Did Jesus ever claim to be God?

Answer 1

he didnt, he knew he had the potentials of being a man only.

Answer 2

Curious, in three-fourths of the gospels Jesus makes no such claims. The closest claim is to "son of man" "right hand of god" status which would make him a messiah - which is to say another Abraham or Moses (and would have been considered blasphemy).

Whatever way you look at it - in three-fourths of the gospels, in the earliest three gospels, in the first gospel, in the two gospels based on the sayings of Jesus - nobody made the claim. Only in the last gospel, written at a time when Roman emperors were being declared gods, did the whole god thing supersede the basic new Abraham, new Moses, messiah thing.

Changing times require changing facts.

Answer 5

Jesus said you seen me you seen the Father, was he was saying that he was with Jehovah from the beginning that he knows he Father real well. my daughter looks like me, but she is not me. Jesus said that he cannot do anything without the Father in the Heaven. he is sitting at the right hand of Jehovah. he never said he was God, so anyone who says that Jesus said he was God is lying. he always said he was the son of God, even the 12 that Jesus was with said he was the son of God Jehovah. Jesus also said that the Father is greater then he is. www.watchtower.org

Answer 6

The Pharisees were with him when he did:

Mat 26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

Mat 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Mat 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

You can't be accused of blasphemy for claiming to be a man.

Answer 7

No__Jesus never claimed to be Almighty God. Jesus and his Father Jehovah are two different spirit persons, but are united in their thinking and are in full accord with each other. At GENESIS 2:24 consider what God says regarding a marriage--" Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Notice, it says one flesh---when a man takes a wife, does that mean that the husband is also the wife in the same body? No, of course not, but that is how people think of God and his Son. When the Bible says that God and Jesus are "one" it means they are separate, yet in agreement with each other.
Jesus said this in prayer to his Father in heaven at JOHN 17:11--
"And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are."
Jesus was praying about his disciples, that they would be "one" just as he and God were "one"
Did the disciples actually become one person or were they one in unity?
No matter how you try to reason with Trinitarians, they cannot seem to grasp the truth about who the true God really is. They insist on worshipping a triad of Gods. Jesus is the mediator between us and Jehovah God (PSALM 83:18).
Jesus was exalted to be a Prince and Saviour as stated at ACTS 5:31--"Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."
JOHN 5:30--"I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me." ( Almighty god can do anything, proving that Jesus is not God)
1 CORINTHIANS 15:24--" After that the end will come, when he will turn the Kingdom over to God the Father, having destroyed every ruler and authority and power." (Jesus, after his thousand year reign over the earth, will then give the rulershipship back to Jehovah, to whom it rightly belongs. All human ruled governments will have been destroyed)
ISAIAH 40:18--"To whom can you compare God? What image can you find to resemble him? (N.L.T)
Isaiah 40:25--" To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal to him? saith the Holy One." (Jehovah has no equal)
LUKE 1:32--" He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David." (Jesus does not give himself the throne--Jehovah gives it to him)

Answer 8

No. He said at John 14:28, "the Father is greater than I am". Even the Jews at that time said, "We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself God’s son.” Jesus always drew attention to his Father Jehovah as being the one who gave him his powers to perform miracles.

Answer 9

All the scriptures you hear about him saying he is, are just taken wrong. He only mentioned once he was god and to a small group the day before his death. I remember this mostly because I watched an 2 hour show about him a few days ago and they happened to bring this up.

Answer 10

No,

He sits at the right hand of the Father. There is a Hindu God-Head concept that is growing in popularity, apparently saving the world and being the Son of God is not enough for some people.

Answer 11

First, turn to Exodus 3, where Moses encounters God in the burning bush. God tells Moses that he is the one He has chosen to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses says to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me 'What is His name?' Then what shall I tell them?" God replies to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'" God has said that His own name, His personal name, is "I AM."
Now...

a) Turn to John 8:56-58. Jesus is talking to the unbelieving Jews. "Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing My day; he saw it and was glad." "You are not yet 50 years old," they said to Him, "and you have seen Abraham?" "I tell you the truth," Jesus announced, "before Abraham was, I AM!" Jesus was the great I AM from before the beginning of time; He existed before Abraham ever was. He is claiming here to be the I AM of the Old Testament. Verse 59 says the Jews picked up stones to stone Him, but the Lord Jesus slipped away. The reason they wanted to stone Him was because stoning was the death penalty for blasphemy. He was claiming to be Yahweh--Jehovah--Almighty God--I AM. (Of course, it wasn't blasphemy when Christ claimed to be who He truly was!)

b) John 8:24. "I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I AM, you will indeed die in your sins." In your Bible, it may read "if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be...." The extra words are supplied by the editors; they're not in the original text. If you're familiar with Exodus 3 you don't need the extra words for it to make grammatical sense. The Lord Jesus is again claiming to be God.

c) John 18:4. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Judas and some priests and soldiers are about to take Jesus prisoner. "Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to Him, went out and asked them, 'Who is it that you want?' 'Jesus of Nazareth,' they replied. 'I AM,' Jesus said. When He said, 'I AM,' they drew back and fell to the ground." (Again, in your Bible the editors may have supplied "I am [he]" to make it grammatically correct. The Greek just says, "I AM.")
