What makes a man God?? Permit me to qualify that question, I mean to ask what qualifications must a man have in order to be considered a God.
1.
Someone told me that Jesus was obviously a God because he performed miracles.
But according to the bible, Jesus was not the only person to perform miracles, Paul, Peter, Prophet Samuel Moses, Paul, Peter, Jeremiah, Isiah, Ezra etc performed miracles. So obviously if it takes performing miracles for one to be called a God, now all these other people would fall under that category.
2. Jesus was a God because he 'rose' from the dead.
If it takes 'rising from the dead' for a man to be considered a God then Lazarus would be considered a God as well. Now some of you will say well, Lazarus was raised from the dead by Jesus and I will say that Jesus was raised from the dead by God.
3. Jesus was a God because he died on the cross and 'atoned' for our sins.
The fact that a man is crucified and allegedly dies for the sins of other men is not proof enough that the man is a God.
In conclusion, the crux of the matter is that I believe it is impossible to state categorically without proof that the above qualifications made Jesus a God.
