jesus as God.........is it really true?

Question

i m sorry i dont want to hurt any of ur feelings but i really want to know that why would God send God as a messenger to us why not a human being.

Answer 1

Jesus was not just a messenger. More importantly he is the messiah, god in the flesh, and the perfect example of how we are to live.
In the OT it says that the messiah is God. Only God can take away sin. He was the ultimate scrifice. There are sveral cults who say that Jesus is not God, they have been deceived.

In addition to Jesus’ specific claims about Himself (see Is Jesus God?), His disciples also acknowledged the deity of Christ. They claimed that Jesus had the right to forgive sins - something only God can do, as it is God who is offended by sin (Acts 5:31; Colossians 3:13; cf. Psalm 130:4; Jeremiah 31:34). In close connection with this last claim, Jesus is also said to be the one who will "judge the living and the dead” (2 Timothy 4:1). Thomas cried out to Jesus, "my Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). Paul calls Jesus “great God and Savior” (Titus 2:13), and points out that prior to His incarnation Jesus existed in the “form of God” (Philippians 2:5–8). The writer to the Hebrews says regarding Jesus that “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever” (Hebrews 1:8). John states that, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word [Jesus] was God” (John 1:1). Examples of Scriptures that teach the deity of Christ could be multiplied (see Revelation 1:17; 2:8; 22:13; 1 Corinthians 10:4; 1 Peter 2:6–8; cf. Psalm 18:2; 95:1; 1 Peter 5:4; Hebrews 13:20), but even one of these is enough to show that Christ was considered to be deity by His followers.



Jesus is also given titles that are unique to Yahweh (the formal name of God) in the Old Testament. The Old Testament title “redeemer” (Psalm 130:7; Hosea 13:14) is used of Jesus in the New Testament (Titus 2:13; Revelation 5:9). Jesus is called Immanuel ("God with us" in Matthew 1). In Zechariah 12:10, it is Yahweh who says, “They will look on me, the one they have pierced.” But the New Testament applies this to Jesus’ crucifixion (John 19:37; Revelation 1:7). If it is Yahweh who is pierced and looked upon, and Jesus was the one pierced and looked upon, then Jesus is Yahweh. Paul interprets Isaiah 45:22–23 as applying to Jesus in Philippians 2:10–11. Further, Jesus’ name is used alongside Yahweh’s in prayer “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 1:3; Ephesians 1:2). This would be blasphemy if Christ were not deity. The name of Jesus appears with Yahweh's in Jesus' commanded to baptize “in the name [singular] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19; see also 2 Corinthians 13:14. In Revelation John says all creation praised Christ (the Lamb) - thus Jesus is not part of creation (5:13).



Actions that can be accomplished only by God are credited to Jesus. Jesus not only raised the dead (John 5:21; 11:38–44), and forgave sins (Acts 5:31; 13:38), He created and sustains the universe (John 1:2; Colossians 1:16-17)! This point is made even more forceful when one considers that Yahweh said He was alone during creation (Isaiah 44:24). Further, Christ possesses attributes that only deity can have: eternality (John 8:58), omnipresence (Matthew 18:20, 28:20), omniscience (Matthew 16:21), omnipotence (John 11:38-44).



Now, it is one thing to claim to be God or to fool someone into believing it is true, and something else entirely to prove it to be so. Christ offered as proof of His claim to deity many miracles and even rose from the dead. Just a few of Jesus' miracles include turning water to wine (John 2:7), walking on water (Matthew 14:25), multiplying physical objects (John 6:11), healing the blind (John 9:7), the lame (Mark 2:3), and the sick (Matthew 9:35; Mark 1:40–42), and even raising people from the dead (John 11:43–44; Luke 7:11–15; Mark 5:35). Moreover, Christ Himself rose from the dead. Far from the so-called dying and rising gods of pagan mythology, nothing like the resurrection is seriously claimed by other religions - and no other claim has as much extra-scriptural confirmation. According to Dr. Gary Habermas, there are at least twelve historical facts that even non-Christian critical scholars will admit:

1. Jesus died by crucifixion.

2. He was buried.

3. His death caused the disciples to despair and lose hope.

4. Jesus' tomb was discovered (or claimed to be discovered) to be empty a few days later.

5. The disciples believed they experienced appearances of the risen Jesus.

6. After this the disciples were transformed from doubters into bold believers.

7. This message was the center of preaching in the early Church.

8. This message was preached in Jerusalem.

9. As a result of this preaching, the Church was born and it grew.

10. Resurrection day, Sunday, replaced the Sabbath (Saturday) as the primary day of worship.

11. James, a skeptic, was converted when he also believed that he saw the resurrected Jesus.

12. Paul, an enemy of Christianity, was converted by an experience which he believed to be an appearance of the risen Jesus.



Even if someone were to object to this specific list, only a few are needed to prove the resurrection and establish the gospel: Jesus' death, burial, resurrection, and appearances (1 Corinthians 15:1-5). While there may be some theories to explain one or two of the above facts, only the resurrection explains and accounts for them all. Critics admit that the disciples claimed they saw the risen Jesus. Neither lies nor hallucinations can transform people the way the resurrection did. First, what would they have had to gain? Christianity wasn't popular and it certainly did not make them any money. Second, liars do not make good martyrs. There is no better explanation than the resurrection for the disciples’ willingness to die horrible deaths for their faith. Yes, lots of people die for lies that they think are true, but no one dies for what they know is untrue.



In conclusion: Christ claimed He was Yahweh, He was deity (not just "a god" - but the True God), His followers (Jews who would have been terrified of idolatry) believed Him and referred to Him as such. Christ proved His claims to deity through miracles including the world-altering resurrection. No other hypothesis can explain these facts.

Answer 2

this is something that most will never really understand. Jesus is the son of God on earth. Jesus is God though. He is the father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. If God wanted to send a God he would have just came down here his self. But he wanted Jesus to die for everyone's sins. So that is why He sent Jesus. His son. Jesus is just basicly another form of God sent down to earth. do you get it now?

Answer 3

God is a Tri-Une God - he is three in one. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God sent a part of himself to us in the flesh (in human form). That part of him was his son Jesus Christ (more than merely a "messenger") who was the holy sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. The sacrifice for sin had to be a perfect, unblemished sacrifice and God is the only perfect being.

Answer 4

He sent lots of people, also. The prophets, the scribes, the elders. Some of them didn't do what God wanted, others did. God needed the most sure witness he could send, and that was his Son. He needed to send that witness in a way that would be recognized, and that was as a man.

Answer 5

There is no such thing as God. If God sent a God to Earth wouldn't it act look, sound and act like a god and not like a human. Wouldn't it be capable of a lot more than a few simple miracles that Buddha already did.

Answer 6

Good question.

The answer is quite lenghty: The Bible. I mean read the whole Bible from the beginning to the end. It has to do with the plan of redemption of everybody in this world.

Here is why I recommend you to do that: Romans 16:25-27

Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him— to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

Here is another one: Ephesians 1:8-10

that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.

You see, God is wise and He has a plan. His action is a mystery to us. But He reveals that mystery to the Believers through the Bible.

So, if you wants to discover, read it.

Answer 7

Someone once described it this way: Jesus was the version of God that has been adjusted to fit your screen. He had to come down to Earth in the form of man to show man how to live the way that He wanted them to live. Why send a man to do God's job.

Answer 8

Jesus Christ is the son of God, it is true that some religions preach he is one of the same - but they are separate beings. You need to do your own studying and praying about this so you will have your answer. Their are many resources available.
I believe that the power of prayer will help you find your answer if you are sincerely searching. Remember you are a child of God and he is within each of us. Ask him for directions he will lead you if you let him.

Answer 9

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. God sent Him as human form to die on the cross for us to pay the penalty for our sins.

Answer 10

Well he needed someone to be perfect and since he is perfect he just sent his son. (God) and if he sent a human being he couldn't pay for our sins because he is not perfect he would not raise from the dead and that would be the end of it there would be no way to get to God.
