tired, as in John 4/6, God does not experience fatigue at all: "Neither faints nor is
weary." (Isaiah 40/28)
If it is claimed "that Christ died" (1 Corinthians 15/3, John 19/33, Romans 5/6,
14/9), "yielded up His spirit" (Matthew 27/50), and was allegedly killed, "The God of
our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered" (Acts 5/30), God never
dies: "And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like
corruptible man." (Romans 1/23); "Are You not from everlasting, O Lord my God,
my Holy One? We shall not die." (Habakkuk 1/12); "who alone has
immortality" (1 Timothy 6/16); "For He is the living God, and steadfast forever;
His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed." (Daniel 6/26); "He is the
living God and the everlasting King." (Jeremiah 10/10); "Now see that I, even I,
am He, And there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive;… And say, 'As
I live forever.'" (Deuteronomy 32/39-40); "'As I live,' says the Lord God." (Ezekiel
18/3); and "But You are the same, and Your years will not fail." (Hebrews 1/12).
If people saw Christ and heard his voice, "No one has seen God at any time." (John
1/18); "whom no man has seen or can see." (1 Timothy 6/16); and "You have
neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form." (John 5/37) This clearly
proves beyond any doubt that Christ was not God.
Furthermore, if Christ "was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before
its shearer is silent, so He opened not His mouth" (Acts 8/32), "a Lamb as it had
been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of
God sent forth into all the earth" (Revelation 5/6, 17/14), despite the fact that he
said, "Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep?" (Matthew 12/12),
he is then in no way like God: "There is no one like the God of
Jeshurun" (Deuteronomy 33/26); "O Lord, there is none like You, nor is there any
God besides You." (Chronicles 17/20).
If Matthew 17/2 claims that Christ "was transfigured" in front of his disciples,
God "with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning" (James 1/17); "For
I am the Lord, I do not change." (Malachi 3/6).
If Christ is described as being poor, as we read in Matthew 8/20, "And Jesus said to
him, 'Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has
nowhere to lay His head," the kingdom "is the Lord's, and He rules over the
nations. All the prosperous of the earth shall eat and worship; all those who
go down to the dust shall bow before Him." (Psalm 22/28-29)
