Does The Bible Assert That Jesus Is God?

This addi­tion to my list of writ­ings is a two-page Word doc­u­ment answer­ing the ques­tion Does the Bible Assert that Jesus is God?

It’s not a ques­tion I get very often, but when I do this is a use­ful out­line for explain­ing why I believe in the deity of Christ. It usu­al­ly comes up when a stu­dent tak­ing a reli­gious stud­ies class is told that the ear­li­est Chris­tians did­n’t think that Jesus was God — this belief is alleged to have been invent­ed out of whole cloth cen­turies lat­er. Total pop­py­cock, but wide­ly believed in some cir­cles.

In case you need some­thing broad­er, check out The Bib­li­cal Basis For the Doc­trine of the Trin­i­ty by Rob Bow­man. It’s an out­stand­ing guide to the Chris­t­ian doc­trine of God exist­ing in three per­sons.
