jesus never said he was god. Quote a verse from the bible where Jesus says, "I'M GOD"..you know the saying yourself. OUR FATHER...not I FATHER...OUR lord in heaven..not ME lord in heaven

lol. Jesus is a Prophet of God. He fell down in submission to GOd; one word to describe submission to God is Islam in arabic. Jesus taught that God is greater than him; just as i say Allahu Akbar. :) God is greatest.

@40areasg the Trinity. "I and the Father are one" - Jesus. look up the original greek - it means in essence. they are completely unified - yet different persons. both God.

@40areasg John 6:35 "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger" God controls life. John 14:16 "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me" he is the passage way/connection to the Father. A son is part of his Father, Jesus is part of his father on Earth. He existed before coming to earth. John 8:58 "Truly, Truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am" and "Ehyeh asher ehyeh" I am that I am God said it to Moses, Jesus also said it

ive seen some radical comments on here... i think this poem was on point... no matter ur beliefs u gotta seek truth cause once man touches ur holy books it is flawed period

[yeabuddy333]

@40areasg John 14:6-7 - Jesus said to him, “I AM the way, the truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

John 14:9-11 - 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'?”

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.”

theres more but it wont fit

@Difrint Its called Give Em' Hell

[blainethebassist]

@EvidentTruth but still you're entitled to your own beliefs and that's fine. Just don't get all offended if someone says they think your beliefs are wrong because that's hypocritical. Getting offended if someone disagrees with your faith and then say "I'm entitled to my own belief!". Getting all defensive. He wasn't insulting you. Just saying he thinks religion is bull shit and just a bunch of murderous gangs that kill each other.

@40areasg also if you read john chapter 1 its pretty clear in the begining that his disciples understood he was God; "in the begining was the word (jesus) and the word was with God, and the word WAS GOD.. and the word became flesh"
