You can't argue with scripture.
Where is it said "Jesus is God?"
I gave you the scripture twice.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God John 1:1
...the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us...John 1:14
John 20:28
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
I went back over what I wrote, and what I meant to write is Jesus is not in the image of man. It would not make sense for me to write Jesus is not in the image of God, and then argue that He is God. That is a typo on my part. When you constantly write image of God that is what you naturally write, over image of man, which is obviously wrong, to make a point.
Quote:
No, you are wrong, they were made in the image, they are not the image. The bible does not say that Jesus was made in the image of God, it says that He is God.
They were made in the image, they are not the image. The bible does not say that Jesus was made in the image of man, it says that He is God. This is what I meant to say. I don't need to lie about something that I believe. I didn't even see the post due every post that you write being a mile long.

This sort of "neener, neener, neener" . . . "I'm not listening. I can't hear you!" . . . in your face childish posting supposedly in defense of your God and your interpretation of Him is just plain annoying. Engage in intelligent discussion and critique or admit you are too immature to do so.

If it is annoying then leave. There is nothing intelligent about listening about your interpretation of God which you have made up along the way.
You demanded that I find a verse that stated that God could not be man rather than God IS not man... Now you give the verse that says the word was God and another with the word being flesh? I don't dispute those things... I asked where is the verse (notice the quotation marks) that says "Jesus is God."
This doesn't exist which is why you can't find it.

Again.. these verses don't say that Jesus is God. Jesus himself claims to be the Son of God, not God..
Obviously we are back to square one. I had this same conversation with these same verses earlier with you, and also in another thread with another poster. The same thing always happens. Personal attacks and the repetition of verses that don't say Jesus is God.
You stated that the bible says Jesus is God... where does it say those exact words?

Again a squabble over simple words. You said an untruth about what you wrote and here you are trying to justify it. It is sad because it just shows that you are comfortable with stretching the truth.

The underlined portion where you change the word God to man makes no sense in the argument you presented..
But...I showed you several verses that pertain to Jesus being a man. Here are several more reasons why I believe Jesus is not God and is a man:
First he calls himself son of man.. that indicates he is a man.
Second..
2 John 1:7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
Hebrews 2:14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
Jesus was flesh and was the image of man's sinful nature.. we all know this. The part that bothers me is that you have said more than once, THE BIBLE SAYS HE IS GOD.. when it clearly does not. You interpret it that way but it doesn't say that.
So not only have you insulted my intelligence, but you have lied then tried to say you didn't lie.. Again.. integrity and credibility have been compromised. Mystic has it right.. anyone can see, even though they may not agree with my stance on Jesus as God in the flesh, your discussion/argument here is without credibility and you have shown very little integrity.
I hope you read through the entire thread again to see that 3 of your posts have been extremely long and yet you will not answer to the simplest of things...
I however have answered most if not all of your concerns and you choose to ignore them. I am sorry it turned out this way.. but if you look at the posts you will see that you did not sufficiently back up your argument that Jesus is God or even that Jesus or any of the OT/NT writers thought there was a trinity. You went as far as to quote a verse that is agreed upon as an interpolation. Knowing your background in scripture and that you KNOW it is an interpolation and not found in the greek texts.. you deliberately tried to deceive..

I did answer you question you desperately just don't want to see it.
Jesus is called the Word and The Word is called God. If you can't understand that, you just want understand. You are the one back to square one, I am right where I need to be, understanding and seeing scripture for what it says.
Hebrew 1:8
8But about the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
I am sure you will still fight against the truth, The Son is called God.
You can disagree with me, but you are disagreeing with scripture.

Dear Miss Shawn,
What do you think about Jesus ascending to His God and their [the disciple's] God in John 20:17?
If He ascended to THEIR God what does that tell you?
blessings,
Eusebius
Jesus was speaking from the standpoint of His humanity. As the God-Man, there were times when He spoke from the standpoint of His deity, there were times when He spoke from the standpoint of His humanity, and there were times when He spoke from the standpoint of His hypostatic union.
From Deity: (John 8:58) ''Before Abraham was, I Am.'' His humanity did not exist eternally; His deity did.
From humanity: (John 19:28) ''...I thirst.'' Deity cannot thirst.
From hypostatic union: (Matthew 11:28) ''Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
And John 14:6 ''Jesus said to him, ''I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.''
From the standpoint of His humanity, Jesus referred to the Father as 'My God.' As for 'their God', He was from the standpoint of his humanity, referring to the Father as His God and their God.
As deity, Jesus Christ is co-equal and co-eternal with both God the Father and with God the Holy Spirit.
I did answer you question you desperately just don't want to see it.
Jesus is called the Word and The Word is called God. If you can't understand that, you just want understand. You are the one back to square one, I am right where I need to be, understanding and seeing scripture for what it says.
Hebrew 1:8
8But about the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
I am sure you will still fight against the truth, The Son is called God.
You can disagree with me, but you are disagreeing with scripture.
See here again you don't address any of my concerns...
I asked you to prove that Jesus is God... You have proven that by reading this verse here and others but ignoring some you can come up with the possibility that Jesus may have been thought of as God... but you have not proven that he is God..
If this is such and important principal in Christianity shouldn't we study to show ourselves approved and be able to relay that to others?
Again from a non-christian perspective, you have not proven what you believe to be essential information for salvation.
But I understand that you can only draw from what knowledge you have...
Now to address the verse you posted:
Quote:
Hebrew 1:8
8But about the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
All these quote other passages from the OT..
This is a quote of:
Psalm 45:6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
So obviously the "he says" in the first part of the verse is better translated as "it is said" because we know that God did not say these words but David (most likely) did.
Why would God say "O God?"
In context, David is not even talking for God, he is talking about God's throne. So it we know that Jesus is the scepter of uprightness and that God's throne lasts forever and ever. But you are saying that Jesus is God because the statement is directed to Jesus but it clearly isn't. The point is that Jesus is the scepter or rod which is also how Revelation describes him.
This doesn't address whether Jesus is God or not.
