For one man in Los Angeles, declaring ‘Jesus is God’ was worth even vandalizing property.
In a video that went viral on social media, a man in Los Angeles can be seen painting over one of the controversial billboards that have started to pop up recently, which read, ” The Bible says… Jesus is not God.”
This statement is not only heretical, but it is infuriating for Christians. So, one soul decided he would take matters into his own hands, even if it meant vandalism.
In the video, the man is seen using a large black paint roller to match the background of the sign, painting over the word “not” and the billboard’s bottom statement as well. This made the sign read, “The Bible says… Jesus is God.”

At the heart of the Christian faith is not a slogan, a protest or a viral moment—it is the unshakable truth of who Jesus Christ is. Scripture reveals Him as fully God and fully man, not partially divine, not merely a prophet, and not a created being. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). Yet that same Word “became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). If Jesus were not both man and God, His death would have been insufficient. It is precisely because He was both that redemption was possible.

Only a sinless Savior—God clothed in flesh—could bear the weight of humanity’s sin. On the cross, Jesus did not merely suffer as a martyr; He shed His blood as the spotless Lamb of God, offering a once-for-all atonement that no human effort could ever achieve. Denying His deity does not simply challenge theology—it undermines the very foundation of salvation itself.
Without the divine Christ, there is no forgiveness of sins, no victory over death, and no hope of reconciliation with God. This is why the declaration “Jesus is God” is not a matter of opinion, emotion or activism—it is the cornerstone of the gospel and the reason the cross still stands as the ultimate answer to humanity’s deepest need.
