To understand this, you must look at the whole Bible. Already in the OT God uses this title, see Isaiah 43:10. "I am He" is known among the Jews as a unique title of God, when Jesus said "I am He" in another place, several hundreds of people fell down before Him, see John 18:5-6. The Bible makes it clear that Jesus is the creator of all things, see John 1:3, John 1:10 and Colossians 1:16-20.How is John 8:24 be understood as “God's will is to believe with love that Jesus is the God and Creator of the universe” ??? Care to explain ??
Matthew 26:28..And wherein the whole Bible did Jesus ever say or even imply he was sent to die for the sins of others ??? Read what Jesus said and NOT what other people said !
For this is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.
Mark 10:45
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.
Hebrews 9:22
And without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Paul not only says in this passage that God is in Jesus, which in itself is nothing unusual, but he also uses a Greek word that you will not find anywhere else in the Bible, he uses the word "somatikos" which means "incarnation", Paul says in Colossians 2:9 that God became flesh, and this incarnation is Jesus(John 1:1, John 1:14). No one has ever seen God, but by God becoming flesh, He has finally become visible through His only Son, see John 1:18.Well, the fullness of God in Jesus (Colossians 2:9) doesn’t make him God. Clearly, Paul did not see the fullness of God in someone means that someone is God too. In Ephesians 3:19 Paul said everyone should be filled with “all the fullness of God,” – does that mean Paul wanted everyone to be God ???
According to the Bible, all prophets are sinners, for example David, who committed adultery and then murdered Uriah to hide the adultery. He committed adultery and murder, which is the punishment of death according to the law, so God killed David's son so that David could escape punishment. Solomon, the wisest king of Israel, was an idolater. Samson was a fornicator... No prophet in the Bible is without sin, only Jesus is, because Jesus is God and only God is perfect.Sin simply means a state where one is when he/she disobeys God’s Commands. So, any person on earth who always does good and does not ever sin IS a righteous person and even if he’s sinless, that doesn’t make him God, that makes him a prophet-like person….. and if he’s truly a prophet, that’s what we expect him to be anyway, else he would NOT be a prophet of God, now would he ?
The baptismal formula is present in the oldest Bibles and is authentic according to the Text Critical Version of the New Testament.There’s a dispute even among the Christian scholars as ‘in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost' was said to be fabricated, that is, ‘in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost' was added on much later.
