What I was saying is that in all four gospels Jesus let's people call Him "Lord", a term the Jews used almost exclusively for God, so that in my opinion all four gospels say Jesus is God.

@George Penton It's worth noting that Jesus does not mention or associate the Catholic church in His message of salvation, but moreso, and that the temple(often translated church in English Bibles), is likened to Jesus' body, as-in, the body of Christian fellowship. And in contrast with the Catholic church(as it were), that would be formed several centuries following Jesus' death and resurrection, would not reflect Jesus teachings and commandments.

Muses pbuh was a prophet and as well as Jesus Pbuh too. But animies of humanity changed the words like i am not God, and they removed the word not. And that becomes an other beleif. Jesus said i am not the son of God and enemies of humanity removed the word not. Just a little change made Him God and all the christians till date now have not convinced any single human being that Jesus is God or the son of God because he was not a god or not a son of God. He was a true christ and he had miracles like other prophets. But when human will beleive blindly, than they are worst than animals because God has given the power to understand and in an other verse in the bible it is clearly mention that God is not a man and not the son of a man. In new testament God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill Aramaic Bible in Plain English God is not a man that He would lie, neither a son of man to be advised; He says and he does and his word stands for eternities. Quran Is the last book of God. And everything is clearly mention. And most imoortant thing the true words of God in the Quran according to christian are from devil. Because christains beleive what is written. I never mind we should beleive in the words of God. But the thing is what is being mentioned, it should be proved. Or even could easily convinced to your brain and no christian brother even can convince himself from one verse to an other and result is sheikh Yousuf Estes.

NIV They were 'believing in him..' Not as God, but as the Messiah. As the context clearly shows. I agree he performed great miracles. But miracles were a sign from God that this man had his full support and blessings. In the work he was doing.

It is interesting to hear how how squirrelly Williams is about whether mark is the first gospel..... he agrees that John is later... and most people think it is clear that Matthew and Luke used Mark... there are no instances where mark relies upon Matthew and Luke... which therefor have to be later than mark.

Jesus' death is as important today as it was 2000 years ago, not because its a nice story, but because it is a historical fact that he lived and was crucified and is attested not just by Christian writers at the time and shortly after, but also Jewish and Roman writers who had nothing to gain from this. If you don't want to look into that, ask yourself how the big bang happened, what caused it, where the energy came from; where our moral law comes from if we are just here by chance, oh and how life came to be. I can highly recommend a book "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" if you want to challenge these things.

That is the deeper philosophical discourse in the Bible, and Greek philosophy, but many don’t understand that. Parmenides held that the multiplicity of existing things, their changing forms and motion, are an appearance of a single eternal reality (“Being”), giving rise to the Parmenidean principle that “all is one.” From this concept of Being, he went on to say that all claims of change or of non-Being are illogical. Parmenides was influential of Plato, Heraclitus, and others who directly informed early Christology. I am not saying that Parmenides was the only argument considered in Christianity, but I am saying all the discourse of the nature of Jesus in early Christianity was a question of ontological philosophy which was all over the ancient world. Eventually one spliced together version became orthodoxy. But the problem with modern people, is they tend not to understand what ontological philosophy was and how it was discussed. Nor what „faith“ was. Faith was a conclusion of a particular ontology particular understanding of „being“.

Could the reason be for your conclusion that you're biased? I mean I will admit we all have biases but the question is are they logical or not.... having bias doesn't necessarily mean that your argument is invalid it's just a question are you right or are you wrong... cuz you're either right or wrong... and also argument from Authority is fallacious... gravity doesn't stop working for a person just because they're not a physicist. .. so with that said let's get to it. And if we just take mark, then still.. Jesus clearly did claim to be God, in the things he did.. and not only in what he said.... in the gospel of Mark 6:45 it comes about that Jesus walks on the water and in the Old Testament this is something that only God could do...Job 9 verse 8.... this separates him from other miracle workers in Jewish history, Also we can take the entire chapter of Mark 2... in that chapter we have Jesus forgiving sins and no Messianic claimants (in Judaism one could only claim to be Messiah if you Were a son of David the king).. in Jewish history ever claim to forgive sins... and no one having half a brain and knowing what they're saying would ever dare claim to forgive sins, not even on accident. ... in Mark chapter 2 the very same chapter before Jesus heals the palsy there's a person in the crowd who doubts and Jesus answered him and in answering him he Associated himself with the title "son of man" he does this several times in all of the synoptic Gospels and I think and John as well but the title "son of man" was a Messianic title.. taken from Daniel 7:13.. the context of that verses is 9 through 14... and Daniel 13 says this".. "and Jesus said...I am and you shall see the son of man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the Clouds Of Heaven"... in order to further understand this you need to know that there's precedent for this in the Old Testament so in the Old Testament God rides the clouds Deuteronomy 33 chapter 26, Psalm 68 verse 4, Isaiah 19 verse 1.... and at first if you read these Old Testament passages that I provided then it makes Daniel chapter 7 passage a head-scratcher which leads to the implication of Jesus quoting it while he was in court and explains why the high priest tore his robes and reacted the way he did. Nextpoint the interpretation of the title "son of man" might be taken literally as "just a mortal man" I'm not saying , at first glance, the Temptation is not there to interpret it that way, but if we look at the high priests reaction to Jesus saying what he says in Mark 14:62 ..in the next verse ,then we will clearly see that their interpretation of what the title "Son Of Man" Meant is different from our interpretation which lets us know that we're putting our cultural context on to the text while not realizing that the Bible comes to us from cultures that thought extremely differently from us. Jesus is the only Messianic claimant who fulfilled Isaiah 53... he was also born in Bethlehem of Judea just like the Old Testament scripture said he would be... the verse that I'm referring to is Micah 5 chapter 2... and if you continue to read that verse then you will clearly see further implication there, as in this verse was meant for where the Messiah would be born, and if you continue to read the verse then you will see that only God can fill the role of Messiah. At the end of The Book of Malachi it was said that someone coming in the power of Elijah (another Old Testament prophet) and was going to come before the Messiah did, getting people ready for his coming into the world..... another verse in the Old Testament in Isaiah the verse is 40:3 "the voice of him that crieth in the wilderness prepare ye the way of the Lord make straight in the desert a pathway for our God" The gospel writer of Mark in the very beginning of the Gospel makes mention of this verse of John the Baptist before Jesus ministry starts... by the gospel writers admission John the Baptist was the one who Malachi spoke of.. John the Baptist said of Jesus..in the first chapter "7and preached, saying, there comes one mightier than I after me the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose verse 8 the next verse says indeed I have baptize you with water but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost" ... so then we also have an admonition from John the Baptist that Jesus is God. ... we also have an epistle in the Bible of Jesus brother James... .. God bless you I hope you stay safe out there..

Kile **The issue is; what did the “historical” Jesus say about himself?** I’ve noticed your scripture cut and paste elsewhere but you seem to miss that point. For starters it’s not the “historical” Jesus speaking in the books of Revelation, Romans, Isiah, etc so there’s no need to include those. We should only be focusing on the 4 Gospels as they are supposedly the direct accounts of Jesus. Erhman argues that John was written much later and that it is in that Jesus started claiming he was God. So as a historian, he’s not convinced that the historical Jesus said such things. The other books like Mark were written much earlier and would be closer to time the historical Jesus is said to have lived...thus, they would be much higher probability of an accurate retelling of the account of Jesus. So the intellectually honest scholarship agree that the historical Jesus never claimed to be God and that it were later writers that added that in. That’s why at 10:40 Williams reluctantly agreed that Jesus never claimed to be God in the earlier written books and Aram is right in pointing that out.

So given his academic background, evidence and arguments, I’d take his word about the New Testament over some random bloke on KZread quoting scriptures at me. I use to be a Christian, now an agnostic atheist, until I realized the scriptures have questionable beginnings and are contradictory at best; immoral and presents a god not worthy of worship at worst. Feel free to hold on to your beliefs and scriptures all you want, but it doesn’t hold up to scrutiny and regurgitating them at me means nothing. And also claim that they are “inspired” by a god or gods, but I have no reason to believe there is a god or gods to begin with. And it’s funny that you go right back to John, which was the last gospel to be written with all of its embellishments and 2 Timothy which was NOT written by Paul. Cheers.

In Mark 6:50 it is fairly obvious that the translation of εγω ειμι ιs ‘It’s me!´ Τhere is an implied predicate.

8:39 In the Old Testament, instances of individuals performing miracles or acts of healing are often associated with prophets or figures chosen by God. Here are a few examples: 1. **Elijah Raises the Widow's Son:** - **Reference:** 1 Kings 17:17-24 (NIV) - **Summary:** The prophet Elijah brings a widow's deceased son back to life through prayer and God's intervention. 2. **Elisha and Naaman's Healing:** - **Reference:** 2 Kings 5:1-14 (NIV) - **Summary:** Elisha instructs Naaman, a commander with leprosy, to bathe in the Jordan River seven times, resulting in his healing. 3. **Elisha Raises the Shunammite Woman's Son:** - **Reference:** 2 Kings 4:18-37 (NIV) - **Summary:** Elisha brings the dead son of a Shunammite woman back to life through prayer and God's intervention. 4. **Healing of Hezekiah:** - **Reference:** 2 Kings 20:1-11 (NIV) - **Summary:** The prophet Isaiah informs King Hezekiah that he will die, but Hezekiah prays to God, and his life is extended by 15 years. 5. **Moses and the Bronze Snake:** - **Reference:** Numbers 21:4-9 (NIV) - **Summary:** When the Israelites are bitten by snakes, God instructs Moses to make a bronze snake on a pole, and those who look at it are healed. It's important to note that the concept of faith healers or disciples as seen in the New Testament, particularly in the ministry of Jesus and his followers, is not as prevalent in the Old Testament. Miraculous events are often associated with prophets or individuals directly chosen by God.

You see, Rod, the quote doesn't in fact speak for itself like Shakespeare. It is either the musings of a god-man, or it's complete fiction/myth/nonsense.

And needless to say I would believe that Jesus existed before Abraham, and everything that if Jesus said so - needless to say, I/we are nothing before the glory of Jesus for sure! One thing to think about is that Jesus Christ was charged for claiming to be Messiah(and so the King of the Jews), and not charged for claiming to be God as in Matt 26:63. Had he claimed to be God then he will be the King of all, including the Gentiles, then Pontius Pilate would have tried for treason or something under his law himself and not talked to the Jews about the punishment that should be meted to him! Matthew 26:63 King James Version “63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.” Matthew 26:64 New King James Version Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Note: I am not sure if these translations are accurate though as my internet has been hacked lately, so knowing this it won’t be good for me to comment on this going forward! There is a different explanation that is supported by better evidence: the Jews picked up stones to kill Jesus because they understood he was claiming to be the Messiah. At Jesus’ trial, the High Priest asked, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ” (Matt. 26:63). First of all, we should notice that no one at the trial asked Jesus if he were God. However, if they thought he had been claiming to be God, that would have certainly been a question they would have asked but such is never recorded anywhere.

Haven't a tonne of other writers/thinkers made these arguments over the last while, some well known, and others not as widely known. E.g. Tom Harpur in Canada.

I'm not sure why Peter doesn't distinguish between how other Miracles are performed by other people. They do not do it _on their own authority as Jesus did_ . They did it by the permission, anointing or command of God. Also a plausible explanation for the different portrayal of Jesus in mark is that Mark thought the miracles of Jesus were important while John thought the claims of Jesus very important. The question remains to Bart, why would Mark think Jesus was God if Jesus didn't think so? And would we not be asking the same questions if we had John but not mark? If we had Jesus claiming to be God yet showing no power and authority that only God would have it becomes no different than me saying I am God. Anyone can claim to be God but can anyone raise others from the dead and forgive people's sins against other people not against themselves? "Who is this that the wind and seas obey him? Who is this that he can forgive sins?" These are questions asked of Jesus in mark. It is clear the John is making a claim about Jesus while Mark is substantiating it

Here’s a problem with Dr Ehrman’s argumentation. In his opening presentation he explains the later “gospel material” as stemming from a changing view of Jesus among Christians, but then in his first response acknowledges that Mark saw Jesus as divine as well. So what was the change?

If I understand correctly, the "historian" perspective is that because mark has so much in common with matthew and luke that either matthew and luke referenced mark or all 3 referenced a 4th source. It seems they have disqualified the possibility that these people bore witness to the same events and had generally the same experience? another question I have is - if these gospels were actually referencing some other source, wouldn't that make John more likely an honest recap of the story from the actual author's perspective since it is more unique? I find it particularly troubling this idea that if the book emphasizes certain characteristics or perspectives and that others do not, therefore this book was clearly the result of a changing/evolution of the religion, and not simply a different author explaining his own experiences the way he remembered them. Another very important and relevant detail is the time periods the stories of each gospel told. Mark, matthew, and luke cover a shorter time period (only 1 passover happens) whereas john covers the span of at least 3 years (3 passovers happen) It seems right out of the gate Bart sets the frame as "if it isn't in matthew mark or luke it didn't happen", which does not seem like a very fair assumption or starting ground.

Bart then seems to say "well in other religions other prophets heal the blind" which really doesn't seem to have a bearing on Peter's point. and maybe im looking to far into it but I think Bart stutters when his unfair assumption ("jews think this.. therefore christians must too") is brought out at 9:03.

First he compares this to when someone answers a "are you the person who .... " with "I am", which seems like a really obvious massive difference in context, then he compares it to peter who did not say/make reference to "I am". I have a very hard time thinking Bart doesnt actually get Peter's point - so why these diversion attempts?

SmalltimR It seems the NT speaks with two voices which explains the multitude of divisions in the Church and between Church and Synagogue, making Jesus unrecognizable to the latter.

Continuing- that should suffice. Each gospel takes a different angel on Jesus’s human and God uniqueness in coming into his physical appearance throughout his life. Bottom line is only the Spirit of God can open the eyes of the spiritually blind.

Jesus fulfilled approximately 300 Old Testament prophecies concerning His birth, death and resurrection. The Old Testament was completed 450 years before His birth. Then we have the eye witnesses-remember most were martyred for their belief. We also have both Old and New Testament prophecy being fulfilled to the letter right now as we debate whether the Bible is accurate or not. The Bible has never been disproved on any level although millions have attempted to do so. All the above and so much more is why Paul the apostle states that God considers the wisdom of this world to be foolish.

It is not considered true until you prove that you did. Though I guess we shouldn't be expecting too much out of you after stating "300 prophecies". Not even the foremost theist scholars claim that, but I guess if you want to post that level of stupidity on a public forum that's your call.

A child can refute Ehrman. He never stops talking from one point to another and no one ever has a chance to refute because hes moved on. His major premise was that Jesus' assertions change as time goes on from the earlier to the latter gospels...

Not sure what else you need for a claim of divinity. reture

Wait, then why was Jesus put on trail? Dr.Erhman stated that Jesus never claimed to be God in but in Luke 67:22 when asked by the judges if he is what he claims, he says “yes”. And even the judges say “why need anymore witnesses, we heard from his mouth.” Which leads Jesus to his death?

B)No one here is disputing that the Synoptic Gospels were written by people who saw Jesus as divine, making quotes 1 also useless. C) Being called a Son of God was not a sign of divinity itself during the 1st Century. It was a common way to refer to a person seen as very religious, with some other people also being called that in Jewish texts with no intentions of them being seen as gods themselves. D) Similarly, being a Messiah did not mean Jesus was divine.

Needless to say, the conclusion that Jesus was not divine prior-to coming to earth or following His resurrection is not likely at all, as the Bible identifies Jesus as being higher than the angels in heaven, and who is given 'all authority' over the heavens and the earth by GOD to rule for 1000 years(millennial reign), in GOD's name. And so, it is from this that Jesus would qualify the term of a divine being. PS, it's worth noting that Jesus' divinity does no make Him equal-to or GOD Himself, as that position is held by His own GOD and Father who declared Himself to be the source and cause of all things alone, and by Himself - Isaiah 44.244

1. Jesus’s Radical Self-Concept as the Divine Son of God. Radical critics deny that the historical Jesus thought of himself as the divine Son of God. They say that after Jesus’s death, the early church claimed that he had said these things, even though he hadn’t. The big problem with this hypothesis is that it is inexplicable how monotheistic Jews could have attributed divinity to a man they had known, if he never claimed any such things himself. Monotheism is the heart of the Jewish religion, and it would have been blasphemous to say that a human being was God. Yet this is precisely what the earliest Christians (who were Jews) did proclaim and believe about Jesus. Such a claim must have been rooted in Jesus’s own teaching. And in fact, the majority of scholars do believe that among the historically authentic words of Jesus-these are the words in the gospels which the Jesus Seminar would print in red-among the historically authentic words of Jesus are claims that reveal his divine self-understanding. One could give a whole lecture on this point alone; but let me focus on Jesus’s self-concept of being the unique, divine Son of God. Jesus’s radical self-understanding is revealed, for example, in his parable of the wicked tenants of the vineyard. Even sceptical scholars admit the authenticity of this parable, since it is also found in the Gospel of Thomas, one of their favorite sources. In this parable, the owner of the vineyard sent servants to the tenants of the vineyard to collect its fruit. The vineyard symbolizes Israel, the owner is God, the tenants are the Jewish religious leaders, and the servants are prophets send by God. The tenants beat and reject the owner’s servants. Finally, the owner says, "I will send my only, beloved son. They will listen to my son." But instead, the tenants kill the son because he is the heir to the vineyard. Now what does this parable tell us about Jesus’s self-understanding? He thought of himself as God’s special son, distinct from all the prophets, God’s final messenger, and even the heir to Israel. This is no mere Jewish peasant! Jesus’s self-concept as God’s son comes to explicit expression in Matthew 11.27: "All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him." Again there is good reason to regard this as an authentic saying of the historical Jesus. It is drawn from an old source which was shared by Matthew and Luke, which scholars call the Q document. Moreover, it is unlikely the Church invented this saying because it says that the Son is unknowable-"no one knows the Son except the Father"-, but for the post-Easter church we can know the Son. So this saying is not the product of later Church theology. What does this saying tell us about Jesus’s self-concept? He thought of himself as the exclusive and absolute Son of God and the only revelation of God to mankind! Make no mistake: if Jesus wasn’t who he said he was, he was crazier than David Koresh and Jim Jones put together! Finally, I want to consider one more saying: Jesus’s saying on the date of his second coming in Mark 13.32: "But of that day or that hour no man knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." This is an authentic saying of the historical Jesus because the later Church, which regarded Jesus as divine, would never have invented a saying ascribing limited knowledge or ignorance to Jesus. But here Jesus says he doesn’t know the time of his return. So what do we learn from this saying? It not only reveals Jesus’s consciousness of being the one Son of God, but it presents us with an ascending scale from men to the angels to the Son to the Father, a scale on which Jesus transcends any human being or angelic being. This is really incredible stuff! Yet it is what the historical Jesus believed. And this is only one facet of Jesus’s self-understanding. C. S. Lewis was right when he said, A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was and is the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us.

If Jesus is God and you kill God now who's running the world as far as God die. Which Jesus is the topic ❓ (1) the white Jesus (2) the real Jesus We've no white God dont teach me anything wrong from the white man. Or which bible are you coting ❓ The Slave bible or John or Paul or Martin or the List goes. This was a brainwashing people but real thats what we believe and in the real bible there's no thrinity, no human being is God. God is God and man is man. But before you white race came all the Prophet where Black it doesnt matter how you defind Black. In your mind we know that there's only two race and if you are not white then you are Black. Opposite of white straight to way you said Black.

Mark does allude to Jesus claiming to be God though. The Jews understood that only God forgives sin. He even knew what they were thinking. Mark 2:6-7&8 "But some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts: 7 'Why does he speak like this? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”' Mark does make the point that Jesus claimed to be God, as the Jews rightly understood that only God forgives sin, as sin is committed against Him. Right away Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?"

The woman, destitute following the death of her husband, came to Elisha after a creditor threatened to take her children as slaves. Though she had nothing in her house but a jar of oil, Elisha multiplied the oil until it filled all the vessels that she had, and she was able to sell the oil to pay off the debt.

Bible verses including the word or topic of Jonah. Biblical Verses related to John The Baptist. Josh 19:13 Then passed eastward to Gath-hepher [Jonah’s birthplace] and to Eth-kazin, and went on to Rimmon bending toward Neah. 2 Kgs 14:25 He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher. Jnh 1:1 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Jnh 1:3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. Jnh 1:5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. Jnh 1:7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. Jnh 1:12 And [Jonah] said to them, Take me up and cast me into the sea; so shall the sea become calm for you, for I know that it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you. Jnh 1:15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. Jnh 1:17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Jnh 2:1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly, Jnh 2:10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. Jnh 3:1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Jnh 3:3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. Jnh 3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. Jnh 3:6 For word came to the king of Nineveh [of all that had happened to Jonah, and his terrifying message from God], and he arose from his throne and he laid his robe aside, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. Jnh 4:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. Jnh 4:4 And the LORD said unto Jonah, “Art thou so angry?” Jnh 4:5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. Jnh 4:6 And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. Jnh 4:8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. Jnh 4:9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. Matt 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet: Matt 12:40 for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Matt 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. Matt 16:4 An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed. Matt 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. Luk 11:29 And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah. Luk 11:30 For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. Luk 11:32 The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. John 1:42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter). John 1:43 and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock). ANDERSON John 21:15 So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” John 21:16

The development of human beliefs relating to the universe and powers that control and shape it almost always ended in a god or several gods (even in the millions) who showed himself to and lived among man. This god or his plural all eventually withered away, leaving behind statues, paintings, poems and epics with the believers. Man needed to physically see, and if possible, touch and talk to their god in addition to expecting many miracles to buttress their belief and guarantee of a blissful afterlife for those who believe it. It is a struggle between the visible and invisible God.

Jesus literally forgives sins in the earlier gospels. Clearly he claimed he was God! He believed in the Old Testament which means only God can forgive sin. *Christianity Evidence for you to look into. I’m confident in the cumulative evidence that I believe anyone seeking truth with their bias aside will see the overwhelming evidence for Christianity after checking out the things below. Evidence: Look into the resurrection evidence, the fine tuning argument, the moral argument, the teleological argument, the cosmological argument. The sophisticated complicated language of DNA. The origins of life. Think about how things like purpose and love seem like they actually matter rather than being strictly chemical reactions. Look into the law and order of the known universe. The only reason we can even do science the way we do is on the assumption the universe has order. Look into Biblical prophecy, look into Christian miracles, eye witness testimony to miracles, life testimonies from Christians, Watch near death experiences where people see Jesus or heaven and hell (especially from former atheists), look into Jesus’ impact on society such as what year we are in right now and why, look into the historical evidence of Christianity, look into the science stated in the Bible before humans discovered it. Look into the archeological evidence for Christianity. Look into the laws of logic especially cause and effect and how that would point to a creator along with many other things. That should give you a great place to start if you are skeptic, you shouldn’t just trust me on the matter. You should seek the truth yourself.

Please, Mr Bart I need to know when Jesus was taken to Egypt with his mother at Age of 11 years ; and back at age of early 30 years ? Where in Egypt? What he was doing all this years? Who knows him as God in Egypt? Is Jesus was the same person when he comeback? There so much missing, I need to ask.

What makes calming the storm and walking on water miracles only God does compared to the OT miracles that Elijah and Elisha performed?

Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’ Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’ ; how is He then his Son?” And the common people heard Him gladly. Mark 12:35‭-‬37 NKJV Basically Bart, that's what Jesus said about the person who will be called "the Christ". Now if Jesus is the Christ, then he is Lord. And the proof of Jesus--being the Christ is the resurrection.

Everything, and I do mean everything, that supports the historicity of the Jesus-Messiah belief comes from the written claims of anonymous religious authors first recorded decades after this alleged person's life. You can't logically prove the validity of a claim by using its own existence as its own evidence. If your criteria for accepting claims is that the claim takes itself seriously, then why not also believe any other internally consistent and fervent truth claim? Why not believe the historicity of Muhammad's claims and believe he was a true prophet of Allah? After all, he made the claim, he believed it himself, and he wrote about it..so it must be true! Hell, at least Muhammad has contemporaneous, non-religious sources that verify he was most likely a real person. Jesus? Not so much.

@@sharpienate of course not it's own validity, but the eye witnes accounts are overwhelming. You cant find any other historical person being referenced as much as Jesus, especially decades after them. You can though find centuries later from other sources, Aristotle, Socrates, Alexander the great don't have this type of material to even provide a proof of their existence. I can say that everything found that someone says he is "x" can be written by someone else, that doesn't provide neither evidence nor proof of anything. The historical accounts prove the existence of Jesus Christ, the sudden shift of most parts of known world (Mediterranean) from polytheism to monotheism within decades is also evident, there are only 2 possibilities (as the third one can be exempt from equation meaning mental issues) either all are liars, or they did see what they saw. If you'd know that you would be persecuted for your lie, if caught under roman soldiers with such fierce power during torture wouldn't you say "ok I admit the body is there"??? Has anyone ever found the body of Jesus? The tomb is empty, the roman soldiers were executed as their families for treason, Saul from prosecutor with power to execute capital punishment shifts from pharisee to christian. You can't have this type of events during any other historical timeframe. Mhmd was a scumbang paedophile, necrophiliac, mass murderer, fascist, racist, womanizer with huge psychological problems, read the book "people vs mhmd, a psychological analysis". The epistle of Paul written earlier than 64ad having the Christian creed at this formation with witnesses of the time, that anyone reading the epistle could go and ask them. And for what reason would people allow themselves to be thrown in jail, beaten etc for a knowing lie? If they would know they lie no one would do it, if they wouldn't know they lie they would, exactly as jihadist do. Sarah 33:50 of quran proves that mhmd did everything for his own benefit. Either he existed or not, the quran is the only supposed material alongside with hadith to back all my claims about his character. Why to believe in Jesus Christ? Because he can prove himself as God, he was in front of Pontius Pilate, and told him:"you have only the power that is given from above, you can do nothing to me". And whom would you follow? A person that did miracles having people following him while he didn't have a place to stay? Or a murderer, pedophile, psychologically problematic person, with sex slaves, and other disorders? Jesus has the best moral values than any person in history. Josephus, pliny the younger are historians of the era, writing about his morality. And in the end Jesus says "whosoever believes in him", you don't have to believe in him, you are not obligated it's a personal choice. And it works better than the law you live on, you must not steal if you do it you are jailed, it's not a choice its obligatory. And for that free choice you make you take the reward of it: for those who believe in him eternal life, those who don't eternal death, that's what you want that's what you get. And I don't understand why people get offended by it, maybe because you believe you are good? Are you? Haven't you lied? Haven't you stole? Haven't you cursed God (used his name in vain)? Haven't you listed for anyone? A perfect God doesn't abide with imperfection, life doesn't abide with death, freedom doesn't abide with slavery, why then God would accept any imperfect human? Would you be able to live alongside with paedophile? would you go hand in hand with a thief? Would you like to be lied to? Why should God accept humans? What is it that you would do that God wouldn't be able to do it better than you? You want a miracle? Why? Havent you read about the woman that lost all her possessions because of her health condition, and saying "if only I would touch him", or the legionnaire "you can say it and it will be done" such trust in God's power! And you are wrong!! Not "everything" there are historians of the time referring to Jesus: tacitus, josephus, thallus, pliny the younger, origen, julius africanus, which other historical person does have such authenticity? You can in the end believe that you yourself can do "everything" but the only thing you cannot do is to know what the consequences are for every action you make, otherwise knowing the outcome you'd know what your action will be.

@B. S. Christians believe the word of God and preach it instead of denying it. That's WHY they are Christians (Philippians 2,16).

These Scholars pervert the Word of God and release one Bible Fake after another, which are all based on faulthy (made up) Manuscripts. That's why we have so many fake Bibles today, which come in the name of "better translations". They are all based on these faulthy (Alexandrian) Texts. That is what these Scholars really mean (but never say) when they're talking about the "earliest manuscripts". From Genesis 1 to Revelation 22 it's his word, and the whole religious world rages in war against it, especially Roman Catholicism, and the History proves the long war against the King James Bible, which saved so many souls and reconciled them unto God. "For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven." (Psalm 119,89 / KJV)

Jesus/God needed to teach more before he was killed for saying he was God. He needed to experience what it is like to be human. To see why so many were sinning. There are so many reasons.

@ಸಂತೋಷ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ Dear Santosh, I assume that you are honestly looking for answers and I would want to understand your question better. can you please elaborate about the lying part you mentioned at the end. I need to know what lie do you see, to respond you. If you are saying why Jesus said those words on cross(Matt 27:46/ Mark 15:34) when he said Father always listens to him in John 11:41. Hear me: I see Gods plan unfold for us and Jesus is honest to the solution Him, Father and Holy Spirit came up with, for us. Hear me and give some thought to it. I see that either one thing should happen to and for us to join God in heaven: 1. we need to be sinless and righteous as God is Good and Righteous, this is not happening as all of us are drenched in evil and darkness( Proud, hateful/unforgiving fellow brothers, lying and desires reaching the bottom of hell) Not one human is sinfree. 2. Or we make an attempt to reach God in our current condition i.e. the condition we are in as explained above. in our condition we should be extinguished, like the darkness is driven out in presence of light. But God is Love. He walked an extra mile towards us. I.e. Jesus as son of man. Though he is almighty and everlasting, he humbled himself to the fathers will. He came to us in our form that we can reach him with our sin. If we believe him and commit ourselves to him, we live as he preached us to do. And the darkness inside us will be washed away with his death and resurrection. we fear no death as we always live with him. we live to serve him, we serve him by treating fellow men like ourselves. Now since Jesus decided to come to us and lay down his life, he did it in full honesty(obviously as he is God and he is Good and all honesty came from him). His flesh and pain is as real as you would. Our God cried out in pain bore the excruciating pain and death for our sins so we can reach him once forever in his resurrection. Psalms 22, its cry of David and some of these words are used by Jesus on Cross. The Psalm is David's Cry to God in the first few verses and if you continue to read you could see David says God does always answer as he has been doing to since Abraham and praise worships and thank God towards the end of the chapter. This is a very special Psalm in that David in his suffering was able to prophecy the Suffering of Christ. I would like to include you in my prayers. Trust God he always takes care of his sheep and his sheep will hear him.

Other people have already pointed out all of the awesomeness of Bart Ehrman here, but there's one other thing I want to point out - When Williams is talking, he's very imprecise and vague much of the time, very rarely giving any concrete examples or references to what he's talking about. It comes across as a nebulous word salad, followed by an example (ie- blah blah blah... and then Jesus walks on water). I suspect that this is why Bart had a hard time nailing down precisely what Williams thoughts/ beliefs were about particular passages and gospels. Conversely, when Bart speaks, he's always very precise and very clear. There's never any doubt about what he's saying or what he means. If God were real and if the Bible really had been inspired by God, then the bible would also be clear and precise. There would never be any doubt about what it's saying or what it means. Hells, the bible even says (1 Cor. 14:33) "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace..." If that were true, there would only be one single Christian denomination. It would seem that the bible's own words prove that the bible isn't the word of God. Maybe it's the word of God's mentally handicapped second cousin? Maybe it's the work of an illiterate God who's high on nebula dust. More likely, though, it's the work of people who recorded their thoughts on what they believed, assuming that their words were inspired by God, then just asserting that it was indeed divinely inspired...

The New Testament clearly teaches that Jesus claimed to be God. The Bible also affirms the deity of Christ. This is evident in a variety of ways. First, Jesus claimed to be equal with God. He could forgive sin, something only God could do (Mark 2:5). Jesus claimed power to raise the dead (John 5:25-29). He claimed to be honored as God (John 5:18, 23) as well as to be equal with the Father (John 10:30). Second, Jesus claimed to be the great "I Am." John 8:58 states, "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.'" This "I Am" reference is made in connection with Exodus 3:14 where God revealed His name to Moses as "I Am." Jesus' statement, then, is a biblical claim for the deity of Christ. Third, Jesus claimed to be Yahweh God, the same God of Israel from the Old Testament. This included His claim to have eternal glory with the Father (John 17:5), His claim to be the first and the last (Revelation 1:17), His claim to be judge of all humanity (John 5:27), His claim to be the Good Shepherd (John 10:11), His claim to be the Bridegroom (Matthew 25:1; Isaiah 62:5), and His claim to be the light of the world (John 8:12; Psalm 27:1). Fourth, Jesus also claimed to be the Messiah God. This is evident in many of the titles attributed to Him in the Old Testament that are referred to in the New Testament. These include reference to Jesus as God (Psalm 45:6 and Hebrews 1:8), Lord (Psalm 110:1 and Matthew 22:43-44), Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:9 and Mark 14:61-64), and as Messiah (John 4:26). These references affirm the biblical deity of Christ. Fifth, Jesus accepted worship as God. Though the Old Testament commanded not to worship anyone but God alone, Jesus accepted worship on many occasions. Some of these included the healed leper who worshipped Him (Matthew 8:2), the ruler who knelt before Jesus after his son had been healed (Matthew 9:18), the Canaanite woman (Matthew 15:25), the mother of James and John (Matthew 20:20), and a demon-possessed man (Mark 5:6). The disciples even prayed to Jesus (Acts 7:59) and in His name (John 14:6; 15:7). Sixth, Jesus' followers recognized Jesus as God. They called Him God on multiple occasions (John 20:28; Colossians 2:9), referred to Jesus by other names used only of deity, such as Savior of the world (John 4:42), and prayed to or worshiped Jesus as part of the Godhead (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). John taught He was with God in the beginning as "the word" and that "the word was God" (John 1:1). While the New Testament never makes the direct statement "Jesus is God," it is clear that He is referred to as deity in a variety of ways. Colossians 2:9confirms, "For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily." (See also Philippians 2:6). Those who claim Jesus never referred to Himself as God deny many clear statements in Scripture (such as John 14:6). The deity of Jesus is biblical. Jesus is God, the second person of the Triune Godhead, consisting of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

It means they were blind to the truth and that Jesus was not in-fact claiming to be GOD

In our culture when somebody is elder then us like our fathers age he used to called us by son it doesnot mean we are his begotten sons. If jesus used father for God it does not mean jesus was God's begotten kid. If jesus was god's kid then where is Gods wife(Naoozo bellah). Every christian must read what jesus himself said in the bible which are in the red colors not what paul and mathew say. 1: jesus(pbuh) never said i am God or worship me. 2: i cast out devil with the spirit of God. 3: ‘I can of my own self do nothing - As I hear, I judge and my judgement is just, for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father(God). Anyone who say not my own will but the will og God he is muslim and jesus was muslim and he will comeback to testify it. May allah show the right path to all christian.brothers and sisters ameen.

@@anwarshamim7209 The crucifixion of Jesus is one of the best attested historical facts. Not only do his followers believe that, so do Jews, Romans, Greeks and secular historians. It seems only muslims do no accept that historical fact because it does not fit into their theological understanding. A shame.

Jesus peace be upon him said in the gospel of John ( 12:28 ) my father is great than i . in the gospel of John ( 10:29 ) my father is great than all . in the gospel of John (5:30 ) i can of myself do nothing as i hear i judge an my judgment is just for i seek not my will but the will of my father. in the gospel of Mathew ( 10: 16-18 ) it is mentioned in the book of Acts ( 2:22) Jesus peace be upon him says o men of Israel lesson to this , Jesus of Nazareth , a man approved of God among to you by signs and miracles which God did by him and you are witness to it. So how can you claim that Jesus peace be upon him claimed divinity ? it means you are insulting God. what kind of believe is this? when Jesus peace be upon him says clearly that he is a messenger of God But his followers event do not know who was Jesus peace be upon him .

Is he a God? Satan was before Adam. Is he a God. Why Jews thrown stones? Answer in the *Matthew 26:63-66,* because he claimed to be Messiah and son of God. *John **8:59* says, your God ran away after beating. Many people are Sons of God: Jacob is son of God first born (Exodus 4:22). David is begotten son of God (Psalms 2:5-7). Adam is Son of God (Luke 3:38). Are they Gods?

We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. 15John testified about him. He cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'" 16From his fullness we all received grace upon grace. 17For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. 18No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him._ - John 1.1-18 And in contrast with; _4For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness. 5He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh. 6By Yahweh's word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth. 7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses. 8Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm._ - Psalm 33.4-9 With that being said, the word of GOD, in verse 1 through 5, is the personification of GOD's will made manifest through the Son - GOD's word(literal) which is identified as coming from and being spoken by GOD(YHWH) - is attributed as the causal agent by which all things were made. This same word, would also be identified as GOD Himself, as a result of its works - the work(as creation) representing GOD Himself. Further resolution to this is found in verses 10 through 12, as the world is identified as being made through Him(the Word), and who would not recognize Him - setting a contrast between the worlds origin and the nature of corruption and sin, leading to a division between the world and the Word, by which it was made. Following this, the account goes-on to identify the same Word(living commandment) becoming flesh and living among us, and who would be glorified as the only begotten Son of the Father and who declared GOD to the world as the only begotten Son. Having said all that, and what stands out to me in this particular account, is just how many times the words 'only begotten Son' comes-up in the Greek text, thus outlining the nature of the relationship between the source(GOD the Father), and the Son(in subjection to said source).

Why? None of his theories can be validated because they all hinge on an unfound, literally made up "Q" gospel that has no existence outside his own head and has no hope of ever being found (super convenient for all of them wouldn't you say?). Plus, all of his 'problems' are resolved by this: "The disciples had to fit over three years of teachings *and* events (social, political, legal, and miraculous) by hand onto accesibly small scrolls while being hunted down to be killed. They, being individuals, emphasized different facets of the same jewel." Which is actually more plausible and has evidence and reason to back it up? I say the latter statement and not the never going to exist, fabricated by frustrated, unbelieving scholars, "Q gospel". So don't lose faith, my friend

@m0cker184

Elliot Smiles “Q” makes sense. The problem with the second scenario where each disciple “emphasized different facets of the same jewel” is that Matthew and Luke contain many passages that are the same as those in Mark. The most logical explanation for this is that each writer had a copy of Mark and used it as the foundation for their gospel, to which they added the elements which were important to their community to shape their gospel. This is where “Q” comes in, because there are passages in Matthew and Luke that are word for word the same but that do not appear in Mark. The most logical reason for this is that they both had a copy of the same text “Q” from which the copied passages into their gospel. The passages in Matthew and Luke that are unlike any other gospel are taken to be original to that writer.

@@elliottsmiles170 The "Q" document (Quelle, meaning: Source) is the foundation of all of the 3 main Gospels, the closest of which to the original Source/Q document is Mark. The other Gospels (Matt, Luke) largely copy from Mark - except John, which is markedly different than the others in writing style and content. No one knows who actually wrote either of them and the evidence is that they were all copies of copies of copies - and this is why the Muslims say that the NT and most of the OT is unreliable as authentic texts. We know about the rest of the NT books/letters - being written by Paul, the Hellenistic (read: pagan/polytheist) Jew and why his doctrines differ so much from all of the OT doctrines (totally opposite, really) and form most of current Church doctrine via the different "councils" of the Roman governmental powers.
