Most Versions of the Bible wrongly capitalize the word “God” in
Hebrews 1:8 hebrews-1-8
and elsewhere. In a sense, the answer is also Yes
because Jesus is called “god” in the Bible. The answer is No because Jesus is
never called “God” in the same way as is the Father, who Jesus himself referred
to as “the only true God” (John 17:3 John+17-3
). There is only one “capital-G” God, and that is the Father (1 Cor. 8:6 1Cor.8
6 ). And, as we will see, Jesus is far and away the best of all the
“small-g” gods.
Jesus is called “god” in the Bible? Yes, and so are Satan, Moses,
the spiritual leaders of
So let’s look into the answer to this
frequently asked question, starting in John 10:25-39 John+10-39
. For the sake of brevity, and because the scriptures I will cite are covered
in our book, One God & One Lord: Reconsidering the
Cornerstone of the Christian Faith, I will paraphrase (and
perhaps colloquialize) some of them. On this Biblical
Unitarian website, you can go to “An Explanation of Verses Sometimes Used to
Support the Trinity” and see what we say about the verses I mention or click on
the hyper links for further study.
In John 10, the Jews were bugging Jesus to tell them once and for
all if he was the Messiah, and he replied by saying (v. 25ff) that it should
have been obvious to them by the miracles he did. He then drew a parallel
between him and his Father (vv. 28,29), saying that no
one could snatch a chosen one from either of their hands. His next statement
has been too often wrenched from its context and grossly misinterpreted: “I and
my Father are one.” How so? Clearly, in the sense that he
just stated.
The Jews, very dissatisfied with Jesus’ answer, picked up stones
to kill him, whereupon Jesus asked them which miracle they didn’t like. “It’s
not the miracles,” they said, “it’s that you, a man, claim to be a god.” That
is the proper translation of the verse, but nearly all Bible versions
mistranslate it as “…claim to be God,” and, without a shred of textual
justification, the NIV goes so far as to add in the adjective “mere” before the
word “man.” Both of those translational foibles serve only to confuse people
about this classic and critical section of Scripture. No Jew in his right mind
would have said that Jesus was claiming to be God (Yahweh).
Had they thought that, they would have dismissed him as demented. They all knew
that the Messiah was to be a man, but they had it in for Jesus and refused to
believe that he was that man.
Had Jesus been “God” in the sense that most Christians today think
he is, this was his golden opportunity to make that clear: “You’re right—I am
God.” Instead, quoting from Psalm 82 Psalm+82
, he said, “Hold it, doesn’t the Old Testament call the judges of
Look at Psalm 82—it’s only eight verses, and is talking about
God’s evaluation of those He had called to lead
Let’s look at a couple of other places in the Old Testament where
the Messiah is referred to as “god.” The first is Isaiah 9:6—Merry Christmas!
Sure, you’ve no doubt seen a card with that verse on it. Too bad the word “god”
is once again wrongly capitalized. The Messiah would not be the mighty “God,”
he would be the mighty “god.” The Moffatt Bible
and Martin Luther’s translation read “mighty hero” rather than “mighty God.”
That is a very accurate rendering, because, as the ultimate representative of
God, the Messiah would be the hero of all heroes. And Jesus was exactly that!
He perfectly represented God’s heart to mankind. He is the “god” called for in
Psalm 82:8.
How about Psalm 45, another prophecy about the Messiah—this
one about him riding forth victoriously to conquer and then rule the earth as
God’s perfect representative.
Verses 6 and 7 are quoted in Hebrews 1:8 and 9, which is where we will go next.
Sad to say that in verse 6 the word “god” is once again mis-capitalized as “God.” No, like Psalm 82 and
Isaiah 9:6, this psalm is also speaking of the Man among men, the one whom God
would empower to restore His lost
OK, let’s look at Hebrews 1, and the context of the quote from Psalm 45. For the record,
Hebrews 1 and 2 are a trenchant account of Jesus Christ’s journey from
suffering to glory, emphasizing why he had to be a man (the Last Adam) in order
to be the Redeemer of mankind. They are covered in detail in Chapters 2 and 3
of our One God & One Lord book.
Hebrews 1:1-3 shows how God did His best in Old Testament times to communicate
to mankind via the spoken and written words of the prophets, but what He really
had in mind was Jesus, His ultimate image. Verse 4 then begins a most
significant analogy between Jesus and the angels that goes all the way through
Chapter 2.
Verses 5, 6, and 7, each quoting an Old Testament reference, are
speaking about the resurrection of Jesus Christ (v. 5—it’s not about his
birth—look at Ps. 2:7 & Acts 13:33) and his return to the earth to rule (v.
6). Verse 8 clarifies that Psalm 45:6 and 7 are a Messianic prophecy, but the
translators once again mis-capitalize “god” as “God.”
But look at verse 9! It says, “…therefore God, even your God, has set you above
your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.” Say, if one is God, how
can anyone else be his “God”? That should be a more frequently asked
question! In agreement with many other verses of Scripture, Hebrews 1:9 is clearly saying that because Jesus Christ suffered and
died, God raised him from the dead and highly exalted (anointed) him as Lord.
Another pertinent verse is John 20:28, where Thomas cried out upon
first seeing the resurrected Christ: “My Lord and my God.” Many people use that
verse to prove that Jesus is God, but it does not, for two reasons. The first
is that the Bible is not stating that Jesus is God,
the Bible is stating that Thomas called Jesus “God.” And the second reason is
that “God” should be “god.” As a Jew, Thomas was familiar with that usage of
the word “god.”
So, the Bible does refer to Jesus as “god,” but only in the sense
of his being the perfect representative of the only true God, his Father and
his God. Neither God nor Jesus ever said that he is God. Both call him the Son
of God. Amen.
