Jesus was NOT God

I apologize that this was typed up super fast and this is not a full rebuttal. I may have a million spelling/grammar mistakes, but I ask my opponent to forgive me for it. "The instigator has called into question not just one, but two fundamental doctrines of Christianity. "Correct. I am not denying that some places in the Bible do teach Jesus' divinity. However, we can see through Jesus' admission, that he contradicts those "scripture. " That is the purpose of this debate.1. Only God is omniscient2. Jesus is omniscient3. Therefore, Jesus is Godyou are correct. But, you have to defend all three premises. I have shown that only God is omniscient, so I'll give you the 1st premises. Once you back up and give 100% support for p2, then I will give you all 3 premises. I accept the Instigator's definition of omniscience, which comes from the CARM website. However, since the Instigator seems to respect CARM's knowledge of Christian mattersI have the utmost respect for Matt Slick and carm. org. Matt Slick and I actually had a really nice conversation on the phone. I disagree with some of his teachings, but that is okay. Remember, I am not agreeing with 100% of what they are saying, I do, however, agree with the definitions of omniscience that carm. org gives. "Jesus was both God and man. He had two natures. He was divine and human at the same time. This teaching is known as the hypostatic union; that is, the coming-together of two natures in one person. Heb. 2:9 says that Jesus was '. . . made for a little while lower than the angels . . . " Also in Phil. 2:5-8, it says that Jesus "emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men . . . " Col. 2:9 says, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form. " Jesus was both God and man at the same time. As a man, Jesus cooperated with the limitations of being a man. That is why we have verses like Luke 2:52 that says "Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. " Therefore, at this point in his ministry he could say He did not know the day nor hour of His return. It is not a denial of His being God, but a confirmation of Him being man. " [1]We see that Jesus, in His humanity, did not embody other attributes of God, such as omnipresence. Jesus was a mortal man for some 33 years, subject to the same limitations that we are. It wasn't until after Jesus died and resurrected that He started exhibited His supernatural abilities (such as disappearing and reappearing at will), and He regained His omniscience. Jesus before the resurrection didn't know because He was a man; Jesus after the resurrection knew, because He was no longer limited by His human flesh. In a nutshell, my opponent asserts that Jesus was talking from his human nature and not his divine nature. This is now begging the question, “If Jesus did know when he would return, and said that he did not know, didn’t he lie? ” I’m interested in hearing my opponent’s response to that. Further Arguments I meant to add this argument in from round 2, but had no time. I also assert that Jesus was a false prophet. And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. Mark 9:30 Clearly those people are dead. Carm. org asserts that Jesus was talking about the destruction and persecution. However, if you read the previous verses, you clearly see that Jesus was talking about his return. Jesus falsely prophesies DIRECTLY to the high priest (Caiphas) that he would live to see his second coming. Jesus uses the term “coming on the clouds of heaven”. This clearly negates the “coming” as the resurrection but as a return to the earth on CLOUDS, not his return in human form from the dead. Matthew 26:64 & Mark 14:62. "But I tell you: From now on you will see 'the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power' and 'coming on the clouds of heaven. '" (Matthew 26:64 NAB) Then Jesus answered, "I am; and 'you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven. '" (Mark 14:62 NAB) Amen, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. (Matthew 23:36 NAB) "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. "Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, know that he is near, at the gates. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Matthew 24:29-35 NAB) John’s Predictions 8) John believes “the time is at hand,” and that the things that he writes about in Revelation will “shortly come to pass. ” Revelations 1:1-3 9) John quotes Jesus (1900 years ago) as saying he will come “quickly. ” Revelations 22:7, 12 & 20 10) John thinks he is living in “the last times. ” He “knows” this because he sees so many antichrists around. 1 John 2:18 11) John says that the antichrist was already present at the time 1 John was written. 1 John 4:3 12) John quotes Jesus (1900 years ago) as saying he will come “quickly. ” Revelations 3:11, 22:7, 12 & 20 Paul’s Predictions 13) Paul thought that the end was near and that Jesus would return soon after he wrote these words. Philippians 4:5 14) Paul believes he is living in the “last days. ” Hebrews 1:2 15) Paul believed that Jesus would come “in a little while, and will not tarry. ” Hebrews 10:37 16) In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 Paul stated: “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: And the dead Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: And so shall we ever be with the Lord. ” Paul shared the delusion, taught by Jesus, in that he expected to be snatched up bodily into heaven with other saints then living, who would, thus, never taste death. The use of “we” clearly proves as much. It is difficult to deny that Paul was certain that the end of the world was coming in the lifetime of his contemporaries. Other Prophecies About Armageddon: 17) James thought that Jesus would return soon. James 5:8 18) Peter wrongly believed that he was living in the “last times” and that “the end of all things is at hand. ” 1 Peter 1:20 & 4:7 I have the link to the source at the bottom of the page. I apologies for this horrific argument. I have been super busy with admin training and final exams. I admit that this was copied and paced, but I had very little time to revise it. Source below.
