1 Timothy 3:16 Says, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the nations, believed on in the world, recieved up into glory."
Titus 2:13 "Looking fro that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ."
So much for the theory that Christ was made God in the 4rth century at Nicea. OK, OK so you don't like Paul and who can blame you if you don't agree that Christ is God. Moving onward....
John 10:30 "jesus said he was part of God. He said "I and my Father are one"
OK, OK so you think mortal man can be one with God. Moving on...
John 8:58 "Jesus said unto them, "Verily, Verily, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am." Then they took up stones to cast at him..."
OK, OK, so a mortal man could have predated Abraham. Moving on...
John 5:18 "Therefore the Jews sought to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God."
OK, OK so the Jewish religious leaders who were experts in the Torah did not understand that Christ was not making himself God. Nor did Christ correct them from this asumption. Moving on...
The author of john explains the trinity in this way. John 1:1 "In the begininning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word WAS God. John 1:14 then says "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the ONLY begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth."
OK, OK so you don't like the book of John now and who can blame you? It must have been corrupted in some way. MOving on...
Matthew 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which, being interpreted, is God with us."
Ok, Ok, so we can safely throw out the entire New Testament because it makes these assumptions. Moving on...
Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulders, and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, the Everlasing Father, the Prince of Peace."
OK, OK, so we can safely throw out the entire Bible as being corrupted. I guess it only leaves the Quran for us to read then, no? You know it is odd to me that another religion attaches itself to another religions holy book. Judism and Christianity predate Islam by leaps and bounds but somehow Islam are the experts in regards to the origins of the other two religions. You may say that Chrisianity has done the same with Judism but I would argue that we accept in full the Old Testament and there are many prophesies in the Old Testament that point to Christ's coming. Where are the prophesies for the coming of Mohammad I wonder? We do not simply pick and choose from the Torah what is palatible to us.
You are right in that Christ did not go around beating people over the head by revealing who he was. I think Mark 8:27 best sums it up.
And Jesus said, "Whom do you say that I am?" And the answered, John the Baptist; but some say Elias; and others, One of the prophets. And he said to them, "But whom say you that I am?" And Peter answered and said to him, Thou art the Christ. And he charged them that they should tell no man of him."
So to sum up, whom do you say that he is?
