18 Reasons That Jesus Was Not God

1)   When Jesus had been baptized, he immediately rose from the water and a voice was heard from the heavens, which said: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Who is who? God speaks from heaven to God standing on the ground?

2)   God cannot be tempted with evil (James 1:13). Jesus was tempted by evil (Matt. 4:1-11). If Jesus was God, how could Jesus be tempted by evil?

3)   Jesus worshipped God (John 20:17, Mark. 12:29-30, Matt. 4:10). How can Jesus worship God if Jesus is himself God? Does God worship Himself?

4)   Jesus cried out, when hanging on the cross: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46). If Jesus was God, then God had forsaken God! How can that be? How can God forsake God?

5)   God cannot die! (1 Tim. 6:16). Jesus died. If Jesus was God, then how could he die?

6)   Who ran the universe during the three days that Jesus was dead in the grave? Was God dead for three days? Did the universe vanish for three days?

7)   God raised Jesus from the dead (Acts 5:30). How could God raise Himself when He was dead?

8)   Jesus is a messenger between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5). How can a messenger (middle man) be the same being he is the messenger for?

9)   Jesus saidf "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only" (Matt. 24:36). If Jesus is God, then how is it Jesus does not know what God knows?

10)   If Jesus is God, then how can he stand next to God? (Acts 7:56).

11)   If Jesus is God, then who was he praying to in Gethsemane? (Matt. 26:39).

12)   How can Jesus receive "honour and glory" from God when he is himself God? (2 Pet. 1:17).

13)   The Bible says about Jesus: "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;" (Heb. 5:8) Why would God need to learn obedience?

14)   Jesus "sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high" (Heb. 1:3). How can God sit down with Himself?

15)   Jesus himself will be subject to God (1 Cor. 15:28). How can God subject Himself to God?

16)   How could Jesus, if he was God, go to God? (John 14:28)

17)   How can Jesus, who was "sent" by God, be God who sent him? (John 3:34; 17:3)

18)   How could Jesus ascend to God when he was himself God? (John 20:17)
