God will not share his glory with another (Isaiah 42:8) but Jesus is honoured “just as” the Father (John 5:23) – isn’t the only logical conclusion that Jesus is God?

Answered by . June 27, 2014 - 4:30 am 1

I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols (Isaiah 48:8) that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him (John 5:23) So the logic behind […]

We aren’t specifically told why Jesus wept at Lazarus’ tomb. A possible answer is that he was upset because his friend was dead (although he knows he’s going to raise him soon [John 11:23], so this doesn’t seem like the fullest answer).

Why was no one in the whole Bible perfect except for Christ?

Answered by . June 1, 2013 - 8:57 am

Everyone throughout the history of the world has, at some point, sought to fulfill their their own evil desires (Rom. 3:9-18; James 1:14-15). Doing this has meant they (and we) are not perfect.
