"Yes, Jesus Claimed To Be God"
Taken from an article from the OnTheBox blog, written by Mark Spence.
One of the many "cut and paste" objections unbelievers levy against God and His Word is this: "Jesus never claimed to be God."
Truth: The Bible does not record Jesus saying these words in a single sentence: "I am God."
Truth: Jesus repeatedly asserted He was and is God, and that is why the Jewish religious leaders sought to murder Him (Mark 14:60-64; Luke 22:66-71; John 8:48-59; John 9:35-41;John 10:30-33).
The Bible is replete with the words of Jesus and the words about Jesus, which clearly show (to those who are not spiritually blind), that God the Father and Jesus (God the Son) are one in essence and character while, at the same time unique in their personage. God the Father and God the Son, along with God the Holy Spirit, comprise the Trinity of God. God is one God in three Persons.
What follows was compiled by Mark Spence and published as part of Lesson 49 of The School of Biblical Evangelism. Feel free to copy and paste this into a Word document and size it to fit inside your Bible. The next time someone foolishly challenges the deity of Jesus, you will be all-the-more equipped to give the reason for the hope that is in you.
Read the Rest HERE and find a list of verses where Jesus claims to be God.
God Bless!!

Adventures In Apologetics: What Does It Mean To "Honor Your Parents"?
"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you." ~Exodus 20:12
As a Christian, I understand that the Ten Commandments are a mirror meant to show our desperate sinfulness and need for a Savior, and as a teenager, I understand the the meaning of everyone of them....except this one!?
What exactly does it mean to "honor" our parents, and what do Jesus mean when He says that we must "hate our parents" to follow Him?
Well, the think the answer too all question of Scripture questions should start in Scripture itself. What does the Word really say?

Darwin's Heretic: Did the Co-Founder of Evolution Embrace Intelligent Design?
This is an interesting video. Did the co-founder of the theory evolution not actually believe it?
Watch for yourself and found out.
"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." ~Romans 1:18-20

God Has Already Done The Work!
I received this anonymous questions:
Well, let me say, praying and praising God is great and will keep a soul on fire for the Lord.
I want to begin with a few points, then answer your question with Scripture.
1) God's expectations are too high for us too reach.
The fact is, we are commanded to "be perfect as our Father is Holy" (Matthew 5:48)
But the Bible also says that we can not do it without God helping us. (2 Peter 1:3)
"For He has made perfect forever, those who are being made holy" Hebrews 10:14
2) God can never be praised enough. He is worthy of praise and worthy to be praised.
We don't have to look any further then the Gospel too tell us that.
God came into the world, lived a sinless life, suffered and died on a Cross to save us from our own sinfulness, give us new life, give us His Spirit and redeem us as His children. Then He rose again on the three days later to just prove Himself as God.
Once we repent and trust in Christ, He grants us new, eternal life.
I say this because the Gospel should be the foundation of our worship and prayer towards God.
I was actually just read this from Titus 2 in my time in the Word this morning:
"For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good."~Titus 2:11-14
But, the best advice I can give you is too stay in His Word, pray continually, stay in fellowship of a local Biblical Church, and share your faith with others.
Last thing that I would like to encourage you with comes out of the book of 2 Peter.
"His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins." ~2 Peter 1:3-9
Pray this encourages you!
Keep doing what you're doing and walk with the Lord! God Bless!
"Hello, I have a question: I love God but I feel as if I'm not living up to His expectations and that I'm not praising him enough. I pray to Him every day and night, and in my prayers I always praise Him. What else can I do to show God that I love him?"
Well, let me say, praying and praising God is great and will keep a soul on fire for the Lord.
