#190 - Did Jesus Claim Divinity? Alex O’Connor Says ‘No Way’ on Flagrant

In this episode Brandon Fogal examines Alex O'Connor's claim that Jesus never explicitly said he was God, using clips from a recent discussion with Andrew Schulz. The conversation covers John’s "I am" statements, translation and language issues, the disciples’ testimony, and skepticism about events like the triumphal entry.
Brandon responds that Jesus did claim divinity in the New Testament but often kept it low-key because of the Roman political context and his mission to the cross, and he highlights the difference between head knowledge and heartfelt faith.
