On the Cross, Jesus spoke the Words , "IT IS FINISHED." John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
He was referring to the work that God the Father sent Him to do, which was to die for the sins of the world.1 Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
When the Israelites asked Jesus who He was , He told them He was "the great I AM". They knew what that meant as it was a title given only to God Himself.
John 5:18 "Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God."
As you can see from this scripture, the Jews knew EXACTLY who He was claiming to be, and KILLED HIM for this reason.
Also here : Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Either Jesus was who He claimed to be , or He was a lunatic or a liar. He leaves you no other choice. A man cannot be a good teacher or a wonderful prophet if he is a liar or a lunatic.
John 1:10 "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not." This verse is speaking of Jesus Christ, and it says that HE made the world. If He was NOT God, this statement could not have been true of Him.

rukidding is correct.
While Jesus did not shout anything from the cross, he did state numerous times that he was God. These statements can be found throughout the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).
God bless you. †
deadcatbounce3: why would I or anyone else who believes the word of God as it is written agree that it is ambiguous, if we don't believe the Bible to be so? If a man does not like seafood, why would I say he is ambiguous on the matter?
God bless you, too.

Yes, over 40 times the Fourth Gospel mentions it, 28 times (if I remember right) in Jesus' own words. The divinity of Jesus is the central theme of John, figuring rather prominently in the Gospel.

The Trininty is a difficult concept for most to understand. Jesus was asking why His Father had forsaken Him. Yet Jesus knew what His mission on earth was to be.

Jesus cried out from the cross, "My God, My God, Why have you abandoned me?" He never actually claimed to be God anywhere in the bible.

In quite a few places he made it clear. I'd have to look up the statements he made during the crucifixion.

NEVER. It never happened. He knew who he was, and he knew who God was, and he never made the sick mistake that the church has made.
He always made a clear distinction between himself and the Father.

Arguments can be made for either point. The last thing any of these sola scripture people will admit is that the bible is ambiguous - which it is.

No he didnt, he said,"the father in heaven is greater than I." He also bowed his face to the ground and worshipped GOD. He also said,"Father! Why hast thou forsaken me?" Why would GOD do or say these things? Make sense?
