I am NOT saying that I believe this, I am simply stating the FACT that NOWHERE does Jesus Christ come right out and say the words, “I am God.” Does He allude to this? Certainly. Do His Teachings reveal this? Absolutely. But He never actually said this.
He did say “Before Abraham was, I am” that is pretty clear.
“I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE”, “BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM (EQUALS +JHVH)... keep reading, at least your getting the ‘allusions’ that’s better than many. [:-)
