JESUS CLAIMED TO BE GOD

Let's go back to the idea of Context in John 10. Look at verse 31. The Jews pick up stones to stone him. Why? because he was claiming to be God as in other passages.

Did Jesus say, "no, no, I did not mean that?"

He did not. Instead he continues to equate himself with God by saying, "“I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?”

Then the Jews are even more explicit about his claim to be God, when they say, "“For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.”

So it is absolutely undeniable that this is the understanding of what Jesus was teaching.

Again, if this was not the case, he could have clarified and said that he was not claiming to be God.

Instead, Jesus goes even deeper into the explanation that he is in fact claiming to be God by saying, "“Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”"

So he claims divinity by saying he is the Son of God, He says he does the works of the Father, equating himself with God again. Then nhe apealls to the fact that they should believe him on this teaching, and if not because of his teaching, they should believe because of his works, which he just said are the works of the Father.

So, there you have it. Jesus triple confirmed that he is God, and on the third confirmation, he said it 3 ways. Either you believe what Jesus said and that he proved who he was by his miracles, or you reject the revelation that God has given and reject God.
