Is Jesus God?
During the week, we'll be looking at the suffering and resurrection of Christ for our devotional. If you haven't checked it out today, go there first. Then, come back here and take a look at some questions people ask:Is Jesus God?
Many people want to attack the doctrine that Jesus is part of the trinity. They claim that the Bible doesn't support the concept of Jesus being a member of the Godhead. But here are some points that dispute that issue:
1. The gospel of John says Jesus is God (John 1:1-14).
2. Jesus received worship (one example, Matthew 26:6-13) which would be a violation of the first and second commandments if He is not God.
3. Jesus offered forgiveness (Matthew 9:1-8), something only God could do (that's why the Pharisee accused Him of blasphemy).
4. Jesus declared Himself eternally existant (John 8:38-59). Notice the response of the teachers again.
[UPDATE: Thanks Jones for pointing out what a hosehead I am. The resurrection points to the fact that Christ is God too. duh.
You won't find a verse in the New Testament where Jesus says, "Hey, look at me, I'm God." But you will find throughout Scripture passages that the Bible clearly declares Jesus is divine.

you missed the most important point, in my opinion, that proves Jesus is God, that's the resurrection
