Answer 1

there are many gods written in various religious books, which GOD are you talking about? or are you too busy being all closed minded to accept that there are other religions in the world other than your yours, therefore assuming that a god has to be a christian god!! EDUCATE YOURSELF!!

Answer 2

I agree. Yes the Bible does sort of imply that he said he was God yet we all know that he wasn't praying to himself and mostly spoke of himself as servant and a go between and wayshower to God. He called God HIS God and Father.
Other men of royalty called themselves Son of God.

C.S Lewis said that Jesus didn't leave any room for interpreting him as just a prophet but I think Lewis isn't taking into account the Bible's definite fallibility quotient and contradictions along with the many different translations and opposing viewpoints.

Why did Jesus say," I and the Father are one" and not say,"I am the Father and the Son". I sent myself here to get a better look and to commit suicide because I knew that if I didn't I'd have to kill you all because I am the Father and I have decreed it. Better me than you I always say."Somebody better act quickly because there's no one manning the ship up in heavan, you know? The angels all miss me."

If he was God, killing him would be a joke because ,of course, he was immortal. If he was God, then suffering and temptation would also be a joke because he'd know that he already had mastery over all things and could have anything he wanted. What would be the point of Jesus praying to himself? He'd be like," yes, I know that. Very good." all the time. Was God testing himself? Can you imagine coming to Earth knowing you'd pretend to die but soon you'd be home again like it was all a bad dream. What sacrifice?

Answer 3

John 1-5 In the beginning was The Word, and the Word was with God And The Word was God.He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

John 14 - 9 Philip said to Him,"Lord show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us" Jesus said to Him, Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known me Philip?He who has seen me has seen the Father;

I'm too slow of a typer to do this question justice, but I hope this helps. Read the New Testament thoroughly and you will find many more scriptures confirming the Deity of Christ.
God bless!!

Answer 4

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." (Lewis 1952, pp. 43)

A quote by the great C.S Lewis. You can believe that Jesus was merely a human prophet, but clearly that is not what we Christians derive from his existence. He is Lord and Savior. The end. It doesn't leave that part open to interpretation. And yes, he claimed it. That is why he enraged so many people, because they perceived his words as the ultimate blasphemy.

Answer 5

Dear sister
I'm a Muslem and I have studied New Testament in this regard. It is not as easy as it seem to answer.
In islamic texts Jesus is a humanbeing but a spetial one. In Quran he is called " God's Word". His coming to world andhis life is full of miraculs.
In the synoptic Gospels we see Jesus as a highly powered man sometimes called "Son of man", "son of god" and "Lord". But Jesus himself acts some Godly deeds or miraculs but He eats, drinks, travels and suffers as ordinary people.
In the Gospel of John and letters of Paul, who was first an anti-christ then became an apostol of Holly Spirit, we see Jesus more god less man.
At the time of Jesus himself there is no bleaf of trinity but later it is added to their accepted dogmas.
Most Christian thinkers defended Jesus Godhood some minorities rejected it. In In the period ofsceintific-historic analysis of Bible, insistig of Catholic Church in such dogmas lead some rational and liberal uroupian thinkers to atheism. Some others like Soren Kierkegaard attacked upon Christendom in Protestant Church to find true Christianity. He find it absurd and redefind faith as accepting this absurd whole heartedly.
Dear sister Christians had difficulties in their scripturs for a long time.But they accept it as it is now in hand.
They didn't lifted Jesus, the Word of God, since he was is and will be much lofty than what i you and they think.
They just lower the ALL MIGHTY ONE GOD to be as low as a humilated human being. Since they have such a concept of God such a thing is naturally acceptable.
I like to be a true follower of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammad the prophets of the one God and I love all Christians and Muslems who love the Christ as He is or even as we ignorantly think He is.

Answer 6

I agree Jesus was a prophet, not God. I think he did say it once though he was the Son on Man.

Answer 7

I think the real unanswered question here is the inability to comprehend the simple fact that God loved us so much that he lowered himself from omnipresent to human form to live among us as man to teach us and show us salvation through his death on the cross.

We refuse to accept that God "so big" would become man so small.

Answer 8

"I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." - John 8:24 KJV

"Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he." - John 9:9 KJV

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." - Rev 22:13 KJV

"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;" - Titus 2:13 KJV

"And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life." - 1 John 5:20 KJV

"28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one." - John 10:28-30 KJV

Answer 9

What the Theist think is a God is just another entity that has the same needs and any other living being. Ancient man encountered extraterrestrial life and called it a God. There is far more proof of this than a God or no God. Even the Atheist has some waking up to do.

Answer 10

John 1:16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.

This is the closest I can find.
Colossians 2:9
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
