He claimed to be the only son of God. He claimed that he would be killed and would raise from the dead.
gramme
(Feb 28 07, 12:52)Just to play devils advocate (tongue firmly in cheek) Jesus, who did certainly state these things and sought to inspire faith in his follwers in God and i nthe fact of his being the son thereof, on he cross dying uttered "Father why have you forsaken me" which to me is a giant statement of "Holy shit, i didn't see this coming..and hey! Where did you go! You left this bit out!" I mean if he knew he was going to die and rise up, why the forsaken statement? Who forsook him if he IS the embodiment off god on earth? If it was all neatly pre-ordained, why the moment of spiritual doubt.
Just saying. Either way, in all seriousness, it's one of the most sublime scenes in the NT for me. Made Jesus totally human to me...
