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.

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

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…

Interesting double-standard there, Muslim…

I’ll tell you, after you show me where Mohammed claims to be a prophet. Not some hearsay that his companions jotted down of course… I want it straight from the horse’s mouth. :rolleyes:
 
Here’s the other interesting double-standard. You say the gospels are unreliable sources for us to quote as evidence of Jesus being God… And yet you apparently have no problem with citing verses (which you don’t understand anyway) from these very gospels yourself.

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 ???

Hi lightofeyes,
The Lord God Jesus did not object to the healed blind man from worshipping Him.

Look at ( John 9:38) “And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.”

Sorry, but those exact words were not spoken by Jesus. So no one will be able to show you those exact words. He did not say those exact words because He had His redemptive mission to accomplish and He knew what would happen if He spoke those exact words to the Jews. Besides, let’s get real, someone walks up to you and says “I am God, worship me”, who would believe you? No one, and back in those days it would mean instant stoning. No, Jesus had to *show *He was God…not just say He was God. And that is just what he did.
But there are many verses which indicate Jesus is God. “I and the Father are one” is pretty powerful. Then there’s the time Jesus said to Satan, who was tempting Him “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God” in reference to Himself. But here is more, much more.

John 10:30-33
30 I and the Father are one."
31 The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?”
33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God.”

You cannot show me any “verses” … none that were written by Mo himself, that is. He was supposedly unable to write, remember? But according to your gross double-standard this is the only thing that would be sufficient proof of anything he ever said.

The answer to your question is that Jesus never utters that exact phrase. By your own convoluted logic, I guess you think that must prove something.
 
Where in the Bible does Jesus Say “I am God…”
Exodus 3:14 God replied, “I AM who am.” Then he added, “This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I AM sent me to you.”
John 8:58-59 Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM.” So they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid and went out of the temple area.

Luke 5:20-26 When he saw their faith, he said, "As for you, your sins are forgiven."Then the scribes and Pharisees began to ask themselves, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who but God alone can forgive sins?” Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them in reply, "What are you thinking in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins’’–he said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home.” He stood up immediately before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God. Then astonishment seized them all and they glorified God, and, struck with awe, they said, “We have seen incredible things today.”

John 18:3-8 So Judas got a band of soldiers and guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen to him, went out and said to them, “Whom are you looking for?” They answered him, “Jesus the Nazorean.” He said to them, “I AM.” Judas his betrayer was also with them. When he said to them, “I AM,” they turned away and fell to the ground. So he again asked them, “Whom are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus the Nazorean.” Jesus answered, “I told you that I AM. So if you are looking for me, let these men go.”

Mark 14:60-64 The high priest rose before the assembly and questioned Jesus, saying, “Have you no answer? What are these men testifying against you?” But he was silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, “Are you the Messiah, the son of the Blessed One?” Then Jesus answered, “I AM; and ‘you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.’” At that the high priest tore his garments and said, “What further need have we of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” They all condemned him as deserving to die.
 
Nice replies, people… but the OP is only trying to set up a red herring here by asking for the exact phrase. His lack of objectivity should be quite obvious from his self-proclaimed exclusive right to quote the gospels. 😃

Gospels that he otherwise doesn’t trust as accurate manuscripts 😉
 
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…

You’ve hit the nail right on the head.

Look at all of the grief Jesus recieved for reluctantly saying “I Am.” (Mark 14:60-64) Consider what would’ve happened if he began yelling, “I am the God of the universe! Bow to me!” It would not have been good. 😃

Verses were given to you. You did not read them.

There is no peace in Islam: where Churches once stood, now mosques have usurped their sites (Hagia Sophia, for example). Peace to Islam is when everyone believes whatever the current Ayotollah or Imam says is Islamic law.

Pax Christi

Well you asked where does the Bible contain a particular phrase you invent.

However, what could be more clearer than the following…

They are one
I John 5:7

“There are those that bear record in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one”

Philippians 2:5-7 “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing.”

Jesus said in John 10:38
But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

They are of one accord
John 5:21
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.

Jesus is equal to God
Colossians 1:19
“For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him”

Jesus has the power and wisdom of God
1 Cor 1:24
“…Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”

Jesus is eternal like God
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Jesus Himself commanded
Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

In this passage, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are said to share one name (notice that the term “name” is singular, not plural), and that name is almost certainly Yahweh, the personal name of God in the Bible. We know this because the name Yahweh is applied to both the Father and the Son in the New Testament.

Peter tells us, “David did not ascend into the heavens; but he himself says, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make your enemies a stool for your feet.’ Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified” (Acts 2:34–36). Here God is “the Lord” who speaks to “my Lord,” Jesus. When one looks at the Old Testament quotation, one finds, “Yahweh says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool’” (Ps. 110:1); so here the Father is called Yahweh.

In Philippians 2:10–11, we read: “[A]t the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” This is a reference to Isaiah 45:18–24, which tells us: “I, Yahweh, speak the truth . . . I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn. . . . To me every knee shall bow, every tongue confess. ‘Only in Yahweh,’ it shall be said of me, ‘are righteousness and strength.’ “ Here Paul applies the prophecy of every knee bending and every tongue confessing to Jesus, resulting in the prophecy that they will “confess that Jesus Christ is Yahweh.” The stress on Christ as God is also picked up by the early Church Fathers (e.g., Ignatius, below).

con’t…
 
Jesus himself declares that he is Yahweh (“I AM,” in English translation). In John 8:58, when questioned about how he has special knowledge of Abraham, Jesus replies, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” His audience understood exactly who he was claiming to be. “So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple” (John 8:59).

With the personal name of God, Yahweh, being applied to both the Father and the Son, it is almost certainly applied to the Spirit, and thus to all three members of the Trinity.

The parallelism of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is not unique to Matthew’s Gospel, but appears elsewhere in the New Testament (e.g., 2 Cor. 13:14, Heb. 9:14), as well as in the writings of the earliest Christians, who clearly understood them in the sense that we do today—that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are three divine persons who are one divine being (God).

But then you don’t believe the Bible is accurate, anyway :confused:

Christians are called upon to worship God. Moslems call a created being god, and then worship it.

Anyone notice how similar this is to Fundamentalist (Protestant) red herring tactics? Stack the deck; narrow parameters of what constitutes legitmate evidence, excluding other perfectly sound indications, etc… Embarassing…

If you take the Bible out of the life of the church one can come up with any number of absurd interpretations…

There’s no direct condemnation by Jesus of incest between consenting adults (within marriage), therefore he must have been in favour of it.

Jesus IS God - he IS ONE with the Father, which is something he DID say in EXACTLY those words. So if Jesus is one with the Father, then EVERY time he says to worship the Father, which he did many times, he is saying for us to worship him as well. 😃
