Scriptures that prove Jesus is God

Neostarwcc · Feb 2, 2019

John 8:58 is a pretty clear statement from Jesus. There's also John 1:1 the book of John does a pretty good job at proving Christ's diety.

""Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of GOD which He purchased with HIS OWN BLOOD." Acts 20:28

Why did they get mad at Him? Because He said He was the son of God? "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God"

I say me and my wife are one.. you understand. Yet when Christ says.. you seen me you seen the Father... The Father and me are one. So.. you see the Father.. you would see the son as well. They really are ONE. Everything that was made was made by Him. Yet.. Son sits at the right hand of the Father.

Did He not also say "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." Not some but ALL!

It seems that religion has gooten in the way of Bible study!
One looks around in these area of this site and they constantly see people proclaiming what Jesus Himself did not proclaim; that He was God.

John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Mat_19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Mark_10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why call you Me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

Luke_18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why call you Me good? None is good, save one, that is, God.

Luke_2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

Luke_2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

Why do so many claim that Jesus is God when He Himself denied that He was?

Why? Because of the lack of prayer when studying the words given to those that have ears to hear and eyes to see; that is, a spiritual mind tuned to the Spirit of God.

Denominational religion has tried to replace spiritual truth!

Andy,

This thread is full of verses where Jesus said that he is God, even I provided proof. The clearest one is the one I gave where Jesus said that he is the Son of God.

A plethora of scriptures in this thread show Jesus is God.

Acts of the Apostles 20:28 , John 8:58 and Exodus 3:14 , John 1:1 , Colossians 2:9 , 1 Timothy 3:16 , John 10:30 and more.

C.S. Lewis once said in his book Mere Christianity,

We don't use the words begetting or begotten much in modern English, but everyone still knows what they mean. To beget is to become the father of: to create is to make. And the difference is this. When you beget, you beget something of the same kind as yourself. A man begets human babies, a beaver begets little beavers and a bird begets eggs which turn into little birds. But when you make, you make something of a different kind from yourself. A bird makes a nest, a beaver builds a dam, a man makes a wireless set – or he may make something more like himself than a wireless set: say, a statue. If he is clever enough carver he may make a statue which is very like man indeed. But, of course, it is not a real man; it only looks like one. It cannot breathe or think. It is not alive.

Now that is the first thing to get clear. What God begets is God; just as what man begets is man. What God creates is not God; just as what man makes is not man. That is why men are not sons of God in the sense that Christ is. They may be like God in certain ways, but they are not things of the same kind. They are more like statues or pictures of God.

In my personal opinion, this is the best definition. This means that if God is eternal and self-existent, infinite in being and perfection, invisible, immortal, immutable, immense, incomprehensible, almighty, absolutely holy, perfectly wise, wholly free, and all-knowing, then the Son of God is essentially the same. Since there is but one God, he must be the same in essence with his Father.

This basic understanding of Son of God fits with Scripture:

Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me. - Isaiah 43:10

When Scripture speaks of Jesus as the Son of God, it is indicating that he is God. When we speak of the incarnation, we are referring that union of his human nature to his divine nature in his one person, as the the Athanasius Creed affirms:

Now this is the true faith: That we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son, is both God and human, equally. He is God from the essence of the Father, begotten before time; and he is human from the essence of his mother, born in time; completely God, completely human, with a rational soul and human flesh; equal to the Father as regards divinity, less than the Father as regards humanity.

Although he is God and human, yet Christ is not two, but one. He is one, however, not by his divinity being turned into flesh, but by God's taking humanity to himself. He is one, certainly not by the blending of his essence, but by the unity of his person. For just as one human is both rational soul and flesh, so too the one Christ is both God and human.

Matthew Poole once said that Jesus is the only person who was begotten, but not made; yet made, and not begotten. In other words, Jesus had a human mother who conceived him, but not a human father to beget him; he had the Father, who was divine, beget him, but not another to conceive him.

The Son was begotten before time, this is a high mystery. When Jesus confessed to be the Son of God, the Jews knew what that meant. He was charged with blasphemy for this reason, even though he spoke the truth.

"Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who foretold the grace to come to you, searched and investigated carefully, trying to determine the time and setting to which the SPIRIT OF CHRIST in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.…" 1 Peter 1:11

I'm not sure on what you base your faith for your salvation - or even if you have faith in the first place.

But - do you not believe that all of the scriptures were proclaimed by the Spirit of Jesus Himself?

John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and “the Word was God.” John 1:14 says that “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us”. This clearly indicates that Jesus is God in the flesh.

If Jesus is God, then why did He say thins??

You tell us.

If Jesus wasn't God, then why did the Spirit of God (AKA - the Spirit of Christ) say that the blood of Jesus was the blood of God?

I don't know who reported my posts but I am sorry I offended you with it..we all have our own opinions though and I was just making me. Do you know what divine means? Is there a divine person on Earth? Show me a divine being on Earth. Jesus was a divine person. Divine means holy ..it pertains to the sacred things of God. Jesus didn't have a natural birth like us. He had an immaculate birth. He was born of God his father, he being born of God makes him fully divine and Godlike. Holiness breathed in and outside of him cause he was born of God himself..he was born of spirit and water..he was not born like us...and since he was born of God and was fully divine ,they are one in the same, yet God is the father and he is the son ..I could be wrong but that's how I see it ..and it's my own opinion...

I think we should also not ignore these following scriptures, else you can be deceived:

This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
John 17:3

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
John 5:30

…the Father is greater than I.
John 14:28

Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
John 14:10

[Jesus]…is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. …
Colossians 1:14

My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
John 7:16

Most assuredly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me."
John 13:20

If you are s disciple of Jesus, be careful that you remain in his words.

Mark51 · Feb 6, 2019

"No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father." John 10:18

I do not understand/agree how this scriptures supports that Jesus is God-one in the same.

He was showing us the path and way to immortality...

Along with this one: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)...

God Bless!

Jesus tells us He has the authority to resurrect.

If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

Paul tells us that God raises Jesus from the dead. Hence Jesus is God.

1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

What are some others? God bless

Hi! I found a post by Dr. Warren Gage that says how Jesus Taught his disciples that he is God. Here is the link if you want to read it. But it overall says that Jesus used the Sea of Galilee to show the disciples of his divinity.

Neogaia777 · Nov 24, 2019

Jesus is God in the flesh, "any flesh", including resurrected bodies in heaven, and all that is physical in the heavenly realm, or IOW's all of everything (God) that we can ever see, smell, taste or touch, feel, hear audibly, etc...

There is no other "manifestation" of God ever besides Him or that is not Him, or is ever not Him, etc...

God the Spirit is said to be like the wind, we can see His/it's "effects" on things or through say, a person, or a physical manifestation, like "Christ", but we can never literally behold Him, ever, not even in heaven, for Christ is the God form of all of that period...

And the "Father", well, that's a whole other/nother story... He is all of everything, yet at the same time none and nothing, yet still exists anyway... His "form" is everything and at the same time nothing, or exists as everything, but at the same time, can still exist without nothing or anything, or as nothing... things get a bit and much more mysterious (and difficult) (and complicated somewhat) when discussing Him or that One...

God Bless!

Yes, God has given authority and God’s name to Jesus. That is not same as Jesus is the God who gave the authority.

All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
Matt. 28:18

…your name which you have given me…
John 17:11

For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."
John 12:49-50

God gave His name to Jesus and Jesus acts and speaks in the name of God. God gave His authority to Jesus and Jesus made the new covenant with people in God’s name. But in the end, all authority is God’s.

For, "He put all things in subjection under his feet." But when he says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him. When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
1 Cor. 15:27-28

Bible tells Jesus is the image of God and acts in God’s name. I think it would be good to remain in what Bible tells and not add own meanings and doctrines to it.

This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
John 17:3

…in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins; who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation...
Colossians 1:14

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
1 Timothy 2:5

Jesus did nothing "of Himself".
He totally trusted in and relied completely and perfectly without doubt
on the Father , as WE are ALSO TO DO, for everything.

Scriptures that prove Jesus is God

We are saved purely by the work and grace of God.
