Just when I believed...

You believed that Jesus said he was a God?

Here are 2 of 2038 verses I picked out of a hat
1 Timothy 3:16 - And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.
Titus 2:13 - looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ

reads em both
I still don't see where Jesus claimed to be God. I see others calling him that, but not the self proclamation.

There are many places where he does... For example John 8:54-59 he's arguing with the religious leaders of the day and concludes with..."Very truly I tell you," Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!" At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
This is a reference to Exodus 3:14..."Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them? God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.'
So that's why they picked up stones to stone him. For the blasphemy. In this way and in many other ways he claims to be God.

do you know where he directly claims that he is god or the son of god? the above example is somewhat indirect.

Yeah I looked up Mark 14:60-62 which is Jesus' trial before the council of the day but I believe the same is also present in the other Gospels when describing the same events
Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Right on. It's been so long since I've read the bible, I honestly couldn't recall if he actually made that claim or not. Thanks for providing an example, it's appreciated.
1
I think that's actually a reference to Melchizedek who is a bizarre figure in the bible, mentioned twice in the Old Testament. Some consider him to be immortal, as every other person mentioned in Genesis to that point has a long genealogy.
1
I dunno. I searched Bible Garetway for Melchizedek and I didn't see anything with that language in it.

Fuck, this meme is back from the dead.

Its second coming

When somebody asks if you're a god you say yes!

This is great but it could stand to be refined. The bottom text needs to have a black border, or be all black, so that it's readable. Also the fucking hat part of these memes is unintelligible to people who don't frequent reddit.
This really is a great one though.

Promises to pay for the sins of man. Men still burn in hell for their sins.

where?

Looks like a 19th century American fur trapper instead of a 1st century Galilean Jew.
Anyway, he was only dead for less than 3 days, then respawned.
1
Network lag?

What's the background of this internet meme?
1
Google mormon jesus. Or as I call it, the "true" Jesus. Handsome, strong, loving.

Can't tell if trolling...

He came, now he is going to came again as long as he gets his visa. Also I guess that picture was taken after the skin bleaching ಠ_ಠ

I always thought "dies" was a little strong for what they believe. According to their most popular fairy tale he basically went to sleep for a couple of days and then flew up to heaven. It always seems funny that they insist he died for our us, if a magical person pretends to be dead for a few days and then flies up into space, promising to return... they didn't actually die in the first place... it was more like a simulated near death experience.
1
Uh...that's not what the Bible says. It says he died. If it said he'd gone to sleep for three days, it'd be a lot more believeable. But it's hard to found a religion on a guy's three-day bender.
3
Yeah, I suppose my problem is that I'm trying to be rational about an irrational subject. Death is final, there is no resurrection, or magical spirit transmigrating from within and if there was then it wouldn't really be death.
1
It's funny. I've heard some of my Christian friends have long, apparently serious conversations about whether or not Jesus had regular sexual urges like any human being. I've heard people have these intricate conversations about how the animals would have to be arranged on the ark to keep them from killing each other. There's no way to make sense of the nonsense, and no way to make these stories logically consistent. It's easier to just ignore it, and say "it's the mystery of faith."

I don't like this post. Not because I'm Christian(I'm an Atheist), but rather because I think Jesus was a cool and wise guy. It's society, churchs, etcetera that have pushed all these crazy ideas on us. His mother was the one who claimed to have been knocked up by God, you can't blame Jesus or anyone else for believing her. Everyone was gullible then(arguably still is today) and Jesus was brought up ACTUALLY believing he was the son of God, but he was one great guy.
TL;DR Jesus was a cool wise guy even though he himself and everyone else believed(and still believes) him to be the son of God.

I'm sure he was. And I'm sure scumbag steve isn't a scumbag. It's a meme. Not a stab.
1
"Says he's a God" makes him sound like he was manipulating people. I think his followers and mother was the one who did that.

That's if the jesus of the bible ever actually existed.
1
True, there is speculation that he may have never even been born. And that's AFTER considering that no one really knows his real birthday.
1
Or any evidence that he actually existed.
1
Wait.. when was The Bible written? Or when did they begin writing it? I'll admit, Jesus does sound a little too good to be true but so does Gandhi does he not?

Says he's returning to save humanity.
Doesn't return.

He's trying to come back guys, but all you baby-eating atheists keep aborting him!

"Claims he's a God, dies" - Just because he's a God doesn't mean he can't die. Gods in Ancient Egypt could die, all the time in fact, yes they may reincarnate, but they still died, and Osiris never really un-died.

I agree with this. Even though I might be Atheist, I feel this is a poor example of Atheist beliefs.

But he's coming back. Wait for it....waaaaaaaiit for it.... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
2000 years pass
aaaaaaaaaiiiit for it....waaaaaaiiiit for it....
Just around the corner guys! He's close, I can feel it!

There are some people who believe that his second coming happened not 100 years after christ.
