Deity of Christ verses
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 10:21 pmThis thread is inspired by Ender's "Where does Jesus say He is God?" thread. I decided that I wanted to start a thread completely devoted to us posting passages and verses that reveal or imply the deity of Christ. I figured that we all disagree on a lot of things, but this is a topic that we can ALL agree upon with confidence.
Here are the rules:
You can't take a ton of verses that you've looked up from Biblegateway or something and post it in one gigantic chunk. I want everyone to have the opportunity to participate in this.
What we'll do is post a passage or verse that we may have come across a particular day in our reading of scripture that pertains to Christ's deity. If needed, the poster can also give an explanation of the verse.
The purpose of this thread is to not only unite us in at least one topic of our faith, but also to encourage everyone on here to be reading scripture more often. If all of us on here are on the constant look out everyday for verses like that in our Bible, think of the treasure trove we'll have created in this thread, full of these sorts of verses! We could also end up using this thread as a reference for backing up our claims that Christ is God should the opportunity ever come!
I'll do the first one as an example. Today I came across this passage:
This is God giving a prophecy through Zechariah. God Himself refers to Himself as "Me whom they pierced". We know that the Father was never pierced, and it seems rather odd to consider the Father as one who should be mourned for as an "only son". This is an obvious prophecy of Christ, and since God is the one speaking of Himself, that means Christ is God.

And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. - Zechariah 12:10
