Did the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY (Jesus Christ) really mean what He said here??

8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. \n9For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. \n10Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. \n2Cor. 8:10

There is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (peace be upon him) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me".\n\n[Mark 12:29] "Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord." \n\nSame message is repeated in the Glorious Quran in \n"Say: He is Allah,  The One and Only. "\n[Al-Qur’an 112:1]\n\nWhy did jesus pbuh said in mark 12:29 that '...the lord   OUR   god is one lord'. Why didn't he said that lord    YOUR    god is one lord. It means that one lord is also the lord of jesus pbuh.\n\nAlso in John 20:17, Jesus told Mary Magdalene to tell his followers: "I ascend unto my Father and your Father and to my God and your God". By referring to God as "his God", he left no room for anyone to claim that he was God. Anyone who claims to have a God, cannot be God.\n\n"Indeed they reject the truth, those that say "God is Christ, the son of Mary." For indeed, Christ said, worship God, who is my God and your God (Quran 5:75)."\n\nQuran speaks about positive image of Jesus... we muslims love Jesus.. be we donot believe that He is God. because There is only One God....please contact me at taimur_1984 if you have any more questions regarding islam. \n www.islamtomorrow.com

Are you speaking of Jesus Christ? I don't remember anywhere in the New Testament where He made a statement that was similar to that one... where did you see that?

cheri_da_rn: he meant carpentry!\n\nI wonder, was it before or after he got married to Mary Magdalene? You couldn't really hold it against the guy if he was already married and THEN found out that he was supposed to be the Messiah, and die on the cross, etc.

That is the sentence...Jesus was making a point about his diety. God was often refered to as I am... When moses was sent to free gods people he was told to tell pharoh i am said to let my people go. He was also letting the people know that he was around many years before he was born a man.

no, the bible says His ways are above our ways, talking about God. There are somethings we wont know until we get to heaven.

The phrase "Oh My God" is nothing more than a modern translation of crying out to God.\nSounds to me like you need to get down from your pedestal and join the rest of the world.

Having grown up in Pentecostal churches I can say that it is a doctrinal statement and NOT a scripture. It is derived from reading of the experiences of the early church and evangelistic successes. The true evidence of having received the Holy Spirt are the fruit as others have mentioned. Certainly we would expect "Holiness" right? And of course Jesus made it an absolute requirement for His disciples.\nWhy? \nI have been working on this for years... I believe we are to wait corporately for a revelation of Jesus as "glorified King". This is what we are to be witnesses of. It was this revelation that transformed common men into "uncommon" men. This is when they really changed. After that event they were unstoppable and filled with power. They were effective and walked in wisdom. I think this is our mandate also. What do you think about my suggestion?

Jesus was telling his people that he was teaching the true spiritual way to God.\nAnd also saying that the religion had been corrupt, listen to what he teaches and follow his example in life.\nNot to think he was a GOD!! That would be a sin.\nNot sure if anyone remembers but he was on a quest to go back and follow the old ways.\nHe was trying to teach people the old ways, and you all screwed it up!

It seems like he's asking a question, but not. Actually, Lord is asking these questions to us. These are english translations of some verses from Qur'an.

lemme get this straight... he (Jesus) said that he is a prophet, and 'peter' said he is the son of god... so jesus doesn't admit it to himself? \n\nstarr ww agrees that jesus was a prophet, but became a saviour when he died which mean who made him what he is? DID HE? OR DID YOU? unless he screams from the cross "I'm doing this for you people, you better be thanking me and make me your god or something, cos this thing hurts like a b****"

God speaks for Himself through His Word (the Bible) and through His Messengers (preachers).  i am not a preacher, and I won't pretend to know the Bible inside and out, but I know this much:  God Loves You.  He loves you so much, he gave up His Son on your behalf.  He loves you now, and he has always loved you. He is waiting to know whether you love him...

these words mean to me that something is so immense that we as humans can not even comprehend what they actually mean. we only use a tiny portion of our brains. i think if you do believe in god he is so powerful,immense, infinite eternal whatever words you want to use, but words are never enough

Sadly, again you are twisting the scripture. According to the structure of the verse, you are likely using the KJV of the Bible. While many Christians swear that this is the "most accurate" version of the Bible, theologians have long disagreed. When looking at the original text for the word "gods" in this text, we find it is the word Elohim. In different translations Elohim is translated as these different words:\nGod\ngods\njudges\n\nIn Exodus 22:8-9, the word Elohim is translated as judges. So what is the proper translation in the case of Ex 22:28. Well, we should read the rest of the chapter to find the proper context. \n\nWhat concept best fits the context of the term? What concept is best understood in the second language? The idea has to be transferred from one culture and time to another culture and time. There may or may not be a literal translation from the first to the second language.\n\nIn the case of the term Elohim in Exodus 22: 28. the translators of the various versions have used gods, God, judges, or simply have carried the Hebrew term over as is. Technically, each translation is correct. However, which one is the best in this passage?\n\nThe term gods carries the idea of something other than the true God of heaven. Why would the people be told not to revile the gods? They were to have nothing to do with them. Because of its connotation, this is not a good translation here.\n\nWhen Exodus 22: 8 and 9 are considered, the term God has definite meaning for the time when this commandment was given. The people were being led by God. He had just issued the Ten Commandments. Whatever the people did or said was considered to be before God. Thus, all judgments were considered to be made by God.\n\nThe judges were considered to be knowledgeable men who represented God. It was they who made decisions when there was a dispute. As a guide, they used the laws that God had given to them through Moses. Because of their position and the authority given to them by Moses, going before them with a case to be decided was as if they were going before God.\n\nAt first glance, the use of several versions for understanding in this example will cause confusion. However, with a knowledge of the background, one can see why the versions use different words in translation. Now, the reader can choose the rendering that he can best comprehend. The person who uses one version only can be at a disadvantage. If there is a poor translation in his version, he may obtain a misunderstanding of the concept. \n\nIn conclusion, I would suggest that either God or judges can be used. However, the reader must read the whole chapter to avoid interpreting this verse out of context. Here is a lesson for not using one verse by itself to formulate a belief.

It's hard to say. Many times when you take things like that out of context, they can lose a lot of their meaning. However, it seems to me that he was saying that he would send prophets to us to help show us the way.

Jesus is quoting from Psalm 82.  The exact line he's quoting is: "I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.'  But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler."  It does not mean human beings are literally gods, but that everyone who hears the word of God and takes it to heart contains the Spirit within them.
