Did Jesus claim that he was God?

[Boojatta]

Poll question: Did Jesus claim that he was God?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

1. Did God claim he was Jesus?

[ixion]

2. He claimed to be the Son of God, as the story goes, and technically was Jewish.

[BillStein]

16. technically?

technically he was a Jewish man, raised by Jewish parents, who preached Judaic values.

3. Blessed Trinity--God the Father, God the Son(Jesus) and

God the Holy Ghost. Three in One.

[azurnoir]

4. explain question 3 what has being a Muslim or not got to do with whether or not

Jesus claimed to be God?

[darkstar3]

5. John 10:30

"I and my father are one."

[Bluenorthwest]

6. The time of Jesus predates Islam by hundreds of years

as everyone knows. So the intention of this poll is unclear? Did Moses have a Model T? No. Did Rasputin have a telephone? Actually yes, that was a trick question, toward the end, he did have a phone, but not a cell.

[OHdem10]

8. Mulims believe in Jesus but they believe he was a Prophet/

[Bluenorthwest]

9. And yet, he lived hundreds of years prior to Mohammed and the

Koran. Of course, the Koran has many stories of Jesus.

[Boojatta]

10. According to Islam, is it possible that Jesus was God?

If Jesus wasn't God but claimed to be God, then would his hypothetical claim be considered, under Islam, to be an act of blasphemy?

[ProgressiveProfessor]

13. No it is not

[BillStein]

17. It isn't?

I thought the Koran follows the Judaic idea of one G-d, indivisibkle, as it were- G-d in human form would be idolatry, at least

[BillStein]

19. oops

too late to edit- my mistake there- we agree

11. Jesus was a scientologist.

And he claimed he was a better player than both Pelé and Maradona.

[LiberalAndProud]

24. And here I thought he was a Transcendentalist.

Just shows you how wrong I can be...

[ProgressiveProfessor]

12. If you accept what is in the New Testament, it is clear in context that he did

[edhopper]

14. The facts are

that we only have things written centuries after his death (if he existed at all) and we only have copies of those from centuries later. So we have no way of actually knowing what he really said.

[humblebum]

25. There again you are claiming something that you have no objective proof for.

"we only have things written centuries after his death" - merely one opinion among many, no proof. The gospels and epistles themselves indicate that they were written within a century or less after Jesus. It is mere speculation to say anything to the contrary.

[Deep13]

15. Don't know. Didn't talk to him. No reliable accounts survive....

He probably never existed.

[BillStein]

18. He existed

But his legend grew into someone else entirely... sort of like ronald reagan

[Deep13]

20. There may have been somebody that started the story...

...but if there was, he was not the JC described in the New Testament. Kind of like how there was no King Arthur even if it turns out that the legend was originally based on some Roman general who fought off the Saxons for a while. He wasn't the Arthur of the stories.

[BillStein]

21. Exactly nt

[cleanhippie]

22. How do you know that?

On what proof do you base that claim?

[Indi Guy]

23. My thoughts exactly...

Opinion stated as fact is still only opinion.

[qazplm]

27. proof and religion

don't seem to go hand in hand very well so asking him for proof seems somewhat...specious. He doesn't have it, neither do you, neither does anyone else, thus why folks have to go on faith, or not, to decide.

[humblebum]

26. I and the Father are one. John 10:30.

If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." John 14:7

[Zebedeo]

29. This

:applause:

28. Was Jesus a schizophrenic...

Or suffering from temporal lobe epilepsy?
