Misunderstanding: "Jesus is not God."

Truth: Jesus is God, the Second Person of the Trinity.

Jesus' own claims

He forgave sin. We may forgive sins committed against us, but we cannot forgive sins committed against others. Jesus forgave all sins. (Mark 2:7; Luke 5:21)

He claimed to be the divine Son of God, a title the Jews rightly understood to be a claim to equality with God. (John 5:17-18; John 10:30-33; John 19:7)
