IF JESUS WAS GOD, WHY DO THE FACTS SAY OTHERWISE?
Let’s stop dancing around this issue.
If something is truly God, it must fit the nature of God—perfect, unchanging, all-powerful, all-knowing, and independent. But when you look closely at Jesus, the picture doesn’t match. Not even close.
Start with the most basic point:
God cannot be born — yet Jesus was born.
Matthew 1:1 and Luke 1:36 clearly place Jesus inside human lineage and biological origin. God, by definition, has no beginning. So how does the Eternal suddenly have a birthday?
God cannot die — yet Jesus died.
Mark 15:39 confirms his death. If God can die, then He is not eternal. And if He is not eternal, then He is not God. It’s that simple.
God is all-knowing — Jesus was not.
In Mark 13:32, Jesus admits he does not know the Hour. Acts 1:7 reinforces that knowledge belongs to the Father alone. Luke 2:52 says Jesus grew in wisdom. God doesn’t grow in knowledge—He already knows everything.
God is all-powerful — Jesus was given authority.
Matthew 28:18 says, “All authority has been given to me.” Given by who? If someone gives you power, then you didn’t have it inherently. That alone destroys the claim of inherent divinity.
God is absolutely good — Jesus distinguishes himself from that.
In Luke 18:19, Jesus says, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.” That’s not a claim to divinity—that’s a clear distinction.
God has no superior — Jesus has a God.
John 20:17: “I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”
Read that again carefully. Jesus has a God. God does not have a God.
God cannot be tempted — Jesus was tempted.
Luke 22:28 and Hebrews 4:15 confirm Jesus faced temptation. But God, by nature, is beyond temptation. You cannot tempt the One who controls everything.
God does not change — Jesus developed and changed.
Luke 2:52 says Jesus grew in wisdom and stature. Growth means change. Change means limitation. Limitation means not God.
So the question is unavoidable:
Are we going to ignore these clear, consistent distinctions—or are we going to follow the evidence wherever it leads?
Because once you strip away assumptions and inherited beliefs, one truth stan
