Did Jesus Ever Claim to be God?

Did Jesus Ever Claim to be God?

The question of Jesus' deity was formally settled by the early church at the Council of Nicea in A.D. 325.  Yet I still find this vital doctrine challenged by many people today.  Often times this rejection of truth comes from critics of Christianity who seek to...
