I need help in witnessing to someone who believes that she is a Christian, but also believes that Jesus is not God, just the Son of God. She, in fact, believes she has a 'special revelation' that requires this belief.
She teaches perfection.
That it can be attained only by the knowledge that Jesus was just a man anointed by God from birth, who was tempted and yet overcame without sinning.
If He were truly God, there is no hope for us to live without sin because we're NOT God.
In other words,
Can You be a Christian if You believe that Jesus was just a man filled with God's Spirit?
If not, why not?
She says she believes that Jesus is who He says he is in His Word,(Son of Man, etc) and we should judge her fruit to decide if she is redeemed.
She says that Jesus NEVER said "I AM GOD".
John 8:56 says:
"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."
57 The Jews therefore said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"
58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."
Is this as close as Jesus comes to saying 'I am God'?
