Hi, Johann
I have quoted Scripture EXTENSIVELY in several threads, often outnumbering the verses quoted by those who debate with me.
If You kindy accept my invitation to debate on the need tobelieve that Jesus is God in order to be saved, be prepared for an avalanche of quotes.
Jesus as God
The doctrine of Jesus as God is fundamental to salvation and an essential truth about the character of God. Below is a list of references that confirm the deity of Jesus and offer proof that he has always been and will always be God.
Those who diminish, doubt, or deny the divinity of Jesus do so at the destruction of the scriptures.
