I am a Christian who does not accept or follow Christianity.

Jesus said He was God. And others in the Bible said He was God.

I do not believe that Jesus said that He is God. I do not believe that others said that He is God.

I do not believe that Jesus said that He is God. I do not believe that others said that He is God.

John 20:28
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.”

 

[JacobMartinMertens]

John 20:28
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.”

I don't know who Thomas said My Lord to, but my God was either to God or Jesus.

Because the Bible says that we are to have faith in Jesus.

the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.


when the Word became flesh, He did not cease being the Word.

You may have to go back to the Greek. But I do not know Greek.

Jesus is the Word made flesh.

John 17:5 NASB20 - "And now You, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world existed.

And Jesus said He was His Father. You don't have to completely grasp it; just believe it because the Bible says it.
John 10:30
“I and my Father are one.”

Thomas was speaking to Jesus when he called Jesus “my God”

No. Jesus is not His own Father.

John 20:17 NASB20 - Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"

John 17:5 NASB20 - "And now You, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world existed.

Jesus is Lord and the Son of God.

If so, what did he mean by saying so. And or or was he correct?

 

[oyster67]

No. Jesus is not His own Father.

You are thinking in terms of earthly things. The Trinity is a Heavenly thing.

 

[JacobMartinMertens]

I don't believe so, to both of these.

 

[gb9]

as a Jewish man, for Thomas to call Jesus God would have to be admitting he equated Jesus with Yahwah.

 

[oyster67]

I don't believe so, to both of these.

We must pray about your unbelief then. Neither God nor the Bible can be faulted for the unbelief of @JacobMartinMertens

God's name is Yahveh. Or, Yahweh if you follow the ancient paleo a certain way. In any case, God's name is made up of the Hebrew letters YOD HEY VAV HEY. Or, YOD HEY WAW HEY. I read the vav in the modern Hebrew of the Torah text. I don't know how to pronounce God's name.

Do you believe the following?

Psalm 82:6 KJV - I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High.

John 10:34 KJV - Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

I believe in God and Jesus. Your prayers are coveted, but only the truth will win.

I do not believe that Jesus is God.

I am not expressing any disbelief. I believe that God is one. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I don't know if that means that Jesus is Deity or not.

you ignored my question.

for Thomas to call Jesus God, he would be putting Him onto the same level as Yahweh.

Note the small "g" and the plural form. That matters.

You are expressing disbelief in the Deity of Christ. Jeepers.
