Did Jesus Claim To Be God?
(You can translate the captions into your own language)
A quick video that answers the critics who deny that Jesus is God. The punishment for the sins of the entire world is an eternal and infinite penalty. The Bible says that "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). This penalty is therefore, an infinite price, such a price would require nothing less than the very death of God Himself to pay.
Jesus being God is a crazy idea to some but this is what the Bible clearly teaches. If Jesus was not God then his death would have been in vain, a finite, created being can never pay an infinite price. The resurrection was the sign of the Father's approval that the debt had been paid. Once we believe in Jesus we accept his sacrifice, if we do not then we will have to personally pay the price for our sins, and that will be mean an eternity in Hell with sadly no hope of escape.
The following scriptures are quite clear, Jesus is "The mighty God", He is the "Son of God", the "I am" voice of the Burning Bush and the "Son of Man":
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son (Jesus Christ) is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 8:58
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
In the above Jesus claims that he is outside of time, a trait that only God Almighty has. Also from this statement he is equating himself to God who spoke through the burning bush in Exodus 3:14.
Daniel 7:13
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
1) Only God can forgive sins!
Micah 7:18-19
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retains not his anger for ever, because he delights in mercy.
He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Luke 5:20-21
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
.
2) Only God knows our thoughts!
Psalms 94:11
The LORD knows the thoughts of a man, that they are vanity.
Matthew 9:3-4
And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts.
3) God is Omnipresent!
Psalms 139:7-8
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
John 3:12-13
If I (Jesus) have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
And no man ascended up to heaven, but he (Jesus) that came down from heaven, even the Son of man (Jesus) which is in heaven.
Jesus in the above scripture claimed that He "is" in heaven, even though He was still talking to His disciples on Earth. He had locality (confined to His body) yet somehow had non-locality (omnipresence).
4) God is our Judge!
Isaiah 33:22
For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
Jeremiah 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.
Matthew 16:27
For the Son of man (Jesus) shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
I have a question! If Jesus is just only a man, how can he judge mankind of their works? He must be omnipresent to be able to judge fairly. Therefore Jesus must be God!
5) God is Three Persons in One!
See Psalms 2
1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
