Many today argue against Christianity by saying that Jesus never claimed to be God explicitly nor made Himself equal to God. But with even surface level scrutiny we can immediately dismiss these claims. Today we will see from His own words how He claimed equality with God, claimed pre-existence, claimed a divine origin, did only the things God does and even explicitly said that He was the God revealed in the Old Testament.
