Is Jesus God? The SHOCKING Truth They Don’t Want You to Know!

Is Jesus God?

"Does this make him God?"

  • The video addresses the question of whether Jesus is God by referencing John 8:58, where Jesus says, "Before Abraham was, I am." This statement is analyzed to unveil its implications about His identity in relation to God.

  • The context of this verse is a discussion between Jesus and Jewish leaders who challenge His authority and identity. Jesus emphasizes his humble service to God and his obedience to God's will, suggesting He does not elevate Himself to the status of God in this context.

  • The host expresses surprise at discovering this deeper interpretation, realizing he had overlooked the context in which Jesus makes his claim.

Understanding the Definition of Messiah

"So the Messiah does not mean God; it's a figure chosen by God to fulfill a special role."

  • The video clarifies the definition of "Messiah," explaining that it refers to an anointed savior or liberator expected to fulfill divine prophecy, rather than implying divinity.

  • This distinction is significant as it reframes the discussion around Jesus's identity, asserting that His role is one of fulfillment of prophecy rather than asserting equality with God.

  • The participant grapples with this information, indicating a mindset shift regarding the traditional views of Jesus's nature as the Messiah.

Unity with God

"Jesus speaks of honoring God in his eternal role but not of being God himself."

  • In discussing John 10:30, where Jesus states, "I and the Father are one," the video posits that this expression illustrates unity in purpose rather than a declaration of being God.

  • The context surrounding this verse reveals that Jesus is explaining his divine mission while emphasizing his willingness to follow God's authority, thus underlining the relationship as one of harmony in divine purpose.

  • It also highlights that unity with God can be extended to others, implying that believers can share a spiritual connection with God without claiming divinity.
