Did jesus said that I am God?

Question

I am confused,did he said directly that he is God?why speaks in riddle,I am the father,the son and the holy spirit?If you are God in flesh,will you admit directly to your followers,listen up!I am God in human flesh and I am going to sacrifice myself for you.No,he said nothing like that.I think everybody went to school and had some basic english.in simple and plain english,did you saw in the bible jesus said that he is God.or the priest said that to you before you open the book that Jesus said he is god and you read into the bible guided by the priest but the word God is not there.Is jesus afraid to admit that he is God?.Is god afraid of human being or many humans.The real God destroy many countries before and now he is afraid to admit that he is God.Are you stupid,naive or following the priest blindly.You are educated are'nt you? or are you afraid since nobody dare to ask the teacher?Afraid to be laugh at in front of your whole entire class?hahahaha

Ok,I see your point about the words from God,meanings to says that God is speaking up in heaven and using Jesus as a medium to pass the message or word to the people,right?God with wireless microphone up in Heaven and Jesus is the electronic loud speaker on Planet Earth,ok I accept that but why worship the electronic speaker?He is only a device?The real god is up in Heaven.You guys from intelligent people,now looks like the movie theme"God must be Crazy".If 2 angels came down to Earth and watch your ceremony,Putting up the speaker on the Altar and worshipping the speaker,just like as you were worshipping God himself.The 2 angels probably says to each other,what went wrong with this picture?I don't know how that speaker get to become their God?Let's go back and tell the real God of what happened here on Earth.

Do you remember moses went up the mountain and spoke with God?.God uses the fiery bush as a medium to speak to moses.Moses knows better that fiery bush is not God but as a medium only but you guys are something else,heehehee.If you a shepherd looking for your lost lamb and stumble upon this and saw Moses spoke with the fiery bush and the fiery bush spoke back,you probably went down and tell the villagers that the fiery bush is God himself in person.like the movie "God must be crazy".You some how misinterpret the picture and came out worst than before,hehehehe.

Answer 1

I
Position of Jesus (pbuh) in Islam:

(i) Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh).

(ii) We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (swt).

(iii) We believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe.

(iv) We believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pbuh).


(v) We believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission.

(iv) We believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with God’s permission.

II CONCEPT OF GOD IN CHRISTIANITY:

1. Jesus Christ (pbuh) never claimed Divinity

One may ask, if both Muslims and Christians love and respect Jesus (pbuh), where exactly is the parting of ways? The major difference between Islam and Christianity is the Christians’ insistence on the supposed divinity of Christ (pbuh). A study of the Christian scriptures reveals that Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity. In fact there is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (pbuh) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me". In fact the Bible contains statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in which he preached quite the contrary. The following statements in the Bible are attributed to Jesus Christ (pbuh):

(i) "My Father is greater than I."
[The Bible, John 14:28]

(ii) "My Father is greater than all."
[The Bible, John 10:29]

(iii) "…I cast out devils by the Spirit of God…."
[The Bible, Mathew 12:28]

(iv) "…I with the finger of God cast out devils…."
[The Bible, Luke 11:20]

(v) "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."
[The Bible, John 5:30]


2. The Mission of Jesus Christ (pbuh) – to Fulfill the Law

Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity for himself. He clearly announced the nature of his mission. Jesus (pbuh) was sent by God to confirm the previous Judaic law. This is clearly evident in the following statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in the Gospel of Mathew:

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

"For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
[The Bible, Mathew 5:17-20]


3. God Sent Jesus' (pbuh)

The Bible mentions the prophetic nature of Jesus (pbuh) mission in the following verses:

(i) "… and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me."
[The Bible, John 14:24]


(ii) "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent."
[The Bible, John 17:3]


4. Jesus Refuted even the Remotest Suggestion of his Divinity

Consider the following incident mentioned in the Bible:

"And behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’

And he said unto him, ‘Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.’ "
[The Bible, Mathew 19:16-17]

Jesus (pbuh) did not say that to have the eternal life of paradise, man should believe in him as Almighty God or worship him as God, or believe that Jesus (pbuh) would die for his sins. On the contrary he said that the path to salvation was through keeping the commandments. It is indeed striking to note the difference between the words of Jesus Christ (pbuh) and the Christian dogma of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus (pbuh).


5. Jesus (pbuh) of Nazareth – a Man Approved of God

The following statement from the Bible supports the Islamic belief that Jesus (pbuh) was a prophet of God.

"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know."
[The Bible, Acts 2:22]


6. The First Commandment is that God is One

The Bible does not support the Christian belief in trinity at all. One of the scribes once asked Jesus (pbuh) as to which was the first commandment of all, to which Jesus (pbuh) merely repeated what Moses (pbuh) had said earlier:

"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adonai Ikhad."

This is a Hebrew quotation, which means:

"Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord."
[The Bible, Mark 12:29]

It is striking that the basic teachings of the Church such as Trinity and vicarious atonement find no mention in the Bible. In fact, various verses of the Bible point to Jesus’ (pbuh) actual mission, which was to fulfill the law revealed to Prophet Moses (pbuh). Indeed Jesus (pbuh) rejected any suggestions that attributed divinity to him, and explained his miracles as the power of the One True God.

Jesus (pbuh) thus reiterated the message of monotheism that was given by all earlier prophets of Almighty God.


NOTE: All quotations of the Bible are taken from the King James Version.

III CONCEPT OF GOD IN OLD TESTAMENT:

1. God is One

The following verse from the book of Deuteronomy contains an exhortation from Moses (pbuh):

"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adna Ikhad".
It is a Hebrew quotation which means:
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord"
[The Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4]


2. Unity of God in the Book of Isaiah

The following verses are from the Book of Isaiah:

(i) "I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour."
[The Bible, Isaiah 43:11]


(ii) "I am Lord, and there is none else, there is no God besides me."
[The Bible, Isaiah 45:5]


(iii) "I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me."
[The Bible, Isaiah 46:9]


3. Old Testament condemns idol worship


(i) Old Testament condemns idol worship in the following verses:

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"

"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."
[The Bible, Exodus 20:3-5]


(ii) A similar message is repeated in the book of Deuteronomy:

"Thou shalt have none other gods before me."

"Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that in the earth beneath, or that is in the water beneath the earth."

"Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."
[The Bible, Deuteronomy 5:7-9]

Answer 2

Logically and mathematically, it simply is not sensible. The instructing of conventional Christianity is that: Jesus = God but God > Jesus Does now not compute. The feeling I get from the Scriptures, regardless that, is that Jesus is meant to be both an detail of God, an incarnation of God, or in every other manner a side of God as good as His consultant on the planet. .

Answer 3

I wouldn't talk about "plain English" if I were you.

John 10
"I and My Father are one."
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”
The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God."

****Important Note****
The whole reason the Jews sought to kill Jesus was because He, being a man, made Himself out to be God. If He was NOT God, then He was rightly put to death and was then a sacrifice WITH sin and blemish. Since He IS God, then His death was that of the Lamb WITHOUT spot or blemish.

Answer 4

READ what these people are showing you. Copy it down. Bring it back to the mosque. Show everyone. Maybe someday you'll be able to retain information which does not come from a mosque or an Islamic website.

Judging by one of your previous questions (which was spam)

"To all readers,Please read the holy book,Al-Quran.Don't you want to know what God said in Al-quran about you?"
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmnCPfCLqUZHub2uRHhPAxHsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071007022351AAwxVqo

it is evident that you're just another non-believer who denies what is clear to billions of people.

Answer 5

Jesus didn't speak English. but He DID admit to being God.

Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, I AM: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. :63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? :64 Ye have heard the blasphemy:...

John 8:19 Then they said unto Him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. 20 These words spake Jesus in the treasurey, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

John 8:24, "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins."

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.

Answer 6

Yeah, he pretty much said that he was God! All three are pretty much the same, but separate at the same time. Confusing, I know, but you must have a certain amount of neurons to understand. You need to take more English classes. Your grammar is terrible!

Answer 7

The father and I are one, he who hath seen me hath seen the Father.
Read first Timothy the last two verses of chapter three.
John 1:1 and John 1:14.

Answer 8

Yes:

"If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? "

John 10:35-36

Answer 9

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Answer 10

No, Jesus said God is in me and I am in God; Jesus was one with God. God is God's self, and Jesus is Jesus' self; they both have their own identity or personality even so. We may not fully understand how that works, but they are still themselves.

Since God is everywhere, we are all in God and God is in us, too.

You might really enjoy The Urantia Book it explains all those things you question here... really.

* Sorry, I edited this... Both have their own personality even though they are one with each other, the same way we can be one with God and still be ourselves too - now and in the afterlife.

Answer 11

Nice long harangue - most impressive - but what did Jesus do? Preached, taught, healed the sick and the oppressed, and cast out demons.
