Korede a nigerian Christian apologist made such a pathetic post on Facebook, I couldn't stop laughing lol. He wrote he will show where Jesus said he is God, I was like WHAT BIBLE IS KOREDE READING!!!! Academic scholars agree there is not such a verse to be found in the entire NT, so where did Korede pull out such a verse.. However after reading koredes joke evidence I thought Korede your times up now u need to retire lol
This is what he wrote read below :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
READ IT YOURSELF
20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
[Luke 5:20 - 24]
FOR EMPHASIS
--------------------
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's analyse the passage Korede posted, so here we have a situation where Jesus is healing anyone that came to him along side a paralysed man, first reverse back to verse 17 and read
17 One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick.
THE POWER OF THE LORD WAS WITH JESUS? But Korede said Jesus was god?
Let's carry on the scribes and Pharisees said only God can forgive sins..? Did Jesus call himself God, Or did the scribes and Pharisees call him God? NEITHER.
They only said amongst themselves only God forgives sins which he does not that they considered Jesus to be God nor did Jesus consider himself to be God
Just because the scribes Pharisees / Jews said that doesn't make him God, if that's the case what about all the other allegations and names they called Jesus
The Jews answered him, "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?" (John 8:48)
"You are demon-possessed," the crowd answered. "Who is trying to kill you?"
(John 7:20)
And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casts he out devils. (Mark 3:22)
Many of them said, "He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?"
(John 10:20)
Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others asked, "How can a sinner perform such signs?" So they were divided. (John 9:16)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Even his family said he is insane
When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind." (Mark 3:21)
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. (Matthew 4:8)
The devil took Jesus up the a very high mountain?? How can the devil take Jesus up unless he possessed or hypnotised him??
What about Jesus calling the Jews god?
Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written in your Law, 'I SAID, YOU ARE GODS '?
(John 10:34)
What's even more absurd is that Korede intentionally deceived his people, he's well aware even the disciples were able to forgive sins :
Disciples were also able to forgive sins
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” (John 20:22:23)
Shall we conclude that Jesus was also possessed and a sinner just because the Jews said so? If agree with Korede then yes !
