Where in the Bible does Jesus say I am god Worship me?

[paarsurrey]

I got your recommended website and quite disappointed that the article was written as a summary rather than the original article. Even it was not a good summary because just pointed out the opinion of the writer, without any explanation of how and why he came into that conclusion. Sorry for being off topic.

Hi

The writer is a famous researcher and a Christian, he teaches Christainity as I understand to the Christian priests. Please search in the Google for his name, there is a full page on him. If you don’t find it, I have got it with me. Please send me your e-mail address to enable me send it to you. It consists of more than 100 pages, a detailed article.

He is a man of advanced age, though I have not met him, he is a nice person. I don’t say that you should follow him verbatum but I think you would have many original points from him and in peaceful tone, later you may form your own opinion, the way you like.

Thanks

I can show you many verses, But you did not answer my question.Where in the Bible does Jesus say I am god Worship me ???

He rejected such conceit when He was tempted by satan. He speaks from His human nature. He came to do the Father’s will, not His own. His words are those of the Father, not his. He is one part of the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Jesus is not conceited, but rather humble. People fell at His feet and worshipped Him without Him asking or demanding. They did that out of what they saw and believed, not some childish demand to be worshipped - Herod made such childish, insecure demands.

No, He does not demand to be worshipped, but He answered your question almost 2,000 years ago:

Matthew 26:63-64 (New International Version) But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” “Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

John 1:1 The Word Became Flesh
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 20:28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

John 10:30 “I and the Father are one.”

Colossians 2:9-10 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.

John 14:9 Jesus answered: "Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

1 John 5:20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true—even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

John 5:18 For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

John 5:23 “that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him”.

Matthew 1:21-23 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel (God with us).

God told His name to Moses:

Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, "I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ "

See how Christ used the Father’s name:

John 8:58 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Ibrahim* was born, I am!” (*Abraham) See: lexicorient.com/e.o/abraham.htm

John 18:4-6 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. Point: Why did they, being armed, fall to the ground when Jesus said “I am”??? That is the Eternal God’s name.

My brother in the One God, please allow us to reveal the reasons for our faith to you, who do not currently believe.

Where does he say “I am not God, If you worship me you are wrong. Please do not follow me for I am a man and just a prophet?”

Where in the Bible does Jesus Say “I am god worship me”
Actually he objected people worshipping him so where is the authority to say Jesus was GOD.I am not talking about what Paul, Matthew,mark, luke and John said I want it from the horses mouth.

There are loads more verses where Jesus is Showing that he is not god and not to be worshipped.
So where Did JESUS say he was GOD

Peace…

Here Jesus said He is God.
Exodus 3:14 - God says “I AM who I AM”. John 8:58 - Jesus says “Before Abraham was, I AM” in reference to Himself. For more verses, link has been given earlier on.

Biblical name for God as revealed to Moses is I AM. Hebrews knew this and when Jesus called himself I AM there was no misunderstanding in His Jewish audience.

Jesus called himself I AM. He did not imply that He is God. It is an explicit statement.

Your question, I suppose, is dictated from an Islam’s context.
As a show of sincerity you should acknowledge those Biblical verses that the posters here have given you. You may not believe those verses but you cannot say that Jesus divinity is not taught in the Bible, because it is being referred to all over the place.

The Bible also reminds us that we are sometimes blind and deaf from the truth. “… They have eyes yet do not see, have ears and yet do not hear”. So let ponder on those Biblical verses and see whether they make any sense to you.

Hence if Jesus is God, He is therefore worthy to be worshipped. However, Christianity God does not force people to worship Him. Does this differ from the Islamic God? Worship of God is to be in spirit and in truth. Sincere and truthful worship from the heart is pleasing to God, but not false worship.

God does not command us to pray five times a day like a robot. We worship because we want to and know the reasons why we do. We are thankful to Him because of His love for us which we experience especially in the person of Jesus. Jesus is worthy to be worshipped because He is God. Even before the foundation of the world, He was there, and is, and is to come.

Hope this help.

Shalom.

For more accurate teachings on Christianity it is better to refer to the early church fathers, the Magestrium and the Cathechism of the Catholic Church. If you must learn, get it from the original sources.

If you learn from other personalities, refer their teachings to the above for verification especially when they differ. Problem you may not know when they differ. Therefore get your elementary right first. The Cathechism is a good place to start.

Luke 17:12-19 As he was entering a village, ten lepers met (him). They stood at a distance from him and raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, "Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?" Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you."

Thank you. I don’t think anyone mentioned this one either.

Luke 8:39 The man from whom the demons had come out begged to remain with him, but he sent him away, saying, “Return home and recount what God has done for you.” The man went off and proclaimed throughout the whole town what Jesus had done for him.

Peace,

The reverend Professor David Jenkins Bishop of Durham even openly said that Jesus was not GOD.

Oh … well, that settles it folks. If the reverend professor David Jenkins Bishop of Durham says it, we might as well close up shop.

Jesus did not always object.

Matt. 8:2 And then a leper approached, did him homage, and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.”

Matt. 14:33 Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, “Truly, you are the Son of God.”

Matt. 28:9 And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage.

Matt. 28:17 When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.

Mark 5:6 Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran up and prostrated himself before him

Hello all, especially our Muslim visitors.

Today, certain phrases are used that had no meaning even 10 years ago. My favorite my son came home with was: “All that and a bag of Doritos”. To the uninformed, that means that girl is very cute. Another example from weight lifting is to say someone is “cut”. That means they have excellent definition and low body fat.

Ok, going back some 2000, I am sure that certain expressions and ways of saying certain things carried more weight and had more meaning than the way be say things today.

As the cultures of then were more interested in “Who’s your Daddy”, I humbly submit that Jesus, in his numerous accounts of saying He and the Father were One mean much more to the audience at that time than they do to us now.

Further the miracles accomplished by Jesus are further evidence that by changing water into wine (alchemy and a chemical impossibility), making a man blind since birth to see, (a medical impossibility), cursing and withering a fig tree, (a physical impossibilty), stopping a storm and curing leprosy, all of these miracles actually going against the laws of nature, showed pretty clearly that Jesus was above the laws of nature. And that alone speaks to His authority “As God”.

Three days after his consecration as bishop on 6 July 1984, York Minster was struck by lightning, resulting in a disastrous fire, which some interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure at Jenkin’s appointment.[2]

As Bishop, Jenkins was known for his willingness to speak his mind. After leaving office in 1994, he continued to voice his opinions, such as in a BBC interview in 2003.[3] In 2005, he became one of the first clergymen in the Church of England to bless a civil partnership between two homosexual men, one of whom was a vicar.

In 2006, Jenkins was banned from preaching in some of his local churches after swearing in a sermon.[2]

 

[ralphinal]

I would like to point out that the Matt 15:9 quote is part of a longer passage where Jesus was quoting Isaiah about the Jewish people worshipping GOD. Please remove this one from the list of arguments against Jesus being God.

That Bishop was one of the first Anglicans ot bless a same sex marriage and has gotten in trouble for heterodox preaching. Again, please remove him from your list of acceptable proofs.

Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

8:54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

Mt 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Mt 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? GOD does not do this man does

Mr 12:26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

Mr 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Mr 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

There are loads more verses where Jesus is Showing that he is not god and not to be worshipped.
So where Did JESUS say he was GOD

Peace…

I have no intention of converting to Islam nor are you willing to convert…I would rather die than forsake Christianity…so what is your point? apparently we both have strong spiritual faith and in the end God will be our judge…not any man! peace be with you.

Lightofeye’s reference to Jenkins is equivalent to using Rushdie as reference to refute Islam teaching. No wonder logical thinking has no place in Islam.

Thanks for everybody who shared in this thread but you guys have not given verses where Jesus explicitly say that I am God worship me.

Accordingly in the Day of Judgment after we die he will not ask us why we did not workshop him because simply he did not say worship me.

While Allah will ask you why you did not worship me despite he clearly ordered to worship him in many verses in Quran.

The conclusion is that Jesus was no more than prophet brought the monotheism which all previous prophets taught.
Allah is the one who deserve to worship him without any partner.

Peace…

Mt 16:13-20

Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and
he asked his disciples,
“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah,
still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter said in reply,
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus said to him in reply,
“Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah.
For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.
And so I say to you, you are Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church,
and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.
I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.
Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven;
and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Then he strictly ordered his disciples
to tell no one that he was the Christ.

How is that one insists that Jesus should have spoken exactly the way one would like. like I am God worship me"

Why did not Mo say–I am prophet ,so come and sit around me.

Sufficient quotes have been given by the writers here to prove the divinity of Jesus.
