Did Jesus say he was God???

Not one scripture have I read,
that anyone quoted Him to have said that.
And if he did say that....where was it first written ?
Was Jesus quoting Himself...in the sand ?
How do we know that He really said it.
He wrote not a word...except in the sand.
Maybe He wrote.....I am God...
and the winds of time blow on.

Some have speculated that 'in the sand' [John 8v6] Jesus was writing down some part of the Mosaic law or ten commandments.
So, by saying 'who is without sin' would mean who never broke a commandment ?

And my point still stands. They "derived" the name of their church in accordance to scripture. There's no mention of a "Baptist" church in the scripture yet they exist and derive the name from an action performed in your scripture....the same with "The Church of the Immaculate Conception"...They're not mentioned anywhere in the bible yet they exist. Why are we debating over mere semantics?



Lione D' ea: If I testify (1) verse to read in the Bible, can you stand your final answer?



(end.)

Lione D' ea: Actually brother that verse is not part of the Bible, why....first because Jesus Christ knew that all man commit sin even you are the good man in whole world Ecclesiastes 7:20 Read:

"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not." (King James Version)

"Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins." (English Standard Version)

Lione D' ea:That is the bases of the scripture, Jesus Christ read that scripture...that verse is add, regarding in John 8:6 a woman commit adultery will die without mercy in the law of Moses Hebrew 10:28 Read:

"He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:"

Lione D' ea: That is the Law of Moses for Israel only which is a woman commit adultery will be stoned, John 8:6 is invented

Just for the record, the story of the Adulteress is most likely an interpolation as none of the earliest known manuscripts have it. So it should be a moot point.

Lione D' ea: First the cited is true that He came from in heaven, but the question there is when heaven are not yet created where is he...my answer is when heaven and earth are not yet created He is came from the Father in was,

The biblical Yeshua doesn't given any additional information as to his existence other than he existed before Abraham existed (John 8:58) and that he existed (WITH) his god before the Earth was made.

John 17:5 (Etheridge Pe****ta)
And now glorify thou me, my Father, with thyself, in that glory which I had with thee before the world was.


second you are contrary of what John 6:38 and John 17:3 tells it..because Jesus Christ itself saith that: I descended from heaven not to do mine own will, FOR WHOM ?, but the will of Him( the Father) who sent me meaning not the will of Son but the Father, you can notify the word SENT there, meaning not the will of Christ, there is person who is higher than him, therefore not the will of Son, but the will of the Father, because the Father is greater than all John 10:29 Read:


Without realizing it you're confirming what I've been saying all along but what you're not getting is that Yeshua, whether you call him the son or not, he displays in John 6:38 that he existed in heaven having a separate will before even being sent to Earth by his god. Throughout John the same theme is echoed..(you sent me, you instructed me, you gave me)...so we should not be left with some impression he's "God" because it is contrary to what he taught his followers.


My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; (Adj.)

Yes. Which is to say his god (see. John 20:17) is greater than him and his god (see. Rev. 3:12) is greater than all. The "Father" is exactly what he told the Jews and that the "Father" is god.

John 8:54 (Etheridge Pe****ta)
Jeshu said to them, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifieth me; he, of whom you say that he is your God.


Lione D' ea: Therefore the will of the Father must follow, and I not interpret my own, Bible interpret itself, the Bible answer you question not me...

Actually I answered the question already.


Lione D' ea: There is no doubt the meaning also of young woman is virgin, in Israel a woman is not a virgin they will die in no mercy in the law of Moses...you cannot separate the meaning of young woman in virgin

Yes you can. The only way for you to make such a comment is to be totally oblivious to the text of the OT and many the definitions this word has associated with it. "almah" doesn't simply mean virgin. See the following....

Gen. 24:43 (Genesis - Chapter 24 (Parshah Chayei Sarah) - Tanakh Online - Torah - Bible)
Behold, I am standing by the water fountain. When a maiden comes out to draw [water], I will say to her, 'Please, give me a little water to drink from your pitcher.'

Exodus 2:8 (Exodus - Chapter 2 (Parshah Shemot) - Tanakh Online - Torah - Bible)
Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go!" So the girl went and called the child's mother.

Psalms 68:25 (Tehillim - Chapter 68 - Tanakh Online - Torah - Bible)
Singers went first, minstrels afterwards, in the midst of maidens playing timbrels.

Proverbs 30:19 (Mishlei - Chapter 30 - Tanakh Online - Torah - Bible)
The way of the eagle in the heavens, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship in the heart of the sea, and the way of a man with a young woman.

Songs 1:3 (Shir Hashirim - Chapter 1 - Tanakh Online - Torah - Bible)
Because of the fragrance of your goodly oils, your name is 'oil poured forth.' Therefore, the maidens loved you.

Songs 6:8 (Shir Hashirim - Chapter 6 - Tanakh Online - Torah - Bible)
There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and innumerable maidens.

Isaiah 7:14 (Yeshayahu - Chapter 7 - Tanakh Online - Torah - Bible)
Therefore, the Lord, of His own, shall give you a sign; behold, the young woman is with child, and she shall bear a son, and she shall call his name Immanuel.

It's no surprise that the KJV renders both "alma" and "bethula" both to mean virgin. The KJV is a little more inconsistent with it at times. All Jewish scriptures I've come across render "alma" to not simply mean (virgin) but instead have used the word "bethula". This is why I don't rely solely on the KJV for a translation of your scripture. I go to the people (The Jewish - sources) in an effort to see and understand how they render their scriptures.


can you testify it it is for Ahaz?

Yes but it would take a while to cover.

I have been asked to produce evidence of the divinity of Jesus. This is not just good evidence, it is overwhelming evidence.


Words of Jesus

John 14:9 ... he that hath seen me hath seen the Father
John 14:10 ... the words that I say unto you , I speak not from myself but from the Father abiding in Me doeth His works
John 14:11 ... I am in the Father and the Father in Me
John 10:30 I and My Father are one
John 10:33 ... thou being a man makest Thyself God
John 8:58 Jesus said ... before Abraham was born, Jah (Jah is the short form of Jeshovah)
John 8:59 They took up stones therefore to cast at Him
Mark 2:5 and Jesus seeing their faith saith ... thy sins are forgiven
Mark 2:7 ... who can forgive sins but one, even God
Mark 10:17 ... good teacher Mark 10:18 Why callest Me good? None is good save one, even God John 10:11 I am the good shepherd
Mat. 1:21 ... call his name Jesus; for it is He that shall save his people from their sins
Prophecies of the Messiah Jesus
Isa. 45:21 ... I, Jehovah? and there is no God else besides Me a just God and savior, there is none besides Me
Isa. 7:14 ... a sign: behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel (God with us)
Isa 9:6 a son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called: Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

Attributes of God
Omnipresence
John 1:46 Nathaniel saith unto Him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
John 1:49 Nathaniel answered him, Rabbi thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.
John 1:50 Jesus answered ... thou shalt see greater things than these
Omniscience
Luke 6:8 ...the Pharisees watched Him ... that they might find how to accuse him but He knew their thoughts
John 4:17 ... Thou sayest well, I have no husband
John 4:18 for thou hast had five husbands and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband
Omnipotence
Mark 4:41 ... Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?

(He turned water into wine, multiplied bread, healed the sick and the blind, raised a man who was dead for four days)
Authority
Luke 4:36 ... for with authority and power He commandeth the unclean spirits and they come out
Mat 7:29 for He taught them as one having authority
Mat 28:18 ... Jesus ...spake... saying, all authority hath been given unto Me in heaven and on earth
The "I am" statements of Jesus
John 8:12 ... I am the light of the world
John 14:6 ... I am the way, the truth and the life
John 6:35 ... I am the bread of life
John 10:9 I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved
John 11:25 ... I am the resurrection and the life
John 15:1 I am the true vine (this is a reference to Jesus being the Paraclete)

Do you believe Jesus is your Creator and the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth and everything in it ?

Muffled, the OP of this thread, may believe this but your question has no bearing to the thread topic on a whole.

Sometimes you can answer a question with a question. And the title of the Original Post was : Is Jesus God in the flesh?

So I posed my question (Do you believe Jesus is the Creator ?) to respond to his question.

by subjective understanding?

25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”

John 4:25-26..claim of Messiahship

60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?”

61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”

62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

63 The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”

Mark 14:60-64

7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.” John 19:7

Sanhedrin accuses him of blasphemy punishable by death. Can't execute him, themselves..takes him to Pilate, who crucifies for treason against the state, as King of the Jews.


16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 1
Matthew 15-17, confesses who he is to diciples.

Mark 3:11
Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”
demons confirm who he is the Son of God.

Once again, just because Jesus says "I am" in response to a question doesn't mean he's saying "My name is I am", even though the actual name is "I shall be". Other people say "I am" in similar context of referring to a statement in which they fill a criteria (I.e. I am answering a question: Are you Shermana? Why, yes I am Shermana.) It's truly amazing how Trinitarians are willing to let any time Jesus says "I am" to any question regardless of grammatical context be some kind of indication that he's saying the same thing as Exodus 3:14, which should read as "I shall be" to begin with.

Otherwise, you might as well believe that anyone who ever answers "I am" to any question that they are also declaring to be G-d, right? Why is Jesus's response with the same use of the word so special?

though I think Jesus is NOT amiss of the connection between Moses and the burning Bush and is fully aware that it will enfuriate them even more. In the same way as in Mark...he cries out My God, My God why have you forsaken me...he is fact quoting the opening lines of Psalm 22, another deliberate OT nod.

There is no connection, because "I am" is not even the name given to Moses, though the Sinaiticus and later Septuagints may have changed the translation to suit this, Philo has it translated as "Ho on" or "The one who is".

Why be called a 'son' if he is supposed to be the 'father'?

We all know the relationship of a son to a father...they are not the same person, they are not part of a trinity. The Father creates a son and the son is dependent on the father for life. So its crazy to conclude that being called a 'son' equates to being a 'father'

14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Hebrew:Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh

Exodus 3:14...as part of ancient egyptian ritual if you could say the Gods/Goddesses name you could control them. God doesn't play that....and simply answers...I AM. And yes...Jesus famous 7 I am's give one pause. Finally....John 8:58. Jesus said, “Truly, Truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am”, which means that Jesus existed before His human life on earth.

I and my Father are one - The word translated "one" is not in the masculine, but in the neuter gender. It expresses union. John 10:30 also “He who has seen me has seen the Father..John 14:9.

oh I don't know..going around saying your God in any time or era..no one will listen. But say your the son of man, the Messiah, the Son of God...in that time, and place...and many were waiting on the Messiah....another perfect timing moment by God.
