous advent ever. As people, we seem on the international in a distinctive way. The spirit international works in a distinctive way and plenty extra promptly. that is confusing for us to work out because of the fact our fact of issues is plenty distinctive than theirs. they may be at your place and worldwide. that is confusing to describe truly. As all of us understand, scientists are additionally attempting to appreciate how dimensions artwork. one way they wanted to benefit it grow to be by potential of commencing the black hollow in outer area with that super magnetic equipment that they had equipped. I desire i ought to keep in mind the call of it, even nonetheless that is been a together as. there are a number of controversies over this nonetheless. One concern is the fact that in the event that they open it...we could lose gravity and be sucked in. Heaven isn't as a methods away as maximum think of that is. that is not any longer up in the clouds as some think of. we can by no potential have each and all the solutions till our day comes and we bypass. till then....i assume we can save finding for solutions.

    Oh My God! For common sense's sake remove this silly link you posted, because if any sane person reads it it would actually prove you wrong!!!

    Who God is is the most important concept in ANY religion, it should NEVER be vague, it should never be stated through "hints", it should never be open to interpretation, or subject to skepticism.

    Just the fact that "Jesus never said he was God" is a valid argument that makes you write pages trying to prove he was God says that your religion failed at the most important thing a religion is supposed to tell people.

    It says that John wrote Jesus was Son of God, never has jesus said in his own words "I am Son of God, or "I am God"

    But If he actually was wouldn't he have said it and stressed it over and over again??

    You should be able to find that statement everywhere in the Bible! But you don't.

    Once again I say, a very important piece of information such as that one would've been stated in very clear precise words, many many times.

    Skaggmo - I believe in the Bible.. do you have scriptures to go along with your claim?

    (2 Timothy 3:16) "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight" - Shouldn't we set things straight.. thru scripture?

    (Philippians 2:5-6) . . .Keep this mental attitude in YOU that was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.

    (Matthew 3:16-17) After being baptized Jesus immediately came up from the water; and, look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw descending like a dove God’s spirit coming upon him. 17 Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.”

    He wasn't speaking to himself.

    Jesus prayed to his Father (Luke 22:39-42) On going out he went as customarily to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him. 40 Having come to the place he said to them: “Carry on prayer, that YOU do not enter into temptation.” 41 And he himself drew away from them about a stone’s throw, and bent his knees and began to pray, 42 saying: “Father, if you wish, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, let, not my will, but yours take place.”

    (Matthew 16:13-17) Now when he had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus went asking his disciples: “Who are men saying the Son of man is?” 14 They said: “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them: “YOU, though, who do YOU say I am?” 16 In answer Simon Peter said: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 In response Jesus said to him: “Happy you are, Simon son of Jo′nah, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to you, but my Father who is in the heavens did."

    (Matthew 24:36) “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." This scripture disagrees with the teaching of the Trinity.. if they were the same being they would know the same information.. and the Holy Spirit is not mentioned.. because it is not a being with thought.. it is God's active force.

    John 1:1 :" In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god." One of Jesus titles was "The Word".. and he is sometimes called a "god" in the sense of being divine.

    (Matthew 19:5-6) . . ., ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh’? 6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart.”

    I'm married.. but when we got married and became "one flesh" we didn't literally become one person.. we are one in that our goals are the same.

    We each came off of the Main God Body (Jesus included) (the Bible God or Ruler, Commander, included, whoever that was) as non-physical, immortal, aware of being aware, Spiritual Beings (Gods) and decided to Be and I am forevermore, but Forgot...Like a large body of water produces mist, rain, fog, etc with different characteristics, life (Spiritual Beings, Nature, etc, came off the Main God Body with different Characteristics and freewill. The Main God Body or Father God is a whole different Reality with it's own characteristics and , as far as I know, has had little or nothing to do with our own Reality. We each are 100% Responsible for our own Reality...

    John10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? (non-physical, immortal, Spiritual Beings and not the physical human body we look at in a mirror)

    John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;(physical human body) and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.".(you as a non-physical, immortal, Spiritual Being).

    Luke 17:21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

    (you are a non-physical, immortal, Spiritual Being with a Spiritual Nature and Spiritual Native Reality, and are NOT the mortal, physical, human body being looked at in a mirror)

    I John 4:4 Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world (you as a Spiritual Being are senior to the human body, which the human body is of the physical world and you are not)

    Psalm 90:10The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

    (only the physical, mortal, human body dies and NOT you and me as non-physical, immortal, Spiritual Beings who "move on" after the human body dies)

    Well, he never came right out and said, "Worship me! I'm God!" But what he did say was that he and the Father were one, and he said "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!" So that pretty much clears that up, doesn't it?

    lol well all the gospels they trashed back in the third century said exactly that--the guys who decided what went in the bible knew what would sell better--your gospels arent any better or worse than the ones rejected--just the ones that fit in with the best sales promotion for the newly emerging religon.
