The God Man!   PROOF TEXTS REVEALING DIVINE ATTRIBUTES OF CHRIST   He received worship (Matt. 2:8-11; 28:9,17) He is omnipresent (Matt. 18:20) He is immutable (Heb. 13:8) He performed miracles (Mark 6:56) He forgives sin (Mt. 9:2; Lk. 7:48; Jn. 8:11) He creates (Col. 1:16-17) He is eternal (Jn. 17:5,24)     PROOF TEXTS REVEALING DEITY OF CHRIST   “…Shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.” (Acts 20:28b)   “But to the Son He says: Your throne, O God is forever and ever…”(Heb. 1:8a)   “For in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily.” (Col. 2:9)   “…According to the commandment of God our Savior.” (Tit. 1:3b)   “Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” (Tit. 2:13)   “To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Pet. 1:1b)   “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)   καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος. John 1:1 verses JW’s “And the Word was a God.” NWT   (TIM, Put the remarks below on a separate slide from the one above) We would have to translate John 1:6, “There came a man who was sent from a God.” We would have to translate Jn. 1:12, “He gave the right to become Children of a God.” We would have to translate Jn. 1:13, “who were born of a God.” We would have to translate John 1:18, “No one has ever seen a God.”   “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” (John 8:58)   “I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30)   “And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28)   “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with a man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse.” Then Lewis adds: “You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”  (C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, 40-41)
