When looking at the promises in the Old Testament that point forward to the coming of the Messiah, we see that in many places the one to come is said to be God himself.

The word “Trinity” doesn’t have to be in the Bible for it to be true

The absence of the word “Trinity” in the Bible is no more a problem for Christians than the absence of the word “tawhid” in the Qur’an is for Muslims. Words do not create truth; they help us describe it. The Trinity names the one God revealed as Father, Son, and Spirit — eternally loving and relational. This is not a puzzle but a window into God’s heart, revealed in Jesus, who invites us into God’s family forever.

Where did Jesus say I am God, worship me?

The fact that Jesus is God is one of the clearest truths of the New Testament with many verses attesting to the fact that Jesus is not only 100% human but also 100% divine.

Did Jesus Know the Hour of his return?

Muslims love to reference Mark 13:32 as a clear indication that Jesus never claimed to be God. Reading the verse out of context and without a wider understanding of the incarnation, does seem at first reading to support the Muslim view. However, on further study, we see there is no contradiction between Jesus claiming to be God and claiming not to know the hour of his return.

The Deity of Jesus in Mark’s Gospel

Although being one of the earliest parts of the New Testament to be written, Mark’s Gospel shows us clearly that Jesus is God. This counters the claim that John’s Gospel’s view of Jesus was a later development by Christians. According to Mark, Jesus is none other than the LORD himself.
