Does the Bible really say that Jesus is God?



Forgiver of Sin



God



Exodus 34:6-7



6 (Ro 2:4; Ne 9:17; Ps 86:15) The Lord passed by before him,

and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious,

slow to anger, and abounding in goodness and truth,

7 (Ex 20:5-6; Job 10:14) keeping mercy for thousands,

forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,

but who will by no means clear the guilty,

visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children

and on the children's children,

to the third and the fourth generation."



[6] And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD

God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and

truth,

[7] Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and

sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of

the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the

third and to the fourth generation.



Nehemiah 9:17



17 (Ps 78:11; 86:5) They refused to obey and were not mindful of Your wonders

that You performed among them. But they hardened their necks and in their

rebellion appointed a leader to return to their bondage. But You are a God

ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding

in kindness, and did not forsake them.



[17] And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou

didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed

a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon,

gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest

them not.



Daniel 9:9



9 (Ps 130:4; Jer 14:7) To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness,

though we have rebelled against Him.

[9] To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have

rebelled against him;



Jonah 4:2



2 He prayed to the Lord and said, "O Lord! Is this not

what I said while I was still in my own land?

This is the reason that I fled before to Tarshish,

because I knew that You are a gracious God and merciful,

slow to anger, abundant in faithfulness, and ready to relent from punishment."



[2] And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this

my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto

Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to

anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.



Jesus



Mark 2:1-12



The Healing of a Paralytic



Mt 9:1-8; Lk 5:17-26



1 (Mt 9:1) Again, He entered Capernaum after some days.

And it was reported that He was in the house.

2 (Mk 1:45; 2:13) Immediately many were gathered together,

so that there was no room to receive them, not even at the door.

And He preached the word to them.

3 (Lk 5:18-26) They came to Him bringing one sick with paralysis,

who was carried by four men.

4 (Lk 5:19) When they could not come near Him due to the crowding,

they uncovered the roof where He was. When they had broken it open,

they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.

5 (Mt 9:2; 9:22) When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic,

"Son, your sins are forgiven you."

6 But some of the scribes were sitting there, reasoning in their hearts,

7 (Isa 43:25; Mk 14:64; Jn 10:36) "Why does this Man speak such blasphemies?

Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

8 Immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they so reasoned

within themselves, He said to them, "Why do you contemplate these things

in your hearts?

9 Which is easier to say to the paralytic: 'Your sins are forgiven you,'

or to say, 'Rise, take up your bed and walk'?

10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth

to forgive sins," He said to the paralytic,

11 "I say to you, rise, and take up your bed, and go your way to your house."

12 (Mt 9:8; 9:33) Immediately he rose, picked up the bed, and went out

in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God,

saying, "We never saw anything like this!"



[1] And again he entered into Capernaum, after some days; and it was noised

that he was in the house.

[2] And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no

room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the

word unto them.

[3] And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne

of four.

[4] And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered

the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed

wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

[5] When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy

sins be forgiven thee.

[6] But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in

their hearts,

[7] Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God

only?

[8] And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned

within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your

hearts?

[9] Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be

forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

[10] But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive

sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

[11] I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine

house.

[12] And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them

all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never

saw it on this fashion.





Acts 26:18



18 (Ac 20:32; 1Pe 2:9; Isa 35:5) to open their eyes and to turn them from

darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive

forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified

by faith in Me.'



[18] To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from

the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and

inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.



Colossians 2:13



13 (Eph 2:1; Jas 2:26) And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision

of your flesh, He has resurrected together with Him, having forgiven you all

sins.



[13] And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh,

hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;



Colossians 3:13



13 (Eph 4:32; Mk 11:25; Eph 4:2) Bear with one another and forgive one

another. If anyone has a quarrel against anyone, even as Christ forgave you,

so you must do.



[13] Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a

quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
