Proof Jesus said he is not God in atleast 3 Gospel accounts

God ONLY has immortality! That means that God could NEVER die. Jesus died. But Jesus was raised to life again and now has the immortality that God has. Which means that Jesus will never die again.


Absolutely!!! Christ is the firstfruits of the resurrection and eternal life.
Thank you for your post!!

"God doesn't, God can't"

Nice try but you can't limit God.

What do you think? He did it to save you.


Not quit sure what your saying here... Did you read my post wrong? I didnt say that God can die. And I never said that you can limit God.... You mentioned, "Nice try, but you cant limit God." I know that..... Did you read that in my post somewhere that I said that? Not sure where you going with this.....

Sorry, maybe Im just not understanding you..... if so, then it's my bad...

He did die in Jesus Christ or through Jesus Christ. Not as if God literally died. He had to die through the Son of God.

As for proof that God died. We get it from this:

Jesus claims that no one has greater love than the one who lays down His life for His friends.

John 15:13 greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

So, to claim that God didn't die for us; implies that Jesus loves us more than God does. That's not correct; because God is love. (1 John 4:8) So God needed to die for us by His own rules.

"God doesn't, God can't"

Nice try but you can't limit God.

What do you think? He did it to save you.

So based off your words, John 15:13 is now the foundation of the Gospel. God is also fully man because of John 15:13 and if he is not also fully man based off John 15:13 then the love of God is weak. Based off your interpretation of John 15:13 the Son is greater than the Father.

Not only do you overlook what is friendship, you also overlook the foundational words or what is expedient from God's only begotten Son.


Joh 15:13
Joh 15:14
Mat 23:9
Joh 8:40
Joh 7:17
Joh 8:42
Joh 10:29
Joh 13:16
Joh 14:28
Jud 1:4

Your word's seemingly turn the Grace of our God into lasciviousness as well as deny the only Lord God and also his anointed which is our lord who is lesser than Lord God and not the only true God.

Yet you will say that I am the one who in speech limit God because I do not believe God died; that only babes can percieve this.

Are you forgetting that Jesus said "before Abraham was I am"?

1. Not according to what is expedient; Christ is not saying or implying he is God in that verse.

1Co 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Joh 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

Joh 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

Joh 8:54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

2. Also discussed here
"John 8:58" Jesus never said he is I Am That I Am

Jesus had said that Abraham rejoiced to see, and saw "My day". Then the Jews asked him if he had seen Abraham. Jesus did not say that he saw Abraham, but rather he says "before Abraham's coming I am."

Joh 8:58 Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming—I am;' ( Young's Literal Translation)

Abraham is to come again by resurrection from the dead. He is to be born from the dead. But before Abraham can be born from the dead, Jesus must come and die and be born from the dead himself.


Good point. Also we have to remember that the gospel was also preached before Abraham. Everyone knew about a coming Messiah. Adam and Eve knew about someone to come that would take away the sins of the world. So Jesus had every right to say that before Abraham was, I am. How true that is.

Jesus is NOT saying that he was actually here before Abraham. But people knew of a "coming Messiah" or someone to come.

My words seemingly have nothing to do with lasciviousness ... :confused:

lascivious:
inclined to lustfulness; wanton; lewd
arousing sexual desire
indicating sexual interest or expressive of lust or lewdness

I didn't say He was. It's because Light of truth thinks Jesus is only as old as his birthday. I'm pointing out that Jesus existed long before being born.

It's because you think God can't be born as a human. That limits what God can do.

1. If using the grace of our God through the gospel of Christ " Joh 15:13 " to imply God is weak; If he did not become fully man and lay down his life for man; Is not under the ungodliness and lasciviousness umbrella then I don't know what is. " Jud 1:4 "

Outline of Biblical Usage [?]
  1. unbridled lust, excess, licentiousness, lasciviousness, wantonness, outrageousness, shamelessness, insolence

2. If you are not using " John 8:58 " as a means to imply or say that Christ is Lord God the only true God then I stand corrected " Pro 15:10 "

I believe 100% that God did become a man to fulfill His own definition of the highest love and the love of a Shepherd. As the scriptures say

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:18)

So I believe God loves in deeds(actions). God doesn't just expect us to obey the scriptures but fulfills them also Himself.

The fact is that God considers His people as a whole to be His bride. His wife. The new Jerusalem. He, from the beginning planned to express His love for her through the cross.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Matthew 5:17)

2. This refers to Torah and Tanakh . To my knowledge God never expressed in Torah or Tanakh that he himself was going to die and resurrect for the sin of man and be some kind of high priest himself between Man and God. I don't recall this.

1. Seems like you reject friendship of his only begotten son.

Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Joh 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Joh 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Joh 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

Joh 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

Joh 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

2. The Torah says God is not a man and that is both metaphorical and literal but you using new testament to say otherwise and justify God dying.

No... it's called knowing your God. There is no reason why our Creator would want to change into a human. God does not bring himself down to us, he wants us to bring ourselves up to him. But in a spiritual way. A way of thinking spiritually and not of the flesh.

God does not change. Is there a verse that tells us that God changed into a man? Did someone tell you that? Just trying to think why anyone would ever think why our Heavenly Father would want to come down to earth and change into a man.

But he didnt...... Why would you even think that? Is there a point of his pre-existance? Doesnt scripture tell us that he was born? The book of Hebrews tells us that the messiah had to be like us. Do you know why?

If Jesus was here before his birth, then how come no one knew about it or was never told about it in the OT? Adam & Eve was never told that the "coming" Messiah was already here. Abraham, Moses, David, they were never told that. They knew of a coming Messiah. Moses was told that in Deut 18, David in 2 Sam 7, etc, etc...

Hebrews 1... tells us that "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,"

That verse would be written totally different if Jesus Pre-existed!!! Think about it. In you mind.... why do you want Jesus to pre-exist? Is there a reason for this? Just curious..........

I don't know why people choose to make nonsense out of common sense language.Jesus is a son of Abraham. Therefore Abraham existed before Jesus. Sons don't exist before their fathers.

Concerning Jesus himself. He is one person. He is not one person outside of flesh and another person inside of flesh. Jesus himself was born and Jesus himself died. and Jesus himself was raised from the dead.

Do you believe all sons of man are spirit and flesh?

God created THE MAN from the dust of the ground and breathed into THE MAN the breath of life and THE MAN became a living soul.
Man is basically DUST. He is a living soul only because he has the breath of life. The breath of life can be referred to as "spirit of life". see Gen 6:17, Gen 7:15 , Gen 7:22

When the spirit or breath of life leaves THE MAN, THE MAN returns to what he was before he became a living soul.....DUST.

That's why God told Adam that he was DUST and to DUST he would return. God said, "YOU are DUST and to DUST YOU shall return.
