How do you respond to this:
"And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God." (Mark 10:18)
To me, that sounds like self-deprecation. If I had time I would find other passages. Recall that Christ was, above all, meek and humble.
> He did not seek to joke his way into their friendship or avoid offending those that did not agree.

Jesus is God..
He was responding to someone who had called Him a “good man”, a good master” a “good teacher” a good Rabbi”
Jesus never said He was not good, just the human aspects of Him must not be worshipped...
Jesus never put Himself as God down...
He would have been criticizing God the Father if He did so...
and insulting the Holy Spirit...which is not forgiven..
Recall that Christ was, above all, meek and humble.

Except when He was tossing people out of the Temple and whipping them and yelling at them and calling them Whited Sepulcars, etc...
Then he was loud and indignant...
