Did Jesus REALLY Claim to Be God? With surveys showing nearly half of evangelicals questioning Jesus’s divinity, we’re tackling this crucial topic. In this episode of Remnant Radio, we explore Christian theology through a historical lens with Dr. Mikel Del Rosario from Moody Bible Institute. We unpack Dr. Del Rosario’s book on Jesus’s bold divine claims—examining key scenes in Mark’s Gospel, addressing skeptic challenges from scholars like Bart Ehrman, and affirming the historicity of Jesus’s divine declarations. Discover how Jesus’s miracles, authority, and role as eschatological judge set him apart, incorporating him into Israel’s Godhead as Yahweh incarnate. Learn HOW to defend the deity of Christ with courage and compassion! 0:00 – Introduction 1:38 – Book Overview 5:52 – Historical Methodology and Authenticity 10:36 – Mark 2: Forgiving Sins as Blasphemy 14:11 – Mark 14: Jesus's Trial and Divine Claim 19:03 – Why Emphasize Mark Over John 24:22 – Implicit vs. Explicit Divine Claims 29:21 – Historicity of Jesus's Jewish Examination 33:04 – Jesus Distinct from Old Testament Prophets 39:31 – Evangelical Confusion on Christ's Deity 45:35 – Countering Modern Skeptical Arguments 51:06 – Personal Application and Closing ABOUT THE GUEST: |
