Jesus and His God

Mark 2:5 - Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you." Mark 2:6 - But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,    Mark 2:7 - "Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"  Mark 2:8 - Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?  Mark 2:9 - Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'  Mark 2:10 - But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he said to the paralytic --  Mark 2:11 - "I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."  .  Luke 5:20 - Seeing their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."  Luke 5:21 - The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, ...

Genesis 17:1 - And when Abram was ninety nine years old, Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him, I am the Almighty God! Walk before me and be perfect; -- Green's Literal. Many claim that Jesus is the God of the Old Testament who appeared to Abraham, and thus that in Genesis 17:1, it was Jesus as the second person of the alleged Trinity who appeared to Abraham.

Acts 26:14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ Acts 26:15 “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ ” ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. Acts 26:16 ‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you. Acts 26:17 I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them Acts 26:18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'”– World English Acts 26:14-18 is sometimes cited as proof that Jesus is Jehovah, most often to support the trinity or ...
