@gnolmahp Man i am getting tired to answer the atheists on richard dawkins vidios !that is what we need to attend the most as he is driving lazy people towards atheism and it is not as simple as it looks as they have a v strong political motive behind .they work like a team to answer and well organized.please go to these sites and break this ignorance ,u have to answer to your lord for this,you have an ability to express yrself and knowledge,

[gnolmahp]

@iltamian Jesus wasn't afraid to say it explicitly, otherwise why would the Jews accuse him for this very reason he was crucified? They claimed he was blasphemous to claim to be God. The reason why it wasn't explicit was the same for the "clever" responses he gave when people asked him "what is the greatest commandment", "should we pay taxes", etc. When God sent Moses, he said to refer to him as "I am". A spiritual leader isn't always expected to be explicit to achieve his goals.

@gnolmahp do not you call a priest father? when the message is the same the goal is the same then the full teem is even one???i am sure you herd this from the sports even! i believe that if Jesus says" I am God "then there is discussion.Jesus dealt the evils directly and he fought with the most powerful enemies bravely you think he was scared to say it directly???? It was created for political reasons !

[gnolmahp]

@iltamian John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” There are more examples ... please do a simple google search before making that claim.

[iltamian]

Jesus never claimed to be God anywhere in the bible! sad to hear from this man an unconfirmed statement.
