scriptural support for the Diety of our Lord

[MyRdmrLvs]

When I tried to start a thread about whether belief in Christs deity was essential, it became a debate about what Gods word says.(which ruined my thread) . I was wanting to start a thread to collect scriptural support for the Deity of our Lord… or critisism of them. I will wait for contributions from others before I offer some that usually get overlooked. This thead is for those who Believe in the Bible as Gods word.

 

[Prodigal_Son1]

**Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word: and the Word was with God: and the Word was God.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.
Joh 1:15 John beareth witness of him and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me is preferred before me: because he was before me.

Joh 8:19 They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.

Joh 8:58 Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I AM.
Joh 8:59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

Joh 10:30 I and the Father are one.
Joh 10:31 The Jews then took up stones to stone him.
Joh 10:32 Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?
Joh 10:33 The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy: and because that thou. being a, man, makest thyself God.

Joh 10:38 But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in the Father.

Joh 12:45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.

Joh 14:8 Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father; and it is enough for us.
Joh 14:9 Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou: Shew us the Father?
Joh 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works.
Joh 14:11 Believe you not that I am in the Father and the Father in me?
Joh 14:12 Otherwise believe for the very works’ sake. Amen, amen, I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do: and greater than these shall he do.

Joh 20:28 Thomas answered and said to him: My Lord and my God.

Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally.

Act 20:28 Take heed to yourselves and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his, grace,

1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another: And the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Tit 2:13 Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.**

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.””

Got any more, MyRdmrLvs?

The late theologian Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P., in his Our Savior and His Love for Us, presents a nice summation of the Lord’s own claims to divinity:

1. Jesus accepted adoration (Matt. 8:2; 28:9; Mark 5:6), of which Peter, Paul, and Barnabas - and even the angels in the Apocalypse - declared themselves unworthy.

1. He is superior to all creatures: greater than Jonas, than Solomon, than David, than Moses, than Elias, than John the Baptist; and He is superior to the angels, who are “His angels” (Matt. 24:31).

1. He demands with regard to Himself, faith, obedience, and love, even to the abnegation of any contrary affection and to the sacrifice of one’s life.

1. He spoke as the supreme Lawgiver, in the Sermon on the Mount.

1. He performed miracles in His own name.

1. He claimed the power to remit sins and has conferred this power on others.

1. He claimed the power to judge the living and the dead of all human generations.

1. He promised to send the Holy ghost, and His promise was accomplished on Pentecost.

Jesus can claim these rights and powers only if He is not merely God’s envoy, the Messiah, but God Himself. He affirmed His Godhead only in a veiled manner in order to prepare souls little by little to receive a more explicit affirmation, which was to become increasingly clear and powerful up to the moment of His condemnation to death.
