Skip, please hear this carefully. Did Jesus Claim to Be God? Some skeptics insist that Jesus never explicitly said the words “I am God.” But simply looking for that exact phrase in Scripture misses the point. In the context of ancient Jewish monotheism, where worship of anyone other than the one true God was strictly forbidden, Jesus’ words and actions speak louder than a single sentence ever could. He consistently does and says what only God can do, accepts worship given to God alone, and uses divine titles and language that His immediate Jewish audience understood as claims to full deity. Jesus Equates Himself with the Eternal God John 8:58: “Before Abraham was born, I am!” By invoking “I am,” Jesus deliberately echoes God’s own self-revelation to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This isn’t a statement of mere antiquity or authority; it’s a claim to the eternal, self-existent nature of God. His listeners grasped this and sought to stone Him for blasphemy. John 10:30-33: “I and the Father are one… the Jews… said, ‘You, a mere man, claim to be God.’” After asserting oneness with the Father, Jesus’ audience again attempts to stone Him, because they knew He was claiming equal status with God, not simply an alliance. Jesus Accepts Worship That Belongs to God Alone The first-century Jewish context is crucial here. God-fearing Jews do not worship angels or prophets; they would have considered that idolatry. Yet Jesus not only allows worship but welcomes it. Matthew 14:33: After Jesus calms the storm, “those in the boat worshiped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’” John 20:28: The disciple Thomas exclaims to the risen Jesus, “My Lord and my God!”-a direct address of deity that Jesus affirms rather than corrects. Angels, when worshiped, immediately correct humans (Revelation 19:10); prophets and apostles refuse such honor (Acts 10:25-26). Only God deserves worship. Jesus’ acceptance of it reinforces His divine identity. Jesus Forgives Sins as Only God Can Mark 2:5-7: Jesus tells a paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” The scribes respond, “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” By forgiving sins-an offense against God Himself-Jesus wields divine authority. He backs up this claim by miraculously healing the man, demonstrating that He has the authority He claims. Jesus Takes on Divine Titles and Roles Daniel 7:13-14 describes a “Son of Man” who is worshiped by all nations and given everlasting dominion. Mark 14:61-62: When asked if He is the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One, Jesus says, “I am… and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” The “Son of Man” in Daniel is a divine figure who receives worship and reigns forever. By applying this prophecy to Himself, Jesus claims more than messiahship-He claims a role of cosmic, divine lordship over all nations. He also calls Himself the “Good Shepherd” (John 10:11), a title that in the Old Testament belongs to God alone (e.g., Psalm 23:1: “The Lord is my shepherd”). By identifying as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep, Jesus places Himself in Yahweh’s position as the ultimate caretaker and guide of His people. Jesus Commands Powers and Prerogatives of God John 5:21-23: “For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it… that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.” God alone gives life. By asserting He can give life and receive the same honor as the Father, Jesus claims divine capacity and reverence. Matthew 28:18: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” All authority-divine authority-belongs to God. Jesus claims it fully, extending beyond any role of a prophet or king. Jesus Shares God’s Eternal Glory John 17:5: “Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.” No human or angel can claim to share God’s eternal glory before creation. Jesus insists that He existed with the Father in divine glory before time began. Early Jewish Believers Worshiped Jesus as God Jesus’ earliest followers were staunchly monotheistic Jews. They would sooner die than worship a false god. Yet they worshiped Jesus, prayed in His name, and attributed to Him the titles and honors of Yahweh. The apostle Paul, a Pharisee who persecuted Christians before his conversion, wrote: Philippians 2:6-11: Though Jesus was “in very nature God,” He humbled Himself and is now exalted so “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” Invoking the language of Isaiah 45:23-where every knee bows to Yahweh-Paul applies it directly to Jesus. This is an astonishing claim for a devout Jew like Paul, and it reflects the conviction of the earliest Christian community that Jesus is truly God. Conclusion The evidence is overwhelming when read in historical and religious context. Jesus speaks as only God can speak, acts as only God can act, and receives worship that only God can receive. His closest disciples, themselves Jewish monotheists, understood His claims, worshiping Him as divine. His opponents understood them as well, accusing Him of blasphemy. Both friend and foe agreed on what Jesus was claiming: He was not merely a great teacher or prophet. He was-and claimed to be-God in the flesh.

Jesus never claimed to be God, never and not even once. The Pagans are giving Jesus a Divine title to mislead people into Hell. Case closed.

He claimed to be God MANY TIMES. You just didn't read His Word! Case Closed.
