Did Jesus deny being God ?Unknown author Wednesday, August 30, 2006 Dear brothers and sisters,
If I am standing in front of the IBM headquarters building, and a fellow employee unknowingly asked
Then I replied “This Building is NOT MY OWN, but it belongs to The ONE WHO EMPLOYEES
This would clarify to the person asking that I AM NOT THE OWNER, I am just one of the
Another Example is:
If I am at a gathering of people in a friend’s house, and a fellow guest unknowingly asked me, “Is this
This would clarify to the fellow guest that again, I am NOT THE OWNER of the house. Did Jesus make such statements regarding his status, the words, the will and the power he used ? WORDS

“And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.” [John 8:50] Some Christians, (not all) claim that Jesus _implied_ that he was God, from the above verses, we see that Jesus denied being God, it now leaves the Christians who believe Jesus is God to provide just one single verse in the Bible where Jesus says “I am God” there is no such verse, the God of Abraham in the Old Testament stated “I am God” over 200 times, yet oddly Jesus never uttered those three words once in the Gospel, so we see from the many quotes above, that the House did not belong to Jesus, it belonged to the One who Sent him.
Peace and Blessings,
