According to the specific claims that Jesus himself made, his disciples also supported the divinity of Christ.
They claimed that Jesus alone had the authority to forgive sins—which only God can do—because He is the God who hates sin (Acts 5:31; Colossians 3:13; Psalm 130:4; Jeremiah 31:34). . Closely related to this last claim, Jesus also says that He is the one who will “judge the living and the dead” (2 Timothy 4:1). Thomas cried out to Jesus, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). Paul calls Jesus “the great God and Savior” (Titus 2:13), and indicates that Jesus was incorporeal as God before becoming flesh (Philippians 2:5-8). God the Father says this about Jesus: “Your throne, O God, will be forever” (Hebrews 1: 8). John says that “in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, the Word [Jesus] was God” (John 1:1). Scriptural examples teach much about the deity of Christ (Revelation 1:17, 2:8, 22:13; 1 Corinthians 10:4; 1 Peter 2:6-8; Psalm 18:2, 95:1; 1 Peter 5: 4; see Hebrews 13:20), but one of these alone was sufficient for Jesus to be recognized as God by his disciples.
Jesus was specifically given the name Jehovah (God’s formal name) in the Old Testament. The name “Savior” of the Old Testament (Psalm 130:7; Hosea 13:14) is applied to Jesus in the New Testament (Titus 2:13; Revelation 5:90). Jesus will be called Immanuel—”God with us”—(Matthew 1 chapter). In Zechariah 12:10, Jehovah says, “They shall look upon Me, whom they have slain.” But the New Testament uses it with the suffering of Jesus on the cross (John 19:37; Revelation 1:7). If it was Jehovah who was declared and looked up to, and Jesus was likewise declared and looked up to, then Jesus is Jehovah. Paul reverses Isaiah 45:22-23 so that it applies to Jesus in Philippians 2:10-11. Later, Jesus’ name was included in the Lord’s Prayer “Grace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 1:3; Ephesians 1: 2). If there is no divinity in Christ, it is like blaspheming your God. Jesus’ name appears with Jehovah when Jesus commanded to baptize “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19; see also 2 Corinthians 13:14).
Works that can only be accomplished by God have been entrusted to Jesus. Jesus not only rose from the dead (John 5:21, 11:38-44) but forgave sins (Acts 5:31, 13:38), He created the universe and put it in place (John 1:2; Colossians 1). :16-17). This statement becomes even more powerful when we consider that Jehovah said that Jehovah was alone when he created creation (Isaiah 44:24). Later, Jesus had all the attributes that only God has: eternity (John 8:58), omnipresent (Matthew 18:20, 28:20), omniscient (Matthew 16:21), omnipotent (John 11:38-44).
Now it is one thing to claim to be God, or to make someone believe that it is true is foolishness, it is another thing to prove that it is so. To prove the claim of divinity, Christ performed various miracles. Some of Jesus’ miracles include turning water into wine (John 2:7), walking on water (Matthew 14:25), multiplying physical objects (John 6:11), Healing the blind (John 9:7), healing the lame (Mark 2:3), healing the sick (Matthew 9:35; Mark 1:40-42), and even raising people from the dead (John 11:43; Luke 7: 11-15; Mark 5:35). Even more, Christ himself rose from the dead. Apart from dying and coming back to life according to the mythology of other gods and goddesses, such a thing as reincarnation is not seriously claimed by other religions, and no other claim is confirmed by so many sacred scriptures.
There are at least twelve such historical facts about Jesus that are accepted by scholars of other nations:
(i) Jesus died on the cross.
(ii) He was buried.
(iii) His death caused the disciples to flee and lose hope.
(iv) Jesus’ tomb was returned empty (ie claimed to be found) several times a day.
(v) When the disciples believed, they experienced the resurrected form of Jesus.
(vi) After this the disciples were transformed from skeptics to courageous believers.
(vii) This message was central to preaching in the early church.
(viii) This message was taught in Jerusalem.
(xi) As a result of this preaching, the church was born and it grew.
(x) The Day of Restoration, Sunday, Sabbath (Saturday) was removed and replaced with a day of worship.
(xi) Jacob, a home carpenter, was converted when he saw the resurrected Jesus and believed.
(xii) Paul, a faithful enemy, was converted by an experience which he believed to be the image of Jesus raised from the dead.Even if one objects to this particular list, only a few are needed to prove the resurrection and establish the gospel: Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection, and presence (1 Corinthians 15:1-5). While there are some theories to explain one or two of the above facts, only restoration can explain and account for them all. Critics also accept the claim made by the disciples of Jesus’ resurrection. Neither lies nor illusions can change a person on the path taken by Punarsthan. What should they have received first? The Christian faith was not popular and it certainly did them no good. Second, liars do not make good martyrs. Their willingness to accept a horrible death for the sake of their faith and resurrection cannot be more descriptive. Yes, many people die for lies they believe to be true,
In summary, Christ claimed that He was Jehovah, that He was God (not just “God” but the true God); His followers (Jews who feared idolatry) believed in him and referred to him as God. Christ proved his divinity through miracles, including a world-changing resurrection. No other hypothesis can explain these facts. Yes, the divinity of Christ is biblically based.
