ArchivedJesuss Deity...It's just who Jesus is. He's the example of a perfect human being. If you were to see the Passion and the scene where Christ was being mocked and beaten, it's the human flesh that would say "kill all these people, get revenge Jesus!" But Christ endured. Please do not use sinful human logic and arrogance to comprehend something which is pure and sinless. Christ does not need to say He is God. If someone was to ask Michael Jordon if he is the best basketball player who ever lived, most likely you will get a humbled response like "Well, I think there are many great basketball players" or "Every player has their own style" or "only people can be the judge of those things." It would certainly grieve the spirit if he said, "Ofcourse I am. Barkely, Ewing and all those infidels, they can't touch me." So if sinful man can give humbled responses to their glory, so can sinless Christ. Here is what Christ said>If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. (John 5:31-32). John 8:18>I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Jesus is clearly saying if He is the only one who bears witness to Himself (i.e. say He is God), then who cares. But let us see what the Father said about His Son>But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. [Hebrews 1:8]. Right there we see that the Father calls Christ "God". This is even a greater testimony than if Christ Himself calls Himself God. The Father calls the Son "God" despite the fact in that same chapter, He claims to be the God of the Son. This is the relationship in the Godhead. Also, Phillippians 2:5-8>Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. It's so obvious that Christ is God in the flesh. Matthew 28:18>And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. " Read Daniel 7 and the prophecy about Christ ruling in an everlasting kingdom, and read what happened to Daniel after he recieved these visions. He was confused. You think Daniel completely understood? Despite the fact he did not completely understand, did it mean it was not true? Daniel 7:13-15>I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. |
