this is what I wrote: teacher did not like it :-

Christianity is unique among world religions, and Jesus Christ’s true uniqueness is the centerpiece of christianity. The truth about Christ is based primarily on the New Testament documents which have been shown elsewhere to be authentic. Jesus Christ was unique in that he alone, of all who ever lived, was both God and man. In the Old Testament it’s predicted that Christ would die for our sins. Christ was not only supernaturally anticipated; He was also miraculously conceived. Paul exclaims, “of all human conceptions, Jesus’ stands as unique and miraculous. The Bible declares that Christ lived without sin and died as a substitute for the salvation of sinners. The Bible further declares that Jesus was buried and on the third day arose from the dead and ascended into Heaven where He makes intercession at the right hand of God the Father. Jesus Christ affirmed his deity:

(1) He applied to Himself the statement of Jehovah, “I am”. This affirmation is taken from the root word for “Jehovah,” “I am that I am”. The Jews did not misunderstand His claim. They knew that Jesus was claiming full deity, and they tried to stone Him.

(2) Jesus claimed to be identical with the Father.

(3) He asserted His omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence.

(4) Jesus received and approved of human worship.

(5) He forgave sins.

(6) He made Jehovahistic statements, “I am”-i.e., bread, light, the door, the way, the truth and the life, resurrection and life,- hence identifying Himself with God. Obviously, Jesus took Himself extremely seriously. Why? Because He understood who He was. There is no doubt that Jesus claimed to be God and told others that He was God.
