The Bible does NOT claim that “Jesus is God”

Another day, another refutation. Today’s article comes again from my favorite plaything, Hank Hanegraaff. It’s titled Does the Bible Claim Jesus is God?. As you might expect, Hank does what he’s best at — drive-by Biblical exegesis. He has made a lot of shallow arguments in this one, so bear with me. This one could take a while since I’m going to be thoroughly deconstructing him point by point.

Jesus did NOT claim to be God

Here we go again, another refutation of Hank Hanegraaff — this time the article  is called Did Jesus Claim to Be God?. After reading several of Hank’s articles, I think I’ll devote an entire category to him. How did he ever get the nickname The Bible Answer Man? — I think he should be called The Bible Blunder Man! Anyway, enough of Hank and his antics, let’s get into the heart of his arguments.

But they do not believe that Jesus Christ is the Supreme God.

Y’shua according to Y’shua

[An examination of the claims of Y’shua found in Yochanan’s gospel]

My purpose and intent in writing this essay is to draw your attention to the words of Y’shua and the claims he makes about himself as lined out in Yochanan’s (John) gospel.

Y’shua in Revelation

[A study of the relationship between YHWH and his son, Y’shua]

I would like to start out by stating that this is neither a comprehensive study of the book of Revelation nor does it concern prophecy or eschatology. The focus is to illuminate the relationship between the One True God (YHWH) and his unique son, Y’shua, as lined out in Revelation.

The Spirits in Prison

Who are the spirits in prison?

It seems the general consensus about 1 Peter 3:19 and the spirits in prison is that upon dying, Messiah descended into “hell” (a supposed place of torment) and while there, He preached the Gospel to demons.

Lazarus and the Rich Man

Why can’t Luke 16:19-31 be a literal narrative? Here’s three simple reasons:
