Why Jesus Cannot Be God (Scriptural Reasons)
Jesus distinguishes himself from God Jesus repeatedly refers to the Father as “the only true God” and speaks of himself as the one sent by God (e.g., Gospel of John 17:3).
Jesus prays to God and submits his will In Gethsemane, Jesus prays, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” God does not pray to God, nor submit His will to Himself (Gospel of Luke 22:42).
Jesus admits limited knowledge Jesus explicitly says he does not know the hour of the end—“not even the Son, but only the Father” (Gospel of Mark 13:32). Omniscience is a defining attribute of God.
Jesus acknowledges the Father’s greater authority Jesus states plainly, “The Father is greater than I” (Gospel of John 14:28). God cannot be greater than God.
Jesus is tempted, God cannot be tempted Scripture says God cannot be tempted (Epistle of James 1:13), yet Jesus is tempted in the wilderness.
Jesus dies, God is immortal Jesus suffers and dies, committing his spirit to God. Scripture consistently describes God as immortal and unchanging.
Jesus’ authority is delegated, not inherent Jesus says his teaching is not his own but comes from God who sent him (Gospel of John 7:16). He cannot grant positions of honor without the Father’s approval.
After the resurrection, Jesus still calls God “my God” Jesus tells Mary Magdalene, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, my God and your God” (Gospel of John 20:17).
“Messiah” never meant God “Messiah” (Hebrew Mashiach) means anointed one, not a divine being. Many people were called messiahs before Jesus (kings, priests, even Cyrus in Isaiah 45:1).
Early Jewish Christians (Nazarenes) did not believe Jesus was God The earliest followers of Jesus possessed the Gospel yet maintained Jewish monotheism, viewing Jesus as Messiah and mediator—not God Himself.
Conclusion
Scripture consistently presents Jesus as God’s Messiah, mediator, and servant, not God incarnate. The idea of Jesus as God arises later through theological development, not from Jesus’ own words or the Hebrew biblical framework.
