ARGU FOR DEITY OF JESUS ARE SO STRONG

THAT THE … ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE DEITY

OF JESUS ARE CLEARLY PROVEN INVALID

1. AS THE SIN IS AGAINST THE INFINITE GOD HIMSELF, GOD

HIMSELF MUST SOLVE SIN ISSUE AND ONE WHO SOLVED IS
JESUS AND HENCE JESUS MUST BE GOD HIMSELF OR SIN
PROBLEM IS NOT YET SOLVED
2. AS SIN IS AN INFINITE CRIME, ONLY AN INFINITE BEING NOT
CREATURE CAN SOLVE IT. HENCE JESUS WHO SOLVED IT IS GOD
HIMSELF.

Rev 1:1-10 and 22:6 = God and Jesus and almighty God … all one and same
person. God fuse out as Jesus and Jesus become OTG.

IF YEHOVA IS GOD, THEN JESUS IS GOD

1. Yehovah is God
2. Yehovah is Jesus
3. Hence Jesus is God
4. Jesus died.
5. As Jesus is God, and Jesus died, in Jesus God died.

INDIRECT METHODS OF JESUS HIMSELF

DECALRING HE IS GOD

JESUS HIMSELF CLAIMS TO BE GOD WHEN SAID HE IS THE MESSIAH. Jesus said
to the woman: I who talk to you is the messiah. It is clear from the Bible that Messiah is
the manifestation of God Himself.

THE SELF-DECLARATION OF JESUS THAT HE IS GOD – WHEN HE SAID

HE IS THE SON OF GOD AND SON OF MAN. WHEN JESUS SAID HE IS
THE I AM SON OF GOD AND SON OF MAN JESUS WAS RIGHTLY AND
MOST LEGITIMATELY AND MODESTLY SAYING: I AM GOD. BECAUSE
ONLY THE SON OF GOD AND SON OF MAN CAN RIGHTLY CLAIM TO BE
GOD (JN 3:16). Jesus did not question Jewish high priest view of Son of God being equal to
father. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest (God)” (Luke 1:31-32).
‘Do you believe in the Son of God?’ … ‘You have both seen Him and it is He who is
talking with you’” (Jn 9:35-37).

JESUS CLAIMED TO BE GOD - IMPLICATIONS OF I AM

I AM WHO I AM Exodus 3:13-15. God indicates that he does not depend upon anything
else. This infinite, absolute, self-determining God has drawn near to us in Jesus Christ.
JESUS USED THE SAME PHRASE “I AM” IN SEVEN DECLARATIONS
ABOUT HIMSELF. In all seven, He combines I AM with tremendous metaphors
which express His saving relationship toward the world. All appear in the book of John.
I AM the Vine and you are the branches; I AM the bread of life; I am the light of the
world; I am the door; I am the good shepherd; I am the resurrection and the life; I am
the way, the truth, and the life; I am the true vine. Truly, truly, I say to you, before
Abraham was, I am.

IF JESUS NOT GOD CHRISTIAN FAITH IS WORTHLESS

The Bible never records Jesus saying the precise words, “I am God.” That does not
mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God. The most important reason
that Jesus has to be God is that, if He is not God, His death would not have been
sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the world. A created being, which Jesus
would be if He were not God, could not pay the infinite penalty required for sin against
an infinite God. Only God could pay such an infinite penalty. Only God could take on the
sins of the world die, and be resurrected, proving His victory over sin and death.
JESUS CLAIMED TO BE GOD

JESUS WAS NOT JUST CLAIMING TO BE GOD, BUT PROVING EVERY DETAILS OF
SUCH CLAIM. Jesus is telling us that He will raise his own dead body up again. It is one
thing to raise others who are dead, it is another thing to raise oneself from the dead
when they are dead.

Logic alone would tell us that the “Son” of God would possess the same deity as the
Father. Anyone who argues that Jesus never made such a claim simply hasn’t bothered
to search the Scriptures for themselves, openly, or just does not want to believe what
they understand.

In response to the disciple Thomas, Jesus said "I am the way, and the truth, and the life;
no one comes to the Father, but through Me." Jn 14:6 From this statement alone, one
would have to wonder why nobody could come to God directly. Maybe Jesus
was really saying that He was God?
“for if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins ” (John 8:24). NO
OTHER GOD CANDIDATE EVER COME AND SAY SUCH BLESSINGS IF BELIEVE
AND PUNISHMENT IF NOT BELIEVE IN SUCH A WAY NO ONE CAN IGNORE

HE CLAIMED THAT MEN CAN HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD AND ETERNAL
LIFE ONLY THROUGH HIM.

Jesus never classed Himself with sinful creatures in need of salvation. He is the Savior!
He claimed He could forgive sins and would die to give people remission of sins and
eternal life. What true prophet or angel ever claimed such power? His own claims
compel us to believe either that He was a very evil man or else He is the Divine Son of
God.

JESUS CLAIMED THAT HE CAME TO SAVE MANKIND FROM SIN.

IF PROPHETS WERE SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS SONS OF GOD,

JESUS IS SON IN A HIGHER SENSE. HE IS MORE THAN THE PROPHETS WHO
SPOKE THE TRUTH. HE IS MORE THAN KINGS WHO UPHOLD THE TRUTH.
JESUS HIMSELF IS THE TRUTH. PROPHETS AND KINGS ASKED OTHERS TO
BELIEVE GOD. JESUS ASKED OTHERS TO BELIEVE IN HIM. Jesus
claimed that as a result of God's intense love for the world, He gave His
"only begotten Son." "Only" sets Jesus above and apart from others of whom
SONSHIP is claimed. He follows this by claiming that anyone who puts their faith in
Him will be granted eternal life, something neither priests, prophets, nor kings could
deliver on.

IN ALL THESE, THE GREATEST REALIZATION THAT YOU CAN HAVE, IS
THE TRUTH THAT JESUS IS GOD.

The perfect revelation of God to man, must take the human form. God becoming man is
perfectly logical and quite possible for God. And God has done exactly this. He became
man to reveal himself to mankind, in Jesus Christ. This is more than all philosophy. The
perfect revelation of God to mankind, must take human form, not merely the form of a
theology, philosophy or book. Because we are humans. We are not books and ideas, we
are humans. Hence the perfect revelation of God, cannot end up as an idea or book.
Jesus is God in human form, and the victory he gives us is final. God gave us the best in
Jesus and it costs us nothing. Hence unbelief in Jesus is an unjustifiable rebellion
destined to eternal hell. If we carefully examine human history, we have more than
enough proof to believe that God in Jesus is the only savior of mankind. Jesus is the
most ideal and historical God candidate, we could ever think of. If ever God became
man, who else could ever, fit into that role, better than Jesus? Nobody can honestly say
that, any other person who, ever appeared on the face of the earth, is in anyway better
than Jesus. And his historical impact is undeniably imprinted on the historical
recording forever, dividing the world history into BC & AD. Nobody can make a
historical recording such as 2000, or 2014, without making a reference to Jesus.
Because, for example, when you say, you were born in 2000, you really say that you
were born, 2000 years after Jesus.
Jesus is the most intensely discussed person in history. The person of Jesus, is the
biggest issue for the largest number of people in the world. The most powerful people
groups in the world, identify the most serious disagreement among themselves, based
on their different opinions about who is Jesus. This alone declares the significance of
Jesus as a unique historical person. The historical fact of the Birth of Jesus, all agree.
Some people believe, they rightly killed Jesus, because he claimed to be the promised
messiah, the son of God, the incarnation of God. Some others believe, that Jesus is
virgin born, a great prophet, he will come back etc, but deny his death and resurrection.
But the true Christians believe that, Jesus is the promised Messiah, the son of God, God
Himself revealing to mankind, born sinless and lived sinless, died for the sins of
mankind, and rose again on the third day, in accordance with the scriptures, and
appeared to many and ascended into heaven, is the only savior of mankind.
Jesus is unquestionably the most accurately prophesied person in history. Even the
minute details of his first coming, the birth, death, and resurrection, and also the second
coming, are all prophesied in the Bible. Jesus is also the person, who made the biggest
claims in the history of mankind. The best solution to man’s problems, the biggest
reward, the biggest promise, and the biggest scope for all eternity, and also the biggest
punishment, are all found in the claims made by Jesus.
JESUS SPOKE LIKE GOD, AS NO ONE ELSE IN HISTORY DID. Jesus said: I AM the
BREAD OF LIFE, I AM the LIGHT OF THE WORLD, I AM the DOOR, I AM the Good
Shepherd. I AM the WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. No one comes to the Father
except through me. “I and the Father are one.” He who has seen Me, has seen the
Father.” He who overcomes, will be my son, and I will be his God. ALL authority in
heaven, and on earth is given to me. My kingdom is not of this world etc. No ordinary
man can speak like this. Jesus said, I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. ONLY
JESUS EVER CHALLENGED DEATH and overcame it. About his own body he said:
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. He is saying that, He can raise
up his own dead body. His claim to be “the resurrection” shows that, he has power over
death, even His own, which no other human could ever claim. Jesus had authority to
give his life and to take it back.
JESUS CLAIMED THAT, HE CAME TO SAVE MANKIND, FROM SIN. It was
prophesied, even before his birth, that his name shall be called Jesus, because he will
save his people, from their sins. Jesus claimed to have power to directly forgive sins. He
came to give His life a ransom for the sins of many. He shed His blood for the remission
of the sins of many. Peoplewho do not believe in Him, will die in their sins. No other
God candidate ever spoke such blessings if you believe him, and punishment if you do
not believe. Jesus is the highest standard of the human values of right and wrong, good
and bad. What he would approve is right and what He would not approve is wrong.
Jesus is the greatest example of love, peace, hope, holiness and forgiveness. Jesus is the
ideal man, the son of God and the son of man, the desire of every human heart, THE
DESIRE OF ALL NATIONS. He is the best person anyone should follow, in order to
attain the best moral character.
JESUS IS THE BIGGEST PERFORMING PERSON, EVEN TODAY. Jesus is really alive
today, and is at work. In His Name we have the greatest case of expelling demons, and
healing all manner of sickness, even right now. If you COMMAND in Jesus NAME by
faith, the demons will depart. Jesus is transforming lives even today. He is alive and is
appearing to many around the world. Many who have after death experiences are
testifying about Jesus. You can search the internet for further evidence. Jesus is the
perfect and final revelation of God to mankind. He is God in human form. In Jesus we
get the idea of the character of the true God. Seeing Jesus is seeing the only true God.
Believing Jesus is believing God. Rejecting Jesus is rejecting God.
BUT SOME ASK, IF JESUS IS GOD INDEED, WHY HE DID NOT SAY, I AM GOD. First
of all, we should not expect God to speak in the way we want. It is always better to try
and understand, why God handled the issue in the way He did. The fact is that Jesus
made it sufficiently clear, that He is God, and that is why so many people, from that time
onward throughout history, believed that Jesus is God. The purpose of the first coming
of Jesus was dying on the cross to solve the sin problem of mankind. Preaching and
proving that He was God, was not the purpose of His first coming. Jesus did not do or
say anything which would go against His primary purpose of dying on the cross. Hence
Jesus even prevented those who recognized his full identity, from revealing it to others.
Thus after transfiguration, he clearly told his disciples, not to say about this to anyone,
until His resurrection.
Jesus will undeniably prove that He is God, at his second coming. There is a time for
everything. There will come a time, when every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall
confess that, Jesus is the Lord God Almighty and the only savior of mankind. Let us be
sober. Anyone can make claims by words. What matters is, action proofs not just word
claims. Jesus talks and acts like God. He always proved his claims by actions, which no
one else could do. As he is God, He was not in a hurry to declare and prove it, perhaps in
the way critics would like. Jesus never denied that, he was God.  Rather He made
indirect claims and indications, and gave enough proof, sufficient for an honest seeker
to meaningfully BELIEVE. Jesus does not have to prove that He is God. God is not
obligated to prove anything to us. After all, it is we humans, who are in need of believing
that Jesus is God.

SON OF GOD IS REPRESENTATIVE OF GOD. SON OF MAN IS
REPRESENTATIVE OF MAN. THUS JESUS IS THE BIGGEST FUSION
EVENT.
IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE THAT I AM HE, YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS

THUS JESUS CHRIST IS YEHOVAH SON – CALLED KURIOS, ELOHIM, EL

AND THEOS

The foregoing conclusively demonstrates that the NT writers believed the Lord Jesus
was none other than Yahweh God in the flesh. The NT documents also show that the
Father and the Holy Spirit are fully divine, and that these three are distinct persons.
BUT IN THE FORMULATION OF TRINITY EARLY CHURCH COMMITTED SOME
ERROR.

Jesus is Kurios.

The New Testament Greek equivalent of the Old Testament Hebrew name Yahweh is
Kurios. Used of God, Kurios carries the idea of a sovereign being who exercises absolute
authority. The word is translated Lord in English translations of the Bible.

Jesus is Elohim.

Elohim is a Hebrew name that is used of God 2,570 times in the Old Testament. The
name literally means “strong one,” and its plural ending (“im” in Hebrew) indicates
fullness of power. Elohim is portrayed in the Old Testament as the powerful and
sovereign governor of the universe, ruling over the affairs of humankind. Jesus is
recognized as both Yahweh and Elohim in the prophecy in Isaiah 40:3: “Prepare the way
of the Lord [Yahweh]; make straight in the desert a highway for our God [Elohim].” This
verse was written in reference to John the Baptist preparing for the coming of Christ (as
confirmed in John 1:23) and represents one of the strongest affirmations of Christ’s
deity in the Old Testament. In Isaiah 9:6, we likewise read a prophecy of Christ with a
singular variant (El) of Elohim: “And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor,
Mighty God [El], Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Jesus is Theos.

The New Testament Greek word for God, Theos, is the corresponding parallel to the Old
Testament Hebrew term Elohim. A well-known example of Christ being addressed as
God (Theos) is found in the story of “doubting Thomas” in John 20. In this passage,
Thomas witnesses the resurrected Christ and worshipfully responds: “My Lord and
my God [Theos]” (John 20:28). Jesus is called Theos throughout the rest of the
New Testament. For example, when a jailer asked Paul and Silas how to be saved, they
responded: “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household”
(Acts 16:31). After the jailer believed and became saved, he “rejoiced, having
believed in God [Theos] with all his household” (verse 34). Believing in
Christ and believing in God are seen as identical acts.
Christ Proclaimed as God

John 1:1, 14:  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God...and the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us..”” Here
we note that Jesus was existent with God the Father “in the beginning”, and that at a
moment in history chosen by God, He took on flesh and became a man, and dwelt
among His creation.

Romans 9:5:  .”. Christ came, who is over all,the eternal blessed God.  Amen.”

Colossians 2:8-9: “Christ, for in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead in

bodily form.”

Hebrews 1:3 “God, who at various times and in different ways spoke in times past to
the fathers by the prophets, 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;
who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His
person…”  Here Jesus is referred to by the apostle as the very image of God.

2 Peter 1:1: “Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have
obtained like precious faith with us by the righteous of our God and Savior Jesus
Christ.”

Hebrews 1:8: “But to the Son [Jesus] He [God] says: ‘Your throne, O God, is
forever and ever; A scepter of righteous is the scepter of Your Kingdom.”  God the
Father is recognizing that Jesus is God, and King of Kings.

Hebrews 13:8: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

Acts 20:28 “Therefore, take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which
the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He
purchased with His own blood.”  Here we have the Holy Spirit acting as a person,
appointing overseers to guide the church which He (God in Christ) purchased with His
own blood.

Romans 8:11: “But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in

you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by
his Spirit that dwells in you.”  

Galatians 4:6:  “God has sent the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out “Abba,
Father!”.  Here the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all referenced.

Acts 5:3-4 “But Peter said, ‘Ananias, why has Satan filled your hear to lie to the Holy
Spirit…?  ..You have not lied to me but to God.”
1 Cor 3:16 ““Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of
God dwells in you?”  

Ephesians 1:3-4: “Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ: According as
he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world..”
1 John: "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:
because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of
God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And
every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and
this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even
now already is it in the world." (1 John 4:1-3). It must be noted that the phrase "Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh"  is a direct reference to His deity and that GOD
came to the earth in flesh.

Jesus declared His divinity during His temptation by the devil when He said, “It is
written again, ‘You shall not tempt the  Lord your God’ (Mt 4:7). Jesus is also
called God by others.

THE PRE-EXISTENCE OF JESUS CHRIST

1. The Pre-Existence of Jesus Christ MICAH 5:2 ""But you, Bethlehem

Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of
you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth
are from of old, From everlasting."
2. ISAIAH 9:6 "For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the
government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
3. ZECHARIAH 12:10 ""And I will pour on the house of David and on the
inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will
look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns
for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn." -->
REVELATION 1:7-8"Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will
see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will
mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to
come, the Almighty."
4. 1 CORINTHIANS 10:9 "nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also
tempted, and were destroyed by serpents" -->NUMBERS 21:6-9 "So the
LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and
many of the people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said,
"We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you; pray to
the LORD that He take away the serpents from us."
 5. 1 CORINTHIANS 10:4 "and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they
drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was
Christ." -->ISA. 44:8 "Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that
time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed
there is no other Rock; I know not one.'"
6. JOHN 17:5 ""And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory
which I had with You before the world was."

THE FATHER'S TESTIMONY

1. HEBREWS 1:5-10 But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He
says: "Let all the angels of God worship Him." And of the angels He says: "Who
makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire." But to the Son He
says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; "You, LORD, in the beginning laid
the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands."

JESUS IN THE ROLE OF CREATOR

1. The LORD created everything alone. A. ISAIAH 44:24 "Thus says the LORD, your
Redeemer, And He who formed you from the womb: "I am the LORD, who makes
all things,

JESUS' CLAIMS TO BE GOD.

1. ALMIGHTY GOD: REVELATION 1:8 ""I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come,
the Almighty." (this verse is probably referring to Jesus, but Jehovah's Witnesses
state it is referring to God the Father); REVELATION 21:5-7 "Then He who sat on
the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for
these words are true and faithful." And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha
and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water
of life freely to him who thirsts. "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I
will be his God and he shall be My son." --> Jesus Christ: REVELATION 1:11
"saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you
see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to
Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to
Laodicea." ; REVELATION 2:8 "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,
'These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life" ;
REVELATION 22:12-13 ""And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is
with Me, to give to everyone according to his work. "I am the Alpha and the
Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." ; REVELATION 22:16
""I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am
the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."
 2. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE "FIRST" AND ONE "LAST" . A. ISAIAH 41:4
"Who has performed and done it, Calling the generations from the beginning? 'I,
the LORD, am the first; And with the last I am He.'" B. ISAIAH 44:6 ""Thus says
the LORD, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the
First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God." C. ISAIAH 48:12 ""Listen to
Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last."
B. JOHN 8:24 ""Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins;
for if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins." ; JOHN
8:58 "Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before
Abraham was, I AM." C. JOHN 10:30 ""I and My Father are one."

3. JESUS ACCUSED OF BLASPHEMY. A. JOHN 8:59 "Then they took up

stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going
through the midst of them, and so passed by." B. JOHN 10:30-33 ""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 stoneYou, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man,
make Yourself God." C. JOHN 5:17-18 "But Jesus answered them, "My Father
has been working until now, and I have been working."Therefore the
Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but
also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God."
D. JOHN 14:6-9 "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through Me. "If you had known Me, you would have
known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him."
Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it issufficient for us." Jesus
said to him, "Have I been with you so long,and yet you have not known Me,
Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us
the Father'?"

OTHERS' CLAIMS THAT JESUS IS GOD.

1. JOHN 1:18 "No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in
the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him." (Most translations say "only
begotten Son". But "Son" is THEOS in the Greek, which means "God").
2. JOHN 12:37-41 "But although He had done so many signs before them, they did
not believe in Him, that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which
he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the
LORD been revealed?" Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said
again: "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see
with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I
should heal them." These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of
Him." --> ISA. 6:1-5.
3. JOHN 20:28 "And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!".
4. MATTHEW 1:21-23 ""And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name
JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins." So all this was done that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His
name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."
5. ACTS 20:28 ""Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among
which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of
God which He purchased with His own blood."
6. ROMANS 9:5 "of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh,
Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen."
7. ROMANS 10:9-13"that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on
Him will not be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and
Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For "whoever
calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." --> JOEL 2:32 "And it shall
come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be
saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the
LORD has said, Among the remnant whom the LORD calls."
8. COLOSSIANS 1:15-18 "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all
creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on
earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or
powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all
things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church,
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have
the preeminence."
9. COLOSSIANS 2:9 "For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead
bodily".
10. 1 TIMOTHY 1:16-17 "However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first
Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to
believe on Him for everlasting life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible,
to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."
11. 1 TIMOTHY 3:15-16 "but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you
ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living
God, the pillar and ground of the truth. And without controversy great is
the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, Justified in
the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on
in the world, Received up in glory."
12. 1 TIMOTHY 6:14-16 "that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless
until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing, which He will manifest in His own time,
He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has
seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen."
13. TITUS 2:13 "looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our
great God and Savior Jesus Christ"
14. 2 PETER 1:1 "Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those
who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God
and Savior Jesus Christ"
 15. 1 JOHN 5:20 "And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an
understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is
true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life."

DEITY OF JESUS

JESUS = IMMANUEL = GOD WITH US

In the Messianic prophecy of Isaiah 7:14, God made it clear that the One who would be
born of the virgin would also be Immanuel, God with us.

WOSHIP ONLY GOD …. AND JESUS IS WORSHIPPED

God plainly states in Exodus 34:14 that man is not to worship any other God. "For thou
shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a
jealous God." Yet Jesus accepted the worship of men because He is God.

JESUS CLAIMED TO I AM

John 8:58 = "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham
was, I am." Proclaimed that He was "I am," a name that only applies to God the
Father.What caused them to riot was that Jesus said plainly that He was Jehovah God,
the "Self-Existent One." (Exodus 3:14) Using the name "I am," He identified Himself as
the One who sent Moses to the children of Israel when they were in captivity in Egypt.

Jesus saying “I am” 23 times in the gospels,

1) John 6:35: “... I AM  the bread of life”

John 6:51: “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of
this bread, he will live forever;”

When Jesus spoke, “I AM the bread of life,” The true bread from heaven. The bread of
God is he who comes down from heaven” he is making His heavenly origins
known.

 2) John 8:12: “I AM the light of the world”

John 1:3-5 “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made
that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines
in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” 

3) John 10:9 “I AM the door.”

John 10:9-11: “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in
and out and find pasture. “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly.” I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”

4) John 10:11 “I AM the Good Shepherd”

John 10:11 “I AM the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the
sheep.

5) John 11:25 “I AM the Resurrection and the Life”

John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I AM the resurrection and the life. He who believes
in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”

THUS JESUS NOT JUST CLAIMING TO BE GOD, BUT PROVING EVERY DETAILS
OF SUCH CLAIM = WISE WILL KNOW AND BELIEVES == SKEPTICS OUT

John 2:19-21 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up  (speaking of the temple of His body.)”

John 10:17-18: “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may
take it again. “No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay
it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My
Father.” Jesus is telling us that He will raise his own dead body up again. It is
one thing to raise others who are dead, it is another thing to raise oneself
from the dead when they are dead.

His claim to be “the resurrection” shows us that he has power over death, even His own,
which no man or prophet could ever claim. Every human who lived ends with death and
we cannot change.

 6) John 14:6 “I AM the way, the truth, and the life”

Jesus said to him, “I AM the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through Me.”

Jesus is explaining three distinct things about Himself. He is 1) “the way.” 2) “the truth”
and 3) “the life.” All are facets of the one God and his grace for mankind to be
reconciled.
7) John 15:1 “I AM the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.”

John 15:5: “He who remains in me, and I in him', says Jesus 'this man bears much
fruit, apart from me you can do nothing'.

10. I AM HE …in garden and all fell down

Which merciful God … who other than Jesus had touched mankind… died to save man
from death… which is real to all..proved there is after life. And challenged death… hai
death where is your victory?... only one who warned if you don’t believe him you will end
in hell….

He is the historical miracle god… red sea, chapel, cloth, manna….

BEST PERSON EVER LIVED = BEST FOR FOR WORSHIP = =JESUS

The object of man's worship, whatever it be, will naturally be his standard of perfection.
He could not transfer to his deities a better character than he himself possessed.
If even some broke into human history as God no one better than Christ,
and no better one can imagined with a better agenda. No other God can be
worshipped with greater gratitude and owe holiness and love power and
exalted miracles
“the great character they have portrayed is perfect. It is the character of a sinless being,
of one supremely wise and supremely good. It exhibits no error, no sinister intention, no
imprudence, no ignorance, no evil passion, no impatience; in a word, no fault; but all is
perfect uprightness, innocence, wisdom, goodness and truth. ”
PILATE, HEROD === NO FAULT SINLESS

The mind of man has never conceived the idea of such a character, even for his gods; nor
has history or poetry shadowed it forth. 

The doctrines and precepts of Jesus are in strict accordance with the attributes of God,
agreeably to the most exalted idea which we can form of them, either from reason or
from revelation.  They are strikingly adapted to the capacity of mankind, and yet are
delivered with a simplicity and majesty wholly divine.  

He spakeas never man spake.  He spake with authority; yet addressed himself to the
reason and the understanding of men; and he spake with wisdom, which men could
neither gainsay nor resist. 

In his private life, he exhibits a character not merely of strict justice, but of flowing
benignity.  He is temperate, without austerity; his meekness and humility are signal; his
patience is invincible; truth and sincerity illustrate his whole conduct; every one of his
virtues is regulated by consummate prudence; and he both wins the love of his friends,
and extorts the wonder and admiration of his enemies.   He is represented in very variety
of situation in life, from the height of worldly grandeur, amid the acclamations of an
admiring multitude, to the deepest abyss of human degradation and woe, apparently
deserted of God and man.  Yet everywhere he is the same; displaying a character of
unearthly perfection, symmetrical in all its proportions, and encircled with splendor
more than human. 

Christ came to show how God is like = 1Jn 4:12

He is the only sinless one lived on earth. If you judge the morality of the person of
Christ by any moral law of the world, He stands perfect and sinless. Perfect even in
reaction. He challenged them by saying who can prove sin in me. The state could not
accuse him of sin. He never made a mistake. Only accusation was that he claimed to the
son of God. He is absolutely trustworthy.
If such person ever lived he was God. It is historical fact that He lived on this
earth. He divided history into two: BC and AD. The Person of Christ is not myth. He is a
historical person.
The whole world is happy at Christmas. Because Christ is the answer for the most
basic problems of mankind, such as sickness, immorality, guilt, sin and death.
He establishes His kingdom not by killing, but by saving. If such person ever
lived he was God. If God exists, Christ’s claims to be God is correct. If God becomes man
he cannot be different from Jesus.
Man cannot imagine a better ideal man than Jesus. It will be best for mankind if
all become like Jesus, and not like anyone else.
He is the only one who was born for the singular purpose of dying for
others.
He was the only one who rose from the dead. Of all the world leaders all died but
only Christ rose from the dead. The empty tomb is the greatest standing monument of
Christian faith.
Christ claimed I am the light. Others showed some light, way, truth. But Christ said
I am the way, light, truth, life. All religions are the futile efforts of man to reach God by
man’s own efforts. Their leaders were first in darkness; then claimed they found some
light. Man is like a born-blind man. He cannot see light because of his own problem, not
because of light. Man by his own effort cannot find God, because man is blind.
But Christ overcame death. He has showed us a world beyond death. The visa to
that world is stamped by His blood. Death is like a seed dying to produce more fruit. All
fear of man is based on fear of death. Christ liberates us from the fear of death. Death
swallowed all religious leaders.
Christ released His life on the cross for every person. Until that time He was
available only to Israel. (Secret, separate wave-length - available to all). When I am lifted
up I will draw all men to me. He prayed for all believers of all times.
Hence the good news is that God comes down to man to save man. The good
news is that God was in Christ reconciled the world to himself.

PRESENT MINISTRY OF CHRIST

Christ is now in heaven seated at the right hand of God having resumed his pre-
incarnation position of preeminence and sovereignty.
His ministry in heaven = He is exercising authority over and sustaining all of the created
order in accordance with the Father’s plan. He is interceding for individual saints and
the Church before the Father. Preparing a place for the believers in heaven.
His ministry to the Church specially includes = acting as head and guardian; being the
chief cornerstone and foundation; cleansing the body of Christ and preparing her to be
his bride; giving spiritually gifted men to the church to equip and build up the church to
maturity in Him.
His ministry to the individual believers includes = indwelling and empowering; making
them dead to sin but alive to Christ; sympathizing with them in their weakness;
extending mercy and grace to help in time of need; enabling believers to bear fruit.

FUTURE MINISTRY - RETURN OF CHRIST

Only Jesus has the legitimate right to judge you for your sins, because he only died
for your sins. Nobody else died for your sins. No one loves you as much Jesus loves you.
He will come in the air to claim His bride, the Church. He will come again to earth in
bodily form, personally and visibly, in order to conclude human history and
consummate God's eternal plan by executing judgment and inaugurating His Millennial
Kingdom reign to be followed by the eternal state (Acts 1:11; 1Thes 4:13-18; Rev 19:11-
21, Rev 21-22).
In His future ministry Christ will return to rapture His church, resurrect dead believers
and transform living believers, oversee the pouring out of judgment on sin during the
tribulation, conclude His marriage to His bride in heaven, conduct the evaluation of
believers in heaven, return in His second coming to judge sin and defeat God's enemies at
Armageddon, and to put everything in subjection to Himself. and hand the kingdom over
to God the Father; reign on earth for 1000 years on David’s throne during the millennial
kingdom in the fulfillment of OT prophecy; cast satan into lake of fire; conduct the great
white throne judgment of unbelievers whom he will resurrect to eternal death; reign
eternally as king of kings and Lord of Lords.

The only Infallible Criterion or Norm of Everything
Some people consider religions, ideologies, political systems and economic systems as
their saviors and render unqualified loyalty to them. But the fact is that these cannot
save man. Only God can save man. The gospel of Jesus Christ is not an ideology but the
good news of what God has done for man in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the absolute
knowledge and absolute criterion. HE IS THE ONLY NORM WITH WHICH TO
EXPOSE THE HYPOCRISY OF ALL BELIEF SYSTEMS AND IDEOLOGIES.
Evil and untruth cannot be analyzed and studied in neat categories. Moreover it
is not necessary that we know all about the evil and untruth. We need only to discern the
evil and get established in the truth. ONLY IN THE SEARCH-LIGHT OF THE
TRUTH IN JESUS CHRIST THAT A PERSON CAN DISCERN THE
UNTRUTH. Be, “wise unto that which is good and simple concerning evil” (Rom
16:19).
Man cannot have a deep sense of meaning without God. Because, GOD IS THE
POINT OF REFERENCE TO ALL THE REALITIES. Jesus Christ gives the
ultimate PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP for man and thus gives the ULTIMATE
MEANING to human life. Only by humbling oneself before the cross of Christ, that we
can have FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD. Nothing else can please God. Man can be
REALLY FREE ONLY THROUGH A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with the
personal God in Jesus Christ. The way you spend eternity will depend on the
relationship you have with Christ.

Jesus Christ Is The Truth And The Eternal Life

“...I am the WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me” (Jn 14:6). “...I am the RESURRECTION, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and
believeth in me shall never die...” (Jn 11:25-26). ETERNAL LIFE is indistinguishable
from the person of Jesus Christ. “That which was from the beginning, which we have
heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands
have handled, of the WORD OF LIFE; For the life was manifested, and we have seen
it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and
was manifested unto us”(1Jn 1:1-2). “And this is the record, thatGod has given to us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life ; and he that hath
not the Son of God hath not life” (1Jn 5:11-12). “And we know that the SON OF GOD is
come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we
are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal
life” (1Jn 5:20). “And THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL, THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW
THEE THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND JESUS Christ, whom thou hast sent” (Jn
17:3). Thus knowing Jesus Christ and being in Him is eternal life for man. Believer will
be knowing God more and more for all eternity. Thus eternal life is an entity, an
objective reality, that is the person of Jesus Christ, who abides in the believer (1Jn 3:15).
ETERNAL LIFE IS NOT JUST EVERLASTING EXISTENCE. (Those in hell will
have everlasting existence, but not eternal life). All those who have Jesus Christ have
eternal life. If Christ is in you and you in Christ, you have eternal life. Apart from Christ
no person can have eternal life. Because “...by him all things consist” (Col 1:17).
ETERNAL LIFE IS EVERLASTING FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD. Eternal death is
everlasting separation from God.
Testing Christianity's Core Truth Claims

I contend that two propositions make up the ineradicable core:

1.) God exists. 2.) Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead. 3. SO JESUS IS
GOD

If these two propositions are accepted, then denying the truth of

Christianity would be irrational. These two core propositions are points of
contact with reality - the existence of God is a metaphysical, philosophical
question and the resurrection of Christ is a historical question.

ii.) Jesus Christ rose from the Dead

"And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." -
Paul (1 Cor.15:14)

Christianity is truly a remarkable religion, staking its credibility entirely

on a singular historical event that seems, at face value, laughable.

1.) Jesus was a man of little repute.

As a Jewish carpenter from the small city of Nazareth, Jesus had disadvantages in
ethnicity, occupation, and location that would severely damage his credibility. 

2.) Jesus died a disgraceful death.

Crucifixion, "the most wretched of deaths,"  was a method of execution devised by

the Romans for intentionally shaming the victim. The theatrics of the flogging, cross-
bearing, and naked nailing to the cross were not simply methods to maximize pain,
they were intended to destroy the credibility of the victim. Christianity's
critics took advantage of this fact, insulting Christians as worshippers of
a "god who died in delusions…executed in the prime of life by the worst
of deaths."

2.) Jesus preached an unpopular message.

The concept of a physical resurrection was implausible to the Jews and repugnant to
the Romans. Jews expected the resurrection to occur at the end of the world for all
people. The Romans, who had little respect for the physical body and much
preferred the ethereal soul, believed that physical resurrection was a disgrace -
according to Celsus corpses "ought to be thrown away as worse than dung." 
 Despite the inherent difficulties, the heart of the Christian message from
the very beginning embraced this obscure Jesus of Nazareth, preaching
his death on a cross and miraculous resurrection. How did the Christian
message overcome all of these obstacles and emerge as the most
successful world religion of all time?

0000000000

GOD THE SON - JESUS CHRIST – APPEARED IN REAL HISTORY VISIBLE

– MOST IMP HISTO EVENT– OUR ONLY POINT OF CONTACT TO GOD
JESUS IS SON OF GOD, SON OF MAN THE PERFECT REVELATION OF GOD =
TRINITY IS THE BACKGROUND REV OF GOD THROUGH WHICH JESUS REV
MADE POSSIBLE.

IDENTITY OF JESUS IS MORE THAN HIS OWN WORDS – SALVATION BY

RELATION WITH THE FULL PERSON OF JESUS THAN INFORMATION OF
HIS WORDS

Unlike other teachers who focused on their words, Jesus pointed people to himself. He
did not say, "follow my words and you will find truth." He said, "I am the way, the truth,
and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me. He said, "I am the light of the
world, he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."  He
claimed attributes belonging only to God: to be able to forgive people of their sin, free
them from habits of sin, give people a more abundant life and give them eternal life in
heaven. Of all the religions known to humanity, only through Jesus will you see God
reaching toward humanity, providing a way for us to have a relationship with him. This
is God, in action. Unlike any other revelation of God, Jesus Christ is the clearest, most
specific picture of God revealing himself to us.

MYSTERY OF GODLINESS NOW REVEALED

Timothy 3:16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was
manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the
Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."A mystery in the Bible is
simply a previously unrevealed truth. In the Old Testament this truth was not stated.
The mystery is about GOD MANIFESTING IN THE FLESH. THE REALITY OF GOD
BEING MANIFESTED IN THE FLESH WAS JUSTIFIED OR CEERTIFIED BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT. HERE THE CONSTRAST IS BETWEEN THE ACTS OF GOD IN
REGARD TO FLESH AND SPIRIT. When the redemptive word of Jesus is JUSTIFIED
IN THE SPIRIT, it is a proclamation that it was NOT THE FLESH THAT IS JUSTIFIED,
BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. The proof and approval or vindication was His resurrection.
JESUS IS THE IMMANUEL - GOD WITH US. Isa 7:14 and Matthew 1:23 Matthew
clearly claimed not only that Christ was born of a virgin, but that this was anticipated by
the prophecy of Isaiah as being the method by which God would become a man.

WOSHIP ONLY GOD IS THE PRINCIPLE IN THE BIBLE AND IN THE

BIBLE JESUS IS WORSHIPPED. God plainly states in Exodus 34:14 that man is
not to worship any other God. "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the
LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." Jesus was worshiped many
times while on the Earth as is proved in the Gospels (See Mt. 2:11, 15:25, 28:17; Mk 3:11,
5:6, 33, 14:33 15:19; Lk 5:8; 8:28, 41, 17:16, 24:52; Jn 9:38; Rev. 5:14). Jesus accepted
the worship of men because He is God.

JESUS CLAIMED TO BE THE I AM

John 8:58 = "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham
was, I am." Using the name "I am," He identified Himself as the One who sent Moses to
the children of Israel when they were in captivity in Egypt. The Jews fully understood
what He had said and were so angry with Him making the statement that they rushed to
kill Him. In John 10:30, Jesus said that "I and my Father are one."

MORE EVIDENCE FOR THE ABSOLUTE DEITY OF CHRIST

"To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be
saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:" 1 Cor 1:2. THUS CHRIST IN
HEAVEN OCCUPIES THE VERY POSITION OF YAHWEH GOD, SINCE HE
IS DEPICTED AS THE ONE ENTHRONED OVER BOTH THE SPIRITUAL
AND PHYSICAL REALMS.

book of revelation
CHRIST WORSHIPPED – THRONE IS NOT A
CHAIR BUT SYMBOLIC OF GOD PRESENCE AND
AUTHORITY
THE TWENTY-FOUR ELDERS ARE SAID TO BE ENCIRCLING THE
THRONE OF GOD, BUT THEY ARE NOT SITTING ON IT, WHEREAS JESUS,
AS WE SAW ABOVE, SITS ON THE DIVINE THRONE AND IS IN ITS VERY
MIDST: "After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number,
from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne
and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and
crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to
the Lamb!’ And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders
and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and
worshiped God, saying, ‘Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and
honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.’ Then one of the
elders addressed me, saying, ‘Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where
have they come?’ I said to him, ‘Sir, you know.’ And he said to me, ‘These are the ones
coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made
them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter
them with his presence. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun
shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the
throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living
water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’" Revelation 7:9-17

THIS SHOWS THAT THESE ELDERS ARE NOT JUST ENCIRCLING GOD
BUT ALSO CHRIST WHO IS IN THE MIDST OF THE DIVINE THRONE.
SECOND, ACCORDING TO REVELATION 4 THE TWENTY-FOUR ELDERS,
AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE HOST OF HEAVEN, ARE WORSHIPING GOD:
"After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice,
which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, ‘Come up here, and I will show
you what must take place after this.’ At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne
stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. And he who sat there had the
appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the
appearance of an emerald. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on
the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on
their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of
thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven
spirits of God, and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And
around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in
front and behind: the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an
ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an
eagle in flight. And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes
all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, ‘Holy, holy, holy, is the
Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!’ And whenever the living creatures
give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever
and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the
throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their
crowns before the throne, saying, ‘Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive
glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and
were created.’" Revelation 4:1-11.

WHAT MAKES THIS TRULY ASTONISHING IS THAT IN THE VERY NEXT

CHAPTER JOHN SEES ALL CREATION, NOT JUST THESE ELDERS,
GIVING JESUS THE VERY EXACT SAME WORSHIP: "Then I saw in the right
hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back,
sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, ‘Who is
worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?’ And no one in heaven or on earth or
under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to
weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. And
one of the elders said to me, ‘Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the
Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.’ And
between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb
standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are
the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And he went and took the scroll from
the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. And when he had taken the
scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down
before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense,
which are the prayers of the saints… Then I looked, and I heard around the
throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels,
numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with
a loud voice, ‘Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and
wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!’ And I heard EVERY
CREATURE in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea,
and all that is in them, saying, ‘To him who sits on the throne AND TO THE
LAMB be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!’ And the four living
creatures said, ‘Amen!’ and the elders fell down and worshiped." Revelation 5:1-8, 11-14

JOHN’S REFERENCE TO EVERYTHING IN HEAVEN, ON AND

UNDERNEATH THE EARTH, AS WELL AS IN THE SEA IS A DELIBERATE
ALLUSION TO THE DECALOGUE WHICH PROHIBITS THE FAITHFUL
FROM WORSHIPING ANYTHING LOCATED IN THESE PLACES: "And God
spoke all these words, saying, I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall
not make for yourself a carved 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. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a
jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the
fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of
those who love me and keep my commandments.’" Exodus 20:1-6

JOHN SAYS EVERY CREATED THING WHICH THE DECALOGUE FORBIDS

FROM BEING WORSHIPED ARE THEMSELVES WORSHIPING JESUS
CHRIST! AND TO REPEAT WHAT WE SAID EARLIER, IF JESUS WERE
SIMPLY A CREATURE THAN IT WOULD BE A GRAVE SIN FOR ALL
CREATION EVERYWHERE TO WORSHIP HIM AS THEY DO GOD. In fact,
this would be in clear violation of the Decalogue which forbids any creature from
receiving such honor and praise.

IN CONCLUSION, A CAREFUL AND ACCURATE READING OF THE HOLY

BIBLE, GOD’S WORD, DEMONSTRATES THAT THE RISEN LORD JESUS
OCCUPIES A POSITION IN HEAVEN WHICH THE INSPIRED SCRIPTURES
PLAINLY STATE THAT GOD ALONE ASSUMES. Christ, according to the
inspired New Testament Scriptures, has assumed one of the unique roles which
differentiate Yahweh from his creatures, namely, his reigning as the Sovereign Lord of
all creation.
JESUS IS PEACE AND TRUTH
1. EPH 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down
the middle wall of partition between us;
2. COL 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to
reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or
things in heaven.
3. Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ:
4. 2 cor 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not
imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation.
0000000000000000

JESUS EXERCISED POWERS WHICH ONLY GOD CAN

He forgives sin. He has the power to raise the dead and judge final judgment.  Jesus has
power over sickness and death. His ability to control nature. Jesus cast out demons

HIS UNIQUE MORAL CHARACTER "Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?" His
sinlessness was completely contrary to the experience of the saints and mystics
throughout the ages. "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."
Even Pilate, who sentenced Jesus to death, asked, "What evil has he done?" After
listening to the crowd, Pilate concluded, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it
yourselves." The Roman centurion who assisted in the crucifixion of Christ said, "Surely
he was the Son of God." Jesus was tempted, yet without sin = BLAMELESS,
GUILTLESS, FAULTLESS. 4 courts tried but found guiltless. Experts of Jewish law and
Roman law tried Jesus but could not find any fault with him but killed just because he
claimed to be God.

HISTORICAL SUPERIORITY OF JESUS. Although Jesus’ ministry lasted only a

short period of nearly three and a half years, it had a world-shattering effect. THE
CHARACTER OF JESUS: 1. The Love of Jesus
2. Relieving the Weary. 3. Feeding the Hungry 4. Healing the sick 5. Freeing the demon-
possessed from demonic power. 6. The Compassion of Jesus
7. Lamenting over the impending destruction of Jerusalem. 8. Raising the the dead. 3.
Jesus: the Good Shepherd 4. The Holiness of Jesus 5. The Humility of Jesus 6. The
Peaceful and Non-violent Nature of Jesus, the Prince of Peace 7. The Authority of Jesus,
the Christ to heal the sick, forgive sins, cast out demons, for creation, over the nature.
 OLD TESTAMENT AND NEW TESTAMENT PROPHECIES AWAITING
FULFILMENT AT CHRIST'S SECOND COMING.
The last public view the world had of Jesus Christ was that of a bleeding, dying, crucified
one between the criminals, covered with blood, spit, and flies, hanging naked in
Jerusalem. After His resurrection, He never appeared in a public venue before
unbelievers. Plenty of believers saw Him, touched Him, spoke to Him, and gave
unanimous testimony that He was risen from the dead. But there is no record that
unbelievers ever saw Him. But the unbelieving world will see His glory displayed to
everyone. Scripture says, "Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many,
will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly
await Him" Heb 9:28. The Savior who was humiliated, and put to death in a public
display of humanity's hatred of God will return as conquering Lord in view of the entire
world Lk 21:25-27. And every eye will see Him Rev 1:7. The destruction of Satan and the
hope of the Saints demands It 

There had to be a second Adam to undo the mistake of the first Adam. And
that is what God promised.

THE ENTIRE SCRIPTURE IS WITNESSING THE DEITY

OF JESUS
A simple and unprejudiced reading of the following scripture portions can convince any
normal person that, denying the deity of Jesus is nothing but playing with eternal fire.
More research will provide anyone with more accurate verses which will reinforce the
same argument. JN5:39 Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have
eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; JN 14:16-17 And I will pray the
Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you forever, even
the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholds him not, neither knows
him: ye know him; for He abides with you, and shall be in you. JN 15:26 But when the
Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth,
which proceeds from the Father, he shall bear witness of me. The very execution of
Jesus was for claiming to be God – claim of Jesus to be God was taken as blasphemy. At
least Jesus made such claims is clear.

Arguments against the Deity of Jesus are

Invalid

ONLY GOD IS GOOD – SO JESUS IS NOT GOD = BAD ARGU

Mark 10:17-18 “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said
to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. If you use that
verse to prove the argument that Jesus is not god, then you will have to even say that
Jesus is not even good, but bad. Hence considering Jesus as not god is considering Jesus
as bad. If Jesus is good, then he is god. This is a very strange turn out of the
argument indeed.
MY FATHER AND YOUR FATHER, MY GOD AND YOUR GOD - HENCE
JESUS NOT GOD.John 20:17 - Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not
yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to
my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”This verse does not deny
His identity as God, because He already said I and my Father are one.
"THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I" (John 14:28; see also 1 Corinthians 15:20-
28). This argument is meant to show that Jesus is not equal with the Father, and is
therefore not God. This argument is wrong because it attempts to prove that the Father
and the Son are not equal in one sense in order to prove that they are not equal in some
other sense. According to the doctrine of the Trinity, the Father and the Son are equal in
the ontological sense. That is, they are equal in nature, being, value, etc. But all that
John 14:28 and 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 can show is that Jesus is not equal with the
Father in a functional sense.
COLOSSIANS 1:15. "FIRSTBORN OF ALL CREATION" IS MISTAKEN TO
MEAN "THE FIRST THING THAT WAS CREATED". "Firstborn" is a messianic
title when used of Jesus in Colossians 1:15. It does not refer to his creation. The whole
passage is about Jesus' preeminence over creation. The argument is that Jesus is
preeminent over creation because he created it all, and He sustains it all. It was made by
Him and for Him. If "firstborn of all creation" means "the first thing that was created,"
then the whole passage becomes incoherent.
THERE ARE SOME THINGS WHICH JESUS DOES NOT KNOW, HENCE
JESUS IS NOT GOD. One example is Mark 13:32 which says there's at least one thing
that Jesus does not know. If there's something Jesus does not know, then Jesus is not
all-knowing. If Jesus is not all knowing, and God is all knowing, then Jesus is not God.
The answer to Mark 13:32 can be found in Philippians 2:5-11. In this passage, it says that
Jesus emptied himself, taking on the form of a servant. What does it mean when it says
he emptied himself? Jesus gave up the independent use of his divine attributes when he
became a man. Although he still had his divine attributes, he did not make use of them.
MARK 10:18. JESUS IS REFERRED TO AS "GOOD TEACHER," AND JESUS
SAID, "WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD? NOBODY IS GOOD BUT GOD
ALONE." So the critics argue that Jesus is not good and hence not God. But this is
invalid. The Bible says Jesus is completely without sin. Jesus is good in every sense of
the word. Contrary to denying that He is God in Mark 10:18, Jesus is claiming to be God.
He is using the other man's own words and taking them to their logical conclusion.
THIS IS HIS ARGUMENT: 1. ONLY GOD IS GOOD. 2. JESUS IS GOOD. 3.
THEREFORE, JESUS IS GOD. Jesus provided the first premise, the other man provided
the second premise, and the conclusion follows necessarily. We cannot deny the first
premise, because Jesus himself said it. We cannot deny the second premise either,
because the Bible is clear that Jesus was spotless, blameless, and perfectly without sin.
Hence it logically follows that Jesus is God.

NOWHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT SAY THAT JESUS IS GOD. SO JESUS IS

NOT GOD AND GOD IS NOT JESUS.The critics argue that throughout the New
Testament of the Bible, Jesus referred to himself as “son of man”, He never possessed
the Divine ability of GOD, He never was self-sufficient or all-knowledgeable. Moreover
He prayed to GOD, and hence Jesus is not God. All these are right. Jesus was even the
servant of God. And as a man on earth He prayed to Father in heaven. He has a God is
heaven. And God is not a man. In spite of all these facts, still Jesus is God because He is
the revelation of the only true God. God revealed Himself as another person in the man
Jesus.

THE CRITICS ARGUE THAT GOD CANNOT BE SEEN WITH THE NAKED
EYE. NO ONE HAS SEEN GOD. BUT JESUS WAS SEEN, HENCE JESUS IS
NOT GOD.But the fact is that Jesus is the visible revelation of the invisible God.

THERE ARE MANY INDIRECT EVIDENCES JESUS GAVE FOR HIS DEITY.
Jesus said I AM SON OF GOD (Jn 10:36). Jews understood this as equating himself
with God. Hence they tried to stone and kill Jesus for blasphemy. Peter said that Jesus is
the Son of the living God. When Pilate asked Jesus are you the Son of God, Jesus
responded saying, You say I am. What we need to understand is that the expression
SON OF GOD MEANS THE REVELATION OF GOD. Moreover the statements in the
Bible such as: He that honors not son, honors not Father, that Jesus is the one who gives
Holy Spirit in plenty to who asks Him, that Jesus is greater than the temple of God, that
the Son of man is Lord of Sabbath, that Jesus accepted worship, the statement in Rev
21:6-7 that I am alpha and Omega, that I will be his God, that Jesus has the exact nature
of God, that one who has seen me has seen the Father (Jn 14:9), that I was before
Abraham, that whatever Father does Jesus does,… and such numerous other statements
CLEARLY PROVE THAT JESUS IS THE VISIBLE HUMAN REVELATION OF THE
INVISIBLE SPIRIT GOD.

THUS WE CAN CLEARLY SEE THE ILLEGITIMACY OF THE CLAIM - IF

JESUS DID NOT CLAIM THAT – IAM GOD – THEN JESUS CANNOT BE
GOD. MAN CANNOT DEFINE PARAMETERS FOR GOD’S MODE OF
OPERATION. The critics are so unreasonable that they claim that they are ready to
believe what is not in the Bible, provided we can show it to them. But the fact is that they
don’t even believe so many obvious things that are clearly stated in the Bible by Jesus
about his death, resurrection etc. Hence their demand is unreasonable and unjustifiable.
No man can say that he will believe in God only if God shall do such and such things in
accordance with the whims and fancies of that man. Some critics claim that if Jesus had
said Jesus had said in unequivocal and unambiguous terms that I AM GOD WORSHIP
MEN, then they shall believe in Jesus as God. But the problem in their claim is that the
very expression unequivocal and unambiguous is VERY RELATIVE. It varies from
person to person. E.g. some atheists believe in God when some evidence is given. But
others will not believe even if all possible evidence is given. No amount of evidence is
enough for them. Still others believe in God without any evidence. The critics are
thinking in terms of the false evidentialistic expectations. For example, when Jesus was
on the cross, the high priests challenged Him saying, right now you come down from
cross we will see and believe (Mk 15:31-32). But Jesus did no address their challenge.
Thomas also one day asked for evidence (Jn 20:25-29). But Jesus rebuked him. Hence
we should notice that it is not the policy of God to give any amount of evidence to satisfy
the whims and fancies of the skeptics, who cannot believe even with any amount of
evidence.The whole Bible is saying in one voice that Jesus is God. The whole Bible
together stands to prove that Jesus is God and that to worship Him is best for you.

MOREOVER AN UNEQUIVOCAL AND UNAMBIGOUS STATEMENT SUCH

AS - I AM GOD WORSHIP ME - ITSELF DOES NOT MAKE ANY POINT –
ANY ONE CAN MAKE IT.Simply because one makes an unequivocal and
unambiguous statement such as I AM GOD, I AM SCHOLAR, I AM PRESIDENT ETC
will not make him one. On the other hand even, even without making such a statement
God is God, and Jesus is God. Backing up the claim is more important than the claim
itself. Jesus backs up the claim of Bible that Jesus is God, without Himself making the
claim. This all the more makes him richly worthy of that post. Moreover Jesus said, if I
testify of myself my testimony is not true. Hence had Jesus said I am God worship me,
that would have become an inappropriate statement.

JESUS NEVER TRIED TO PROVE HIMSELF.Jesus was never in a hurry to prove

Himself. Jesus never did a miracle to prove he is God. That was not his purpose in the
First coming. He even asked some people not to reveal His identity.

ARGUMENTS JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AGAINST

DEITY OF JESUS EASILY REFUTED IN REV
THEO
The Father is God. Jesus is not the Father. Hence Jesus is not God. The first premise
(that the Father is God) is really meant to say that  only the Father is God,
which is the issue under dispute.
IF GOD IS ONE PERSON, AND JESUS IS DISTINGUISHED FROM GOD,
THEN JESUS IS NOT GOD. BUT WHETHER GOD IS ONE PERSON IS THE
ISSUE UNDER DISPUTE.
JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD, NOT GOD HIMSELF. AGAIN, THIS
ARGUMENT ONLY WORKS IF YOU ASSUME GOD IS ONE PERSON.
JESUS IS THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, SO JESUS IS NOT
GOD HIMSELF (1 Timothy 2:5). But this argument only works if you beg the question
BY ASSUMING THAT GOD IS ONLY ONE PERSON.
THE FATHER IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD, SO JESUS IS NOT GOD (JOHN
17:3). The passage says that the Father is the only true God. It does not say that only the
Father is God. There is only one true God. But both the Father and the Son can be God
as the revelations of the same one God. Hence , the Father is the only true God, and the
Son is also the only true God.
ARGUMENT FROM JESUS' SUBORDINATION: "THE FATHER IS GREATER
THAN I" (John 14:28; see also 1 Corinthians 15:20-28). This argument is
meant to show that Jesus is not coequal with the Father, and is therefore
not God. According to the doctrine of the Trinity, the Father and the Son are equal in
the ontological sense. That is, they are equal in nature, being, value, etc. But all John
14:28 and 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 show is that Jesus is not equal with the Father in a
functional sense.
PASSAGES THAT SUPPOSEDLY SHOW THAT JESUS WAS CREATED. IF
HE WAS CREATED, THEN HE'S NOT GOD. One of those arguments comes from
the fact that he is called the "firstborn of all creation" in Colossians 1:15. "Firstborn of all
creation" is taken to mean "the first thing that was created.
Heb 1: this day I have begotten you
IF THERE'S SOMETHING JESUS DOES NOT KNOW, THEN JESUS IS NOT
ALL-KNOWING. IF JESUS IS NOT ALL KNOWING, AND GOD  IS ALL
KNOWING, THEN JESUS IS NOT GOD. The answer to Mark 13:32 can be
found in Philippians 2:5-11. JESUS EMPTIED HIMSELF, TAKING ON THE
FORM OF A SERVANT. Jesus gave up the independent use of his divine attributes
when he became a man. Although he still had his divine attributes, he did not make use
of them.
CONTRARY TO DENYING THAT HE'S GOD IN MARK 10:18, JESUS
IS CLAIMING TO BE GOD. HE IS USING THE OTHER MAN'S OWN LOGIC
TO LEAD HIM TO THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION ABOUT THE DEITY OF
JESUS. It is like this: Only God is good. Jesus is good. Hence Jesus is God. Jesus
provided the first premise, the other man provided the second premise, and the
conclusion follows necessarily. We can't deny the first premise, because Jesus himself
said it. We can't deny the second premise either, because the Bible is clear that Jesus
was spotless, blameless, and perfectly without sin.

ARGUMENTS AGAINST DEITY OF JESUS = ALL SUCH

ARGUMENTS BECOME INVALID ONLY IN THE FACE OF THE
REV THEO = JESUS IS REV OF GOD.

God cannot be tempted (James 1:13). Jesus was tempted in every way
(Hebrews 4:15). Therefore Jesus cannot be God." Therefore, Jesus was both God
and man while on earth. Jesus in His humanity could be "tempted," but the essence of
His Deity within did not allow such temptation to have any real power because He was
also God. 

God is Spirit (John 4:24). But Jesus is not a Spirit, but flesh and blood (Luke
24:39)."

God does not change according to James 1:17 in the NIV. But Luke 2:52
shows how Jesus changed and grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor
with God and men. Therefore, Jesus cannot be God." The physical growth and
growing in wisdom and "in favor" have nothing to do with inner character and essence,
this alleged contradiction fails to prove anything against the Deity of Jesus or the
doctrine of the Trinity.

God cannot die according to 1 Timothy 1:17. Jesus died for our sins (1
Corinthians 15:3). Therefore, Jesus cannot be God." God is said to be
invisible that means He cannot be seen. Yet why is it recorded that God has
been "seen" in passages like Exodus 33:20-23 and 24:11? It is not a
contradiction, but an example of God manifesting His power by doing what
we would consider "impossible" under normal circumstances. Normally,
God is invisible. But that does not preclude the fact that God can manifest
and make Himself visible at will. The same is also true for His eternality. If God
has the power to manifest in human, mortal flesh then it stands to reason
that under such circumstances that He could "die" (at least the physical
manifestation could). Thus under normal conditions, unchanged by God
Himself, God cannot die, but the doctrine of the incarnation spoken of in
John 1:1-14 is manifestly abnormal. Therefore, Jesus, as God incarnate, can
die for our sins without any alleged contradiction with the nature of God as
an eternal Being. This argument is actually a slap in the face of God's
omnipotence, since it ultimately seeks to argue that God cannot become
human and yet remain God because He was essentially God from eternity.
God knows everything there is to know (Isaiah 46:10). But Jesus did not
know everything there is to know (Mark 13:32; Luke 2:52). Therefore, Jesus
cannot be God." This argument also has no validity because it assumes that if God
becomes human and takes on human limitations that this necessarily means He cannot
be God. Christian theology proper has no problem with Jesus being God and needing
sleep and food, and it certainly has no problem with this same Jesus choosing not to
know ONE specific thing on earth, prior to His resurrection and glorification, for
whatever purpose He had in mind.

God does not grow weary or tired (Isaiah 40:28, NASB). Jesus became
weary in John 4:6. Therefore Jesus cannot be God."

If Jesus is God, how could he die for our sins? ...God cannot die, yet Jesus
was killed and then resurrected (Acts 5:30). The Bible does not say that only his
'human nature' died; it says that Jesus died, which would include all of Jesus (100%). "

How can Jesus be 'God' and have a 'God' at the same time?...Jesus Christ
cannot be 'God' if he says that our heavenly Father is his 'God.' You cannot
be the 'Most High God' and be in submission to the 'Most High God' (1
Cor.15:28) and say that He is your God. THIS IS FINAL PROOF THAT
JESUS IS REV OF GOD.

DEF OF SON OF GOD

The expression Son of God is not used in the Bible in the normal sense of a son born of
father and mother. God’s son is God’s revelation or manifestation in human form son of
man Jesus. God was manifested as the son, so that by faith in Him we can become sons
of God.
JESUS PRAYS TO FATHER PROVES TRINITY – BUT DOES NOT PROVE
THAT JESUS IS NOT GOD
JESUS SPEAKS ABOUT ANOTHER GOD. SO JESUS NOT GOD – IS NOT
VALID WHEN UNDERSTOOD WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE
REVELATION THEOLOGY AND TRINITY AS A REVELATION OF GOD.
JESUS NOT OMNICIENT - GOD JESUS WHO CANNOT KNOW WHETHER
THERE IS FRUIT IN THE FIG TREE. But the Bible does not say Jesus did not
know it. The Bible writes what the disciples understood about the behavior of Jesus. IT
IS A SUBJECTIVE IMPRESSION. THE OBJECTIVE REALITY WAS THE DISPLAY OF
THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS that the tree was dried out. The key point is that one has
to believe in Jesus. And also that God expects fruits from us in all seasons. But regarding
supernatural knowledge of Jesus one should consider the cases of Jesus speaking details
about Nathaniel, about the coin in the mouth of the fish, that Peter will deny Him 3
times, knowledge about the death of Lazarus etc.
JESUS NOT GOD BECAUSE HE WAS CIRCUMCISED. He succumbed to this to
fulfill the law and that those who believe in Him are freed from that law.
WHY JESUS PRAYED AND DENIED. Not answered by Father in saving Jesus
from death because, death of Jesus was the only way to save mankind. Jesus prayed as a
man and it proved His human nature which has unwillingness to succumb to death and
also due to the awareness of the terror of death, to prove that death is not a pleasant
thing to go to it with smiling. But the prayer of Jesus was answered in the manner of
resurrection from the death.
IN BECOMING MAN JESUS EMPTIED HIS GLORY AND SUBJECTED
HIMSELF TO THE LIMITATIONS OF MAN. THE CRITICS ARE WRONG IN
TAKING THE HUMAN NATURE OF JESUS ARE IMPERFECTIONS OF GOD.
JESUS TAUGHT TO WORSHIP GOD ONLY AND THAT ONLY GOD IS GOOD. But as
no one could prove that Jesus is not Good, and not sinless, it is very clear that Jesus is
that GOD HIMSELF. It was just indirect way of saying that Jesus Himself is God. Jesus
never said he is not God and they should not worship Jesus. When they worshipped
Jesus, He did not oppose it. Bible proves Jesus is God in various other contexts also.
THE CRITICS HAVE NO PROGRESSIVE GRASP OF BIBLE DOCTRINES.
They take a few verses from here and there and misinterpret them to suit their view. The
disciples had a progressive understanding of Jesus. The progressive
revelation principle is very important in rightly understanding the Bible
truth. Until the resurrected Jesus appeared before him, even apostle Thomas did not
believe Jesus is God. And later in the book of acts we can see the historical fact that even
many Jewish priests believed that Jesus is the Messiah, and became Christians.
JESUS HIMSELF SAID THAT HE IS THE SON OF GOD, those who see me see
father, I and father are one, if not honor son not honor father, if hear me hear father,
only son has seen father, the Son gives eternal life, I am eternal life. These are
sufficient evidences for faith and to believe in the deity of Jesus. If more
evidence is given faith becomes irrelevant.
HOW CAN BOTH THE ONE WHO SENDS AND THE SENT BE ONE? WITHIN
THE ALMIGHTY NATURE OF GOD THE ONE WHO SENDS AND THE ONE WHO IS
SENT, BOTH CAN BE ONE. It is all the more within the revelation theology.
THE REALIZATION AND FAITH IN JESUS AS THE CREATOR GOD AND
SAVIOR IS A SPIRITUAL EXPEERIENCE UNIQUE FOR EACH PERSON.

SOME REASONS THE CRITICS LIST TO ARGUE THAT JESUS IS NOT GOD!
 
Jesus is not all powerful and all knowing, Jesus never said I am God, Jesus is the son of
man, the OT tells us not to trust the son of man, Jesus was GIVEN power and authority,
he did not own it, Jesus was sent to a specific nation only, not to mankind, Jesus denied
being good in the sense that God is good, Jesus could not save anyone, Jesus’ believers
did NOT believe he was God neither, will you worship Jesus, or the one Jesus
worshiped?, God comes out of a woman? God is a helpless baby? If Jesus was God, his
disciples should have said this clearly.  Instead, they kept preaching that Jesus was
God’s Christ.

SOME ARGUE LORD IS NOT GOD. But they are wrong.

PAUL BELIEVED THAT JESUS IS NOT GOD: THIS IS A WRONG

ASSUMPTION. PAUL NEVER SAID JESUS IS NOT GOD. WHEN THE
STATEMENTS OF PAUL ARE UNDERSTOOD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
REVELATION THEOLOGY SUCH APPARENT CONTRADICTIONS VANISH.
The verse they wrongly quote are - “I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ
Jesus and the elect angels, to keep these instructions...”(1 Timothy 5:21). “In the sight of
God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before
Pontius Pilate made the good confession...” (1 Timothy 6:13). “the appearing of our Lord
Jesus Christ, which God will bring about in his own time.” (1 Timothy 6:14-15). “God,
the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal
and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see.  To him be
honor and might forever.” (1 Timothy 6:15-16). Paul went on teaching that Jesus was not
God, but that he was the Christ (see Acts 9:22 and 18:5). Paul spoke of God as  “The God
who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not
live in temples built by hands.” (Acts 17:24).  Then he identified Jesus as “the man he
(i.e. God) has appointed.” (Acts 17:31). “I admit that I worship the God of our
fathers...” (Acts 24:14). “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers,
has glorified his servant Jesus.”(Acts 3:13). Paul said that there is “one God and Father
of all...” (Ephesians 4:6). “...for us there is but one God, the Father . . . and there is but
one Lord, Jesus Christ...” (1 Corinthians 8:6).
THE CRITICS ARGUE THAT GOD AND JESUS ARE TWO SEPARATE
BEINGS - BECAUSE THEY FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THE REVELATION
THEOLOGY. THE CRITICS TRY TO GIVE EVIDENCE FROM THE GOSPEL
OF JOHN THAT JESUS IS NOT GOD BASED ON VERSES SUCH AS THE
FOLLOWING. THIS THEY DO BECAUSE THEY FAIL TO UNDERSTAND
THE REVELATION THEOLOGY: Jesus is: “the beginning of God’s
creation” (Revelation 3:14, also see 1 Corinthians 8:6 and Colossians 1:15).  “...the Father
is greater than I.” (John 14:28).  “...I live because of the Father...” (John 6:57). “By
myself I can do nothing...” (John 5:30). “I am returning to my Father and your Father,
to my God and your God.” (John 20:17). “...you are determined to kill me, a man who
has told you the truth that I heard from God.” (John 8:40).  “Father, if you are willing,
take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” (Luke 22:42).  “My God, my
God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46). “Father, into your hands I commit
my spirit.” (Luke 23:46).  When Jesus knelt down and prayed he obviously was not
praying to himself (see Luke 22:41).  He was praying to his God.
