This keeps coming up on thread after thread, so I thought I'd capture it here where I can link to it in the future.
As it might appear on David Letterman, I give you...
10 - Thomas called Him God
Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." -- John 20:27-28
9 - Peter called Him God
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours -- 2 Peter 1:1
8 - Paul called Him God
…while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ... - Titus 2:13
7 - John called Him God
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. -- John 1:1-3
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father,
full of grace and truth. -- John 1:14
6 - Isaiah called Him God
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
5 - Jews wanted to stone Him for claiming to be God
In his defense Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working." For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. -- John 5:18
But Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” "We are not stoning you for any good work,"
they replied, "but for blasphemy, because
you, a mere man, claim to be God." - John 10:33
4 - He gave life and forgave sins, something only God can do.
My sheep listen to my voice;
I know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;
no one will snatch them out of my hand.
My Father, who has given them to me,
is greater than all;
no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
I and the Father are one." - John 10:27-28
3 - Jesus' blood is God's blood
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. -- Acts 20:28
2 - Jesus called Himself "I AM" and the "Alpha & Omega", both Titles for God
"Very truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!” At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. - John 8:58
"Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. **I am **
the Alpha and the Omega,
the First and the Last,
the Beginning and the End. -- Rev 22:12
1 - God the Father called Him God
For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father" ? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son" ?
And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him.” In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire."
But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. - Hebrews 1:5-8
Thanks to this link for pulling this together:
I believe that Yashua, (Jesus) is the son of YAHVAH, (God) but not God. The reason is spoken of in scripture.
I would like to tell others more of this truth using Isaiah 55. This chapter is all about the Messiah. What he was to do, and how he was to interact with others.
Blessings for this wonderful post... :D
I looked there. Didn't see much about the Messiah...?
But I loved this passage:
God bless you, it is prophesied in Isaiah 7:14 and Isaiah 9:6. About the messiah. God with us! Also John 1:1 and 1:14 shows that God has come in the flesh. That is the whole purpose of Jesus Christ. He is the perfect man, because He was God incarnated in the flesh. Which is the mystery revealed to us in these last days.
To further clarify please read 1 Timothy 3:16
God bless you in all of your studies!
Glad to see your post. I'm an evangelist and apologist from Germany and a believer in the Trinity and the divinity of the Lord Jesus. What denominiation do you belong to if I may ask? God bless you!
Great to know about you :)
the second post was for @czechmate, seems like it appears on the bottom of all. :)
A Bible Believer currently teaching a country Methodist church Sunday school to be Bible Believers.
I´ve just entered to see the promoted list and by pure curiosity opened one of you posts and red John 3:36, what a resume of the gospel, simple as that, Jesus is life and there in nothing else. Looking trough your older post found some interesting thoughts. Thanks for having the courage and boldness to share the so needed Bible Truth though they are not necessarily the most voted, certainly most needed. I´ve been encouraged by this. Keep up the good work. ...I like the Bible Believers title, I would improve it maybe to the Jesus of the Bible believers. Following you, are you one of the founders of Cryptonomex? Will read some more info. :)
Only in our hypocrite minds.
Believe what you want.
These religions already have a long history and a great future.
LOL :) My father was a big baptist minister in NYC. I never paid attention to any of that shit. It's pretty much common knowledge at this point.
Are you really a Christian? I apologize. I don't like to make fun of others beliefs. ❤️
