  1. Jesus’ Claims of Deity The Gospel Record

  2. “At this gathering [the Council of Nicaea],” Teabing said, “many aspects of Christianity were debated and voted upon – the date of Easter, the role of the bishops – and, of course, the divinity of Jesus – until that moment in history, Jesus was viewed by His followers as a mortal prophet – a great and powerful man, but a man nonetheless. A mortal.” (Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code, Chapter 55)

  3. JESUS never claimed to be God. Everything he said about himself indicates that he did not consider himself equal to God in any way— not in power, not in knowledge, not in age. Jehovah’s Witnesses Website

  4. Yahshua never claimed to be God while in the human flesh. He was the Son of MAN – he was thoroughly HUMAN – having divested himself of his former glory as a God-Being, one of the two members of the God Kingdom-Family. In the beginning was the Word… God became man so man could become God! The Plain Truth – Worldwide Church of God

  5. Christian Science teaches that Jesus embodied the divinity of God but that he himself was not Deity— in keeping with Jesus’ own words that he was not the Father, and that God, the Father, alone should be worshiped. Christian Science Website

  6. "I will preach on the plurality of Gods. I have always declared God to be a distinct personage, Jesus Christ a separate and distinct personage from God the Father, and the Holy Ghost was a distinct personage and a Spirit: and these three constitute three distinct personages and three Gods" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 370).

  7. People of the Book, do not exaggerate your religion. Do not say about Allah except the truth. Indeed, the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, is only a Messenger (and Prophet) of Allah, and His Word (Be) which He gave to Mary, and a (created) spirit by Him. So believe in Allah and His Messengers and do not say: 'Trinity.'

  8. Refrain, it is better for you. Allah is only One God. Exaltations to Him that He should have son! To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, it is sufficient that Allah is the Guardian. (Koran 4:171Qaribullah Translation)

  9. Indeed those who say: 'Allah is the third of the Trinity’ became unbelievers. There is but One God. If they do not desist in what they say, a painful punishment will afflict those of them that disbelieve. (Koran 5:73Qaribullah Translation)
