WORDS
Joh 7:16 Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
Joh 14:24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.
Joh 12:49 "For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
WILL
Joh 4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
Joh 6:38 "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
Lu 22:42 saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."
POWER
Joh 5:30 "I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
Joh 8:42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I came not of my own accord,
but he sent me.
KNOWLEDGE
Mr 13:32 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Mt 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
Joh 7:16 So Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me;
STATUS
Mt 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Mr 10:18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
8:50 "And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
Some Christians, (not all) claim that Jesus implied that he was God. From the above verses, we see that Jesus denied being God. It now leaves the Christians who believe Jesus is God to provide
just one single verse in the Bible where Jesus says "I am God". There is no such verse, so we see from the many quotes above, that the House did not belong to Jesus, it belonged to the ONE WHO
SENT him.

No.
But His purpose was to be the Seed of the Woman (100% human) to defeat the Serpent & Death. Genesis 3:15. His purpose to be the Lamb of God for remission of the sins of the whole world, Isaiah 53. He is also the Word of God the Father, Word & Holy Spirit. That is the Bread that came down from heaven.
When Jesus ascended to the right hand of God, He said, "All Power is given to me in heaven & earth. Preach the Gospel to all Creation, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, Son & Holy spirit...".

According to the scriptures, he 'emptied' himself. The Father began relating to Jesus as a man. And Jesus had a father that was not earthly. Jesus returned to his former glory after the cross.
So a lot of what you read that Jesus said, he said as a man. Especially in the Gospel of John, he refers to the Father who gives him the power he dosplayed. And you can see that now with those who are really connected with God and say, " Glory to God." It's because without him we can do nothing, we wouldn't even believe.
So Jesus was setting the precedent where we all are to have that kind of relationship with God as Mankind can only have.
Jesus was as powerful as he needed to be. He had the Father grant him anything that he asked. What he didn't ask for he wasn't given. Even at Gethsemane Jesus prayed, " If it's at all possible, let this cup pass from me." To me, that was an example of the lack of knowledge that Jesus had. He had no 'gnosis' of the happenings after the crucifixion before it happened, and needed faith in order to trust God to get him through and resurrect him. The same as any of us.

Jesus said I and my father are one
"If you have seen me you have seen the father."
yes he is all powerful yet he veiled his glory and became a man so he could be "Tempted in all points as we are yet without sin." so he could die for our sins=yes it has an answer-
and Jesus has a better answer=Yes, and Isaiah said all our self righteousness is as filthy rags
why not care about others and pray for them
Isaiah 9:6 "Unto us a child is born a son is given, and he will be almighty God and the prince of peace."
this is absolute proof the bible has not been tampered with the same of my Jewish people that reject Jesus left this in the bible-because Jesus doesnt let his word be changed!
Isaiah 53 "He will lay down his life to make atonement/forgiveness for our sins."
Jesus said "No man takes my life, I lay it down for the joy that is set before me that you may believe."
Jesus says if anyone adds to my word they will have plagues=Revelation 22 He Is God John 1:1 "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God, and the word was God. And the word became flesh and dwelt amongst us ...(verse 14 chapter 1 John)
Jesus says to love your enemies -even those that dont agree with us
Jesus offers salvation-Repent from your sins and be born again to see the kingdom of heaven.
I prayed as he asked "Jesus I am sorry for my sins, my lies, and help me, come into my heart and be my friend, amen.
Revelation 3:19&20 now Jesus is my savior and best friend-as he says=
"I love you and knock on your heart door to come in, deliver from sin and be your friend, if you ask me in."
WHY NOT BELIEVE THE TRUTH-Jesus doesnt lie others do lie, who will you believe-who will you recieve,
prayin for you, and best wishes too

I agree with that guy. Jesus was a person, but he was God's son, and was a part of God. He never denied being a PART of God.

Jesus stated that he's i'm. subsequently he's God: Exodus 3:14 And God stated to Moses, “i'm WHO i'm.” And He stated, “subsequently you shall say to the youngsters of Israel, ‘i'm has sent me to you.’” John 8:fifty 8 Jesus stated to them, “maximum veritably, I say to you, earlier Abraham became into, i'm.” Jesus stated He and the daddy are one: John 10:30 I and My Father are one. The Jews accused Jesus of starting to be Himself God: John 10:33 The Jews spoke back Him, saying, “For a good artwork we don't stone you, yet for blasphemy, and because you, being a guy, make your self God.” The Jews believed that Jesus claimed to be equivalent to God: John 5:18 subsequently the Jews sought each and all of the greater to kill Him, with the aid of fact He not basically broke the Sabbath, yet in addition stated that God became into His Father, making Himself equivalent with God. Jesus Christ, the Son of God is the 2d individual in the Holy Trinity.

Jesus said,
"My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
I and my Father are one
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. "
Such statements would seem to indicate that Jesus did NOT think of Himself as God but did acknowledge that His Father was indeed God.
k?

I believe Jesus said that he was the son of God. Just like we are all God's children.We can all be powerful if we can connect with our spirtual side.
