10 reasons Jesus is not God


10 reasons Jesus is not God


1. In the Gospel of Mark Chapter 8 says:

22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”
24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”
25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into the village.”

The story is about a blind man getting healed by Jesus.

The problem I have is: if Jesus is God incarnate in flesh, wouldn’t he know that the Blind man is healed already? Doesn’t God almighty know everything? How can Jesus mess up the healing and make him see people: they look like trees walking? Why does he have to perform the miracle again for the guy to see?



2. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (Mathew 28:18)

6 “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. (John 17:6-8)



All authority has been "GIVEN" to Jesus by the Father (God)? How can Jesus be "God" if he was "GIVEN" this authority? So before Jesus was "GIVEN" this "authority", what was he? He was a no body. What kind of God was he before he was “GIVEN” all this authority? If Jesus is co equal with the Father (God), why would Jesus need the Father to give him the authority if he is God himself?



3. Jesus Is Tempted
The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert. There the devil tempted him (Jesus). 2 After 40 days and 40 nights of going without eating, Jesus was hungry.
3 The tempter came to him. He said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
8 Finally, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain. He showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 “If you bow down and worship me,” he said, “I will give you all of this.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Get away from me, Satan! It is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God. He is the only one you should serve.’” 11 Then the devil left Jesus. Angels came and took care of him. (Mathew 4:1-11)

Can you ever think or come to your mind for 1 second that God gets tempted by the devil to do evil? It says in:

James 1:13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.

So there you have it, God cannot be tempted to do evil and Jesus (pbuh) was tempted to do evil.

It says in verse 8: Finally, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain. He showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 “If you bow down and worship me,” he said, “I will give you all of this.”
Can you imagine God almighty that created the heavens and the earth, the beautiful sky the earth, the mountains, trees, beautiful animals the sea. Yet devil says, I will give you all this, if you worship me? Isn’t it clear that that Jesus is not GOD? The reason the devil said these things, because he knew Jesus was not God but a prophet of God.

Jesus said lastly: "Worship the Lord your God". He is the only one you should serve.’ Jesus made it clear that the only person that should be worshipped is God alone and no one else.




4. 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. John 14:28

Jesus clearly said that the Father (God) is greater than him. Christians will argue and say: that this means that the Father is greater than Jesus in authority but not in essence. But this contradicts Matthew 28:18 where Jesus says all authority is given by the father to him. Another thing to note is, if they are all co equal as Christians say, how can 1 be greater than the other?


5. I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. John 5:30

Jesus (pbuh) here says it clearly that everything he does, the miracles, forgiving sin, is not from him but from God almighty. He does everything by the will of God.
If Jesus was God why couldn’t he do whatever he wanted, if he is God, why does he need to listen to the Father (God) to be granted permission?



6. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine. (Mathew 7:28)
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. (Mark 1:22)
Jesus answered them, and said the following: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. He means God almighty. (John 7:16)
So as you see it is clear that Jesus (pbuh) was a prophet of God almighty. The doctrine was teaching, which is the Gospel, is not his, but it belongs to the one who sent him, in other words God. If he was God, wouldn’t he be saying this Gospel is my own words, I am God?




7. You won’t find 1 verse in the whole Bible where Jesus says “I am God”. Why is that? If Jesus is God, why would he not declare that he is God? Is he shy to say he is God? I mean there are so many verses in the Old Testament where he makes himself clear that he is God, why hasn’t he once said he is God? Can I call someone King if he never declared himself to be a King? I am going to show 10 verses where God says he is God in Old Testament:

(A) Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. (Isaiah 46:9)

(B) Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me. (Hosea 13:4)

(C) I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me. Isaiah 45:5)

(D) And God said to him, "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants. (Genesis 35:11)

(E) "I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, 'At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.'" (Exodus 16:12)

(F) "I am God, the God of your father," he said. "Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. (Genesis 46:3)

(G) "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? (Jeremiah 32:27)

(H) And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.(Ezekiel 23:49)

(I) Keep my Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God." (Ezekiel 20:20)

(J) "So My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will have no place in the council of My people, nor will they be written down in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel, that you may know that I am the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 13:9)





8. As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. (Mark 10:17-18)


In this above verse a man runs up to Jesus and says “Good teacher” Jesus replies back and says “why do you call me good”? Jesus answered him and said “no one is good except God alone”. If he was really God, why would he differentiate himself, why would he say God ALONE is good? He is making himself clear that God alone is perfect and no one else, not even himself.





9. "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

All believers know and believe that God almighty knows everything single thing. If Jesus is really God incarnate in flesh, how come he does not know the day of judgement when it will occur? So here we see the Jesus doesn’t know of the hour. The Angels don’t know of the hour and the Holy Spirit does not know of the hour as well. Yet we have Christians claiming that Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God and they are all co equal. If they are all co equal, how come the son does not know of the hour or the Holy Spirit??




10. Jesus bowing down and worshipping God:

(A) Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” (Mathew 26:39)

(B) He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.” (Mathew 26:42)

(C) Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. (Mark 1:35)

(D) They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” (Mark 14:32)

(E) Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. (Mark 14:35)

(F) One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. (Luke 6:12)

(G) He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed. (Luke 22:41)

(H) And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. (Luke 22:44)

Isn’t it logical for you to pray to the creator who Jesus worshipped?
Jesus says: But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23)

Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'" (Mathew 4:10)

If Jesus said worship GOD ONLY, why do people worship Jesus?

Brothers and sisters in humanity come back to the truth and worship God alone and nobody else. Listen to Jesus (pbuh)’s teachings worship your Lord and his Lord.
