Hello Clough!
Thank you for your answer. Actually I would like to know which division of Christianity thinks what, and which religion thinks what. What do Muslims say? Do Jeovah's Witnesses think Jesus IS God?

Did you read some of the answers on the other thread? Did you also take a look at the very end of the thread?

Before people would answer this type of question, it really would help if you would post what you think first as to whether or not Jesus said he was God and also why you are asking the question. Thank you!

A short answer is no, nether Muslims or Jeovah's Witnesses teach that Jesus is God. Check out the link that Clough pointed out to see how this very question was answered.

I did read that thread. I also did look at the end of the thread.

I am interested in the official view of the seperate churches. Anglicans and Protestants? Roman Catholic? etc, etc.

I am asking the question simply because I am confused. I am of Roman Catholic background and my teachings never included anything about Jesus being God. On the other hand the Trinity seems to imply the opposite.

Thank you for your help.

I have found the following answer written by the Nicean Council:

The Council declared that the Father and the Son are of the same substance and are co-eternal, basing the declaration in the claim that this was a formulation of traditional Christian belief handed down from the Apostles. This belief was expressed in the Nicene Creed.

Does this view still reflect the one put forward by the Catholic church?

Actually the bible says many things that are very much contradicted by the Catholic church. I am interested in the official stances, not in the Bible itself!
