Mark, Matthew, and Luke are all silent about it, though,
deeming that fact not sufficiently important to mention.
MatthewMat 1:23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth
and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted
is,God withus.Mat 8:29And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do
with thee,Jesus, thou Son ofGod? art thou come hither to tormentus before the
time?Mat 26:63-64 (KJV)
63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said
unto him,63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said
I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be
theChrist, the Son of God.
64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto
you,64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto
Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of
power, andcoming in the clouds of heaven.

Satan thought because Jesus had set aside his Glory in heaven, to
become aSatan thought because Jesus had set aside his Glory in heaven, to
man such as us, that he was therefore as weak as man who had a
sinful nature,could then tempt Jesus in his weakened state. Jesus did not yield
in anymanner, and flat out told him, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord THY
God".I see no reason to add more verses of these men recognizing that
Jesus wasGod, as these are more than enough. And I would bet that you knew
of all ofthese verses before you even posted this thread.

Israelis, There as a stake lifted up with a brass snake upon it and
they weretold if they looked upon that snake, they would be healed.
Afterwards, theykept the snake for remembrance sake, but it turned into an object
of worship,an Idol which man worshipped. Yet it had no power, but the Jews did
not care.Finally a wise king destroyed the artifact as it took the minds of
people offGod and the Idol became god to them.

the samemanner of idolatry. Yet it will not scare away zombies, Dracula,

for thetime of deliverance. Neither object has any power. Yet many lose
what littlefaith in God they had, when they tightly hold the cross, gave the
sign of thecross or prayed to it, only to see nothing
change for the better.
Beautiful, Robert. You've thrown every insubstantial straw you couldchange for the better.
think of. Matthew 1:23 is one of my favorites, as he's citing one of
Isaiah's prophecies and claiming it predicts Jesus. My guess is that
you know the prophecy, but just in case you don't, here's what
happened:
Ahaz: "OMG, those fuckers in Israel and Aram are gonna gang up on my
ass! I need to ask the Assyrian emperor for help!"
Isaiah: "Nah, you don't need to ask him for nuthin. Listen, King, a
young woman (NOT virgin) is gonna birth a kid and before that little
fucker is outta diapers, you ain't gonna have shit to worry about
from those assholes in Israel and Aram."
And it came true. Not long after that, Assyria invaded Israel and
Aram without Ahaz even asking them for help.
And the kid was named Immanuel, which means "God is with us", not
"God with us" as the lying christers translated it. That is, God was
with the Judeans and rescued them from Israel and Aram.
And Luke 4?? You're stretching the crap out of it. Read the previous
two temptations. Jesus references God in his responses without giving
any indication he thought it was him. To claim that's what he meant
in his response to the third temptation is ludicrous.
And the other verses you cited call Jesus the son (capital not in
original) of God, not God. Yes, of course the synoptic authors "knew"
he was the son of God. And exactly when he became God's son is
another interesting story.
It went through an evolution, and we have scriptural references for
each stage. Initially, Jesus became God's son at his resurrection.
Then it was at his baptism. Then later it was his conception. Then
he'd existed as God's son before he was born. And finally, he became
God himself. The synoptics were written after the first step had
passed to the second, but the authors still reference the first in
some verses. Off the top of my head, I can think of one in Acts, but
there are others.
