    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Yes, it is a Mesianic Psalm, like Psal. 89. But it's not talking about GOD: Psal. 45:1 My heart is stirred by something good. I say: “My song is about a king.” May my tongue be the stylus of a skilled copyist. 2 You are the most handsome of the sons of men. Gracious speech flows from your lips...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Heb. 1:8 refers to Ps. 45:6,7, an ode to a human king. It is impossible for that psalm to call a human king "God," so it is evident that the translation of Heb. 1:8 which suggests that idea is an incorrect translation... you would have to translate the same thing in the Psalm where the reference...

    What is unbelievable about the Bible

    There's not any mistery on Jesus eating and drinking in a material/physical body when he was already a spirit. Angels did the same in ancient times, like the ones who came to see Abraham (Gen. 18). This is an interesting example: Judg. 6:11 Later Jehovah’s angel came and sat under the big tree...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    In the entire Bible I don't see any binitarian Jews. Paul, who was an educated Pharisee and later became a Christian, never stopped worshiping Jehovah. Rom. 1:9 For God, to whom I render sacred service with my spirit in connection with the good news about his Son, is my witness of how without...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    2 Thess. 2:9-12 says there is LIE and TRUTH. Lies, like ignorance, provide comfort and even pleasure. The truth requires effort and honesty. I don´t have any opinion ... it is what it is, as written.

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Everyone reads the same (more or less) ... some people won't get it because of their attitude. PERIOD. 2 Thess. 2:9 But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders 10 and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as...

    Commanded to love God more than we love ourselves?

    I think that is poorly stated. The Septuagint was formed entirely by a specific group of translators who completed their work in a relatively long time. The different Greek translations that existed contemporaneously with that Jewish translation are not considered Septuagint just because they...

    Theistic Agnosticism - The honesty to admit we don't know everything

    We don't need to know everything to be happy while we worship our Creator. Look at it like this: If we knew everything we would be just like God. It seems like a totally ridiculous idea to me. IMHO for a previously unknown truth to become part of our knowledge, the ideal conditions have to be in...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Again, I understand your opinion, but your opinion won't save anyone. That is why I study the Scriptures to know what I need to do: Acts 15:19 Therefore, my decision is not to trouble those from the nations who are turning to God, 20 but to write them to abstain from things polluted by idols...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    I hear you... but I am more interested on what Jesus taught, like this: John 4:23 Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    I study what Jesus taught, so I don't need to be confused about what he clearly showed us. If John 17:3 says we need to know God and the one He sent, that I need to do. I can achieve this if I carefully study the things that Jesus said. For example: Rev. 3:12 “‘The one who conquers—I will make...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    This is the context of that miracle: John 5:19 Therefore, in response Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, the Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things that One does, these things the Son does also in like manner...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Healing was done in the name of Jesus (to forgive sins) with the power of the spirit of his Father ... so men glorify God, the Father. Acts 3:6 However, Peter said: “Silver and gold I do not possess, but what I do have is what I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazareneʹ, walk!” 7 With...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    John 17:3 talks about knowing God and the one He sent...two different persons. If someone is confusing God with the one He sent, that person doesn't know any of them.

    What is unbelievable about the Bible

    The simple fact that Jesus was invisible most of the time after being resurrected shows that his new body was spirit, not flesh. 1 Tim. 3:16 Indeed, the sacred secret of this godly devotion is admittedly great: ‘He was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, appeared to...

    There is no spiritual gift called "the gift of tongues".

    Evidently the prophecy in Joel 2:28-30 was fulfilled in "the last days" of the Jewish religious system, with its temple in Jerusalem and the Aaronic priesthood. That is what Peter said in Acts 2:17-21, and you can't realize it :rolleyes:. Acts 2:16 On the contrary, this is what was said through...

    Jesus is Jehovah the YHWH of the Old Testament

    It seems evident that you have never studied the relationship between Jehovah and Jesus. 1) Jesus was anointed by Jehovah (Psal. 2:1,2; Acts 4:26,27) 2) Jesus was the prophet "Moses-like" that Jehovah had promised (Dt. 18:15-18; Acts 3:18-22) 3) Jehovah sat Jesus Christ at His right hand when...

    Jesus is Jehovah the YHWH of the Old Testament

    You need some reading comprehension: Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his Servant, Jesus, whom you handed over and disowned before Pilate, even though he had decided to release him. ... 5:30 The God of our forefathers raised up...

    Jesus is Jehovah the YHWH of the Old Testament

    Again: What part of this is not clear enough to you? John 8:54 Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, the one who you say is your God. 55 Yet you have not known him, but I know him. And if I said I do not know him, I would be like you, a...

    There is no spiritual gift called "the gift of tongues".

    Second-century Christians spoke of the gifts of the spirit as something of the past, which had only occurred during the apostolic era, when the apostles or some of those who they laid hands on directly were still alive.
