Two apostolic confessions of Christ's deity that stood out in my mind this week were Peter's in Mt. 16:16 ("Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God") and Thomas' in John 20:28 ("My Lord and my God"). Then another came to mind: Nathanael's in John 1:49 ("Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel"). Finally, I decided to check the gospels for all the affirmations of Christ's deity or identity while he was still upon earth. Here is what I've come up with so far and the specific titles given to Jesus. If you have any others to add, please let me know and I will credit you accordingly.
