Why callest ME Good...none Good but God??
newgene87:
ok, this is not a question on the "divinity" of Jesus. not at all. this IS one that is used to attack His divinity but listening to Ray's audio on Jesus is God reassured me today :D. but i dont recall him expounding on this verse, and this verse has ALWAYS made me wonder why did Jesus even say this??
"And He said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One, God" (Mat 19:17)
"But Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One, God" (Mar 10:18)
"But Jesus said to him, Why do you say Me to be good? No one is good, except One: God" (Luk 18:19)
All 3 Gospels say the same thing and why does Jesus appear to deny he's good and mentions God is the only good one... when He is God?? Or better yet, "Emmanuel" God with us (Mat 1:23). It seems the ruler or the rich young man (whichever one) was acknowledging Jesus as the True Messiah, yet Jesus appears to deny it. and it "appears" (there go appears again) that this contradicts Philippians 2:6 " who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal to God, ". He's equal to God, why even make this remark?? Regardless, i'm going to my family on this, i'm always seeking to learn the Truth on matters like this. I put "appear" intentionally so yall could scold me down with wisdom and truth 8). If this was already discussed, Kat, i'm already counting on you to send me that handy dandy link to fix me right up ;) :D. I would appreciate all the replies. Love all of you!

Christ had the same sinfull flesh we have. Romans 8:3

Might add that the reason Christ didn't sin was because he had the full measure of his Father John 3:34. Christ could only say and do what he heard the Father say and do. John 5:19-20

but how is that direct relation in him saying he's not good?? I mean, He even says that HE is the One Master - Mat 23:8 - and it was revealed from the father for Peter to call him the Christ (Mar 8:29). So to just say he had the same sinful flesh we have is to say he was a sinner....or it's a thin line to say it ???.

Perhaps it's simply humility. Doesn't the scripture state He was made 'a little lower' than the angels for the suffering of death? [Heb 2:9].
