Did Jesus claim to be God, or was that attributed to Him after his death? Ross and Mark discuss the authenticity of Jesus' claims to divinity, addressing the Mass Hallucination Theory and examining the Gospels. They argue that Jesus' use of the phrase "I am" and his teachings about fulfilling Old Testament prophecies revealed his divine nature, leading to confrontations with religious leaders and attempts on his life. Ultimately, Jesus' claim to be God was the primary reason for his trial and crucifixion, but his death and Resurrection proved his power over sin and death, solidifying his divine nature.
