Answer 1

PROOF THAT JESUS IS GOD
John 1:1 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

John 1:14 - "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."

John 5:18 - "For this cause therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God."

John 8:24 - "I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins."

Note: In the Greek, "He" is not there.

John 8:58 - "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.'"

Exodus 3:14 - "And God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM'; and He said, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’"

John 10:30-33 - "I and the Father are one." 31The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" 33The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God."

John 20:28 - "Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

Col. 2:9 - "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form."

Phil. 2:5-8 - "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, 11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Heb. 1:8 - "But of the Son He says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom."

Quoted from Psalm 45:6, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Thy kingdom."

Jesus is worshipped - Jesus said to worship God only, yet He receives worship.

Matt. 4:10 - "Then Jesus *said to him, 'Begone, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only."’"

Matt. 2:2 - "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east, and have come to worship Him."

Matt. 2:11 - "And they came into the house and saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell down and worshiped Him; and opening their treasures they presented to Him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh."

Matt. 14:33 - "And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, "You are certainly God’s Son!"

Matt. 28:9 - "And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him."

John 9:35-38 - "Jesus heard that they had put him out; and finding him, He said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" 36He answered and said, "And who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?" 37Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you." 38 And he said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped Him."

Heb. 1:6 - "And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, 'And let all the angels of God worship Him.'"

Jesus is prayed to

Acts 7:55-60 - "But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; 56 and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." 57But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears, and they rushed upon him with one impulse. 58And when they had driven him out of the city, they began stoning him, and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59And they went on stoning Stephen as he called upon the Lord and said, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!" 60And falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them!" And having said this, he fell asleep."

1 Cor. 1:1-2 - "Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours." (The phrase, "to call upon the name of the Lord" is a phrase used to designate prayer.)

1 Kings 18:24 - "Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord, and the God who answers by fire, He is God." And all the people answered and said, "That is a good idea."

Zech. 13:9 - "And I will bring the third part through the fire, refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’"

Rom. 10:13-14 - "for 'whoever will call upon the name of the Lord' will be saved." 14 How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard?" (Paul is speaking of calling upon Jesus. (The phrase "Call upon the name of the Lord" is a quote from Joel 2:32).

Joel 2:32 - "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call." (LORD here is YHWH, the name of God as revealed in Exodus 3:14. Therefore, this quote, dealing with God Himself is attributed to Jesus.)

First and Last

Isaiah 44:6 - "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me."

Rev. 1:17 - "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, 18and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades."

Answer 2

True Christians, know, who their God is and his name, who Jesus the son of God Jehovah is, they never claim that Jesus is God, because they know the truth, They know and respect Jesus in the right way not as God Almighty, in human form, but as God's messianic king, You are wrong in saying that Jesus turned people away from Jehovah, he did not, he actually Proclaimed and taugh theName of God and preached about him, in his ministry he did not hold back in proclaiming the name Jehovah or from using his Fathers name at all just take a look at Jesus model prayer that he modelled to his disciples in the sermon on the mount, the first concern Jesus had there was in the sanctifying the Name of God holding it holy then after making God's name known and holding it holy other things, like let your will take place on earth as it is in heaven was what he prayed for, this is what True Christians try to do to, and are doing world wide even today they are proclaiming the name of God not Jesus that's why some have claimed that these true Christians do not believe in Jesus, but that is not the case True Christians only Worship the true God Jehovah and not his Son Jesus Christ. It is true there is only one true God whose name is Jehovah, but it is also true there are many false gods and among those false gods is Satan who is misleading people all over the world into worshipinh him as their god (2Corrinthians4:4) with false doctrines and many religions that are really his in opposition to the true God Jehovah, Yes Jehovah will forgive any person if they repent and turn away from their sinful course of following their unknowwn gods and turn to his truth found in his word the Bible, yes Jehovah is jealous, hewill not share his Godship with any manmade gods he will not allow this to go on forever he will soon remove all those so called gods and their followers, and reclaim the worship that is only trully his in the first place, this is a natural thing to not like other gods that are not even gods to be receiving the honor and worship that rightfully is Jehovah's anyway

Answer 3

Your spelling is (interesting)JEHOVAH Is the english spelling.But
maybe you know something I dont! At any rate,Jehovah God does
indeed Demand Exclusive devotion....And rightly so..He created all
things,and all things exist because of him.So ergo..hence and thus!
we (humans)owe our very existance to him.Its really funny,we think
we are so smart,and are just about the only thing going on.....but
the fact is we are less than ants in the whole scheme of things.If
you will;consider the vast universe,billions of stars,trillions of
miles in this amazing galxie, and who knows how many more?
I really appreciate the Scripture at 1Cor.3:18,19. I quote; "Let no
one be seducing himself,If anyone among you thinks he is wise
in this system of things,let him become a fool, that he may be-
come wise.----For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with
God;for it is written:"He catches the wise in their on cunning."Of
course I think you are just.funin me,but thats ok.I answered from the Scriptures............

Answer 4

in accordance to the Trinity doctrine, Jesus is God, yet a separate human being from the daddy. The doctrine teaches that there are 3 separate persons -- the daddy, The Son and The Holy Spirit -- who all contain one God. If this practise is authentic, there might want to no longer be any scripture contained in the Bible that portrays Jesus as an entity separate and distinct from God -- separate and distinct from the daddy, sure; yet no longer separate and distinct from God. by way of evaluation, be conscious that there is not any scripture contained in the Bible that portrays the daddy as a separate and distinct entity from God. it will be completely ridiculous, confusing, unnecessary and contradictory for the Bible to many times communicate over with Jesus as an entity separate and distinct from God, if Jesus is God. although the scriptures you quoted do precisely that. many times they communicate of Jesus being on the right hand of, no longer the daddy, yet God, therefore contradicting the Trinity doctrine. because the Bible is God's recognize actuality, the actual incontrovertible actuality that it so commonly contradicts the Trinity doctrine can advise purely one element -- the Trinity doctrine is pretend. (John 17:17) i believe -- because i believe maximum folk have a minimum of a modicum of intelligence -- that deep down, many Trinitarians comprehend that the doctrine is pretend. yet pride and/or a favor to fit in with the 'Christian' crowd compels them to play alongside, pretending or convincing themselves that they believe it. Many are therefore in a state of denial about this falsehood. purely seem at how they answer the question. Many gained't even handle the certain situation you've raised, head on -- because they could't. Their purely option is to ignore it and quote different so referred to as 'information texts'. this isn't because they lack intelligence. that's because there is not any credible and passable argument to disprove what the Bible -- God's authoritative recognize actuality -- very blatantly shows.

Answer 5

Jesus said I and My Father are one. No man come to the Father but by Me.
For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

Answer 6

True Christians never worshiped Jesus. They are well aware that Jehovah is the ONLY true God. (John 17:3) They know the Bible say he is the Most High. (Ps. 83:18) At Luke 4:8, Jesus told the devil: "It is written, `It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him ALONE you must render sacred service."

So, true Christians know exactly who their worship goes to. Jehovah

Answer 7

Jesus is God...you honor Jesus, you're honoring God.

edit* Nice post Bigmoney and others...

Answer 8

JESUS is our mediator between us and GOD...

GOD is the FATHER... JESUS is the Word, through whom all things were made from the FATHER through JESUS it was "spoken".

We dont worship JESUS CHRIST, we pay HIM homage as the SON of GOD...As is HIS right!

All will come through JESUS CHRIST to see the FATHER... So, be thankful that HE is our Saviour...

I wish you well..

Jesse

Answer 9

Answer 11
