I just heard the gospel of today in mass and it blew my mind is like Jesus is talking to all those people that don’t believe in his divinity,
please read the Gospel according to St John ch 5: 31-47 this a translation of the NASB
Code: 
*   31.
* "If I alone testify about Myself , My testimony is not true .

* 32.
* "There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true .

* 0.
* Witness of John

* 33.
* "You have sent to John , and he has testified to the truth .

* 34.
* "But the testimony which I receive is not from man , but I say these things so that you may be saved .

* 35.
* "He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light .

* 0.
* Witness of Works

* 36.
* "But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John ; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish -the very works that I do -testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.

* 0.
* Witness of the Father

* 37.
* "And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form .

* 38.
* "You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent .

* 0.
* Witness of the Scripture

* 39.
* "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life ; it is these that testify about Me;

* 40.
* and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life .

* 41.
* "I do not receive glory from men ;

* 42.
* but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves .

* 43.
* "I have come in My Father's name , and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name , you will receive him.

* 44.
* "How can you believe , when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God ?

* 45.
* "Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father ; the one who accuses you is Moses , in whom you have set your hope .

* 46.
* "For if you believed Moses , you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.

* 47.
* "But if you do not believe his writings , how will you believe My words ?"
 
I need an unbiased testimony that any of that really happened.

Because it is the “Non-Catholic Religions” forum, not the Scriptural Apologetics, which is where you should repost this thread.

I know you’re right but I wanted to see how did the non-Catholics Christians interpreted the scriptures
 
exactly, how do these verses prove that Jesus is God?

I fell on the ice the other day, and I am a bit dazed.

For me, the fact that the apostles, who personally knew Jesus, were willing to undergo imprisonment, torture, and death for him is a good testimony. Jesus was gone from the scene but he had had such a major impact on them that they put their lives on the line. Paul, who had been against the Christians, had a vision and suddenly turned completely around and began preaching the same things as the apostles even though he hadn’t known Jesus when he was on earth. Paul also died for his belief in the person of Jesus as being the son of God.

This isn’t unbiased testimony, but someone who has encountered Jesus can’t be unbiased.
