Five Proofs of the Deity of Christ

This is part of our five reasons series, in which I address the deity of Christ by giving Biblical proofs of his divinity.

[seabiscuit]

Another proof is from the words of Jesus when he prayed in the Garden saying :
"And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world beginning." John 17:5


Jesus would have only asked to be glorified with the father if he himself was God. Because God will never share his glory.
""I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols." Isaiah 42:8


So Jesus is asking to share in God's glory which he would have known would be forbidden, unless he himself was God. This is a verse that many Jehovah's witnesses struggle with because they obviously believe Christ was a created being.

Important Video, especially in a time when some "Christians" claim that Jesus is just a Prophet, who happens to be God's son. It is so sad but in the young Generation in Germany there are easily more anti-trinitarians than trinitarians.

Thank you Dr. Cooper for bringing back the first two measures of "A Mighty Fortress is our God." I've really missed it. :)

Amen and God bless. What an amazing thing to know that God himself became flesh and died for us.

Anthony Rodgers and Michael Heiser have some awesome content on the trinity. Sam Shamoun has some good content for dealing with muslim or JW objections.

If Jesus is God (or equal to God the father), why did he call our God and Father his God and Father at John 20:17?

[GizmoFromPizmo]

God gave His own blood for the church.

Acts 20:28 - Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Not sure why people have a hard time with this. Christ said no one has seen the Father. Yet, Moses saw God in the OT so who did he see? Christ, because He was/is the God of the OT

Thank you for this concise presentation of Scriptural Support for Christs Deity. So many are trying to teach a false-christ by the spirit of antichrist. And your video is great to refute those heresies. Thank you.

God Bless your ministry. In the name of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in whom we are baptised; Be blessed.

The word 'God' 'deity' 'Lord' e.t.c when applied to Christ is always assumed by 'trinitarians' to prove that Jesus is 'Almighty God' which is totally untrue! When Jesus was accused of "calling himself God" ( John 10:33)by the Jews, he rightly pointed out that God himself even called their leaders 'gods'! ( John 10:34, 35); then he declared "I am the SON of God" ( John 10:36) So many times Jesus repeated this "God sent His Son" And in the Vineyard parable "The Vineyard owner sent his SON" ( Mark 12:6) Thus every time a person says "Jesus is God" they deny the words of Jesus himself! Dont listen to theologians, listen to Jesus!

In the triumphant entry didn't they worship him when they said hossana to the one who comes in the name of the lord.

[wilwelch]

Jesus is truly God in the flesh! How awesome is that? Thanks for another great video. SDG

Can you direct me to some more videos on this topic? I don't agree with the trinitarian view but I do believe that Jesus prexisted in heaven before coming here. Lately I have had some Unitarians tell me otherwise and I would like some kind of backup. They just keep sending me stuff from the trinitarian view which I told them I didn't agree with.

'The longer the beard, the wiser the person'? No. The son was with the father in heavan and the came to earth, Oh! I should let Jesus himself explain! " God, SENT FORTH his only begotten son". Trinitarians deny this statement. Yet Jesus stated it over 10 times in John's gospel. At John `13:16 Jesus reasoned "A slave is not greater than his master, NOR IS ONE THAT IS SENT FORTH GREATER THAN THE ONE THAT SENT HIM." Jesus constantly declared that "He did nothing of his own initiative" ( John 5:30). Trinitarians cannot play the 'incarnation' card either because when God 'sent forth His son' He was still in Heavan! Bible truth!

Word can mean anything for every different sentence and just because 2 beings can be Word doesn't make them of one of the same thing.
If one is word because he obeys commands
that is not same with someone as word who commands you some words to do something.
Neither they are Godhead, Trinuine or Trinitarian.
