Let the debate begin-Round One

[John 15:18]

First of all, <b>No Christian was able to show me a single verse where Jesus himsef said i am God or where he said worship me</b>,

Have you considered John 8:58?


"I tell you the truth" Jesus answered, "Before Abraham was born, I Am".


Now, before you say that this verse says nothing about Jesus claiming to be God, consider this:


1 - Before Abraham was even born (i.e. before the founding of earthly religion), Jesus was. He has outlasted earthly religion (all three religions of the book), and ascended up to heaven bodily. Basically, he is eternal.


2 - Jesus was in existence before Judaism, before Islam, and before Christianity. So, he exists outside those earthly systems, and his relationship to God is not dependent on them.


3 - "I am". He does not say that he was, but rather that he is. That shows his eternity.


4 - "I am". This echoes back to Exodus 3:14: "God said to Moses: I AM who I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites. I AM has sent me to you." God also said to Moses: "Say to the Israelites, 'the Lord the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob - has sent me to you. This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation".


That's how God described himself. It is also how Jesus described himself. Debate it if you will, but you were looking for one verse where Jesus said he was God. That's it.
