The divinity of Jesus is a false doctrine that goes against the teachings of the Bible.

I will show that 1. Jesus claimed to be God 2. Those who followed or knew Jesus claimed He is God. Following are verses used to show that Jesus is/claimed to be God in flesh. The Scriptures used here are from the New American Standard Bible. John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:14, "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." Here the apostle John says the God came down in human flesh. John 5:18, "For this cause therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God." This verse here is a clear representation not only of how Jesus claimed to be God but that others knew what He was claiming. John 8:24, "I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am , you shall die in your sins." Note: In the Greek, "He" is not there. John 8:58, "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.' In these two verses Jesus is quoting Exodus when HE says to Moses Exodus 3:14, "And God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM'; and He said, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, "I AM has sent me to you." John 10:30-33, "I and the Father are one." 31 The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" 33 The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God." Col. 2:9, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form." Here Paul says Jesus contained His Deity in the form a man. Philippians 2:5-11 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Heb. 1:8, "But of the Son He says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom." Quoted from Psalm 45:6, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Thy kingdom." The most glaring fact of Jesus claiming deity is not so much He calling Himself "Son of God" (which can be used to refer to deity) but Jesus calls Himself "Son of Man" which in context is calling Himself God. Jesus refers to Himself as Son of Man almost 100 times in the gospels and He does so in quoting the Old testament account of Daniel. "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. (Daniel 7:13-14)" Daniel speaks of the "son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven..He was given authority, glory and sovereign power" With this in mind, consider these statements of Jesus in the New Testament Gospels: (Matthew 24:30) At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. (John 5:27) (ESV)For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. (Mark 13:24-27) (ESV) So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time. But in those days, following that distress, "the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken." At that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens. (Luke 21:27) At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (ESV) Jesus also believed the Son of Man, the Son of God, and the Messiah (Christ) were the same person. Not only did He claim to be all three separately, but in an interesting passage He responds in the affirmative to the Jewish leadership"s linking both Son of God and Christ, then adds Son of Man: Matthew 26:63-66The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God." "Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" "He is worthy of death," they answered. (Matthew 26:63-66) (ESV) Jesus understood the Son of Man to exist prior to His human birth: John 3:13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven,the Son of Man. (ESV) John 6:62 What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! (ESV) In summary, Jesus" favourite term to refer to Himself was "Son of Man." He understood the designation to refer to the divine Son of Man of Daniel 7 who would rule with glory and power. Moreover, He understood the Son of Man also to be the pre-existent Son of God and Messiah.(2) The argument and verses Pro gives do not necessarily go against the biblical teaching that Jesus is a part of the Godhead (trinity). All the verses Pro uses i actually agree with, that being God (Jesus) was NOT just a "man" in the truest sense of the word. To only give verses about how God is not a man ,shows the person who uses those verses doesn't understand what it meant when God came down to take on human form. Would you need to find verses that say "God is not a bush" because he did take form of one when talking to moses. Thats the problem when arguing from the point that God couldn't take the form of a man because you end up limiting God. Its interesting you would use Pauls words in Romans 1:22-23 to try and prove your point when Paul Himself believed Jesus was God. You have to understand that God was still God but just in human form, just like at the burning bush. Phil 2:5-11 Hosea 11:9 and Numbers 23:19 I agree with you that God is not man remember IN THE TRUEST SENSE OF THE WORD. He was God in Human form Phil 2:5-11 Im not going to argue Messiah or Christ cause thats pretty well known and taught that neither of those words means God. Ive personally never heard anyone say those words meant God. Using Colossians 1:15 to support your claim by trying to take "firstborn" to mean "first created" actually hurts your position than it does help it. there is a Greek word for "first created," and it was in use at the time of Paul's writing to the Colossians. He did not use it here. The Greek for "firstborn" is proto with tikto which would give us "firstborn" and that is what we find here in Colossians 1:15. The Greek for "first created" would be proto with ktizo, and it is not used here. Second, the Biblical use of the word "firstborn" is most interesting. It can mean the first born child in a family (Luke 2:7), but it can also mean "pre-eminence." In Psalm 89:20, 27 it says, "I have found David My servant; with My holy oil I have anointed him . . . I also shall make him My first-born," (NASB). As you can see, David, who was the last one born in his family, was called the firstborn by God. This is a title of preeminence. firstborn is also a title that is transferable: Gen. 41:51-52, "And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh: For, said he, God hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house. And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction." Jer. 31:9, " . . . for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn." Firstborn does not require a meaning of first created as the Jehovah's Witnesses say it means here. "Firstborn" can mean the first born person in a family, and it can also be a title of preeminence which is transferable. That is obvious since Jesus is God in flesh (John 1:1, 14) and is also the first born son of Mary. In addition, He is the pre-eminent one in all things. (1) (1)https://carm.org...
