Is Jesus God or a prophet?

Question

Did he say in the bible that he was God? If he did provide one single verse .

Everyone talks about Jesus Miracles, well almost all the prophets performed miracles

"I and the father are one" needs to be read in its context, go few verses back and you'll understand that was an answer to a missunderstanding and he has no meaning that Jesus Is God.

Answer 1

Well the way I've always understood it. Christians believe Jesus was God and the Jewish believe he was just a prophet.

Answer 2

Hello friend,
Forgive me, but your question seems to have a tone of confrontation rather than a heart that desires to learn.
If you would like to really know that Jesus is God and a Prophet, there is ample evidence in God's Book if you are willing to accept it.
But friend, you will not come to that understanding just using your human intellect. As I have stated elsewhere, the Bible is a spiritual Book and can ONLY be understood with God's help.
Please read 1 Cor. 2:14.
One passage for you to ponder might be Hebrews 1:8-10. But again, open the door to your heart anytime and every time you open God's Word, or else they are just words on a page.
Blessings,
2 Tim 2:7

Answer 3

Do we have only those two choices. Maybe Jesus was an enlightened being who came to the earth to show us how to live. Or maybe he is the son of God, but not God himself.

There is a place where he says "I and my father, meaning God, are one." Some people use this verse to argue that Jesus is God. But I have, on occasion, said , when we are in complete agreement, My husband and I are one. Certainly doesn't mean we are the same person.

I think it's all a matter of faith and belief. Personally, I believe that God is an absolute unity, and I cannot accept the Christian trinity. But you have to believe what makes sense to you. In the end, you live with your own conscience.

Answer 4

Jesus was a leader of a revolution called christianity. Not a God, or a Prophet. He is just a man of words who thought he could change the world for the better by threatning people into believing in God and that he was God's son.

Answer 5

The Gospel according to John 1:1 and 1:14
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
1:14 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." Actually you should read all of John chapter 1.

Answer 6

John 10:30 I and the Father are one

Answer 7

Actually, neither.
I can not answer the second part of your question because I haven't read the bible nor do I care to, as it was NOT written by Jesus, and it was written hundreds of years after the fact.
Anyway, Jesus was a mortal man who came from a spiritual background - Gnostics - who wanted people on earth to live and love, not conquer and destroy, very similiar to the Native Indians.

Answer 8

Joh 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

I am - The expression I am, though in the present tense, is clearly designed to refer to a past time. Thus, in Psa_90:2, “From everlasting to everlasting thou art God.” Applied to God, it denotes continued existence without respect to time, so far as he is concerned. We divide time into the past, the present, and the future. The expression, applied to God, denotes that he does not measure his existence in this manner, but that the word by which we express the present denotes his continued and unchanging existence. Hence, he assumes it as his name, “I AM,” and “I AM that I AM,” Exo_3:14. Compare Isa_44:6; Isa_47:8. There is a remarkable similarity between the expression employed by Jesus in this place and that used in Exodus to denote the name of God. The manner in which Jesus used it would strikingly suggest the application of the same language to God. The question here was about his pre-existence. The objection of the Jews was that he was not 50 years old, and could not, therefore, have seen Abraham. Jesus replied to that that he existed before Abraham. As in his human nature he was not yet 50 years old, and could not, as a man, have existed before Abraham, this declaration must be referred to another nature; and the passage proves that, while he was a man, he was also endowed with another nature existing before Abraham, and to which he applied the term (familiar to the Jews as expressive of the existence of God) I AM; and this declaration corresponds to the affirmation of John Joh_1:1, that he was in the beginning with God, and was God. This affirmation of Jesus is one of the proofs on which John relies to prove that he was the Messiah Joh_20:31, to establish which was the design of writing this book.

Answer 9

John 1:1-5

The Word Became Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood[a] it.

Colossians 1:16-19

16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him

Hebrews 1:8

8But about the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.

Answer 10

No he is a prophet like Abraham Joseph, David, Moses, Ishmail, Mohammad, Isac..

Please don't say " I and the father are one", because you've got read that verse in its context it was an answer to a missunderstanding and it does not mean that Jesus is God.


WORDS


Joh 7:16 Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His
who sent Me.


Joh 14:24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word
which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.



Joh 12:49 "For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who
sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.


WILL


Joh 4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent
me, and to accomplish his work.


Joh 6:38 "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but
the will of Him who sent Me.



Lu 22:42 saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me;
nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."



POWER


Joh 5:30 "I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment
is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the
Father who sent Me.


Joh 8:42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me,
for I proceeded and came forth from God; I came not of my own accord,
but he sent me.


KNOWLEDGE


Mr 13:32 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.


Mt 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of
heaven, but My Father only.


Joh 7:16 So Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who

kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.


Mr 10:18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good
but God alone.


8:50 "And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.


Some Christians, (not all) claim that Jesus implied that he was God. From the above verses, we
see that Jesus denied being God. It now leaves the Christians who believe Jesus is God to provide
just one single verse in the Bible where Jesus says "I am God". There is no such verse, so we see from
the many quotes above, that the House did not belong to Jesus, it belonged to the ONE WHO
SENT him.
