Jesus was “fully God”
We have 80 Scripture verses saying that Jesus is God, is equal to Father God,
is the Creator of all things, is the Sustainer now of all things, is the Giver of eternal life, etc.

But, Jesus depended on Father God’s words, instructions, etc.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
John 3:22 “And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies …”
Do verses such as 3:22 refer to Jesus in heaven? or Jesus on earth in prayer?
John 8:26 … I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”
John 8:28 “… I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.”
John 8:40 “… a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God.”
John 10:18 “This command I have received from My Father.”
John 14:31 “… and as My Father gave Me commandment, so I do.”
John 15:15 “… for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.”

And, Jesus depended on the Holy Spirit’s power to perform miracles
Matt. 12:28 “But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God …”
Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me …”
Luke 5:17 “… He (Jesus) was teaching … And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.”
Acts 10:38 “… how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power,
who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”

How are we to tell the world that Jesus is “fully God” when we are confronted with these verses?
