According to the Bible (Old and New Testament), Jesus is God

I would like to formally thank Con for acceptance of the debate, and apologize within the debate for my error in regards to the round structure. I do not know how that occurred, but I hope to avoid it in the future. Observers of the debate should note the rule change found within the first comment in the comments section. My position is that Jesus is God in accordance with the Bible (Old and New Testament). Without further delay, here is my case: (1) The New Testament claims Jesus saved a people out of the land of Egypt. “Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed those who did not believe” (Jude 1:5, ESV). (2) The reference to rescuing Israel from Egypt is one found throughout all of the Bible beginning with the event itself known at the Exodus. Not only is this event repeated throughout scripture and celebrated through the Passover, it is what brings about the initiation of the Mosaic covenant. The people of Israel are told over and over again to remember being brought out of Egypt. This narrative is nearly common knowledge among atheists, agnostics, Muslims, Jews and Christians alike as we know well the story of the parting sea as Israel escaped Egypt. Despite the observation that many know of this event, some examples, out of many, are provided to confirm this biblical narrative: Exodus 13:3(a), “Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt.” Exodus 34:18, “You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.” Judges, “but when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.” 2 Samuel 7:6, “I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent for my dwelling.” (3) God, the LORD, is the one who brought the people out of Egypt. In this narrative, we know that God sends plagues to Egypt in order to accomplish this task. It is repeated that God brought the people out of Egypt lest the people forget and abandon their covenant with God. For the sake of avoiding confusion, it should be acknowledged that the word “LORD” (in all capitals) always signifies God in the biblical text. Here is the entire verse of Exodus 13:3, “Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for by a strong hand the LORD brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.” There are roughly 95 verses in the Bible signifying that the “LORD” brought people out of Egypt. Here are some: Deuteronomy 20:1, "When you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.” Deuteronomy 24:9, “Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam on the way as you came out of Egypt.” Deuteronomy 26:8, “And the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great deeds of terror, with signs and wonders.” Deuteronomy 29:25, “Then people will say, 'It is because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,” Joshua 24:17, “for it is the LORD our God who brought us and our fathers up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and who did those great signs in our sight and preserved us in all the way that we went, and among all the peoples through whom we passed.” Judges 2:12 (a), “And they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt.” (4) Jesus is God(a) We are told that Jesus is the one who brought the people out of Egypt, “Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed those who did not believe” (Jude 1:5, ESV). (b) And it is common knowledge at this point in the biblical narrative that God is the one who brought the people out of Egypt. (c) Therefore, Jesus is GodAdditionally: The readers of Jude would have understood this to be the case given that they were primarily Jews and knew well the story of the Exodus and celebrated it every year.Conclusion: I look forward to Con’s case and a fruitful, and edifying, debate.
