None of the Bible 's Writers Believed That Jesus is God:
Christians and Muslims both
believe in Jesus, love him,
and honor him. They are,
however, divided over the
question of his divinity. Fortunately, this difference
can be resolved if we refer
the question to both the
Bible and the Quran, because,
both the Bible and the Quran
teach that Jesus is not God. It is clear enough to
everyone that the Quran
denies the divinity of Jesus,
so we do not need to spend
much time explaining that.
On the other hand, many people misunderstand the
Bible; they feel that the belief
in Jesus as God is so
widespread that it must
have come from the Bible.
This article shows quite conclusively that the Bible
does not teach that.
The Bible clearly teaches that
Jesus is not God. In the Bible
God is always someone else
other than Jesus. Some will say that something
Jesus said or something he
did while on the earth
proves that he is God. We
will show that the disciples
never came to the conclusion that Jesus is God. And those
are people who lived and
walked with Jesus and thus
knew first hand what he
said and did. Furthermore,
we are told in the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible that the
disciples were being guided
by the Holy Spirit. If Jesus is
God, surely they should
know it. But they did not.
They kept worshipping the one true God who was
worshipped by Abraham,
Moses, and Jesus (see Acts
3:13).
All of the writers of the Bible
believed that God was not Jesus. The idea that Jesus is
God did not become part of
Christian belief until after the
Bible was written, and took
many centuries to become
part of the faith of Christians.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke,
authors of the first three
Gospels, believed that Jesus
