Are you serious?! Bible verses that disprove Gnosticism? That would only be ALL! the verses that teach Jesus is fully God the Son, fully deity in nature and substance. Here's a couple to get you started ... Consider 3 times, that Jesus clearly identified Himself as fully God, in His very nature and substance. His enemies clearly understood His words. So should you ?
When Jesus healed a paralyzed man, as told in Matthew Chapter 9, He told him, ?your sins are forgiven.? Jesus? enemies also heard Him, and called it blasphemy! Why? Only God can forgive sins, that is, release the eternal punishment our sins deserve. Notice! Jesus did not correct their ?misunderstanding?. Jesus? enemies clearly understood His claim to be the sin-forgiving, miracle-working Son of God. Do you?
Another time, Jesus called God His own Father, John 5:17-18. Again, did His enemies misunderstand that He was making Himself equal with God? No! Did Jesus even attempt to correct their misunderstanding? Not at all!
One more?actually, there are several more ?Jesus told His enemies, those who sought to kill Him, ?Destroy this temple and in 3 days I will raise it up.? John explains that Jesus was referring to the ?temple? of His body.? Only God can raise the dead and Jesus said He would raise Himself from the dead ~and then He did it ~ something no other religious leader, teacher or prophet ever did! Read John 2:19-21.
Here?s a bonus for you. Read Jesus? clearest statement of all that He was fully God in nature and substance at Luke 22:70 when He was on trial!
He can give you abundant life now and eternal life to come if you confess your sins to Him, turn from them and ask His forgiveness, trusting that He took the punishment your sins deserved on His cross.
Be sure to read the verses ~
