Jesus never claimed to be God. Never did he say "I am God so worship only me." Never did Jesus say " pray to me"
Never did he say "I sent myself to earth to do my own will and not the will of my Father"
Never did he say " I am a beloved Son and I begot myself and I approve of myself"
When you examine the truth of what the Bible really teaches, you can clearly see that Jesus is not Almighty God and never will be. Jesus is our reigning King and Prince of Peace.

God is not shy to say "I am God" and if Jesus is God, then how come Jesus never said it once like the God of the Old Testament? Jesus is never recorded in the Bible as saying the exact words, “I am God.” Is this a coincidence?
How many gods does God say there are? Scriptures that show there is only one God and it is written,
"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me." Isa 46:9
It is written, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord thy God is one Lord." Deuteronomy 6:4
A 3 person god was not the God of the Israelites nor was a 3 person being the God of Jesus Christ. Neither the Jews and Jesus, knew nothing about serving a 3 person God.
The Israelite God was a one God. Jesus is an Israelite, also served a one God, his father. YAHWEH identifies Himself in singular person terminology and as the Father of His Chosen People. Christianity as the true heir of Judaism and as a truly monotheistic belief.

Jesus was God- remember the Holy Trinity- Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He died for our sins then rose from the dead on the 3rd day. At least that is what Catholics believe. Merry Christmas!

One theory puts forth that it was not actually Jesus that was crucified but a stand in. Jesus' tomb was supposedly on private land and as a criminal he would not have been able to be buried like that. So he "rose from the dead" by coming out of hiding before travelling with Mary Magdeline (his wife) to France where the Merovingian bloodline was started.

I believe that this shows Jesus to be God. But I can only show this through the Bible. I can come near to proving that God exists. I think it's best to start there and then introduce Jesus as that God... Jim

Jesus never claimed to be God. Look it up. Others claimed that Jesus was God but Jesus called himself son of man.

no, Jesus claims to be the son of god, not god. there's a different.I though that Jesus did the right thing to do good things for us so we can live a better life and to not go to hell too. it's our own choice to choose to do what we want to do.

Jesus never claimed to be God
Phillipians2:5-7 (5) 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. (7) No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and came to be in the likeness of men.
Matth. 16:16 In answer Simon Peter said: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
John 8:32 and YOU will know the truth, and the truth will set YOU free
John 10:36 do YOU say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, I am God’s Son
John 14:28 YOU heard that I said to YOU, I am going away and I am coming [back] to YOU. If YOU loved me, YOU would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.
John 20:17 Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me. For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and YOUR Father and to my God and YOUR God
Jesus is a mighty God
Isiah 9:6 For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace
Not like the Father who is God Almighty
Gen17:1 When A´bram got to be ninety-nine years old, then Jehovah appeared to A´bram and said to him: “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and prove yourself faultless
There is only one God the Father Jehovah, Thru the ransom sacrifice that Jehovah God allowed--his son to die a perfect death so that we all can be forgiven of our sins. Thru Jesus name we pray.
1 Corinthians 8:6 there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him.
So, if Jesus was God then how is it possible that God created him? Jesus was Jehovah God's first creation, So, Jesus did not create the Almighty God he is the Son of God.
Colossians1:13-17 (13) He delivered us from the authority of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, (14) by means of whom we have our release by ransom, the forgiveness of our sins.
(15) He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; (16) because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. (17) Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist,
God talks about his son
Matthew 3:17 Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.”
Jesus said, "the father is greater than I am"
John 14:28 YOU heard that I said to YOU, I am going away and I am coming [back] to YOU. If YOU loved me, YOU would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
Paul stated--
1 Corinth. 11:3 But I want YOU to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God
Jesus does not know when the world is going to come to an end only the Father knows---This also shows that Jesus is not equal to the Father--So a Trinity is not correct.....Only the Father knows if Jesus was the Almighty God then he would know everything..
Mark 13:32 “Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father
God was talking to Jesus-- He wasn't talking to himself--Jesus was his first creation...
Gen. 1: 26 And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth
