I have 7 questions for any christian:
1- Where in the bible did Jesus claim divinity?
2- Where in the bible did Jesus ask to be worshipped?
3- Where did Jesus say I am God Manifested in flesh?
4- Where did Jesus mention the original sin?
5- Where did Jesus say I am the Son of God?
6- Where did Jesus say that I am the Word God?
7- Where did Jesus say I am the Second Icon God?
Please I don't want any conclusions or assumptions....

But that's not how religions often work.
It's not the prophet or mystic or leader who develops the theology of the religion, it's their followers who later on, having thought about it, having experienced life after the leader has gone, interprets what they've been through.
It's this interpretation that Christian theologians have made of Jesus, not Jesus himself.
Of course, given that I'm an atheist, that could all be a bunch of crap too.

Originally posted by amannionWasn't it at Nicea (4th century) where Jesus was proclaimed divine?

Then you're being unreasonable.
GOD said many times in the Old Tastment I'm GOD worship me. So no assumptions is required here. I excpect the same for Juses.
My they are different???

If I say "I am a man" and "All men are mortal" it would be unreasonable for you to say that I never held the position "I am mortal" because it is a 'conclusion' from the things I did say.
Further, if I say "I am a man like any of you" it would be unreasonable for you to say that I never held the position "I am mortal" because it requires an obvious 'assumption'.

JusesOut of curiosity and for further knowledge that I may acquire, why do you continue to spell Jesus in that way (excluding the "correct" spelling in your questions)? Is there some implication of cultural context or church history that allows Jesus to be spelled Juses?

Originally posted by lucifershammerIt would be nice if somebody could answer his questions simply and directly, either with direct quotes or explanations, or just links to explanations, of how those conclusions about Jesus were reached.
He just wants a verse where Jesus says, "I am God".
I would if I could.

It seems that my spelling mistaks and English is more important than the questions themselves.
Any way I explained why I don't want conlusions because GOD declared it several times in the Old tastment.
And I know that Jesus was considered a man for 400 years.
So if he is realy GOD why he didn't say that.
I hope any one answer the questions?
