Links:

• Glen’s Write up on his blog
• Questions (paraphrased) from the dialogue (links to the question in the YouTube video):
  • God has no beginning or end, so how is Jesus God, if he had both a beginning and end.
  • Why in the Bible does Jesus refer to Himself as the Son of Man. Where does Jesus claim he is God?
  • In Matt 15:25, Jesus states he was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel, how can he have come for the whole world?
  • If we are all children of God, does that mean we are all the sons and daughters of God?
  • How can Jesus be God when he did things God wouldn’t do (eat, sleep etc)
  • Is Jesus really the only begotten son? (looking at Psalm 2)
  • Matt 26:39, Jesus fell to his face and prayed. Who’s He praying to? Himself?
  • Why do you believe God has had to kill a part of himself to forgive us?
  • Did Jesus stop being God when he became man?
  • Can you give some Categorical evidence of where Jesus claimed to be God?
• Reading Between the Lines videos so far
