Great article, useful…many Islam people are arguing on it. Still miracles happen in Jesus’ name, not in any other names.

Hi dear beloved in Jesus Christ. I am writing from Namibia, this is really the message the world need to hear before Jesus returns. The eyes of the world has been blind to see the truth. Jesus said in the book of John 8v24 “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins. The world is perishing because of ignorance. Let us spread this true gospel.
May the good Lord bless you as you are alerting the world

I found your article a bit helpful. The most useful passage was the one in which the Jews wanted to stone Jesus for claiming to be God. What bothers me most about your article is your highly condescending tone, example: “Study the Bible for yourself. Understanding Christianity is not that difficult – and anyone who tells you otherwise is turning the Gospel into something that God never intended.” – presuming that we are capable of fully understanding the will of God.

Likewise, understanding the complexities around the divinity of Jesus isn’t as simple as you make it out to be, so when I see articles like yours, I worry that it isn’t OTHER people who are neglecting to do research, but you.

Finding proof for the divinity of Jesus is not so simple as finding a corroborating verse in the Bible. The Gospel, like it or not, is an anthology of a number of authors perspectives, translated and revised over thousands of years, and the composition was decided by the Romans over the course of several councils (including the Council in Constantinople in 381 in which it was finally agreed that Jesus was both human and God).

Because of this, passages that rely on implication, allusion, or metaphor to reach the conclusion that Jesus is God are not so helpful. Coming back to where I began, passages like the one I mentioned are the most helpful, as they are near-explicit.

My point is, I see too many Christians today that are too eager to try and exert some kind of sense of superiority over others, despite not really knowing enough to fully defend their arguments, when really we should be focusing on Jesus’ message of love. People shouldn’t get into these kinds of debates with such a condescending/presumptuous attitude, since most of the time, we can all benefit from an open mind and even more open hearts.

please share the argument that Jesus is God and Not man for the Muslim…my daughter has since converted to Islam through the help of her Saudi boyfriend. This is her greatest argument: I worship God not man.
Please help me with this.

I’m currently in an argument on youtube with a man who is clailing that Jesus is not God. No matter what I say, this smart butt has an “answer” It’s getting frustrating. I wish some one here would jump in and help me.

I once had to deal with a contrasting belief in the divinity of Jesus. My wife and I had attended a certain church for 4 years and, during an evening bible study there one night, we found out that the elders in this church held that Jesus was not God in the flesh. Red flags flew up everywhere for me. I searched the scriptures and found MANY evidences that he was, in fact, God manifest in the flesh. In addition to the scriptures you have pointed out, I found a few that caused any Bible believer who argued against the deity of Christ to give in as soon as they studied it out at all. Just thought I’d pass them along in case you ever deal with this again…

Zech 12:10:
“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.”

Notice how the prophecy, being delivered from the LORD (Old Testament all-caps=THE LORD GOD) says that they will look upon “Me whom they have pierced.” and then they will mourn for “Him” … As if God is saying here that it will be HIM in the flesh hanging on that cross. Then, in context, reading from Revelation 1:7-8 – “Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. “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.””

Then, the same One Who is speaking in verses 7 and 8 of Rev 1 continues in verses 17 and 18, “And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”

So, in Rev1:8, He refers to Himself as The Almighty….then the same One speaking refers to Himself saying, “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore.” When did God die? In context, it was when He was on the cross.

The fact that Jesus is God in the flesh is an imperative as a Christian. The book of Revelation isn’t meant to be a futuristic weird book of analogy. It is meant to be exactly what it claims to be… The “revelation” of Jesus Christ. It’s a descriptive of Who He really is. When He is Revealed in His true glory in the end, we will all will know that He is Lord, the Great I AM. That’s the only futuristic part of the book of Revelation.
