To: Mark17

Hebrews 1:8 calls Jesus God. In John 8:58, Jesus called himself God, by saying before Abraham was, I AM.


Actually, Hebrews 1:8 calls “the Son” God. While it points to Jesus being God, it does not use the word “Jesus.” Jesus calling Himself “I AM” is the clearest statement that He is God. But He did not literally call Himself “God.”

Let me put it another way. Just as the Holy Spirit does not inspire Scripture to say that “Mary is the mother of God,” neither does the Holy Spirit inspire Scripture to say that “Jesus is God.” But there are many verses in Scripture that clearly support the concept that Jesus is God, and that Mary, as His mother, can rightly be called the mother of God.

Do you agree that the son of Mary is God?

Why do I get this feeling, that you want me to say yes, then you will say, that means she is the mother of God. No, I do not accept that. Look bro, you can believe whatever you like about a host of different issues, but the only issue I care about, is what is the plan of salvation? Beyond that, I don't care too deeply about issues, that are important, but pale in comparison to the plan of salvation. Do you agree that the plan of salvation is infinitely more important than anything else?
