Was Jesus telling the truth when He claimed to be God?

[macroman52]

What kind of person does that? A lunatic?

[wachnathan]

Thats what the bible says but we weren't there to confirm it.

[TheNicholas0202]

How many times did Jesus say he was the Son Of God? Many times. Matthew 5,18 - Jesus says 'God's Law' not 'My Law'. Jesus said the Father not 'Me'. Jesus is not God. The Messiah, Christ. That is what he is. He never ever said I Am God, I created the universe or anything like that.

-your statement makes no sense.... The incarnated Lord God of Isreal would not go around speaking like some egotistical Roman ceasar. He had already given His people the Law & the prophets so that they would recognize Him when he came. Abraham & all the prophets already knew that God would redeem the nation & entire creation from sin& iniquity.Abraham was counted righteous because of his faith. Jesus made clear He was before Abraham & that the prophets told of Him as Redeemer

[TheNicholas0202]

Jesus is the Son of God.

[EducatingTheAtheists]

Indeed... and what kind of man says:

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

John 8:58

The same one that said this perhaps?:

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Exodus 3:14

Jesus is God...

[SmalltimR]

The concept does not harmonize with the scriptures. It seems as though Jesus was the first creation on the scene from his father(YHWH or Jehovah) and thus was rightfully the beginning of all things know to man. However... there is no way to reconcile that Jesus and His father are the same person without compromising on a number of scriptures and so I really don't see why so many people run with that. We can't claim to have bible as truth if were overlooking or changing scriptures in the process.

[SmalltimR]

Try this on for size.

God the almighty is without beginning or end. He is both timeless and unchanging. Jesus(God's son) was God's first creation and vessel through which all things were created. Why? Because even the heavens of the heavens cannot contain the Almighty. Therefore, through Jesus, all things came, including redemption.

Jesus is the first and the last. However... despite all things, he never looses sight of who we should worship. His Father, the Almighty Jehovah!

Perfection.

[LogosApologia]

" I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him." (Da 7:13)
