Shalom All,
I am a new here so I will introduce myself briefly and give a quick answer, by no mean exhaustive.
I am a Messianic Jew, for those who do not know what that is, I am a Jewish person who believes that Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus was and is Jewish. He did not come to start a new religion called Christianity He came to fulfill the Jewish religion and bring about all G-ds promises. I believe that the Torah and Tanach(Old Testament) are as authoritative as the Brit Chadashah (New Covenant). I believe that G-d is ONE and He is the only G-d. I believe that Yeshua or Jesus was a manifestation of G-d, which is what I see jbenjesus believing as well. G-d manifested himself in various ways through out the Tanach. He show himself as man to Avraham, Yitzak, and Yacov(Abraham, Issac and Jacob). To Avraham, our father, He was a man traveling through Avrahams land and was on His way to destroy Sodom and Gemorrah. Avraham fed Him and He ate. To Yacov He was a man who wrestled him.
Gen 32:24 And Jacob was left alone. And a Man wrestled there with him until the breaking of the day.
This man was God. For his name was changed to Yisrael, He who wrestles with G-d.
G-d also manifested Himself as a pillar of fire and a cloud. So to say that G-d does not manifest Himself in different ways would be to deny scripture. Which is what I see in the conversation over and over again. Taking one or two verses, with your own interpretation of the verse, to say that other clear verses are wrong. This is called Isoegsis. What we need to do is do Exoegsis. Using the WHOLE Word of G-d and find the answer.
Now to answer the question of Yeshua saying or demonstrating that He is G-d in the flesh I will use this passage:
Joh 8:58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Avraham came into being, I AM!
After Yeshua says this the Jews were going to stone Him, WHY? Because Him being a man is claiming to be G-d. I AM is the personal name G-d gave himself when he revealed Himself to Moshe(Moses). I AM is the Hebrew word YHWH, the ineffable name of G-d. For anyone other then G-d Himself to use this name is blaspheme of the worst kind. So either Yeshua is G-d or He is a blasphemer.
I could give many more proofs from Judaism and the OT. But I cannot at the moment I am very busy and need to get back to what I was doing. I found this by accident.
In Messiah,
Yosi
