My Defense of Christianity.

[greneknight]

Actually there are several verses that confirm the Deity of Christ:
Peter affirms Jesus' deity: Mark 8:29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

No, in Jewish understanding, the Messiah or Christ is NEVER divine. It's a later Christian idea that the Messiah or Christ is divine.

Demons admit Jesus was God: Luke 4:41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

Same argument. Christ or messiah is never divine. The term "Son of God" is used in the OT and NOT ONCE is it used to denote divinity.

Jesus, Himself, said He was God: Mark 14:61-62 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Same point. You are wrong. Jesus did not claim to be God at all.
