Did Jesus claim to be God?

Well considering he said he was and that Isaiah said he was, it’s certainly clear to me. It fine if you disagree.

Jesus said the Father [God] was in Him. He is not actually God.
Isaiah said Jesus will be called different names [by people obviously].
Thomas called Jesus my Lord and God. [clearly fulfilling Isaiah's prophesy.
And there are more passages that can be used to speculate.

But the strongest, clearest statement about who Jesus was came from God Himself, who is the sole authority :

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Matthew 3:16-17 KJV)

God called Jesus His Son

That settles the matter for me.

Yes he did; including “Mighty God”.


And that settles it for me 🙂
