I'll only say now briefly that it was agospel of Paul, who never saw Jesus alive (II Timothy 2:8):"Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised fromthe dead according to mY gospel."The gospel of resurrection in Mark 16:9-20 has also beenremoved in many Bibles. If not removed it is printed in small printor between two brackets and with commentary' See RevisedStandard Version, New American Standard Bible and New WorldTranslation of the Holy Scriptures of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Letme ask you one thing: did Jesus ever claim to be God or to say."Here am I, your God, and worship me"?C. No. but he is God and man.M. But did he ever claim that?C. No.M. Indeed he had prophesied that people uill rvorship himuselessly and u.ill believe in doctrines not made b1' God but bymen (Matthew 15:9): "But in vain thel' do worship me. teachingfor doctrines the commandrnents of men."All doctrines of modern Christianity are made by men: the'frinity, Divine Sonship of Jesus. Divinity of Jesus C'.irrist. OriginalSin and Atonement. From Jesus' own sayings, recorded in the NewTestament, it is clear that he never claimed divinity or identity toGod: "I do nothing of myself' (John 8:28); "My Father is greaterthan I" (John 14:28); "The Lord ow God is onelord"(Mark12:29); "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Mark15:34); "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit" (Luke 23:46)."But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no. not the angelswhich are in heaven. neither the Son. but the Father" (Mark 13:32).Jesus was called prophet, teacher flom God. His servant, Messiah'and later was escalated to Son of God. and then God Himself.
