Jesus "defined" Himself. Both the Witnesses and the Muslims have it wrong.......according to the actual content of the Holy Bible. Anyone attempting to tell you different are reading from their OWN BOOKS that were never inspired by the Holy Spirit of God. Take the Witnesses for example.........If the Watchtower and its bible the New World Translation is correct.........why has every historical prophecy this cult has predicted been proven WRONG? The perfect example this cult's prediction concerning Armageddon...........they were wrong in 1914, 1915, 1918, 1925 and 1975.
Now they want to tell us that Jesus is not part of the Godhead (the 3 divine entities that make up the Godhead are The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost/Spirit) as all being defined in being in one place at one time. (Matt. 3:16-17) The Holy
Spirit descended like a Dove, the Father spoke from Heaven, This is My beloved Son in whom I AM well pleased, as Jesus came up from the water after being baptized by John the Baptist.
Then the Muslims want us to believe that Jesus was not the Messiah, God in the flesh....but just another prophet much like Moses. And they tell us from their own Bible.......the Koran, that was supposedly written by an illiterate man who could not read nor write...but had others transcribe his visions.
Neither agree with the New and Old Testament Canons.....where all books of the Bible agree with each other concerning the Messiah of Prophecy. Both are man made cults and are presenting Anti-Christ doctrines. As anyone that denies the deity of Jesus is an antichrist. (1 John 2:22)
Jesus is defined in scripture as the "I AM". Consider the evidence in the Gospel of John. The Word was God (John 1:1-5, 10-12, 14. Everything was created by the WORD. The world was made by the light. The same God dwelt among us a Man.
Jesus's omnipresence (John 1:45-49). Jesus saw an event where He was not physically present. Nathaniel then realized who Jesus was. This was later confirmed at Lazarus' death. (John 11:3-15) Jesus demonstrated that He could resurrect the dead.
Jesus knew the hearts of men (John 2:24). This is a claim of omniscience. Jesus knew the past of people that He just encountered having never met them before. (John 4:17-18, 28-29). Jesus could heal without being present. (John 4:47-53).
Jesus' claim of being the Son of God made Him equal to God (John 5:17-18). Jesus holds all things of this physical reality together, "And He (Jesus) is before all things, and by Him (Jesus) all things consist.
In John "6" Jesus demonstrates that He has the power over nature, all things He created.......when He feed the 5000 via the miracle of the loaves and the fishes.
Jesus defined Himself as the "I AM"..........just as God defined Himself to Moses in (Ex. 3:14) (John 8:23-24).
The Jewish leaders knew that Jesus was claiming to be GOD (John 8:50-59)
Strange is it not.....that the enemies of Jesus knew and comprehended that Jesus was claiming to be God in the 1st century.........but the cults that did not exist until many centuries later, after the life Jesus......declare they know more today than those who witnessed the events in the 1st century.
Is it any wonder the Witnesses are batting 0 for 5 with their dooms day predictions?
