"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." 1 Timothy 3:16

Many can accept the Messiahship of Yeshua, yet deny His deity. Below are places that show Yeshua referred to Himself as more than just mere man:

"I and the Father are One." (Yochanan 10:30)

"Truly truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." (Yochanan 8:58)

Later in the Yochanan 8 passage, the crowd started gathering stones to stone Him, they understood He was claiming pre-creation existence here.

"Now Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." (Yochanan 17:5)

Only G-d existed before His creation.

"Where two or three have gathered in My name, I am in their midst." (Mattityahu 18:20)

Can mere man be everywhere? Only an omnipresent G-d can.

"....trust in G-d, trust also in me." (Yochanan 14:1)

Would we trust any man as we would trust G-d unless that Man *was* G-d?

"For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom He wishes." (Yochanan 5:21)

Only the Creator could do this, Yeshua said He could too.

"For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgement to the Son." (Yochanan 5:22)

Only G-d can judge mankind, Yeshua says He will.

"....Son, your sins are forgiven." (Mark 2:5)

Only G-d can forgive our sins, yet here, Yeshua is forgiving sins.

"....All authority has been given to Me in heaven in earth." (Mattityahu 28:18)

Only G-d is in charge of the universe.

Yeshua was clearly more than mere man, he was a human manifestation of G-d.

Is KJV The Only Version To Maintain Yeshua's Deity?

I've noticed a lot of KJV'ers are insisting that the deity of Yeshua can only be proved using the Authorized KJV (underlining Textus Receptus). The thought that using a different bible version could cause one to reject deity of Yeshua disturbed me, so I searched other modern versions based on the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus manuscripts just to see if KJV'ers were correct. I was pleased to find that Yeshua's deity is maintained in other non-KJV versions. I do not mind the KJV text, I've used it myself, and know that many people have found Truth using only the KJV text. I just wanted to satisfy myself by searching to see that other versions also contain this truth of Yeshua's deity. (All the quotes below are taken from the NASB 1995 and checked against the NIV 1984 "just to be sure" my assertion is correct):

Titus 2:13 "looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Messiah Yeshua,"

2 Peter 1:1 "Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Yeshua Messiah, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Yeshua Messiah:"

Here actually called G-d!

Revelation 2:23 "And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds."

Only G-d knows everything and can know our minds and hearts.

Philippians 3:21 "who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself."

Only G-d has this kind of power.

Hebrews 1:3 "And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,"

Only G-d sits on the throne in heaven.

Hebrews 13:8 Yeshua Messiah is the same yesterday and today and forever.
