A) TO THE VERSES.

 

 

Isaiah 43:11 & 14:  “[11] I, even I, Am the LORD; and beside Me there is no saviour. [14] Yea, before the day was I AmHe.”

 

Isaiah 44:6:  “Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel [THIS IS GOD THE FATHER; VERIFIED BY THE NEXT STATEMENT], and His Redeemer [JESUS THE CHRIST] the LORD of hosts; I Am the first, and I Am the last; and beside Me there is no God.”  Notice that both Deities make this statement (How Two Make One Is The Human Dilemma, Not God’s).  The Bible states this over and over again (27 times:  Deuteronomy 4:35 & 39; 6:4; 32:39; First Samuel 2:2; First Kings 8:60; Second Kings 19:19; Nehemiah 9:6; Psalm 86:10; Isaiah 37:16 & 20; 43:10; 44:6 & 8 & 24; 45:5 & 6 & 14 & 18 & 21 & 22; 46:9; Malachi 2:10; Mark 12:29; Ephesians 4:5; First Corinthians 8:4; First Timothy 2:5) that there is only “ONE GOD.”  Therefore, Jesus is God.

 

In Matthew 26:63-64 & Mark 14:60-61 & Luke 22:67-70:  “the high priest asked Him” directly whether or not He was “the Christ,” and Jesus states the Jewish unspeakable Name of God (in Mark & Luke’s accounts), “I Am.”

 

Matthew 4:23:  “Jesus went about. . . preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom.”  Meaning, that Messiah had Come and He is the Messiah.

 

Mark 2:10:  “But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy),”

 

Mark 2:27-28:  “[27] The Sabbath was made for man[kind], and not man[kind] for the Sabbath: [28] Therefore the Son of Man [Jesus] is LORD also of the Sabbath.”

 

Mark 11:3:  “And if  any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord [WHO?] hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.”

 

Mark 12:35-37 is clear enough for me:  “[35] And Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the Temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? [36] For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand, till I make Thine enemies Thy footstool. [37] David therefore himself calleth Him Lord; and whence is He then His Son?  And the common people heard Him gladly.”

 

Mark 14:61b-62a:  “[61b] Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? [62a] And Jesus said, I Am.”

 

Luke 24:26-27:  “[26] Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory? [27] And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.”

Note:  “He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things” that proved He is God in the flesh and will be entering “into His glory.”

 

Luke 24:46-47:  “[46] And {Jesus} said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: [47] And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”  

Note:  Only GOD can forgive the “remission of sins.”

 

John 4:26:  “Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee Am He.”

 

In John 5:17-18:  “[17] But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. [18] Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He. . . [was] making Himself equal with God.”

Note:  By calling God “My Father” instead of “Our Father,” the Jews recognized this claim.

 

John 5:19-23:  “[19] Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do:  for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. [20] For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all things that Himself doeth:  and He will shew Him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. [21] For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom He will. [22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: [23] That all menshould honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.  He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent Him.”

 

John 8:19:  “Then said they unto Him, Where is Thy Father?  Jesus answered, Ye neither know Me, nor My Father: if ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also.”

 

John 8:24:  “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins:  for if ye believe not that I Am He, ye shall die in your sins.”

 

In John 8:28:  “Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of Man, then shall ye know that I Am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things.”

Note:  By calling God “My Father” instead of “Our Father,” the Jews recognized this claim, for in verse 30 we have this conformation, “many believed on Him.”

 

John 8:58:  “Jesus said unto them Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was I AM.”

 

John 10:30:  “I and My Father are One.”

Note:  The Jews confirm this in verse 33, when they state, “For a good work we stone Thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that Thou, being a man, makest Thyself God.”

 

John 13:13:  “Ye call Me Master and Lord:  and ye say well; for so I Am.”

 

In John 13:19:  “Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I Am He.

 

John 14:7:  “If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.”

 

John 14:9:  “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?”

 

John 14:23:  “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My Words:  and My Father will love him, and WE will come unto him, and make OUR abode with him.”

 

John 16:28-30:  “[28] I came forth from the Father, and Am Come into the world:  again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. [29] His disciples said unto Him, Lo, now speakest Thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. [30] Now are we sure that Thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask Thee:  by this we believe that Thou Camest forth from God.”

 

John 17:5:  “And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine Own Self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was.”

 

John 17:21:  “ That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us:  that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me.”

 

John 19:7:  “The Jews answered him, We have a Law, and by our Law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”

 

John 20:27:  “Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold My hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into My side:  and be not faithless, but believing.”

 

John 20:28:  “And Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and my God.”

Note:  To accept worship and not rebuke one for doing so means Jesus is claiming to be God.

 

 

B) CONCLUSION

 

 

If we were to go through all of the Commands given by Christ, then we have NO PROBLEM believing that Jesus was claiming to be God Almighty.  Such as John 15:17:  “These things I Command you, that ye love one another.”  Matthew 19:17 comes close.  See also Matthew 21:6; 28:20; Mark 11:6; Luke 8:29; John 14:15 & 21; 15:10 & 14; Acts 1:4.
