14 Bible Verses That Indicate Jesus Is Not God
Bible Verses That Indicate Jesus Is Not God The Creator
1. Matthew 24:36
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the Son , but the
Father only .
Here Jesus makes a distinction between what he knows
and what the Father knows.
2. Matthew 26:39
My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me, yet
not as I will, but as Thou will.
Jesus will is likewise autonomous from Gods Will.
Jesus is seeking acquiescence to Gods will.
3. John 5:26
For as the Father has life in Himself, so he has granted the Son
to have life in himself.
Jesus received his life from God. God received his life
from no one. He is eternally self-existent.
4. John 5:30
By myself, I can do nothing: I judge only as I hear, and my
judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who has
sent me.
Jesus says, by myself, I can do nothing. This indicates
that Jesus is relying upon his own relationship with
God. He is not trying to please myself but rather is
seeking to please the one who sent me.
5. John 5:19
The Son can do nothing by himself ; he can do only what he sees
the Father doing, because whatever the Father does, the Son does
also.
Jesus declares that he is following a pattern laid down
by God. He is expressing obedience to God.
6. Mark 10:18
Why do you call me good ? No one is good, except God alone .
Here Jesus emphatically makes a distinction between
himself and God.
7. John 14:28
The Father is greater than I.
This is another strong statement that makes a
distinction between Jesus and God.
8. Matthew 6:9
Our Father, which art in Heaven.
He didnt pray, Our Father, which art standing right
here!
9. Matthew 27:46
My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Inconceivable if he is God the Creator.
10. John 17:21-23
. . .that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me
and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may
believe that you have sent me. . ..that they may be one as we are
one : I in them and you in me.
In this prayer Jesus defines the term to be one. It is
clearly accomplished through the relationship of two
autonomous beings. Christian believers are to model
their relationship (to become one) after the
relationship of God and Christ (as God and Christ are
one). Notice that to be one does not mean to be one
and the same.
11. 1 Corinthians 15:27-28
For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says
that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this
does not include God himself , who put everything under Christ.
When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made
subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may
be all in all .
Paul declares that God put everything under Christ,
except God himself. Instead God rules all things
through Christ. (remember: through him all things
were made.)
12. Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of Gods glory and the exact
representation of his being.
Jesus is the exact representation of his being. I send my
representative to Congress. He is not me, myself. He is
my representative.
13. Hebrews 4:15 (compared with James 1:13)
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize
with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in
every way, just as we are yet without sin.
Jesus has been tempted in every way, just as we are,
yet he never sinned. See
James 1:13: When tempted, no one should say, God is tempting
me. For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt.
Jesus was tempted in every way, but God cannot be
tempted. This is why Jesus said, dont call me good,
none are good, only God.
14. Hebrews 5:7-9
During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and
petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save
him from death , and he was heard because of his reverent
submission. Although he was a son, he learned obedience from
what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source
of eternal salvation for all who obey him
Jesus had to walk a course of faith and obedience in
order to achieve perfection. By achieving perfection,
Jesus became the source of eternal salvation
