In the bible, Jesus nvr said that he is god. But Christians say he is.
In the bible, it says in holy places the people shall take off their shoes, but i dont see any of them practising it today.
If jesus is god, why he had to die for the people's sins. since he is "god", why he dont forgive them?
Why "god" only appear many years after the creation of human beings?
There are lots of other questions i wanna ask, so i'll continue next time.. isnt it contradicting? the content of the bible has been changing and will be changed for ever and ever..

There are plenty of passages in which the only conclusion from the context of Scripture, if not Jesus' words themselves, show that He does indeed claim to be God. Check out the links below.
As for why Jesus wouldn't just forgive people's sins if He is God, there are numerous passages in Scripture in which He does forgive people's sins. But they have to be willing to repent. He will not forgive people unless they are willing to repent and ask Him for forgiveness. It's up to them to ask, and if they don't, it's their own fault.

No Jesus did not ever say he is God but he clearly said that he is God's Son(John10:36) God called Jesus his Son the beloved (Matthew3:16,17) While Jesus was on earth he NEVER did anything to please himself(Romans15:3)His formost concern was the doing of God's Will.Jesus said:"The Father iis greater than than I am(John14:28)The Bible also says that no man has ever at any time seen God(John1:18) Yet thousands have seen Jesus. These are just some of the scriptures that clearly show that Jesus is not God but he is God's Son and a seperate and distinct person, but these beliefs about Jesus being God are not from the Bible even though they arte said to be, the Bible does not teach these beliefs they are the doctrines of men not of the Bible. But yes there are many views of men that contradict each other but it is not what the Bible really teaches . The Bible is not contradictory it is men who contradict the Bible for lack of understanding it.

turtle's reply:Jesus said he was living water. He also did say he was one with the Father. The Father being God.
In the bible, it says in holy places the people shall take off their shoes, but i dont see any of them practising it today.
turtle reply: you are refering to Moses read chapter four of Exodus. The story of the burning bush. Need a Bible visit my site or go to other places on line.
If jesus is god, why he had to die for the people's sins. since he is "god", why he dont forgive them?
He does forgive and forget but payment had to be made for disobedience it is like when a criminal does a crime he has to go to jail or pay a fine.
Why "god" only appear many years after the creation of human beings?
God continue through out the life of man even today to mankind. He walked and talked with all that would listen to Him. That is even old testament. Enoch walked with God. God spoke to Cain before he killed his brother. So you really need to stop asking question and get into God's word for yourself and discover some truth. Find a good Bible study site or visit a good Bible believing church and learn about God, you don't have to be a christian to go to learn. Many unsaved people in church. Or visit my site a do a weekly Bible study.

Friend you not reading the same bible as me, in John 8:58 Jesus called Himself I AM, and if you've a cross reference that takes you back to Exodus where in chapter three He says to moses I AM, also He forgave sins, in Matthew 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
ONLY GOD can forgive sins, also in Hebrews 1:5-9 HE is said of The Father to be God, and in Heb.13:8 we find Jesus has ALWAYS been here, also satan address Him as God, the first temptation satan offered Jesus in Matthew 4 was to turn the rocks into bread, now you and i have never been tempted to do that because the devil knows we can not do that, but HE KNOWS JESUS BEING GOD can, find out more free bible lessons www.amazingfacts.org talk to me also wgr88@yahoo.com God bless

I think you nee to read more in the Bible.
Jesus did say he is God, He said ( I am). He said I am the alpha and omega - The beginning and the end.
He said his father and him are one.
It is not the Bible contradicting it self, It is only mans lack of understanding Gods word.
It's OK to ask more questions but first it would be better if you read all of Gods word.

Jesus said he was the son of man, he never mentioned anything about him being god. Over the ages we've added our little spin to the story to make it a little more attractive. Now I can understand people in the second and third centuries believing this crap, but how anyone in our modern age with all our technology and scientific knowledge could believe it is beyond me. Its really puzzling.
