Jesus Said He Was God
By A.W. Tozer0MAT 16:16JHN 1:1JHN 5:18JHN 8:58JHN 10:30JHN 14:9PHP 2:6COL 2:9HEB 1:3REV 1:8A.W. Tozer emphasizes the divinity of Jesus Christ, asserting that through His teachings and bold declarations, He clearly identified Himself as God, despite critics who claim otherwise. Tozer highlights that Jesus frequently referred to Himself as the 'Son of Man,' yet He also proclaimed His equality with the Father and His divine origin. This fundamental truth of Christ's deity unites Bible-believing Christians, regardless of differing views on other theological matters. Tozer calls for a careful and vigorous defense of this doctrine, affirming that Jesus is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being.

By Charles Finney0PSA 119:160PRO 30:5ISA 40:8MAT 5:18JHN 10:35ROM 15:41TH 2:132TI 3:16HEB 4:122PE 1:20Charles Finney expresses his deep concern over an article in the 'Supplement' of the Comprehensive Commentary that undermines the divine inspiration of the Bible, particularly the historical accounts in the New Testament. He argues that if the narratives of Christ's life are deemed uninspired, it casts doubt on the doctrinal teachings as well, leading to a spirit of infidelity among believers, especially the youth. Finney emphasizes that the supposed contradictions among the Gospel writers actually support their credibility, as they indicate no collusion. He urges ministers to address this issue within their congregations to prevent the spread of such dangerous ideas. Finney's call to action highlights the importance of defending the integrity of Scripture against misleading interpretations.
