why do you say Jesus is God?

Question

In Mark 12:28-29 Jesus Say:
28] And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
[29] And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

If he was God why didn't he said I am God?!
be he said OUR God

and why didn't he say like what is written in 1John 5:7
which was not what Jesus said.

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

Andrew when Jesus said i and the Father are one, he meant in purpose.
if you to the previous verse John 10:29
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.

31: I am the Father are one

Answer 1

because Jesus is one form of God. If you think of water it has different forms, liquid, frozen and steam. Same idea.

Answer 2

Jesus as the Son of God is God.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
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.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Can you not read that the Word was with God and the Word was God?

The Father is God the Father, the Word is Jesus Christ and the Holy Sprit is Spirit of God who are three entities in one God. Understand? OK?

Answer 3

Never did Jesus claim to be almighty God himself. Any impartial reading of the Bible without preconceived ideas about the Trinity will verify that. For example, at John 3:16, Jesus said: “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son.” Just two verses later, Jesus again said that he was “the only-begotten Son of God.” (John 3:18) When the Jews accused Jesus of blasphemy, he answered: “Do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, I am God’s Son?” (John 10:36) Jesus did not say that he was ‘God the Son’ but that he was “God’s Son.”

When Jesus died, even the Roman soldiers standing by knew that Jesus was not God: “The army officer and those with him watching over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things happening, grew very much afraid, saying: ‘Certainly this was God’s Son.’” (Matthew 27:54) They did not say, ‘this was God’ or ‘this was God the Son,’ because Jesus and his disciples taught that Jesus was the Son of God, not God Almighty in human form.

God himself testified that Jesus was his beloved Son, as the Bible writer Matthew noted when Jesus was baptized. (Matthew 3:17) Other Bible writers noted the same. Mark wrote: “A voice came out of the heavens: ‘You are my Son, the beloved; I have approved you.’” (Mark 1:11) Luke said: “A voice came out of heaven: ‘You are my Son, the beloved; I have approved you.’” (Luke 3:22. And John the Baptizer, who baptized Jesus, testified: “I have borne witness that this one [Jesus] is the Son of God.” (John 1:34) So God himself, all four Gospel writers, and John the Baptizer clearly state that Jesus was the Son of God.

1 John5 v 7 For there are three witness bearers, .

Answer 4

There are lots of verses explains that Jesus himself accepting the worship of people and Jews stoned Jesus for equalising himself with God the father.
You say that Jesus didn't claim, his disciples have written the gospel. Then how can you quote a verse from Mark.
John has written as follows. Jesus says if anyone sees him that is that he is seeing the father in heaven.!!!
Joh 14:8 Philip saithunto him,Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficethus.
Joh 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
If you read Revelation, you can see how mightly Jesus is revealed. He is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, He was dead now is living. Jesus is the revelation of the True one and only God Yahweh.
It is a great mystery, only Holy Spirit reveals to the persons who diligently seek the truth.

"I and the Father are one."
Exodus 3:14
John 8:58
Psalm 23:1

Isaiah 44:6
Isaiah 53:5-12
John 1:1-3

John 14:6-7
John 17:5
Philippians 2:9-11
Colossians 1:15-23
Titus 1:3
John 20:28

Answer 6

John 1:1-3 declares that the Word was God, and John 1:14 says that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

It is obvious that this speaks of Jesus, who was the Son of God in the beginning before he came to earth to be the son of man.

Hebrews 1 reiterates that it was Jesus who created all things, and in verse 8 it says

8 But to the Son He says:
"Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
You have love righteousness and hated lawlessness:
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than your companions.

Here God calls Jesus God, and says that He has anointed His Son.

Hope this is of some use to you.

Answer 7

We read in Matt., xvi, 15, 16: "Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven." The parallel passages have: "Thou art the Christ" (Mark 8:29), "The Christ of God" (Luke,ix,20). There can be no doubt that St. Matthew gives the original form of the expression, and that St. Mark and St. Luke in giving "the Christ" (the Messias), instead, used it in the sense in which they understood it when they wrote, viz. as equivalent to "the incarnate Son of God" (Sanday, writing of St. Peter's confession, says: "the context clearly proves that Matthew had before him some further tradition, possibly that of the Logia, but in any case a tradition that has the look of being original" (Hastings, "Dict. of the Bible"). As Rose well points out, in the minds of the Evangelists Jesus Christ was the Messias because He was the Son of God, and not the Son of God because He was the Messias.

Answer 8

JESUS CHRIST was baptized at the age of 30 by being immersed in water. When he came up out of the water, a voice from heaven said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.” (Matthew 3:17) That voice was God’s voice. On another occasion, in prayer to God, Jesus said: “Father, glorify your name.” And when Jesus had said that, God’s “voice came out of heaven: ‘I both glorified it and will glorify it again.’”—John 12:28.
From these accounts, even a child can understand that the relationship between almighty God and Jesus Christ was that of a father and his beloved son, two different individuals. Yet, this simple Bible truth is denied by the religions of Christendom. They insist that Jesus Christ is God Almighty himself, the second person of a Trinity, the third person being the holy spirit.

Answer 9

Jesus was the invisible God made visible. He was the invisible God that came to earth in a fleshly vessel to shed His innocent blood to start a Church. He needed blood to shed to forgive sin so He used the virgin birth to accomplish this. Jesus was flesh on His mothers side and Divine Spirit on His fathers side. He was the Creator of the Universe wrapped up in flesh to become the perfect sacrifice for all of mankind. He was the only one innocent enough to become the perfect sacrifice. Jesus is called son of God because the flesh made him less than Divine Spirit.

Answer 10

I think the best way to explain why these three are mixed up as being only one is like a pregnant woman. She is carrying the children, but she is not the children, just connected to them. The word was earlier described in the Bible as Christ.
