Deity - Questions and Answers

~
Why does Yeshua have to be G-d?

If G-d is immortal then why did Yeshua die? G-d is eternal and cannnot die 1 Tim 1:17.

Who does Yeshua pray too? Himself?

If G-d can't be tempted, then why was Yeshua? James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

Why did Yeshua claim he wasn't G-d in the Gospel of John? John 1 does not say "Jesus was God who came to earth and died of us", nor does John 1 say: "God took on human form".

Didn’t Isaiah the prophet states more than once that G-d is the only saviour? G-d saves through His agents.

Salvation itself was provided by G-d. If Yeshua can forgive sin, then does this not make him 'G-d'? If this was the case then the disciples are 'G-d' too, since they also forgave sins. Yeshua said that he forgave sins on the basis of authority, not on the basis of personal power. Note what He said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the son does likewise John 5:19.

And

And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.Matthew 28:18

Did Yeshua raise himself from the dead? “When you were buried with the Messiah in immersion, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of YHVH, Who raised him from the dead” (Colossians 2:12).

And

If you declare with your mouth that Yeshua is master, and believe in your heart that YHVH raised him from the dead, you will be redeemed (Romans 10:9).
