John V Wrote:One can be a spokesperson for God without these claims. Indeed, the prophets and apostles were all spokepersons, but none made this claim.
Another example:
Matt 16
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
And how does that make him divine? Aren't we all supposedly sons and daughters of your god? Sure, Jesus is supposed to be sent from the Father and hence he is the "Son", but so what? How does that show he is divine? He's still just a spokesperson for this new covenant.
