Evangelizing the Church in the Age of Delusion

the divinity of jesus christ

SOME OF MY NOTES:

JOHN 3:13-21

"No one has ascended into heaven,
but He who descended from heaven:
the Son of Man."
-John 3:13

The fact that Jesus claimed to be God is irrefutable.*  The one question that every individual needs to answer for themselves is, "Do you believe the Bible to be the divine word of God?" (for further study, click on:  The Bible Says Series, The Bible).

In this passage, John 3:13-21, Jesus refers to Himself as both Son of Man and Son of God.  He also calls Himself the "only begotten Son of God" (see verses 16, 18).  In context, there is absolutely no question that Jesus is equating Himself with God.  He says as much in 1:18, "the only begotten God."

So here in chapter 3, the fact that Jesus claimed divinity is without question:  "the only begotten Son of God" is synonymous with "the only begotten God."

And in verse 13 (see above), we have an additional declaration of divinity:  Jesus reveals that the Son of Man, Himself, "descended from heaven."


"Now, Father, glorify Me together
with Yourself, with the glory which
I had with You before the world was."
-John 17:5


Here is yet another of the myriad examples of why other religions (i.e. Mormonism, Islam) that include the Bible as a part of their "holy books" is the epitomy of ignorance!**

**For those who are not familiar with Mormonism (click here) or Islam (click here), both clearly, and undeniably refute what the Bible teaches about Jesus.
