Most faithful Christians will tell you Jesus Christ is fully man and fully God.

0:04.6

But in a conversation with a Muslim or Jehovah's Witness, they might stumble when asked to prove this from the Bible.

0:10.4

So in today's episode, I'll share with you my four favorite ways of showing Jesus as God when I'm in these kinds of conversations.

0:17.2

But a few caveats before we continue.

time wrapping his head around the concept of Jesus being God's word, and a seasoned critic

1:16.6

might try to trip you up on the absence of the definite article in Greek in the passage, and

doctrine, starting with number one, John 2028. Instead of focusing on the beginning of John's gospel,

1:40.1

I like to focus on the end of it. Here's the passage in context. Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house,
