Bible Question:
Does Jesus deny His deity? Note, I believe in His diety. |
Bible Answer: Question: Does Jesus deny His deity? Answer: Of course NOT! "10:18 Why do you call me good? Jesus challenged the ruler to think through the implications of ascribing to Him the title "good." Since only God is intrinsically good, was he prepared to acknowledge Jesus' deity? By this query Jesus did not deny His deity; on the contrary, He affirmed it." (MacArthur NKJV Study Bible, 1997 Word Publishing, pg. 1482) --Nolan |
