"Please post the verse where Jesus claimed to be the One True God?_________"
Jesus is part of the Godhead. making up(person of) the one true God.
If Jesus claimed to be the one true God alone, and by himself, it would not be true.
He is the son of God according to the flesh. he makes the claim of the one true God after he is rid of the flesh, while in the spirit in the book of revelation
God:
Isa 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Jesus:
Rev 22:13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
God:
Jer 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Jesus:
Rev 2:23 and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
"How can we see God when 1st John 4v12 says: No man has seen God at any time? Men have seen Jesus and lived. What does Exodus 33v20 say?______"
Exo 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
was jesus a spirit or in the form of a man? god is a spirit. was(jesus) he glorified with the glory he had with father before the world was? did they who saw jesus also see with him the father and the holy spirit? that would be God. then they could not live.
"When you are 'with' someone else are you with yourself?
So being 'with' another does not mean being the same person."
why do you think God is one person?
God= divine almighty strength.
man= 1 person.
where does God say he exists in one person? I know he speaks as one, acts as one, and that there is one. but what makes up the Godhead? single person? where does it say this?
due 6:4 says Jehovah our eloh"IM" is one Jehovah
"Im" is like the "s" in english making thingS plural. due 6:4 is a plural unity.
jesus is with the father because he is not the father. if he were to say he is the father that would be wrong.
"John 14v28 B Jesus teaches his Father is greater then I [Jesus].
John 10v29 Jesus teaches his Father is greater than all.
So how can both Jesus and his Father be 'one'?"
Jesus said these claims in the form of a man, under the Law
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Php 2:6 Who,being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
He was humble- depressed, brought low, humiliated in the form of a man.
Christ being equal with God as he was made like a man he made himself of no reputation, and humbled himself.
"Jesus came to do not his own will, but the will of his Father.
Matthew 26v39; Luke 22v42; John 4v34; 5v30; 6v38"
If he were after his own will, he would not be submissive to God's will. but luckily his will lined up with God's will in submission and obedience
Luk 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
John calls Jesus in revelation 1:8 the
pantokratōr- the all ruling, that is, God (as absolute and universal sovereign): - Almighty
wich is the same word "Almighty" in revelation 4:8
Rev 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
Jesus is reffered to in revelation 1:8 as the phrase "ho ōn ho ēn ho erchomenos" wich means wich was, is, and is to come.
the same words are used in revelation 1:8, 4:8, 11:17.
"there is none good but God"
was Jesus bad? was he not sinless?
