The bible was written by man and is a book of fairy tales. Jesus was a man and a prophet. There is no god.

The miracles were made up stories.

Moses was made a god in Ex-7:1 but they overlook that and pretend that because it's spelt with a common 'g', that it's not the same a GOD. This is a deception because of the facts...

1. There were no capital and common letters in the original language of the bible (Hebrew)

2. The same word for god is the same as GOD which was Elohyeem/ Elohim

3. Capital or common letters do NOT change the meaning of a word.

They are blinded by religious light and only few ever wake up to the truth. Jesus can be as much of a god as Moses or as any of us because "Elohyeem" has been used to refer to men, angels, gods etc. Ps-82:6.

Just get a Strong's concordance or check out

http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/c.pl?book=Psa&chapter=82&verse=6&version=KJV#6

check the word for god thru out Genesis when it refers to the god who created, type in the word GOD, click the 'c' on the left (between the k & l) of the verses, play with it and u'll see what i'm saying is true. Very few times was god ever in singular for in the bible so most of it should Gods but they intentionally left it out.

Jesus is God. The Bible does say so...Jesus called himself "I Am" which refers to what God called himself to Moses. Jesus also said, "no one comes to the Father but by me" And "unless you eat my body and drink my blood you cannot have life within you." These are not things that Moses ever said...or came close to saying. In fact, when Moses took credit for the water coming out of the rock...God punished him. Jesus performed miracles, Jesus healed the sick, the blind and raised the dead. He did these things because he is God.

He is fully God and fully man. Only God could do something like that.

You need to read your Bible.
Here are a few things to consider regarding the Deity of Jesus:

THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST

III. Jesus Christ possessed all the attributes of God.

A. He was (is) omniscient (all-knowing).
John 4:25, 26, 29; 6:64; 13:11; 19:28; 21:17

1 Timothy 1:17; 6:16; Revelation 1:4, 5

1. Scripture claims that Christ was pre-existent to the
creation of the world, that He was present with the

E. He is unchanging.
Hebrews 13:8
John 8:58; 18:6 with Exodus 3:14 ("I AM")
Revelation 1:17, 18 ("the Living One")

IV. Some claim that the death of Jesus Christ on the cross is proof that
He could not have been God. What evidence is given in scripture
to refute this argument?

A. Jesus' death on the cross was not due to failure or weakness
on His part. It was entirely voluntary.

D. He said that He had the power to lay down His life and had
power to take it back again.

E. It was not necessary for Him to be defended, He said, for He
could have called upon the Father to send 10,000 legions of
angels for His protection.
Matthew 26:50-54

F. He overcame death by rising again. The resurrection alone
should be sufficient evidence of His divinity. (See Section
VI-E).

V. Why was it necessary that He should become a man and die?

A. "... that through death He might destroy him that had the
power of death, that is, the devil."
Hebrews 2:14

B. To "deliver them who through fear of death were all their
lifetime subject to bondage."
Hebrews 2:15

C. "... that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things
pertaining to God ... in that He Himself hath suffered being
tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted."
Hebrews 2:17, 18; 4:14-16

D. "... to make reconciliation for the sins of the people."

In Jesus dwells ALL the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Col.2:9 below) -

o God the Father

o The Holy Spirit of God the Father

o The Word of God the Father

The only begotten son of God the Father (Jn.1:14 below), Jesus (the Word - Jn.1:1, Jn.1:14 below), His beloved Son (Matt.3:17 below), was conceived of the Holy Ghost (Matt.1:20 below).

It is God the Father who conceived in Mary (blessed among women) His very Word through His very Holy Spirit (Matt.1:20 below).


Col.2:9 For in him dwelleth ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Jn.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, (Matt.1:20, Matt.3:17 below)) full of grace and truth.

Jn.1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (Re.1:6, Lk.1:47 below).

Re.1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God (Jn.1:1 above) AND his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Lk.1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour (Jn.1:14, Jn.1:1, Re.1:6 above).

Lk.1:68 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

Matt.3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son (Matt.1:20 below), in whom I am well pleased.

Matt.1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost (Jn.1:14, Matt.3:17 above).

none of the prophets (good jewish people) accepted worship, but Jesus Christ (also a good Jewish man) accepted worship, because he is God.


In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God." John 1:1

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

Jesus is the "word" of GOd that became "flesh" (man)


Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father (God) ; how can you say, 'Show us the Father '? JOhn 14:9

“There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zoroastrian mythology. In order to hide Paul’s plaigerism… Christians burned the library of Alexandria in 390 A.D. Books in that library kept Mithra’s original story of what Pauline Doctrine is an almost exact copy. (George Sarton , Introduction to History of Sciences) ,

The Christian Trinity is a copy of the Pagan religion of Rome called Mithraism. Mithra was a half man half god who died for the sins of his followers. Guess what date the SUN god Mithra was born on ? - Thats right ...December 25th

The concept of God having a son is the basis of most Polytheistic religions and the exact opposite of the Abrahamic message of Monotheism. Your Lord is ONE – no partner, no Son , No God incarnate.

“The son-ship of Jesus Christ is the greatest fiction of human history.” (Lord Bishop of Canterbury Commission, the Spiritual Head of England, 1910.)

“The son-ship of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, the blood sacrifice of the lamb of God, atonement are not the teachings of Jesus. These are all inventions of Saint Paul who never really met Jesus.” (Hastings Rashdall, The Theory of Good and Evil)
