Did Jesus believe he was Almighty God?
Many people believe that he was and teach it in their religion.
But does the Bible confirm this?
It is true that there appears to be some Bible verses that show
that.(for example John 10:30 and 1 John 5:7)
The Bible claims it is inspired if God (2 Ti 3:16) therefore the above
scriptures should not contradict other scriptures of the Bible.
So let's see what Jesus said on this subject. (keep in mind to read
before and after the quoted scripture to make sure that the idea is
not taken out of context and can stand on its own)
John 14:28 "...because the Father is greater than I am." [two
seperate persons]
Mark 13:32 " "Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither
the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father."" [two seperate
minds]
John 8:17,18 " Also, in YOUR own Law it is written, 'The witness of
two men is true.' 18 I am one that bears witness about myself, and the
Father who sent me bears witness about me" [two seperate persons]
Matthew 3:17 " Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that
said: "This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved."" [Almighty
God never calls Jesus his Father or his God]
Matthew 26:39 "... Yet, not as I will, but as you will."" [ two
seperate minds]
John 17:3 "...you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent
forth, Jesus Christ. " [two seperate persons]
John 20:17 ""... 'I am ascending to my Father and YOUR Father and to
my God and YOUR God.'"" [Jesus has a God]
John 10:36 ""...,' because I said, I am God's Son?'"" [Jesus calls
himself the Son of God, not God.or God the Son]
John 5:19 ""Most truly I say to YOU, The Son cannot do a single thing
of his own initiative, but only what he beholds the Father doing""
[two seperate persons]
John 6:38 "because I have come down from heaven to do, not my will,
but the will of him that sent me. " [two seperate minds]
John 7:16 " Jesus, in turn, answered them and said: "What I teach is
not mine, but belongs to him that sent me. "" [two seperate persons]
John 20:31 "...that YOU may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son
of God,..." [not God or God the Son, but the Son of God]
Luke1:31,32,35 "and, look! you will conceive in your womb and give
birth to a son, and you are to call his name Jesus. 32 This one will
be great and will be called Son of the Most High... For that reason
also what is born will be called holy, God's Son."" [child born not
God but Son of God]
John 17:5 " So now you, Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the
glory that I had alongside you before the world was." [two seperate
people]
John 8:42 "...Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but
that One sent me forth. " [two seperate persons]
Other than the translation error at John1:1, the Bible nowhere says
that Jesus was God Almighty.
