Jesus was not the god of the Bible.

===>Rebuttel<===I would like to introduce my opponent to Gesenius (1786-1842), who is still regarded as one of the best authorities for Biblical Hebrew. Gesenius’ Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament (“long regarded as a standard work for students”), p. 49, shows thatelohim, ~yhla (“God/gods”) is sometimes used in a numerically plural sense for angels, judges, and false gods. But it also says:“The plural of majesty [for elohim], occurs, on the other hand, more than two thousand times.” And that elohim when used in that sense “occurs in a [numerically] singular sense” and is “constr[ued] with a verb ... and adjective in the singular.” Gesenius - Kautzsch’s Hebrew Grammar, 1949 ed., pp. 398, 399, says: “The pluralis excellentiae or maiestatis ... is properly a variety of the abstract plural, since it sums up the several characteristics belonging to the idea, besides possessing the secondary sense of an intensification of the original idea. It is thus closely related to the plurals of amplification .... So, especially Elohim ... ‘God’ (to be distinguished from the plural ‘gods’, Ex. 12:12, etc.) .... That the language has entirely rejected the idea of numerical plurality inElohim (whenever it denotes one God) is proved especially by its being almost invariably joined with a singular attribute.”This is over all evidence to disprove my opponent's claim.(Note: That since this is pertaining to the interpretation of the Bible. It is not breaking the rule.)Also, If you take a look close at the whole of the scriptures that Jesus never explicitly states that he is God. He could have easily ment someting else by that statement. It is also good to note that in English any word pertaining to God is capitalized and the word 'he' is not capitalized.===>Defense<===My opponnet states:Jesus was probably talking about the man part of him. Jesus purposely withheld this information from himself.This is claim is ubsurd since he would be God, he would have known everything and being human would have not restrained him since he also all-powerful.He says also: when people called him "Lord" (κυριος ) he would have rebuked them if he was not godYes and people also called David lord. Is he God? The term 'lord' ment master. Jesus was a teacher and supposedly brought the message of God. He also supposedly was given power to work miracles. He was their master, he just wasn't God.Contention 3: Jesus never explicitly says that he is God.In the whole of the Old Testament God spoke he explicitly said that he was God. For example here are some verses: Gen. 35:11-- And God said unto him, I [am] God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.Exd 16:12-- I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your God.Psa 46:10-- Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.Isa 45:3-- And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call [thee] by thy name, [am] the God of Israel.Now when you look at what Jesus says. He never really says explicitly that he is God. This proof that he was God.I will now await my opponnet's response.
