ArchivedIs Jesus God :: TO NEWSEEDTO NEWSEED
Newseed, what is your meaning of 'divine'? Because 'divine' is a 'loaded' word. It can mean either a) from or of GOD e.g. divine word, divine mission, etc or b) it could be used as an equivalent to 'deity' hence ONLY THE ONE GOD is divine. Which is your meaning? In what sense do you mean? I would reword no. 1 as follows ... Since Scripture called human beings "gods" in Psalm 82:6-7, how much more fitting it is it to call the One human being (i.e. the One man) who is uniquely set apart as God's Son. Which IMHO, I believe was the audience's understanding of his statement. Therefore, Psalms 82:6-7 as well as Exo 7:1, 21:6, 22:8-9; let's us know that men (human beings) can be called god/elohim/theos; yet, it does NOT MAKE THEM ALMIGHTY GOD!!!
Amen! Agreed! THE ONE GOD, the Father did the works. The Son did nothing i.e. none of these works of himself [John 5:19,30; 8:28] hence the Son is NOT Almighty GOD! (John 14:10) Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Present your proof from scripture. There is no verse where Jesus claimed to 'be God'. He may have been accused of such a claim; but who are we ought to believe? His false accusers or the true & faithful witness, Jesus?? Jesus, the Master Rabbi, inform us in what sense 'god/elohim/theos' can be used in regards to him. Read again John 10:33-36 and Psalm 82:6.
