He says that Christ is God by saying he has all the authority that God has. The title son of God is not ment to be an inferior/superior title. See Pslams 2 and jewish first born practices.
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (Ps 2:7)
Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (John 6:68-69)

"Booth, Amazing what you can learn when the scripture interprets scripture...... "
Yup, I agree. Here it shows us that the title is of authority. It was ment to show that Christ had all the authority of God and thus the power of God. This is why he was about to be stoned when he claimed it. It is a title of jewish rights of first born, not a biologial or inferior/superior relationship. Would you like me to explain further?

Booth, In John 10:34-38 Jesus is referring to Ps 82:6 and applies these words to the "Jews" (Pharisees) who were trying to "stone" him for supposedly making a claim to "deity" or equality with God. Jesus was using these words to show the Pharisee's that using the word "God" to describe himself (as "Son of God") is no more a claim to "equality" with God than when the Psalmist uses "Gods" to identify these "leaders of Israel" in the Old Testament. In other words it was the Pharisee's who were falsely accusing Jesus of making the claim of calling Himself God! Jesus was saying "how can you stone me for calling myself the 'Son of God' when the Old Testament uses the term "God" to describe other "men" who are sent by the Father, just like me and you." You see Booth, OT judges were also called gods (Psalm 82:6, John 10:34-36) because they were appointed and commissioned to act as God's agents in ruling and administering justice in his stead among men. Yes Jesus had all the authority of God and received power from God but He never made Himself equal with God nor did He ever refer to Himself as God.

"Jesus was using these words to show the Pharisee's that using the word "God" to describe himself (as "Son of God") is no more a claim to "equality" Did you even read Pslams 82?
He is showing them how he backs up his claim, unlike the people in the Pslam. They "walk in darkness" but Christ does mirciious acts and raises people from death. this is also his explaination in verses 37 and 38. He is saying, unlike those people, I prove that I am right. Make sure you read the entire passage next time frank. This passage, yet again, proves Christ was saying he was God.

Lets put this statement in its "original" form and see if it sounds as "sensible" to anyone:
Can anyone deny "Jesus" being "God" and still be saved?
Now before the transliterators got a hold of it:
Can anyone deny "Iesous" being "Gad" and still be saved?
Now with "Jesus" and "God" in its original form, can you explain this Louis?,

Yes booth, I read the entire passage and it doesnt say anything about Jesus being equal with God! As usual, you are using mans interpretations and speculations to interpret scripture! The trinity is not scriptural, it never has been and it never will be as long as God's word is with us! Not even Jesus or the inspired writers ever taught it! You need to get back to the basics booth and start comparing scripture with scripture and when the day comes that you finally admit that this doctrine like all other man made doctrines are unscriptural and false, you will humble yourself before God and change your beliefs so your mind and your beliefs with line up with God's inspired word and not mans words! You can take that to the bank, God's bank and get a fantastic return! The bank of scriptural truth, believe it or not, it will set you free and you will be free indeed!

6. Does the Bible use the word one in reference to God? Yes, many times. For example, see Zechariah 14:9; Malachi 2:10; Matthew 23:9; Mark 12:29, 32; John 8:41; 10:30; Romans 3:30; I Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; I Timothy 2:5; James 2:19.

Matthew 1:20 says that the Holy Ghost was the Father, while Romans 15:6, II Corinthians 11:31, and Ephesians 1:3 say that God was the Father. There is no contradiction when we realize that God the Father and the Holy Ghost are one and the same Spirit. Matthew 10:20; Ephesians 4:4; I Corinthians 3:16.
47. When Paul asked the Lord who He was, what was the answer? "I am Jesus." Acts 9:5.
48. When Stephen was dying, did he call God Jesus? Yes. Acts 7:59.
49. Did Thomas ever call Jesus God? Yes. John 20:28.

51. Does the Bible say that Jesus was God with us? Yes. Matthew 1:23.
52. Did Jesus ever say, "I and my Father are one?" Yes. John 10:30.
53. Can it be proved scripturally that Jesus and the Father are one in the same sense that husband and wife are one? No. The Godhead was never compared to the relationship of a husband and wife.

54. Does the Bible say that there is only one wise God? Yes. Jude 25.

56. Can Trinitarians show that three divine persons were present when Jesus was baptized by John? Absolutely not. The one, omnipresent God used three simultaneous manifestations. Only one divine person was present--Jesus Christ the Lord.
57. Then what were the other two of whom Trinitarians speak? One was a voice from heaven; the other was the Spirit of God in the form of a dove. Matthew 3:16-17.
58. What did the voice say at Jesus' baptism? "Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Mark 1:11. As the Son of God, Jesus was the one God incarnate.
59. Does the Bible say that God shed His blood and that God laid down His life for us? Yes. Acts 20:28; I John 3:16. God was able to do this because He had taken upon Himself a human body.
60. The Bible says that God is coming back with all his saints (Zechariah 14:5) and also that Jesus is coming back with all his saints (I Thessalonians 3:13). Are two coming back? No. Only one is coming back--our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Titus 2:13.
2. Does the Bible say that there are three persons in the Godhead? No.
3. Does the Bible speak of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Yes.

YOu didn't read the passage then either that or you didn't understand what Christ was saying and the comparison he was making between himself and the people that walk in darkness.
trinity is scriptural. Always was and always will be

No booth, it's you that is not reading the scriptures and like I said the trinity is not scriptural! So far in all these discussions you have not been able to prove it with any scripture! I challenge you to proove it but be warned it'll just backfire on you and disprove it! (smiley face)

*sigh* frank, you didn't read the passage at all did you?
Let me break it down for you.
Pslams 82:5 They know nothing, they understand nothing, they walk about in darkness' all the foundations of the earth are shaken. I said, You are gods'you are all sons of the Most high but you will die like mere men' you will fail like every other ruler."
Here he is saying that the people he calls "gods' are mere men that walk in darkness and don't understand anything, thus he is being sarcastic and asking a question, "I call you gods" and answering himself..you'll die like mere men..thus saying he doesn't believe they are gods.
In John 10:34 Christ is saying I'm not like these men. they claim to be gods but their deeds do not show it, for they know nothing. Christ is also saying, but my deeds show that I'm telling the truth. This is the meaning behind verse 37 and 38. Thus Christ IS saying he is God in this passage.
Frank, I think either you didn't read closely enough, or just didn't understand the wording. I hope this helped.

Wow with all the posts on this thread I don't see how anyone could claim the Bible doesn't show us the Trinity! I don't think I have anymore that I can think of that haven't already been mentioned by someone in the 172 posts!

"in the form of god" still creates a problem. It is anthropomorphism, plain and simple.

Very true, but you are missing the fact that the disagreement with the Pharisees is an interpolation in the bible. No such disputes existed. Yeshua(AS) had problems with the Sadducees. It is impossible to see how keepers of the law(pharisees) would not have understood what Yeshua(AS) meant by "son of G-d) since they had the Law with them.

Patmosman,
"If Jesus is not both fully God and fully man, he cannot be the Savior who reconciles man with God."
This is the dilema of the NT writers who had the Law, and HAD to fabricate things to make Yeshua(AS) into a deity!
