You’ve been given verses.
John 8:58 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
*I am* is the name for God.
No, heretical cults like the Mormons use extra-Biblical writings to justify that blasphemy, not lack of Scriptural evidence.
Some heretical cults take the statement, “Let there be light,” and Christ’s statement, “I am the Light of the world,” to mean that God created Christ.
I am not disagreeing with ANY of the verses that you or others have posted. I fully agree that He said very clearly that He is God.
My point, which nobody seems to want to address is that the lack of the simple statement, “I am God,” has caused heretics to state that He is only the Son of God. I think that we can all agree that this has happened and that we disagree with it. WHEN this happens, we REJECT the heretic’s interpretation of Scripture BECAUSE it is in conflict with basic Christian dogma.
