![]() ![]() He gives things that only God can give (John 1:12-13, Rev 2:23). Jehovah is the only true God (undisputed). Nonetheless, there are plenty of scriptures that demonstrate Christ’s Deity including the appellation of the Divine Name unto Himself in John 8:58, for which the jews that heard it attempted to stone Him. Your point about Jesus never explicitly stating “I am God” is irrelevant, as one might as well argue that Jesus was not the Messiah because He never said “I am Christ,” did He? Jesus is not the same person as the Father, and God is more than one person. When we say that Jesus is equal to the Father, we are talking in terms of nature not personhood (otherwise we would be talking about Modalism, not Trinitarianism). ![]() For He “emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.” (Philippians 2:7) ![]() Of course Yeshua stated that the Father was greater than He. We come into this life alone and we will leave alone, it is what we do in between that counts. For that is most likely all that will matter when we are judged in the book of life. These words are not to offend anyone’s religious beliefs because in the end GOD is not Christian, Muslim, Buddhist or any other religion, GOD is only interested in what we are, the essence of our souls. Unless one questions ones faith you have only half believed. So we have approx 2 billion people believing in scriptures that they have not studied, questioned and doubted their own religious scriptures. I have also studied the Koran and anyone who truly reads it will soon come to the realization that the biblical reference errors were intentional as the scribes who wrote much of the Koran were most likely captured Jewish scribes and they purposely mistranslated these biblical reference errors, for what reason I don’t know. Yeshua clearly stated that the Heavenly Father is greater than I. The scriptural references are very specific - at no time did Yeshua state that he was G-d. I am a lay person to bible study, but I did compile my own reference to the trinity belief. How could so many people be wrong about such a concept as the trendy trinity as I like to refer to it. What truly woke me up was the truth about the trinity concept that much of Christianity is built upon. No one has all the answers which they freely admitted. I have done bible study with the JW, These hours of asking hard questions about religious and spiritual matters were always answered in a respectful way. ![]()
