I.  His Birth Name Shows Him to be Deity

A.  Prophesy of Christ’s name – Isaiah 7:14"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." 

1.  "God with us" Matthew 1:23"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." 

B.  He will reign and be known as the "Son of God" Luke 1:31-35
C.  The inspired word calls Christ Deity I John 5:20 “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”

1. I Timothy 1:16-17“16. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.  17. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
2.  Romans 9:5 “Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.”

D.  Jesus refers to Himself as the “Alpha and the Omega” Revelation 22:13-16

1.  Christ and the Father are ONE John 17:21-22

A.  Omnipresent – Matthew 28:20"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

1. Matthew 18:20“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

B.  Omniscient – Luke 5:22“But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?”
C.  Omnipotent (Did so with His own power, not the power of the Spirit) – John 11:30-44 – Christ brings Lazarus back to life
D.  Some would say [Jeff Asher, David Padfield, and the Faith in Facts Group] that Christ worked as the Holy Spirit moved Him.  They fail to see that the Holy Spirit was in subjection to Christ John 16:13-15

A. I Timothy 3:16"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." 
B.  John 1:1-4;14 "1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2. The same was in the beginning with God. 3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." 
C.  Who died to purchase the church (CHRIST / BEING GOD – Ephesians 5:25) -  Acts 20:28 "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." 
D.  Christ was said he was "I am" before Abraham’s days John 8:58 "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." 

1.  God the Father too was "I am" Exodus 3:14"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."

A.  Notice the following scriptures and the comparison scriptures showing that Christ is God:

1.  Glory to none other Isaiah 42:8  - 

a.  Honor to Christ John 5:22-23

2.  None Holy but God I Samuel 2:2   - 

a.  Christ the Holy One Acts 3:13-14

3.  God created Sabbath Genesis 2:3   - 

a.  Christ Lord of the Sabbath Matthew 12:8

4.  God is light I John 1:5   - 

a.  Christ is the light John 8:12

5.  The world did not know God I John 3:1   - 

a.  The world did not know Christ John 1:1;10

6.  Worship God and God alone Matthew 4:9-10 [Jesus said this, therefore it was no secret to Him] - 

a. Jesus accepted worship – Matthew 8:2, Matthew 9:18, Matthew 14:33, Matthew 28:9, Mark 5:6, and Luke 24:52.
b.  If Jesus had the Spirit the same way the Apostles did, why did the Spirit not guide Jesus to stop all those who worshipped Him from doing so?  Did Jesus and the Spirit fail and Peter and the Spirit succeed in doing right?  Acts 10:25-26“And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.  But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.”
c.  If Jesus accepted worship, when he knew that only God was to be worshipped, then Jesus sinned.  Yet, the Bible calls Jesus sinless – Hebrews 4:14-15 “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”

 

Note the insanity of this false position:
“Sept 19, 1989;
John Welch

I Tim. 2:5 says, 'There
is one mediator between God and man, (the revised versions say) himself,
man Christ Jesus.' Ladies and gentlemen, Jesus Christ did not give up
divinity for just 33 years. He gave it up for all time. All time. It
wasn't just temporarily as Superman stepped out of the phone booth. He
gave it up for all time. He became one of us, ladies and gentlemen. He
has been raised by the right hand of God. He has been given a name that
is above every name, but he is not equal with God again where he was
before. You and I should appreciate the sacrifice of Jesus for us. He is
the Son of God, but he became one of us in all points like us.
"Heb. 10:12-13, 'This man after he had offered one sacrifice for sin sat
down on the right hand of God from henceforth expecting till his enemies
be made his footstool.' (Could spend a lot time talking about
premillennialism from that passage). Verse 21 says 'having an high
priest over the house of God.' A high priest had to be a man. He is
still our high priest -- himself
