Who said that Jesus Christ is God?

Is Christ GOD?

These are the Authoritative testimonies that gives us information we need to prove that Jesus Christ is not GOD!

“The New testament speaks simply of ‘God’, the same God who was at work in the Old Testament: the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. The New Testament writers do not even ordinarily speak of Jesus as ‘God’…” (McBrien, Richard P. Catholicism, Third Edition. Great Britain: Goffrey Chapman, 1951.)

“Jesus is never called God in the Synoptic Gospels, and a passage like Mt. 10:18 would seem to preclude the possibility that Jesus used the title of himself. Even the fourth Gospel never portrays Jesus as saying specifically that he is God. The sermons which Acts attributes to the beginning of the Christian mission do not speak of Jesus as God. Thus, there is no reason to think that Jesus was called God in the earliest layers of New Testament tradition. This negative conclusion is substantiated by the fact that Paul does not use the title in any epistle written before 58…” (Brown, Raymond E., S.S. Jesus: God and Man. Milwaukee: The Bruce Publishing Company, n. d.)

“The NT nowhere says tout court that Christ is God…” (Richardson, Allan. An introduction to the theology of the New Testament. London, Great Britain: SLM press ltd., 1958.)

“The New Testament says that Jesus was the Word of God, it says that God was in Christ, it says, that Jesus is the Son of God; but it does not say that Jesus was God…” (Robinson, John A.T. Honest to God. London:SCM press ltd., 1963.)

“Paul never specifically states that Jesus was God, though he told his converts in Colossae that Jesus was the ‘image’ or ‘ikon’ of the invisible God.” (Wilson, A.N. Jesus: A life. New York: W.W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1992.)

“It is evident, further, from the fact that Paul avoids calling Christ ‘God’ that he has no idea of equating them.” (Kummel, Georg W. The theology of the New Testament, trans. John E. Steely. New York & Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1973)

“… But on the other hand Jesus is scarcely ever directly called ‘God’ and never by Paul himself…” (Kung, Hans. On being a Christian. New York: Image book, 1996)

“… Peter did not claim that Jesus of Nazareth was God. He ‘was a man, commended to you by God by the miracles and portents and signs that God worked through him when he was among you’…” (Armstrong, Karen. A history of God. Great Britain: Mandarin Paperbacks, 1994)

“… Jesus never claims to be God,…” (Robinson, John A.T. Honest to God. London:SCM press ltd., 1963)

“We read the Gospels and the book of Acts in the light of our understanding of the pre-existence and the incarnation of God the Son. However, the early Christian had no such concepts in their minds. They had no doctrine of the deity of Christ…” (Ladd, George E. The young Church. London: Lutterworth Press; New York & Nashville: Abingdon Press ltd.,)
