Remember “HANDS” When Arguing for Jesus’ Deity

Author Amy K. Hall Published on 05/10/2014

Does the Bible teach that Jesus is God? Over at Come Reason’s Apologetics Notes, Lenny Esposito has a summary of the acronym “HANDS” given in the book Putting Jesus in His Place: The Case for the Deity of Christ (by Rob Bowman and Ed Komoszewski):

1. Jesus shares the HONORS due only to God.

2. Jesus shares the ATTRIBUTES of God.

3. Jesus shares the NAMES that are used of God.

4. Jesus shares in the DEEDS that only God can do.

5. Jesus shares the SEAT of God—that is, Jesus sits on God’s throne.

Read a brief overview of each of these categories on Lenny’s post or get all the details in Putting Jesus in His Place.
