Debate:Did Jesus ever claim to be God? (view source)

:Ever wonder how people can still have this question in their minds?Luke 24:44 "He (Jesus) said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." 24:45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures." So that this has been spelled out throughout the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation through the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms and yet people will continue to say that Jesus never claimed it. Their minds remain closed for whatever rationale they have chosen. Let us pray they remain closed for not much longer. I fear that for too many that at even at His second coming they will still retain a closed mind.--[[User:Roopilots6|Roopilots6]] 16:20, 28 June 2007 (EDT)

==It doesn't matter==
Just because a book written almost 2,000 years ago says he was god doesn't make it correct. Do you believe any other religious text on its supernatural claims? No doubt Jesus existed, and no doubt he was a good person, even a first class revolutionary, but he wasn't a deity. The most likely explanation for biblical supernatural events is that they are made up by people who wanted to be associated with Jesus because they admired him, and then these events were written down as true events. Let's put it this way. Someone wrote a comic about Batman 40 years ago. His exploits have now been copied by two movie directors over the last 50 years, adding details, taking characters, exanding story lines from the comic books. There is almost a cult following of Batman. In a few hundred years someone might unearth a text about this Batman character and think he was a real crime fighter. --[[User:stubbstarbuck] 16:54, 28 June 2007 (EDT)
