There has to be proofs that He is God! - Well we do. What I have here is not sorted and not complete list. But I think I ahve enough. The God of the Old Testament is all-knowing 2.1 Jesus knows things that are hidden 2.1.1 He knows what’s in the mind of people Luke 5:22 But Jesus, aware of their reasonings, answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts? (cref. Ez 11:5) 2.1.2 He knows People’s name before He met them John 1:42 He brought him to Jesus.

The God of the OT is Holy 2.3 Jesus lived a perfect and holy life Heb. 7:26 ¶ For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens; The God of the OT has authority over all 2.4 Jesus exercised authority over the demons Mark 5:8 For He had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” Mark 5:9 And He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he *said to Him, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” Mark 5:10 And he began to implore Him earnestly not to send them out of the country

The God of the OT is not limited by nature 2.5 Jesus Defies Nature BY (doing the unnatural) The God of the OT healed the Israelites who were bitten if they look at the bronze snake on the cross. 2.5.1 Healing Matt. 4:24 ¶ The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them.

The God of the OT all of sudden appeared to Abraham by the oak tree. 2.5.6 Jesus all of a sudden appeared to His disciples inside a closed room. John 20:19 ¶ So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be with you.” John 20:26 ¶ After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them.

The God of the OT gave life to Adam 2.5.8 Jesus raised the dead (Jesus gave life to Lazarus) John 11:43 When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” (Cref. John 5:28-29) The God of the OT is everywhere present

2.6 Jesus was in more than one place at the same time when He was on earth as a man (CRef. Matt 18:20,Matt 28:20): 2.6.1 He was present with Nathaniel but physically He was somewhere else. John 1:48 Nathanael *said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 2.6.1 He was on earth and was in Heaven at the same time John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 2.6.2 After resurrection, He appeared to over 500 believers at the same time. 1Cor. 15:6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. The God of the OT Create the Heavens and Earth 2.7 Jesus CREATED food (bread and fish multiplied) to feed 5k people John 6:11 Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted.

Acts 22:7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Acts 22:8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 1Cor. 15:8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. The God of the OT has infinite wrath 2.9 Jesus paid the infinite wrath of God. John 19:30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. Therefore, as Paul concluded: Romans 9:5 whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. God is inifinite and only an infinite being (Jesus Christ) can pay an infinite wrath of God. Acts 13:23 From the descendants of this man, according to promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, There is no salvation in anything else but Jesus – the way the truth and the life; there is no one who can save man from the penalty of their sins but God Himself.
