Welcome To The Services Of The Dunlap church of Christ Questions? Just Let Us Know!
John 10:24-33 “Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. (25) Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not:”
“The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me, (26) But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. (27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:”
(28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (29) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.”
(30) I and my Father are one. (31) Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. (32) Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?”
(33) The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.”

What are the differences between Christianity and other world religions? • Ramsey “The distinctiveness of Christianity is to be found in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who entered history as a man, died in our behalf and rose from the dead.”
Jane Fonda “But, sir, he may be the Son of God to you, but perhaps for a lot of other people he is not God’s Son.”
Michael Ramsey “My dear young woman, either Jesus Christ is the Son of God or He is not the Son of God; and what I think about it, or what you think about it does not alter the fact.”
EXACTLY!!!! Either He Is Not Jesus Is God’s Son Or
If Jesus Is The Son Of God Either We cannot We can know it to be true Or
If We Cannot Know It To Be True Either God is not just All men living today will be saved Or
An Undeniable Deduction If, as the Bible teaches, all men everywhere must believe, love, &obey Jesus in order to be saved, Then a credible case for the Deity of Jesus must be possible. John 3:16; John 8:24; John 14:15; Hebrews 5:8-9; I Corinthians 16:22
II Thess. 1:7-9 Matthew 7:13-14 Matthew 7:21-23 Which? If I must come to the knowledge that Jesus is the Son of God, Then Either Or else God has provided us with the necessary evidence, He is totally unjust in requiring that we believe what we cannot reasonably accept.
The Myth of God Incarnate “Jesus was (as he is presented in Acts 2:21) ‘a man approved by God’ for a special role within the divine purpose, and …the later conception of him as God incarnate, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity living a human life, is a mythological or poetic way of expressing his significance for us.” Edited by John Hick with Anglican authors

The Cases For The Case Scoffers “Argue against arguing!” “Jesus doesn’t need us! We need Him!” “Belief cannot argue with unbelief – it can only preach to it.” Karl Barth The New Testament, from beginning to end, is one lengthy defense of the Deity of Jesus.

Leviticus 24:16 “He that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.”
John 5:18 “Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.” John 19:7 “The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”

Romans 1:1-4 “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (2) (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) (3) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; (4) And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:”
Romans 9:1-5 “I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, (2) That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. (3) For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:”
(4) Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; (5) Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.”

John 20:30-31 “And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: (31) But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
