Where in Bible does Jesus say (unambiguously) that he is god ?

Question

In ISAIAH 46:9, God (whom Jesus worshipped) says

"Remember what I accomplished in antiquity!

Truly I am God, I have no peer

I am God, and there is none like me"

Then how can Christians say that Jesus is god ?

Answer 1

No where, it is a conspiracy of a person who wanted to distort faith of followers of Holy Prophet Jesus(pbuh).

Answer 2

The Jews of the time didn't think it was unambiguous, that's why they kept trying to arrest Him and finally did sentence Him to death. Here are some unambiguous indicators from a Jewish context:

He accepted worship from people, which only God could do.

He forgave sins, which only God could do.

He said He had come down from heaven and that no one else had.

He claimed to be "one with" God and called God His "Father," which no Jew had ever done.

He claimed authority over the angels.

He called Himself the "son of man," which was a divine, messianic title from way back.

He used "I am" saying like, "before Abraham was, I am." The name of God can be translated to "I am."

His immediate students, the Apostles, took Him to be teaching this doctrine. If they are wrong then Jesus was either a bad teacher or the Apostles died for something they knew was a lie. People often die for a lie that they think is true, but they don't passively die for what they know is a lie (they may kill for it though).

Some of the confusion here can be cleared up by understanding the Trinity. There are 3 "persons," or centers of consciousness, in the one essence of God. God is superpersonal; His mind and consciousness is more complex than that of humans. This is why there can be communication between the "Father" and the "Son" and the "Holy Spirit," and it is why God can both be incarnate in a human body and also remain in His transcendent heavenly estate. It is also why "love" can be eternal, since God has been in infinite relationship prior to the existence of humanity.

Answer 3

Jesus is never recorded in the Bible as saying the exact words, “I am God.” That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God. Take for example Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” At first glance, this might not seem to be a claim to be God. However, look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement, “We are not stoning you for any of these, replied the Jews, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood Jesus’ statement to be a claim to be God. In the following verses, Jesus never corrects the Jews by saying, “I did not claim to be God.” That indicates Jesus was truly saying He was God by declaring, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30). John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!" Again, in response, the Jews take up stones in an attempt to stone Jesus (John 8:59). Why would the Jews want to stone Jesus if He hadn’t said something they believed to be blasphemous, namely, a claim to be God?

Answer 4

"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "Before Abraham was born, I am!" John 8:58 (Read for context John 8:51-59)

The statement "I AM" was first used of God when he spoke to Moses about leading the Israelites out of captivity.

God said to Moses, " - I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: - I am has sent me to you." Exodus 3:14 (Read Exodus 3:11-15 for the context).

Explanation of "I am" by John Wesely

3:14 And God said - Two names God would now be known by. A name that speaks what he is in himself, I am that I am - This explains his name Jehovah, and signifies, 1st, That he is self - existent; he has his being of himself, and has no dependence upon any other. And being self - existent he cannot but be self - sufficient, and therefore all - sufficient, and the inexhaustible fountain of being and bliss. 2dly, That he is eternal and unchangeable, always the same, yesterday to - day, and for ever: he will be what he will be, and what he is. 3dly. That he is faithful and true to all his promises, unchangeable in his word as well as in his nature, and not a man that he should lie. Let Israel know this, I am hath sent me unto you. A name that speaks what he is to his people

Answer 5

In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God...........The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
John's gospel chapter 1, verses 1 and 14.

"I am the alpha and the omega," says the Lord God -(translates form Greek as the first and the last)
"Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last. I am the living one; I was once dead and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades"

Revelations chapter 1, verses 8, 17 and 18

When did God die except in the body of Christ.

Answer 6

He does not. Jesus worships God.

Rev.3:12 ..and I will write upon him the name of MY God....which descends out of heaven from MY God..

Jesus claims to be God's Son:

John 17:1.."Father glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you"...

In the Bible at Isaiah 9:6 where Jesus is referred to as Mighty God, God means powerful ruler, see Dictionary.

Answer 7

Jesus never claimed to be God himself. He always placed himself in an inferior position to ihs heavenly Father. Read the gospels thoroughly and you will see a man who thoroughly acknowledged his relative position to his Father. That includes praying before performing all of his miracles. Why pray if he was God himself? Who was he praying too if he was God himself? Why did he say at John 5:30 that he could not do a single thing of his own initiative. And if his enemies were looking to accuse him of anything they possibly could why accuse him of blasphemy for saying he was God's SON and not accuse him of claiming to be God? (John 10:36)

Where Jesus referred to any "oneness" with his Father, he was referring to their unity of thought and purpose.

Answer 8

In the King James version it states:

(John 10:30) I and my Father are one.

Answer 9

In John 14:9 when Jesus is in front of his disciples after he was risen. But I get a felling that you still wouldn't believe.

Answer 10

John 10:30 "I and the Father are one."

John 14:11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.

John 10:37--38 Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

Answer 11

I'm pretty sure he never claimed to be his Father, unless you're talking about the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
