I don't know why people don't understand that Jesus was killed because the Jews thought He was claiming deity. And as a side point- If I am ever accused of a crime, I would want J. Warner Wallace on the case !
My first response would be to those asking where did Jesus say "I am God" would be that why would they want it in those specific words like a criteria to acknowledge his deity. Simply because if Jesus is not God then their question is irrelevant, and if Jesus is God then Jesus decides criteria and chooses His way to express Himself as God and then again human being's criteria is irrelevant.
So glad you did this video. Confession. I was one of those Christians who was confused by this. Ive even commented on yur videos in the past saying that Jesus never called Himself God. But a year ago I began praying about this and asking God to reveal to me the truth. About 5 months ago God showed me the truth. He pointed me to several Scriptures where I waa able to perceive Jesus anew. And this was great also confirmeing what Jesus pointed me to. Now its so clear I cant unsee it. Jesus is God. And as the Holy Spirit , the Comforter, lives inside me, all the time. Gods plan is so beautiful . The Holy Spirit in the OT would be given on occasion to support one being used by God. But because of Jesus, because God came as human, diee and was resurrected, the hily spirit is able to be with us all the time. That was Chriwts promise. I still find it sad thst the holy spirit and the gifts of the spirit are missing from most churches. It is Gods most precious gift to us thru Jesus.
One thing nobody has mentioned yet is when the paralytic man was brought to Jesus, Jesus said to him "Your sins are forgiven". Those among the crowd knew that only God had the power to forgive sins.
I don’t understand why whenever people talk about JC actually being God never refer to scriptures , to name but a few , such as JOHN 20:17 EPHESIANS 4:6 JOHN. 5:26 EPHESIANS 1:17 PHILIPPIANS 1:2 If we have the opportunity to be Christs brothers and joint heirs with him then, 1. We have the same God and Father as Jesus and 2. If he was God , how can he be an heir to inherit something . If he was God then he surely can’t inherit what already belongs to him . When he was given all authority, who gave it to him ? Many many questions if he is God
@tradeswithjohnnie No. Jesus IS God in human form. He is fully man and fully God. We don’t understand that as humans. We aren’t like God nor do we know what God really is. He is God
41¶Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” 43He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, 44¶“‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet”’? 45¶If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” 46And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.
While it side steps it by saying that the movie is not about Jesus but Brian, Monty Python's The Life of Brian is entirely about it. It plants the idea that "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy"
This is a very important topic. Thanks for covering this in its own video here. I run into this argument sometimes too and honestly haven't had much luck trying to answer the question.
Thank you. God grant me the ability to speak on this subject to the people in my life and Holy Spirit give me the words and the lessons learned from this video. Thank you Heavenly Father and I lift this prayer all in Jesus's name.
He said he was the son of man who is referred to in Daniel the one who rides on the cloud and comes to the ancient of days and receives the scroll and the pharisees said that he had blasphemed and that is why there crucified him
It was time for him to say there was a time. Peter said you are the christ the son of the living god. Jesus said what peter has said is true and know you know
John 14:8-9, "8-Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. 9-Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know Me, Philip? Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?"
The Greek word in HEBREWS 1:3 that corresponds to ‘exact representation’ when describing Jesus denotes a reproduction or exact copy . By definition it’s not the original . If you see an exact copy of something it’s like looking at the original but it’s not the original is it
I was that lost and wounded sheep , and HE healed me, saved me, gave me a new heart, wrote HIS law upon it. Now everything has changed from within. I am not the same. 🥹❤️🔥🙏 l am NOT THE SAME. PRAISE THE LORD, JESUS THE CHRIST!✝️🙌🌹🙏😭🕊
I enjoyed your presentation here. I believe that Jesus *IS* God who came down among us to be the propitiation of sin for humanity once and for all. He didn't *think* but rather He *knew* He was God. As you mentioned, Jesus never reprimanded those who fell down at His feet in worship for doing something for them. The opposite occurred with the angel who came to John in Revelation 22:9 that told him not to do that which is not proper for anyone to do. Jesus told the disciples that He and the Father were one, i.e. united and of one mind; that the Father was in Him and He in the Father. That in itself makes Him a part of the Godhead and coequal with the Father. Even though He emptied Himself of His glory before His incarnation into human form, He always put the Father first during His earthly ministry as an example of how we should live. Also He did not think it was robbery to be equal with the Father [Philippians 2:6]. Jesus also forgave sin, which only God can do, which also reinforces the fact that He is God in human flesh. He also declared that before Abraham lived, He existed, and that when Abraham saw His day, he rejoiced [John 8:56]. While praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus requested that the glory He shared with the Father before the world was made would be restored to Him [John 17:5] which shows He was God. While speaking with the Samaritan woman at the well, He came right out and declared that He was the promised Messiah.
In Matthew Mark and Luke we see that Jesus says "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.". I believe in the Trinity however this is sort of confusing.
No where in the scriptures do we find the expression God the Son, only the son of God and nowhere in the scriptures do we find the Father of God but only God the Father
Claiming to be the Son of God, was not anything Devine at that time, Adam and Solomon were called the Son of God, Jesus claimed to also be the Son of Man at his trial (Mat 26:64, Mrk 14:62, Luk 22:69, ), he was taking the title in Dan 7:13-14, which is a Devine title. Worthy of worship, given dominion of all forever and ever!
Jesus Christ called himself the only begotten son of God in John 3:16 and in the parable of the vinedressers in Matthew 21:33-41 Jesus distinguished his sonship to be unique. Referring to all prophets before him as servants, with him being the son to inherit his father's vineyard. And Christ said the father has given all judgment to the son (him) that all should honour him as they honour the father (John 5:22, 23.) David and the rest could never have said that about themselves.
Sorry, Jesus isn’t God, nor equal to God. He called our God and Father his God and Father at John 20:17. See also: 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 4 Now concerning the eating of food offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is no God but one. 5 For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” 6 there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him. And…… John 17:3 “This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.” The only true God…..
Moses told God, "Look, when I go to the Israelis and tell them, The God of your ancestors sent me to you, they ll say to me, What is his name? What should I say to them?" God replied to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM," and then said, "Tell the Israelis: I AM sent me to you. " Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you with certainty, before there was an Abraham, I AM!"
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. (John 8:57-58 KJV) (Emphasis added.) And He said "I AM" several other times in the gospels.
"I AM The Alef (power) and The Tav (sacrifice), The First and The Last; and no one comes to The Father, except through Me." "Let *US* make Adam in *OUR* image (shadow), and in *OUR* likeness (blood)." "Let *US* go down and confound their language." "In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with EL, and The Word was EL. The same was in the beginning with EL. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was The Life, and The Life was The Light of men." Psalm 110 The Father & The Son are ELohim.
The trinity makes Jesus very selfish, plus it makes the scriptures in the bible a liar as well. Jesus would have to send himself as John 17:3 says when he speaks of taking in accurate knowledge of God and the one you sent Jesus. He prays to himself. He does his own will even though he said otherwise. Even though the bible teaches that with evil God cannot be tempted. Yet he was suppose to be tempted by Satan when walking the earth. He keeps secrets from himself. He gives himself permission to give the visions and inspirations that he gave to John through and angel to write the book of revelations. He even worships himself as John 20:17 when Jesus addresses his father as his God. Anyone you call your god is the one that you worship and serve. The lord's prayer is off by a mile. It should say my name be sanctified and my will be done instead of his father's will because he is the father. It makes god like a person that is suffering from multiple personality disorder. 1.) Jesus never spoke as if he was one that spoke for god, as god's spokesman. I have a few interesting points to contend with that idea. Nathan the Prophet came into King David to expose his sin before all there. He started by talking about a case of a rich man and poor man. Telling David how poorly the rich man treated the poor man David was angry and said that rich man should die and pay back what he took according to the law. Then after telling David that he is the rich man in that story. Applying that story to what David did then he said this is what the lord said. Not before nor did he open with that line. Why did he for that brief moment think he was God, of course not. 2 Samuel 12th chapter. Acts 17:23 Paul had noticed that the people were devoted to serving a lot of different gods there was a statue to an unknown God. Paul used that to tell others about that Unknown God. But he didn't say that spot this is what that Unknown God said before proclaiming that he is telling them about this unknown God. Does this mean he was thinking that he is God. I have no doubt that if I look closely I would find many places where God's spokesmen done the same thing. Where they didn't always say this is what the lord said or what God has said. When being tempted by Satan Jesus said it is written three times then quoting from the old tempted by Satan. To me that is just as good as saying what you are saying. If you are given authority to speak as a spokesman of a King from another land. Are you gonna always say this is what the King says all of the time. Not likely, there are times when you will just say what the king told you to say to them. That is the way it is for Christ. 2.) Kneeling is not always an act of worship. If it were then in bible times even down to our day the people that would kneel before kings would be worshiping those men instead of just showing respect towards them. Then when a man gets on one knee to propose to his future wife he is worshiping her according to your way of thinking. When he isn't doing that at all. The word worship has other meanings. One is; "to regard with great or extravagant respect, honor, or devotion." Here think of a celebrity worshiped by their fans. Surly they don't think that celebrity is God. Even Peter said you are the Christ the son of the living God, Instead of say you are God the son or just you are God. 3.) Sure Jesus is from the realm above Heaven since he is the firstborn of all creation. The first and only being that God directly created. Then he created all other beings in heaven along with the universe and man afterward Sure he is higher than the angels because he is the archangel Michael which is chief of all angels. John 10:25-29 it teaches that Jesus was doing works in his father's name. If the trinity is true it should say that he was doing works in his name since he is suppose to be the father as well as the son and holy spirit. Verse 29 states that Jesus' father gave him his sheep and is above all. Jesus didn't make any exceptions which he would of if he thought he is God.
JESUS GOD and the Holy Spirit are one 3 persons 1 GOD HEAD❤ what do u think I AM means? THE JEWS KNEW GOD AS I AM AND JESUS SAYS (I AM) who is GOD THATS WHY THE JEWS WANTED TO KILL AND AND DID KILL HIM FOR blaspheming God because Jesus said I am several times which means I am God. Y’all need to do some Bible reading for yourselves and quit following people that don’t know what they’re talking about go to the Bible for yourself and God promises that he will reveal himself to you if you ask him and have faith❤
Jesus is not "only the son of God", he is the only begotten Son of God. There was never another like him. The gospel of John leaves no ambiguity that Jesus is God. But we can find it in the synoptics as well. Mr 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of THE LORD, make his paths straight. Quoted from Isaiah 40, the word for LORD there is YHVH. And again. Lu 1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of THE LORD to prepare his ways; 77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Mark 1:11 …, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? Mark 4:41 Mr 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Jesus is good, therefore, he is God. Matthew 1:20-23 …, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Mt 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? 6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. Mr 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? Jesus wasn't speaking blasphemies. Mr 2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. You can only blaspheme God, so what it Jesus saying here? Mr 14:61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? 64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. Mr 16:19 ¶ So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Ps 110:1 ¶ The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Mr 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in THE NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (YHVH) only one name. 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Lu 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ THE LORD. Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Lu 3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of THE LORD, make his paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Lu 6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. Who is the LORD of the sabbath? Who instituted it? Lu 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's Lu 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD [YHVH] the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD [YHVH] of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Re 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Re 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: Re 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 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. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Shalom Jim 🙏 Yes its a Shame some Christian don't acknowledge Yeshua for who he is , on the Great & Dreadfull day of the Lord they will hear ( *Depart from me i never Knew you* ) In the Opening Chapters it is Plain Yeshua is LORD In *MATTHEWS GOSPEL* it was Prophesied by Isaiah the Messiah would Come by a Virgin Birth *Isaiah 7:14/Isaiah 9:6* & Would be called Mighty GOD & *IMMANUEL* God is with Us (MATTHEW 1:20-23) In *MARKS GOSPEL* at His BAPTISM the Father delcares *This is my Son Whom i love & am Well Pleased* (Mark 1:10-13/24) Even the Demons were saying *Jesus we know who you are SON OF THE MOST HIGH* (Mark 1:24) In *LUKES GOSPEL* He is Foretold by The Angel Gabriel *Luke 1:31-37* (Isaiah 9:6/Isaiah 7:14) He will be Called *SON OF THE MOST HIGH* & *SON OF GOD* *In JOHNS GOSPEL* (John 1:1-14/18/29 He is the *WORD OF GOD* who was with GOD in the Begining , by his WORD everything was Created in the Heavens above & Earth .. In Verse 18 we read *No one has ever SEEN GOD* , but only the One & only SON *WHO IS HIMSELF GOD* & is the Closest relationship with the Father has made him know. And he Would be *THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD* (John 1:29) (This is all just taken from the 1st Chapters of the GOSPELS) 🕊 🕊 *AMEN Come Yeshua Ha-MaShiach* 🕊 🕊..
Jesus COULDN'T openly claim to be God. Back in that time, one person's testimony was considered untrue unless there were witnesses, usually two or more. If He announced that He was God without witnesses, people would have considered Him crazy and wouldn't have been compelled to follow Him. That's why He said, "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true." - John 5:31 (KJV). The one verse that convinced me is, "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him." - Colossians 1:16 (KJV). This is talking about Jesus. If Jesus created all things in heaven, then for Jesus to be separate from God would mean Jesus created God because God is in heaven. Since we know God wasn't created then the only conclusion is that they are one.
“I am the first and I am the last, and apart from me there is no God. Isaiah 46:6 (Old Testament) God speaking “Look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen. 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 22:7-8 (New Testament) Jesus speaking 12 “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” (New Testament) Jesus speaking
🚨 Anyone who doubts Jesus was God please read: 1. Isaiah 53, The Prophesy of Christ and His purpose. 2. Philippians 2:5-9, God Nd Jesus are one. Jesus come to earth as man to save us from sin. 3. Rev 22:13 Jesus called Himself God by calling Himself “Alpha & Omega” Rev 22:13 Only God’s Title is “Alpha & Omega” 4. Rev 5:11-13 Jesus Christ was not created. - All creation will worship God with (Jesus) the Lamb.
I don't know why people don't understand that Jesus was killed because the Jews thought He was claiming deity. And as a side point- If I am ever accused of a crime, I would want J. Warner Wallace on the case !
My first response would be to those asking where did Jesus say "I am God" would be that why would they want it in those specific words like a criteria to acknowledge his deity.

You may not know,but this videos help me personally a lot.You will receive a crown one day.Never stop posting.
I don’t understand why whenever people talk about JC actually being God never refer to scriptures , to name but a few , such as
JOHN 20:17
EPHESIANS 4:6
JOHN. 5:26
EPHESIANS 1:17
PHILIPPIANS 1:2
If we have the opportunity to be Christs brothers and joint heirs with him then, 1. We have the same God and Father as Jesus and 2. If he was God , how can he be an heir to inherit something . If he was God then he surely can’t inherit what already belongs to him . When he was given all authority, who gave it to him ? Many many questions if he is God
LORD is transtation of YHVH (HVHY). WHICH MEANS : the hand, behold, the nail (hook), behold.
“I and the Father are one” (John 10:30)
It could mean him and his father are in one household
@tradeswithjohnnie
No. Jesus IS God in human form. He is fully man and fully God. We don’t understand that as humans. We aren’t like God nor do we know what God really is. He is God
Great review of what Jesus obviously thought. I'm really getting a lot out of your videos. I'll be looking for your book soon too.
41¶Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
42saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.”
43He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,
44¶“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet”’?
45¶If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
46And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.
Rock island books has a program explaining the meaning of HVHY from original Hebrew written language used in Egypt.
Jesus didn’t have to think he was God, he was and is God!
Such an important topic to know and understand. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
While it side steps it by saying that the movie is not about Jesus but Brian, Monty Python's The Life of Brian is entirely about it. It plants the idea that "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy"
This is a very important topic. Thanks for covering this in its own video here. I run into this argument sometimes too and honestly haven't had much luck trying to answer the question.
If he was merely a good rabbi, why would the Jewish folk want him dead?
If Jesus thought he was God why would he pray to himself ?
To show as an example to the rest of us also god the father still lived in the heavens it was god Jesus praying to god the father.
Thank you. God grant me the ability to speak on this subject to the people in my life and Holy Spirit give me the words and the lessons learned from this video.
Thank you Heavenly Father and I lift this prayer all in Jesus's name.
He said he was the son of man who is referred to in Daniel the one who rides on the cloud and comes to the ancient of days and receives the scroll and the pharisees said that he had blasphemed and that is why there crucified him
Jesus was the Son of God. That means He was God. And there are many places in the bible where it is stated.
It was time for him to say there was a time. Peter said you are the christ the son of the living god. Jesus said what peter has said is true and know you know
Joh 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”
John 14:8-9, "8-Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. 9-Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know Me, Philip? Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?"
The Greek word in HEBREWS 1:3 that corresponds to ‘exact representation’ when describing Jesus denotes a reproduction or exact copy . By definition it’s not the original . If you see an exact copy of something it’s like looking at the original but it’s not the original is it
THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT ONE
Thanks for your hard work to spread the gospel.
This is a concise, helpful video to allow us to more efficiently form our thoughts and give a quicker response, thank you!
I also use Luke 15:1-7 ‘cause it relates to Ezequiel 34 👍🏼 thank you for sharing this 🙌🏼🙏🏼
I was that lost and wounded sheep , and HE healed me, saved me, gave me a new heart, wrote HIS law upon it.
Now everything has changed from within. I am not the same. 🥹❤️🔥🙏 l am NOT THE SAME. PRAISE THE LORD, JESUS THE CHRIST!✝️🙌🌹🙏😭🕊
I enjoyed your presentation here. I believe that Jesus *IS* God who came down among us to be the propitiation of sin for humanity once and for all. He didn't *think* but rather He *knew* He was God.

That in itself makes Him a part of the Godhead and coequal with the Father. Even though He emptied Himself of His glory before His incarnation into human form, He always put the Father first during His earthly ministry as an example of how we should live. Also He did not think it was robbery to be equal with the Father [Philippians 2:6].
Jesus also forgave sin, which only God can do, which also reinforces the fact that He is God in human flesh.
He also declared that before Abraham lived, He existed, and that when Abraham saw His day, he rejoiced [John 8:56].
While praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus requested that the glory He shared with the Father before the world was made would be restored to Him [John 17:5] which shows He was God. While speaking with the Samaritan woman at the well, He came right out and declared that He was the promised Messiah.
In Matthew Mark and Luke we see that Jesus says "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.". I believe in the Trinity however this is sort of confusing.
Could this not be Jesus suggesting that he is God?
No where in the scriptures do we find the expression God the Son, only the son of God and nowhere in the scriptures do we find the Father of God but only God the Father
Jesus called Himself the good Shepherd. 🙏🌹
Claiming to be the Son of God, was not anything Devine at that time, Adam and Solomon were called the Son of God, Jesus claimed to also be the Son of Man at his trial (Mat 26:64, Mrk 14:62, Luk 22:69, ), he was taking the title in Dan 7:13-14, which is a Devine title. Worthy of worship, given dominion of all forever and ever!
Jesus Christ called himself the only begotten son of God in John 3:16 and in the parable of the vinedressers in Matthew 21:33-41 Jesus distinguished his sonship to be unique. Referring to all prophets before him as servants, with him being the son to inherit his father's vineyard. And Christ said the father has given all judgment to the son (him) that all should honour him as they honour the father (John 5:22, 23.) David and the rest could never have said that about themselves.
Sorry, Jesus isn’t God, nor equal to God. He called our God and Father his God and Father at John 20:17.

1 Corinthians 8:4-6
4 Now concerning the eating of food offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is no God but one. 5 For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” 6 there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.
And……
John 17:3 “This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.”
The only true God…..
Yes me and the father are one and the same wow john 10/30
When nrought before Pilate the Jews said HE should die because Jesus said HE was Gods son
Moses told God, "Look, when I go to the Israelis and tell them, The God of your ancestors sent me to you, they ll say to me, What is his name? What should I say to them?" God replied to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM," and then said, "Tell the Israelis: I AM sent me to you. "
Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you with certainty, before there was an Abraham, I AM!"
Yes he did IAM and said danial 7 and you will see the son of man sitting on the right side of the power well that was blasphemy
The very reason they condemned Him to death was because He said He was God, which they considered blasphemy.
No it’s because he said he was Gods Son, claiming to be divine in nature
Think of the trinity as a clover. One leaf is God, one leaf is Jesus and one is the Holy Spirit. All three parts make one.
god
You really SHOULD read 1 John 1:1-13 dude. Jesus CLEARY states he IS God here.
Jesus doesn't have to think about who he is he knows he said my father and I are one let that sink in.
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. (John 8:57-58 KJV) (Emphasis added.) And He said "I AM" several other times in the gospels.
Any king who has to say "I am the king" is no true king
"I AM The Alef (power) and The Tav (sacrifice), The First and The Last; and no one comes to The Father, except through Me."
"Let *US* make Adam in *OUR* image (shadow), and in *OUR* likeness (blood)."
"Let *US* go down and confound their language."
"In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with EL, and The Word was EL. The same was in the beginning with EL. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was The Life, and The Life was The Light of men."
Psalm 110
The Father & The Son are ELohim.
Amen brother, keep preaching the truth. Hallelujah, praise the lord. God bless you.
Jesus is God and He knew it!
The trinity makes Jesus very selfish, plus it makes the scriptures in the bible a liar as well. Jesus would have to send himself as John 17:3 says when he speaks of taking in accurate knowledge of God and the one you sent Jesus. He prays to himself. He does his own will even though he said otherwise. Even though the bible teaches that with evil God cannot be tempted. Yet he was suppose to be tempted by Satan when walking the earth. He keeps secrets from himself. He gives himself permission to give the visions and inspirations that he gave to John through and angel to write the book of revelations. He even worships himself as John 20:17 when Jesus addresses his father as his God. Anyone you call your god is the one that you worship and serve. The lord's prayer is off by a mile. It should say my name be sanctified and my will be done instead of his father's will because he is the father. It makes god like a person that is suffering from multiple personality disorder.
1.) Jesus never spoke as if he was one that spoke for god, as god's spokesman. I have a few interesting points to contend with that idea. Nathan the Prophet came into King David to expose his sin before all there. He started by talking about a case of a rich man and poor man. Telling David how poorly the rich man treated the poor man David was angry and said that rich man should die and pay back what he took according to the law. Then after telling David that he is the rich man in that story. Applying that story to what David did then he said this is what the lord said. Not before nor did he open with that line. Why did he for that brief moment think he was God, of course not. 2 Samuel 12th chapter. Acts 17:23 Paul had noticed that the people were devoted to serving a lot of different gods there was a statue to an unknown God. Paul used that to tell others about that Unknown God. But he didn't say that spot this is what that Unknown God said before proclaiming that he is telling them about this unknown God. Does this mean he was thinking that he is God. I have no doubt that if I look closely I would find many places where God's spokesmen done the same thing. Where they didn't always say this is what the lord said or what God has said.
When being tempted by Satan Jesus said it is written three times then quoting from the old tempted by Satan. To me that is just as good as saying what you are saying.
If you are given authority to speak as a spokesman of a King from another land. Are you gonna always say this is what the King says all of the time. Not likely, there are times when you will just say what the king told you to say to them. That is the way it is for Christ.
2.) Kneeling is not always an act of worship. If it were then in bible times even down to our day the people that would kneel before kings would be worshiping those men instead of just showing respect towards them. Then when a man gets on one knee to propose to his future wife he is worshiping her according to your way of thinking. When he isn't doing that at all. The word worship has other meanings. One is; "to regard with great or extravagant respect, honor, or devotion." Here think of a celebrity worshiped by their fans. Surly they don't think that celebrity is God. Even Peter said you are the Christ the son of the living God, Instead of say you are God the son or just you are God.
3.) Sure Jesus is from the realm above Heaven since he is the firstborn of all creation. The first and only being that God directly created. Then he created all other beings in heaven along with the universe and man afterward Sure he is higher than the angels because he is the archangel Michael which is chief of all angels. John 10:25-29 it teaches that Jesus was doing works in his father's name. If the trinity is true it should say that he was doing works in his name since he is suppose to be the father as well as the son and holy spirit. Verse 29 states that Jesus' father gave him his sheep and is above all. Jesus didn't make any exceptions which he would of if he thought he is God.
JESUS GOD and the Holy Spirit are one 3 persons 1 GOD HEAD❤ what do u think I AM means? THE JEWS KNEW GOD AS I AM AND JESUS SAYS (I AM) who is GOD THATS WHY THE JEWS WANTED TO KILL AND AND DID KILL HIM FOR blaspheming God because Jesus said I am several times which means I am God. Y’all need to do some Bible reading for yourselves and quit following people that don’t know what they’re talking about go to the Bible for yourself and God promises that he will reveal himself to you if you ask him and have faith❤
Yep
If Jesus was not God the religious authorities would have succeeded in removing Him or punishing Him before Calvary. 2024 Jan 27 comment.
Jesus is not "only the son of God", he is the only begotten Son of God. There was never another like him. The gospel of John leaves no ambiguity that Jesus is God. But we can find it in the synoptics as well.
Mr 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of THE LORD, make his paths straight.
Quoted from Isaiah 40, the word for LORD there is YHVH. And again.
Lu 1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of THE LORD to prepare his ways;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Mark 1:11
…, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? Mark 4:41
Mr 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
Jesus is good, therefore, he is God.
Matthew 1:20-23 …, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Mt 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
Mr 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
Jesus wasn't speaking blasphemies.
Mr 2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
You can only blaspheme God, so what it Jesus saying here?
Mr 14:61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
Mr 16:19 ¶ So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
Ps 110:1 ¶ The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Mr 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son?
Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in THE NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
(YHVH) only one name.
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Lu 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ THE LORD.
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Lu 3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of THE LORD, make his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Lu 6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Who is the LORD of the sabbath? Who instituted it?
Lu 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's
Lu 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD [YHVH] the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD [YHVH] of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Re 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Re 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last:
Re 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 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.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Jesus said enough to prove that he was God and the Jews knew it.

Jesus COULDN'T openly claim to be God. Back in that time, one person's testimony was considered untrue unless there were witnesses, usually two or more. If He announced that He was God without witnesses, people would have considered Him crazy and wouldn't have been compelled to follow Him. That's why He said, "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true." - John 5:31 (KJV). The one verse that convinced me is, "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him." - Colossians 1:16 (KJV). This is talking about Jesus. If Jesus created all things in heaven, then for Jesus to be separate from God would mean Jesus created God because God is in heaven. Since we know God wasn't created then the only conclusion is that they are one.
“I am the first and I am the last,
and apart from me there is no God.
Isaiah 46:6 (Old Testament)
God speaking
“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”
and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”
So shall it be! Amen.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Revelation 22:7-8
(New Testament)
Jesus speaking
12 “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
(New Testament)
Jesus speaking
🚨 Anyone who doubts Jesus was God please read:
1. Isaiah 53, The Prophesy of Christ and His purpose.
2. Philippians 2:5-9, God Nd Jesus are one. Jesus come to earth as man to save us from sin.
3. Rev 22:13 Jesus called Himself God by calling Himself “Alpha & Omega”
Rev 22:13 Only God’s Title is “Alpha & Omega”
4. Rev 5:11-13 Jesus Christ was not created. - All creation will worship God with (Jesus) the Lamb.
