He Never Did Claim That


 

Certain Bible scholars have resurrected the question again about whether there is any merit in Jesus" claim to be God. The ironic thing here is that after their years of study none of these persons have detected one simple thing in the Gospel and other Bible accounts about Jesus – and that is that he never ever claimed to be God. He said very clearly that his Father was greater than he was. That he came to do the will of his father. This his food was to do the will of his father etc. etc. Not once did he claim to be this same person.

Read the Gospel accounts as well as other parts of the Christian Greek Scriptures or the New Testament with an open mind (no preconceived ideas) and you will see this clearly.

This idea of him and God being the same person was something early apostates, after the death of the Apostles , incorporated into their teachings from the religions of the Middle East and the rest of the world the world in an effort to attract people from other religions to the Christian faith.
