Re: Is my statement blasphemy to you?
Post #3BLASPHEMY is scripturally speaking abusively of that which is Holy and includes the act of claiming the attributes or prerogatives of God, or ascribing these to another person or thing. (Compare Ac 12:21, 22.). So yes claiming equality to Almighty God YHWH (Jehovah ) would indeed be blasphemous.

Post #5Your sentence is a little hard to read ... but are you implying that JESUS claimed equality with God?

Jesus said
"I and the Father are one."
"Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me."
"Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God"
Now pretend I said those things.
Why is it blasphemy when I say but not blasphemy when not God for you Jesus says it?

Post #7None of the verses you refer to above have Jesus claiming equality God, indeed Jesus was quite explicit about his position vis-a-vis to his Father.
