Here are some responses to chapter 7 questions.1. Some people say that Jesus never claimed to be God, do you think he did? There are numerous examples of Jesus claiming to be God. He referred to himself as "I am" and that he existed before Abraham. He also said that "I and the Father are one".
2. Can you list some clues that Jesus viewed himself as God? Jesus had 12 Apostles that indicate that Jesus view himself as God leading the 12 tribes of Israel. Jesus forgave sins even if they weren't against Him.
3. What are some examples of things that Jesus did that were very different from the way a normal Rabbi would teach? When Jesus said "Verily, Verily I say..." He was teaching by his own authority. Rabbis didn't ever teach by there own authority because they felt you needed at least two witnesses to agree. Jesus was basically saying that since He was God he didn't need any other witnesses to agree with Him.
