The Bible Says Jesus Is Not God - (Shocking Evidence)

Summary

This video explores the question of Jesus' divinity, arguing that Jesus cannot be God based on several biblical examples. It critiques the doctrine of the Trinity, highlighting contradictions and inconsistencies such as Jesus' lack of knowledge and his human nature. The video also points to Jesus' affirmation of monotheism in his teachings, suggesting that Jesus' message is consistent with the monotheistic views of earlier prophets. Finally, the video introduces the Islamic perspective, emphasizing Jesus as a prophet and messenger of God, distinct from the divine, and urges a clear understanding of God’s nature based on the Quran.

Takeaways

• 😀 Jesus is one of the most significant yet misunderstood figures in history, and his nature as either God, man, or both is heavily debated.
• 😀 The doctrine of the Trinity states that God exists as one being in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• 😀 The concept of the Incarnation teaches that God the Son took on human flesh in the form of Jesus, but this belief contradicts Biblical teachings about God's eternal, unchanging nature.
• 😀 God's perfection and eternity mean that he cannot change; therefore, the idea of God becoming flesh through Jesus raises logical contradictions.
• 😀 The New Testament incident with Jesus cursing the fig tree challenges the claim that Jesus is fully God, as he appeared unaware of the season for figs, indicating a lack of omniscience.
• 😀 The New Testament also emphasizes that neither Jesus nor the Holy Spirit knows the hour of the end times, further questioning their equality with the Father in knowledge.
• 😀 Jesus' interaction with a Jewish teacher of the law affirms a strictly monotheistic view of God, rejecting the idea of a Trinity.
• 😀 When Jesus identifies the Father as the 'only true God,' he excludes himself, reinforcing a view of God as singular and not a Trinity.
• 😀 The Quran presents a clear, monotheistic view of God and Jesus, rejecting the concept of the Trinity and declaring Jesus to be a prophet and messenger of God, not divine.
• 😀 Islam, in contrast to Christianity, offers clarity on the nature of God and Jesus, with a consistent message from the earlier prophets through the teachings of the Quran.

Q & A

What is the main argument presented in the script regarding the nature of Jesus?

The main argument in the script is that Jesus, while being an important figure in history, cannot be considered fully divine, as the Bible presents Jesus as lacking essential divine attributes such as omniscience and being unchanging, which contradicts the doctrine of the Trinity.

How does the doctrine of the Trinity define God?

The doctrine of the Trinity defines God as one being who exists eternally as three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each person is said to be fully God, but Trinitarians believe they are not three separate gods but one God.

What is the issue with the claim that God became flesh, as per the script?

The script argues that the claim that God became flesh contradicts the Bible's definition of God's nature as eternal and unchanging. The idea that God would take on a human nature implies a change, which challenges the belief that God cannot change.

Why does the script argue that the incident with Jesus and the fig tree contradicts the claim of Jesus being fully divine?

The script suggests that the fig tree incident shows Jesus' limited knowledge, as he did not know it was not the season for figs. Since God is all-knowing, this presents a problem for the claim that Jesus is fully divine.

How do Trinitarians explain Jesus' limited knowledge, and why does the script find this explanation problematic?

Trinitarians argue that Jesus' limited knowledge was due to his human nature, while his divine nature remained unchanged. However, the script finds this explanation problematic because it implies that the divine nature could act on the human nature's mistakes, which challenges the concept of a perfect and unchanging God.

What does the script say about the co-equality of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

The script argues that the co-equality of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a central tenet of the Trinity, is false, based on the biblical evidence that Jesus and the Holy Spirit lack knowledge that only the Father possesses.

How does Jesus’ statement about the greatest commandment challenge the Trinitarian view of God?

Jesus' statement about the greatest commandment, where he quotes the Shema from the Old Testament affirming that God is one, challenges the Trinitarian view by reinforcing the Jewish monotheistic understanding of God, rather than a Trinitarian interpretation.

What is the significance of Jesus calling the Father 'the only true God' in his prayer?

By referring to the Father as 'the only true God' in his prayer, Jesus excludes himself from being God, reinforcing the script’s argument that Jesus understood God as a singular, monotheistic entity, not part of a Trinity.

How does the script challenge the idea that the doctrine of the Trinity was revealed after previous prophets?

The script questions the idea that God would suddenly reveal a radically different understanding of his nature—namely the Trinity—after centuries of consistent monotheism preached by earlier prophets like Abraham and Moses.

What is Islam’s position on Jesus, and how does it differ from Christian views as presented in the script?

Islam sees Jesus as a prophet, messenger, and the Messiah, but not divine. The script emphasizes that Islam rejects the concept of the Trinity and teaches that God is one, with Jesus being a servant of God, unlike the Christian view where Jesus is considered part of the divine Trinity.
