If Jesus fulfills predictions about Yahweh, does this mean that he’s Yahweh?
If Jesus fulfills predictions about Yahweh, does this mean that he’s Yahweh?
Do Matthew, Mark, and Luke discreetly but clearly imply that Jesus is God?

Can we establish on historical grounds that the historical Jesus thought that he was God?

If Jesus is referred to using the word “theos” (God) in the New Testament, does this imply that he is fully divine?
