How does one really know if Jesus is God?

Answer 1

Well, when Jesus was born, it was a fulfillment of prophecy that was awaited from the old testament, during Jesus' life he fulfilled many prophecies from many different prophets of old concerning the coming messiah who would be the savior. In Jesus' life he not only fulfilled prophecy but also demonstrated many signs and wonders that only God could accomplish, even secular history of that day records Jesus being a man of miracles and wonders. Add that to the multitudes of eye witnesses and the tesitmony of countless believers throughout the ages. Jesus is God my friend won't you trust in him today.

Answer 2

A careful study of the bible will show the existence of a Father and Son. Jesus is the son of God whose name is YHWH, commonly pronounced Jehovah.

Patrone07 Look at Rev 1:1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants... (NKJV) There is some confusion about the Alpha and Omega phrase that I will try to decipher tomorrow as it is late. But the verse I quoted shows two distinct entities and that Jesus was secondary because "God" gave the revelation to him. Jesus is usually referred to as "Lord" in the KJV.

YY4ME Just want to mention, that the beliefs of the Israelites preceded and pointed to the birth of Christ so all the things you may have read mean little. Mortals mixing with spiritual beings was spoken of in Genies (the Nephilim) which predates the incidents related on your sites. False religion is a deviation of true religion, that's why there are so many similarities.

TUBEROOT You need to read Heb 1:1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; (NKJV)

Answer 3

Jesus is not God Almighty. Jesus is the Son of God. He is divine. He is in the family of God and therefore takes on His name. He is obedient to God and does His will. He has been given all power by God. (Matt.28:18)

Answer 4

It has to be a revelation given to you by God just as Peter received in this passage of scripture.
Mat 16:13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
Mat 16:14 And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
Mat 16:15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Mat 16:16 Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 16:18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

If you have received this by flesh and blood only, you have only a head knowledge.
This must be revealed to an individual by God Himself.

Answer 5

Jesus is my God because i choose to believe He is, Jesus is not the Father as many people will teach, this is a doctrine of men and not of God.

1Jn:5:7: For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

How many bare record in Heaven? three ( 3 )

In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ

Answer 7

I'm sure that you are going to see this:
John 10
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

The Jews understood what Jesus was saying.

And then God calls Jesus God:
Hebrews 1
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

So the Jews knew that Jesus was making Himself equal to God, and God called Him God, so the axiom is complete: Jesus is God.

Answer 8

JESUS never claimed to be God. Everything he said about himself indicates that he did not consider himself equal to God in any way—not in power, not in knowledge, not in age.

In every period of his existence, whether in heaven or on earth, his speech and conduct reflect subordination to God. God is always the superior, Jesus the lesser one who was created by God(jehovah).




TIME and again, Jesus showed that he was a creature separate from God and that he, Jesus, had a God above him, a God whom he worshiped, a God whom he called "Father." In prayer to God, that is, the Father, Jesus said, "You, the only true God." (John 17:3) At John 20:17 he said to Mary Magdalene: "I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." (RS, Catholic edition) At 2 Corinthians 1:3 the apostle Paul confirms this relationship: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Since Jesus had a God, his Father, he could not at the same time be that God.

The apostle Paul had no reservations about speaking of Jesus and God as distinctly separate: "For us there is one God, the Father, . . . and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 8:6, JB) The apostle shows the distinction when he mentions "the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels." (1 Timothy 5:21, RS Common Bible) Just as Paul speaks of Jesus and the angels as being distinct from one another in heaven, so too are Jesus and God.

Jesus' words at John 8:17, 18 are also significant. He states: "In your own Law it is written, 'The witness of two men is true.' I am one that bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me." Here Jesus shows that he and the Father, that is, Almighty God, must be two distinct entities, for how else could there truly be two witnesses?

Jesus further showed that he was a separate being from God by saying: "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." (Mark 10:18, JB) So Jesus was saying that no one is as good as God is, not even Jesus himself. God is good in a way that separates him from Jesus.

Answer 9

Jesus is a fictional character, who is just one in a long line of god-men who was born of a virgin, died for our "sins," was "resurrected," etc.

The only reason christians don't know these things is that they don't know the history of christianity, and obviously don't *want* to know or they'd do some reading on the subject.

Answer 10

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

The resurrection and hundreds of miracles!
