I been heard some Religious religion that they said Jesus is not a God... but Jesus is only a Mediator and a Sacred Man.... why???? they said only the PREACHER claims that Jesus is God but.... those 12 APOSTLES never said that Jesus is a God are there any verses in the Holy Bible that claims Jesus is God c/o any of his apostles or saints? and for their final question, who do you prefer to believe, the APOSTLES or the PREACHERS claims? i need some answers and their bible verse passage, open to all Christian comments....

Matthew 16:15-17 King James Version (KJV) 15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Jesus is the Son of God. Therefore he is a different person than his Father. Being the Son of god, he is a god or god-like but subordinate to his father. Illustration: I am the son of my father but we are not the same person. However, I do come from my father. We are not equal and never will be. We are two different persons with my father being greater than I am. I come from him but he does not come from me. John 14:28 King James Version (KJV) 28Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Here is an interesting verse that I was reading today: 2 Samuel 7:22 American Standard Version (ASV) 22 Wherefore thou art great, O Jehovah God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. Jesus is Jehovah's son and can never be equal to his Father.

2 Samuel 22:32 American Standard Version (ASV) 32 For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God? 2 Samuel 22:32 King James Version (KJV) 32For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? By taking out God's name YHWH (Yahweh, Jehovah) and replacing it with LORD, it starts to confuse things.

Mantis36 , My user name is serious , I am new to this forum . However , I am going to provide an answer to your question . If you find it satisfactory , e-mail privately through this website . If not , please tell me through the same way. If you look in the old King James bibles dated back to the 1930's you will find God's name in there . In the revised versions of today the name will not be in there the passage is ( Psa 83: 18) .No Jesus, is not God . He was sent as ransom to pay for our many sins as you already know. It had to take an equal perfect man to pay for what Adam who has sinned to make atonement for what Adam has done .The scriptural reference to this Matt 1:21 also gives credence for why Jesus came . IT would also pose a question why would Jesus send himself down if he was God ? Also , ask yourself why would he hear God's voice if he was here on earth during that time when he was in the temple preaching ?

1. Jesus professes his own divinity 2. Therefore Jesus is divine or deluded or a deceiver 3. For Jesus to be deluded or a deceiver are not believable 4. Therefore Jesus is divine all the best urban

No, I mean that Jesus professes his own divinity so, Either he is divine or not 1. if he is not divine then either 2. he believes he is divine but is not in which case he is deluded (Mad) or 3. he knows he is not divine and is deceiving when he professes his divinity (Bad) or 4. he really is divine 5. it is unbelievable that Jesus is deluded or deceiving people therefore he is divine This is Lewis' tricotomy or the mad, bad or God hypothesis as it is sometimes known all the best urban

I think i got a clue, for the Son of God chooses to be born on this world (earth) to save our sins, choose to be a local person, and a human being is capable of good and bad, is that what you mean about divine(good) a deluded(bad) and a deceiver(bad)??? is this what you mean?

According to bible, John 17:3, Jesus is not God, but just someone SENT by The True God... So unless the bible is wrong, Jesus is not God at all, but sort of like messenger or something...
