WHY DID JESUS NOT OPENLY REVEAL HIS FULL IDENTITY?

By Richard P Bailey

Some people ask, “If Jesus is God, as you Christians claim, why didn’t he say so clearly?”  Others say, “Show me one place in the Bible where Jesus said, ‘I am God’ and I will believe it.”  Still others believe that the Bible does not say Jesus is God, but over zealous Christians have simply exaggerated things to the point of deifying him.

It does seem strange that Jesus appeared to hide himself and avoid public exposure as much as possible. Even his own family found his behavior strange, since they assumed he was trying to become a famous “public figure”:

Why God Became Man

The Incarnation of Jesus Christ

The word incarnation does not occur in the Bible. It is derived from the Latin in and caro (flesh), meaning clothed in flesh, the act of assuming flesh. Its only use in theology is in reference to that gracious, voluntary act of the Son of God in which He assumed a human body. In Christian doctrine the Incarnation, briefly stated, is that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became a man. It is one of the greatest events to occur in the history of the universe. It is without parallel.

"How should I witness to a homosexual?"

Rather than offend homosexuals by directly confronting the issue of their sinful lifestyle, modern evangelism often tries to soften the approach by saying that "God hates the sin, but loves the sinner." This isn’t a new concept.

EZEKIEL 23
Deedat acuses the Bible of being a pornographic book because of such passages as Ezekiel 23.
It is only ignorance of the inspired scriptures that results in such outrageous claim.

101 sceintific evidence BIBLE

1.
The earth free-floats in space (Job 26:7), affected only by gravity. While other sources declared the earth sat on the back of an elephant or turtle, or was held up by Atlas, the Bible alone states what we now know to be true – “He hangs the earth on nothing.”

Trinity , Definition of God

Definition of God

I. Unchangeable Qualities of God: Creator, not creature

1. God is not a creature and never had a beginning point, being eternal: Deut 33:27; Isa 9:6; 1 Tim 1:17; Isa 44:6
2. Jesus is called the creator in Jn 1:3; Col 1:16; Heb 1:10-12
3. Rom 1:25 pagans are condemned because they "worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator". This proves Jesus is not a creature, for Jehovah's Witnesses have Jesus on both sides being a creature himself, as well as being the creator of man. Rom 1:25 refutes this contradictory false doctrine that Jesus is a creature.
4. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit share the quality of eternal pre-existence with each other equally.
5. No angel, devil, demon or man have ever, or will ever possess this quality. It is absolutely unique to God

THE HISTORICAL EVIDENCE

Did Jesus Christ ever really exist?

Was He really God?

Did He rise from the Dead?

Let me start with a short story.

I'd been good natured-ly putting up with a fellow engineer who had been teasing me about

being a Christian. So seeing the opportunity to witness to him, I asked him if he knew why I

was a Christian. He said, "because you believe it."

JESUS IS GOD ....Jesus Himself is the one who makes this claim, over and over.

The Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsa^a) is one of the original seven Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in Qumran in 1947. It is the largest (734 cm) and best preserved of all the biblical scrolls, and the only one that is almost complete. The 54 columns contain all 66 chapters of the Hebrew version of the biblical Book of Isaiah. Dating from ca. 125 BCE, it is also one of the oldest of the Dead Sea Scrolls, some one thousand years older than the oldest manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible known to us before the scrolls' discovery.
