It's like saying, "Why do you call me one who raises people from the dead? Only God raises from the dead." And all the while we know Jesus did raise people from the dead. The Jews culturally spoke this way in Jesus' day--it was their way of equating themselves to something. Historians actually consider this line a claim of the divinity, because by all accounts Jesus was good, and therefore he is God.
If you want an even clearer declaration, read John 10:24-38.
Hey, look at that, you've reinterpreted that quote to say what you want it to, surprise surprise. This is supposed to be an argument against my statement? Seems like pretty solid support to me.
Would you like to present some evidence that Jesus existed, before you go blathering on about what we know he did? Historians? You must have meant Apologists.
Butterscotch is good, therefore candy is God.
