• John 1:1
• John 1:18
• John 20:28 
• Rom. 9:5
• Col. 2:2
• Titus. 2:13
• Heb. 1:8-9
• 2 Pet. 1:1 (See sources for others).

Out of these eight passages, three are found in John. Of these three, everyone acknowledges John 20:28 to be an unequivocal "deity-passage." Even a skeptic, Taylor, couldn't help but call the texts above "one clear ascription of Deity to Christ." What an acknowledgment this man gives in comparison to many professed Christian today.

Many tried to deny Jesus Christ was God incarnate. Their failure is equivalent to a man denying he was born. He may not know his birthday, but he can't deny his existence (see Hicks, Green; especially, Green's essay, "Jesus in the New Testament").

Read your Bible, the sources (below) to stimulate your thoughts, and add to the conversation in declaring the absolute Deity of Jesus: "The Logos was God." It's a treasure trove of biblical truth. CM

Study it carefully,
Think of it prayerfully,
Deep in thy heart let its pure precepts dwell.

Slight not its history,
Ponder its mystery
None can e'er prize it too fondly or well.

Accept the glad tidings,
The warnings and chidings,
Found in this volume of heavenly lore;
With faith that's unfailing
And love all-prevailing,
Trust in its promise of life evermore.

With fervent devotion
And thankful emotion,

Hear the blest welcome, respond to its call;
Life's purest oblation,
The heart's adoration,

Give to the Saviour, who died for us all.

May this message of love
From the Tribune above,

To all nations and kindreds be given,
Till the ransomed shall raise
Joyous anthems of praise—
Hallelujah on earth and in heaven.
