Why Do You Believe Jesus is God?

You have to show that there is some property related to being both man and God that cannot be answered with that view.

I think I've struck gold with asking the question of whether Jesus should be worshipped. The initial answer is yes but if you pry they will say men should not be worshipped and that Jesus is a man (thus implying Jesus should not be worshipped). This puts them in a bit of pickle because they must say Jesus should be worshipped but also that Jesus should not be worshipped. I've not came across anyone proposing a good solution to that yet.

I am just contented that I do not have to "A" - "B" - "C" through the explanation of who Jesus was and what he was sent to do.

Was Jesus worshipped? In the "queen" James version he was, in the literal translation he wasn't. These people like to point to passages like Matt 28:9

QJV: And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

OH look see Jesus was worshipped - our book is infallible and He's God!

Literal: and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, `Hail!' and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.

Bowing is not worship. Next.


Fun for the day: Adding "with the evidence of speaking in tongues" to every single sentence posted (since that's not in there either)
