Thank you for at least posting what my actual words, yet never in any of those posts do I say that the Bible does not teach that Jesus is God.
The conversation was as to why Scripture calls Mary the mother of Jesus but not the mother of God and I pointed out, quite rightly that Scripture never says, outright, i.e. in plain words JESUS IS GOD!
I quite clearly say that we CAN KNOW from Scripture that JESUS IS GOD, but that those words are not found anywhere in Scripture.
When the pharisees say that Jesus is blaspheming it is because they assumed that Jesus when he said, “before Abraham was, I Am,” was saying that He is the God that they believed in.
We of course, know that that God is God the Father and not God the Son who is Jesus.
In the first post of mine, you omitted what came before. IN the second, also omitted much of the post. And, gee golly whiz, the third says exactly what I said, which does not even begin to suggest that the Bible doesn’t teach that Jesus is God.
Well, do not color me surprised. After all, that’s the same thing you do to Scripture.
Wiggle wiggle...
... I say that the Bible does not SAY that Jesus is God.
You are beginning to look really bad here I’m thinking. Let’s look at this again.
Hebrews 1:8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
That right there my dear is scripture and it is calling Jesus God.
Acts 20:28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.
There again is scripture calling Jesus God since it was only Jesus who “obtained with His own blood”.
That is two instances in scripture that Jesus is called God.
