I have even heard here at TJ, that Jesus is not God. I , for one, this is evidence that Jesus is exactly who he said he was.
- God is the "I Am"! Exodus 3: 14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
- Jesus is the "I Am":
John 6: 35 I am the bread of life
John 8: 12 I am the light of the world
John 8: 58 Before Abraham was, I am
John 10:9 I am the door
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd
John 11:25 I am the resurrection and the life
John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life
John 15:1 I am the true vine

I believe that the words "I Am" are two of the most powerful words a believer can say because they will lock them in with the Father. God is therefore I am. Claiming these promises these words of the bible will have the effect of clarifying (perfecting) our awareness of our identity with Divinity which conceives and controls all the details of our lives by faith.
Then to answer a post below....Jesus did say "I and the Father are one" In John 1:1 it says In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word (Jesus) was with God and the Word (Jesus) was God.
That means unequivocally that Jesus is God.
