Jesus Used Old Testament References To God to Describe Himself

There never used to be much doubt amongst Christians generally that Christ was God in flesh (with some exceptions like Jehovah’s Witnesses and Unitarians) but this is increasingly under fire and questioned (as one would expect as the world becomes more proud and hostile to God’s efforts to come to us rather than allow us any means to reach Him). But did you know that Jesus, it would appear very much on purpose, took the Old Testament verses where God is referring specifically to Himself, and applied them to himself?

The traditional belief is that Jesus was God in-carnate – i.e God’s spirit housed in a fleshly vessel to experience sufferings just as we and give weight and credibility to Him giving us commands as to how we should live. In other words he could then say; do as I do and not just do as I say, so that no one could ever accuse God of not understanding what it’s like being ‘trapped’ in a sinful fleshly and needy body.

Anyway, take a look at this video, study the Bible for yourself and see if you agree that Jesus was in fact God, in human form as I and many others have believed through the centuries.
