You're supposed to study the word of God and no one but Paul himself vouches for Paul's character. Where does Jesus say He is God. Remember neither "Son of Man" nor "Messiah" imply being divine. Quote your sources if you wish to argue.

CJ - Please see Shadowofears to see how to answer a question. You don't have to agree with what he says, but notice how he didn't simply tell me to look it up myself. Put some effort into it boy

S - even an idiot knows that Jesus is only mentioned in the New Testament and that all your "sources" are from the Old Testament. So, it's fairly safe to say your sources have no quotes from Jesus.

CJ, Jesus has already died by the time you claim he talked to "Saul." Again, we have no one's word for that encounter but Saul (Paul's)

Arguing with you seems to be a waste of time, because you are ignorant on this, yet present yourself as not.
Anyway read John 1 and John 10. Even the unsaved Pharisees understood that Jesus called Himself God.
Also Jesus "vouches" for Paul in Acts, where Jesus says that Paul is Jesus' chosen vessel. So much for your "argument".

Interesting that you ask for "sources" for "argue"ment and yet you have had no sources to support yourself yet. You are the poster-boy for Hypocrisy man.
Still, Ignorance is rampant throughout the world so I suppose putting up with your ignorance will be no different than trying to endure the others.

Wrong, about the Messiah part read the prophesies of the Messiah. What does Son of God mean? I could quote scripture all day but until you realize the purpose of Christ and realize your need for a savior the truth will escape you.
Revelation comes from God through the spirit.
John 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

I see you'll be hard to convince as you are a non-believer.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life". Read
John, chapter 14 for the "claim to be God, the Father".
There are many other chapters too, so maybe you might
learn a lot more by just reading the scriptures.

I do not wish to argue - but I will say that my understanding of it is that Jesus said we are all beloved divine children of God. I can get behind Jesus saying he is the Son of God, just like everybody else. If God is an ocean, we are all glasses of God, in my opinion.
Peace!

If Jesus rebuked the Pharisees by saying Moses wrote about Him, would He not also remind us that Paul wrote of Him as well?

You should care what Paul says, because he claimed to have hallucinated Jesus and hijacked Jesus' message.
