Episode 3: Did Jesus Claim To Be God?
Did Jesus Think He Was God?! 🤯
Ever heard people say Jesus was just a good teacher or a cool prophet? 🤔 This episode dives into a HUGE question: did Jesus himself ever claim to be God? It’s a debate that’s been going on forever! We explore why you won’t find Jesus walking around saying “I am God, bow down!”, and look at the mind-blowing ways he might have hinted at his divine identity to his original Jewish audience who knew their scriptures inside and out. Get ready to unpack some seriously significant clues! 🕵️
We dig into the evidence, like when Jesus used God’s sacred name “I am” in a way that made people want to stone him 😬, and when he did stuff that everyone knew ONLY God could do, like forgiving sins! We also look at why it was a big deal that people worshipped him 🙏 and how even his enemies understood he was making crazy claims about being divine. We’ll even touch on why all this means Jesus couldn’t have just been a regular dude. So, buckle up and get ready to rethink everything! 🚀
