Many people believe Jesus to be God because of what He said about Himself and because of what His life revealed. 

According to the New Testament biographies of Jesus seen in the Gospels, Jesus claimed to be the Son of God and the Son of man. He was also one with God which makes Him God. He claimed to be “I am that I am”.

Jesus was one with God the Father. More info here.

Jesus came from outside of this world. Read about it here.

Jesus knew physical hunger and thirst. We see this in the New Testament Gospel of Matthew, chapter 4 where Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights. 

Jesus also thirsted when He was on the cross. Read about it here.

When Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman at the well, as seen in the Gospel of John chapter 4, He spoke of satisfied thirst through eternal waters. And He spoke of “having meat to eat that you don’t understand about” when His disciples asked Him if He was hungry. Read about it here.

By reading the New Testament Gospels, we know that Jesus ate and drank. Obviously, He knew thirst and hunger. In John 21, He cooked fish for His disciples.

Jesus practiced many Jewish traditions that related to the Old Testament Bible. For example, He ate the Passover Supper.

The New Testament Bible suggests that Jesus did believe in certain traditions if they pointed to the Father, to truth. But He did not believe in all traditions. And He did not believe in tradition for tradition’s sake. On the contrary, He often rebuked the religious leaders of the day (Pharisees and Sadducees) for following vain tradition while their hearts were far from God.

He also broke some traditions at different times. For example, He was accused of plucking corn on the Sabbath day which was forbidden by law (and thus became traditional).

According to the New Testament Bible, Jesus talked to people of different ethnic backgrounds. For example, in the New Testament Gospel of John chapter 4, He spoke with a Samaritan woman. See here.

In Matthew 15, He spoke with a Canaanite (or Syrophonecian) woman.

The term or word “Rabbi” means teacher. People referred to Jesus as “Rabbi” because they saw Him as their teacher. It was a term of respect that meant teacher. Jesus taught like no one else.

Jesus taught the words that His heavenly Father gave Him to speak. He did not speak His own thoughts only but those the Father gave Him to speak. We see this in the New Testament Gospel of John, chapter 17. He taught words of life, the Word of God. Thus He was the teacher of teachers. 

Sometimes the things that Jesus taught offended people because they revealed the depth of wrong thinking in their hearts. In the New Testament Gospel of John chapter 6, verse 66, some people turned back from following Him because they found His sayings hard.

Jesus often said, “Let him who has ears hear.” This spoke of the inner understanding. We can have ears but not hear what Jesus is saying.

He also taught often in parables, relating truth to the people’s way of life or tradition. Sometimes He explained the parables, such as in the New Testament Gospel of Matthew chapter 13. Other times He did not explain.

Many people consider Jesus to be the finest teacher that ever existed. His teachings can be found in the New Testament Bible. Many people still follow Jesus teachings today.

The New Testament Bible suggests that Jesus was a very good teacher.

He taught words of life, the Word of God. Thus He was the teacher of teachers. Jesus taught the words that His heavenly Father gave Him to speak. He did not speak His own thoughts only but He spoke the Words the Father gave Him to speak. We see this in the New Testament Gospel of John, chapter 17.

Jesus taught words of life, the Word of God. Thus He was the teacher of teachers.

Absolutely not. Jesus was not a trickster, and He didn't do magic.

There is nothing in the Bible to suggest Jesus was a trickster doing magic. The New Testament Bible shows that Jesus performed miracles which people could not explain. Therefore some people may think he was doing tricks. But Jesus stated His miracles were done by the power of His heavenly Father, God.

Furthermore, Jesus was (and is) truth and light. He cannot lie and does not deceive or trick people. 

No, Jesus never lied. He was, and is, the personification of truth and does not lie. If He had lied, He could not have been sinless and His death on the cross could not have paid for our sins.

There is nothing in the New Testament Bible to suggest Jesus ever lied. On the contrary, since He obeyed His heavenly Father, we believe He did not lie. Jesus sometimes called the Pharisees and religious leaders who did not believe in Him as being liers, from the father of lies, the devil.

As God’s son, and without sin, Jesus did not lie. Jesus had no sin of His own and therefore He did not lie.

The New Testament Bible does not show anything to suggest Jesus thought or taught that women were inferior to men. Jesus honored women inasmuch as He listened to them, ate with them and considered many women to be His friends or followers.
