Jesus claimed to be God (John 8:14)

John 8:14
Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going (NASB).

Why do some deny the Lord Jesus is God even though the Lord Jesus claimed that His testimony alone was to be believed (cf. Deuteronomy 17:6)?

I am not going to scrape the bottom the barrel to reply to such utter nonsense.
So instead of addressing my argument, you're just going to dismiss it as "that's just utter nonsense"? Is it not possible for God to share every thought he had with Jason?

No for that would mean that God created another God.

Your arguments follow absolutely no logical process. Can you logically demonstrate why God sharing his thoughts with someone would make them a God?

Not just His thoughts but "all His thoughts."
You conveniently left that out.

Big difference.

NIDNTT: Only God has infinite powers of knowledge and revelation (1:222, Blood, F. Laubach).

Ok. Can you logically demonstrate why God sharing (all of his) thoughts with someone would make them a God?

Who is F. Laubach and why should we give a damn about what he has to say?

The NIDNTT reads one way but you say another.

Your Greek credentials please.

Who's discussing Greek? Unless there is a particular Biblical text you are trying to translate, I fail to see how my Greek credentials are relevant. Is there a Biblical verse originally written in Greek that states that only God is omniscient?

Let me clue you in on something. The New Testament was originally written in Greek.

I know... Ok so back to my question. Can you give me a verse stating that only God is omniscient?

1 Kings 8:39
To fully know the hearts of all is the same thing as being omniscient.
See "B."
