Gumbo. You either refuse to answer my question or there is no answer. Tell me where jesus, by his own lips, says "i am god, worship me" please dont quote commentaries by others because they are totally invalid.
while youre at it, could you explain the following verses to me. Seems to me (if the below verses are true), that jesus was being hypocritical to say the least. What was he trying to do? confuse his followers?
Matthew 26:36-44
36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.
38. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
39. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
41. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
42. He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done."
43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, SAYING THE SAME THING.
As a final note, the concept of the Trinity was not introduced into christianity until nearly 400 years AFTER jesus left this earth.
