Oh certainly! I'm always happy to help out a beginner (although I'm sure if you kept reading, you'd have found it yourself eventually).
It sounds like you're not interested in any of the non-Gospel scriptural references to Jesus being God (such as his name being called Immanuel--"God with us"--in Isaiah 7:14, or "Mighty God" in Isaiah 9:6)--you're only interested in Jesus portraying Himself as God or the Son of God, right?
So the clearest reference is probably in John 10:30, where Jesus plainly states, "I and the Father are one." I've heard some people mistakenly say that Jesus wasn't calling Himself God here; He was just saying that He and the Father were in agreement. But that's not how his Jewish audience understood Him--they took up rocks to stone Him for blasphemy! And when Jesus asked them why they would stone Him, they said, "because You, a mere Man, make Yourself [out to be] God" (v. 33). And Jesus didn't argue with them, or say, "No I don't!" because their accusation was accurate--He really was claiming to be God.
A couple of chapters before that, the Jews were ready to stone Him for portraying Himself as God in another way--calling Himself the same "I Am" that Jehovah used to refer to Himself in Exodus 3:14 (John 8:58). But Jesus slipped away before they could execute Him for blasphemy.
So those are the two best cases of Jesus calling Himself God, although there are other cases in which He is called God by the people around Him--and He accepts their worship rather than correcting them, thus implying that He is portraying Himself as being worthy of their worship as God. In Matthew 14, when Jesus calmed a storm in a boat, His disciples said, "Truly, you are the Son of God!" And Jesus didn't say, "Oh come on; I'm just a man like the rest of you!" Knowing that He was the Son of God, He accepted their worship as such.
When Thomas doubted the appearance of Jesus after the resurrection, and Jesus had Thomas touch His wounds, Thomas declared His identity--"My Lord and my God!" Again, Jesus didn't say, "Oh stop!" He said, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." So again, it's pretty obvious Jesus is portraying Himself as God, even if He's not saying the words Himself.
I hope that's enough to get you started; let me know if I can be of any further assistance!
Hello axe and that you very much for getting back to me. Sorry for the late reply.
I m still not convinced by the answer. Out there there are thousands of bible all saying diffèrent things, and since the bible has being corrupted it’s hard to believe everything in there. But I do believe in the gospel the real one that was sent on Jesus uppon him. I believe in God the only one who has not beggot and not being begotten who has no partner. And I believe in Jesus as the messenger of God and the son of merry.
I enjoy talking with someone who has knowledge and I would love continue sharing information with you if you agree of course.
So let’s start with the son of God.
I takes strong exception to the Christian dogma that "Jesus is the only begotten son, begotten not made". This is what the Christian is made to repeat from childhood in his catechism. I have asked learned - Christians, again and again as to what they are really trying to emphasise, when they say "BEGOTTEN NOT MADE".
And my brothers and sisters Of Christian believe know that according to their own God-given records, God has sons by the tons like :
"....Adam, which was the SON OF GOD."Luke 3:38
"That the SONS OF GOD saw the daughters of men that they were fair..."
"And when the SONS OF GOD came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them...." Genesis 6:2&4
"...Israel is MY SON, even my firstborn:"Exodus 4:22
"...for I (God) and a FATHER to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn." Jeremiah 31:9
"...the Lord hath said unto me, (David) Thou art MY SON: this day have I BEGOTTEN thee."Psalms 2:7
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS OF GOD." Romans 8:14
Actually in the language of the Jew, every righteous person, every Tom, Dick and Harry who followed the Will and Plan of God, was a SON OF GOD.
It was a metaphorical descriptive term, commonly used among the Jews. The Christian agrees with this reasoning, but goes on to say - "but Jesus was not like that". Adam was made by God. Every living thing was made by God; He is the Lord, Cherisher and Sustainer of all. Metaphorically speaking therefore God is the Father of all. But Jesus was the "BEGOTTEN" son of God, not a CREATED son of God?
Hope to hear from you soon brother
