To those who believe in Christ.. I have a question..?

Question

I love Jesus Christ, and respect those who believed in him and followed him and kept his teachings. but.. I wonder, Did he actually teach people to believe in him being God? I still could not find a verse where it shows him, in his own words, saying I am God, worship me, or pray to me, or ask me forgiveness or any of that, rather I found a couple of verses, that show him being a man, like in Acts 2:22, being a prophet like in Matthew 13:57, so, how do you respond to this? I am not trying to make fun of you guys or any of that, I am just wondering, do you guys even care if what you believe in is wrong? do not say you are so sure about your beliefs because only stupid ones say so.. because being humble for a unstable, unclear, fuzzy faith is stupdity.. no offense.. it is the truth... [instead of attacking my person and Islam, please answer my question first, thanks..]

Answer 1

Jesus is not God.

God does not die. So if Jesus was God how could he be dead? That means God is dead?

It was said in the old 'non-corrupt' Bible that Jesus was NOT divine. He was a mortal prophet sent from God. God did not allow the Jews to crucify him. God then sent him back to heaven and replaced him by the person who suggested Jesus' death.and altered his physical appearance. That person who was crucified is whom people worship.

I just can't understand the arrogance of people. You all know that the Bible is corrupt. Constantine and his fellow members of the supreme Roman court actually wrote the Bible and added some stuff of their Sun worship religion. They kept a few Gospels that Jesus said..

There is only one God. Jesus said and it still exists in the Bible but in a modified way that after him a mortal prophet will come and his name is "Ahmed" which is another name for Muhammed. Muhammed is a prophet sent from God just like Abraham, Moses, Jesus etc.. They were sent to show people the right path that is to worship God alone.

Another misconcept many of my fellow users believe. Jesus is NOT son of God. God is divine and does not reproduce but creates. We are servants of God. God created us and this universe.

Jesus is NOT son of God. If he is then why couldn't God save him? Why would God sacrifice his only Son??? Because he is NOT God's son!! Where is God's wife? Where did they get married? Where is Gods father?

Come to your senses. God gave you a mind, the most powerful thing in the world. God gave you a mind to think with. Use it wisley

Answer 2

There is a verse that says that "When you have seen me you have seen the Father."
In 1Corinthians 1: Paul calls Him Lord Jesus Christ. Everything about Christian salvation is in the Bible and is all due to Jesus Chrst. No prophet was ever given by the Holy Spirit and no other prophet's life was sinless. Jesus Christ was pure and able to remain so by being God incarnate. I do not concider my faith to be fuzzy or unstable. When the Bible quotes Jesus as saying he is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last then that is what He means. If Jesus is not God then why don't God come and claim His people on the White Horse? The answer is that He will because He is Jesus.
Now a question for you. How is mohammed and Jesus equal?

Answer 3

If you father had a very important world wide business and he put you over the whole thing, who would you be.
God anointed Satan over Eden, Satan does not want to be any less than THE TOP OVER ALL, He can not have that position as he was created by the most High Power,
so what a pity that this happened John 8:44; 2Cor.4:3,4;
It has not or will not happen with Jesus, SO THIS IS WHY YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU HAVE, John 16:23; ask the Father in my name. Matt.22:37-40; Jesus said, love the LORD thy God with all thy heart soul mind and strength. His father has put all power into his hands. Rev.20:1-6; When the sad time of Satan is up, Heb.2:9,14,16; he already had Jesus crucified, then Jesus puts him in the pit for 1000 years and he makes all back to new again as it was before, he cleanses the earth for his God and his Father and our God and our Father John 20:17; 1Cor.15:22-28; that the LORD God is all and all Rev.3:12; Jesus has a new name. He is a son with all the rest of the sons.
Jesus was man, he was a prophet, he is number 62 man in the genealogy from Adam.
Matt.1:1-17; He is the first creation by God. John 17:5,24; He was with God before the world was.
He is the only one that can save all that was lose, eternal life, the eternal life day of 1000 years, the life sustaining earth is lost and angels have sinned and contaminated heaven. All has got to be made as it was before Satan and Adam messed it up.

Jesus has all nations, people and tongues[languages], covered in his plans. He is the savior of the world John 3:13-17; 17:3,5,24;

Answer 4

John 14:6-14. Jesus is part of a trinity. God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is detailed in John 14 as well. Good luck in your search. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. Phillip said"Lord show us the Father and that will be enough for us. Jesus answered Don't you know me, Phillip even after I have been among you such a long time. Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say Show us the Father? Don't u believe that I am the Father and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather it is the Father living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and Father is in me or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father And I will do whatever you ask in my name so that the Son may bring glory to the Father You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

Answer 5

No Jesus never taught that he was God, he infact always said he was God's Son and God himself confirmed that at Jesus baptizm when Gods spirit descended like a dove an a loud voice was heard saying this is my son the beloved whom I have aproved.(Mathew 3:16&17) But no, Jesus many times said that he does nothing of his own initiative but does the will of him who sent Jesus, He even said that all authority has been given to him in heaven and on earth, if he were God he would not need to be given authority because he would already have it.(Mathew 28:18)And if he were God then he would know the day and the hour of the end of this wicked system of things the Great day of the Almighty God , yet he himself says that concerning that day and hour nobody knows not the angels in heaven,Nor the Son, But only the Father knows(Mathew 24:36) If he was God then surely he would know, but he doesn't so he is not God! He even said that he is observing God's word(John8:55)andPhilipians2:8 says that he became obedient as far as death, if he was God who does God need to be obedient to? I mean no disrespect but to even consider the belief that Jesus is God and I am sure of that , that belief is wrong because those scriptures say so, and there are more that doalso the Bible says that God is a spirit and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth, now that to me rules out a belief unfounded by the BibleI mean no disrespect to those who believe in the notion that Jesus is God but they believe in opinions of men rather than God's Word. and I agree with you about that fuzzy faith is stupidity, and it does not lead to God's aproval, but earns his disaproval.No Jesus did not teach that he was or is God, but quite to the contrary!

Answer 6

I find your premise interesting.

You ask for the very words of Christ stating that He is God, for worship, to pray to him or to ask him for forgiveness and then you state that you found only a couple of verses that according to you "show him to be a man" only.

I happen to have a Bible and I looked up these two verses that you are offering as proof that Christ was just a man and that Christ was only a prophet.

In Acts 2:22 we find the following;

"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:"

Well this verse certainly states that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was a "man approved of God". However you have violated your own premise. These words are NOT the DIRECT WORDS OF CHRIST.

Why do you use words other than Christ's to establish your opinion while demanding others to only use Christ's OWN WORDS? Therefore I cannot accept this verse as proof to support your premise because you have violated your own rules of dialog.

Now for your second Bible verse submission that supposedly proves that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ was not God.

Matthew 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

Here we find the statement "A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house."

At least in this verse you happened to use a verse that ACTUALLY has the WORDS OF CHIRST in it! However even a casual consideration of this verse would bring about the conclusion that this verse DOES NOT prove that Jesus Christ was not God. All these words of Christ establish is the fact that Jesus Christ was a prophet. Christ admiting that He is a prophet DOES NOT prevent Him from also being God.

I would submit that you have overlooked the obvious. Just because a statement asserts a positive does not negate all other possibilities.

Why do you assert that what Christians believe is "WRONG" and accuse them of "FUZZY FAITH" when you have shown with your own words that you are short in logic? Therefore I submit that you have "FUZZY THINKING".

Methinks that Daniel 5:25 is appropriate in your case. . ."And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN."

In other words you have been "Weighed in the balance and found wanting".

And as you say "No offence . . It is the Truth."

Peace be unto you brother from Mr Answer!

Answer 7

I do thank you for asking because wanting to know identifies your want and need of getting to know God. If you look in John 14:6, Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me, " meaning that no one can even talk to God or hear from God but through the name of Jesus. In Romans 8:26 Paul wrote, "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit (that of Jesus Christ) itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." And what He is saying here is that the Holy Spirit, that dwelt in the body of Jesus (the only man that never committed sin) intercedes or mediates our prayers to God for us because of our infirmities, our short comings and tendencies to pray vain things.

I hope this clears any question that you have in your mind about it. Just always remember, Jesus is the way. God Bless.

Answer 8

Read Matthew 4:10

Answer 9

I am not christian. Whatever I have learnt has given me a deep feeling that religion are product of man. It is individual thing. About God, if HE comes on earth will he ever introduce Himself? I don't think so. We have to recongnize Him. He is always there in some form. The form which is recongnized by many becomes His face and later on the idol of GOD. So I think when GOD takes birth and lives with us He tries to be like us and denies to be GOD but some of us with blessed eyes and upgraded souls recongnise Him by His actions and way of living. Many start believing them after seeing and many believe without seeing HIM by just feeling HIM around or their heart says it is the truth. Stupid are those who attack ISLAM,HINDUISM.SIKHISM or Christianity. basically they are lost. All the GODs and Holy scriptures are face of almighty. Don't care for them. Go on believing that as per the requirement of time, place and social conditon- era in short God changed His face from words to human being from animals to plants. Please think all who are alive are only because of His energy in us recongnize that. The words which lead us to love, respect and to be kind are GOD. Whether God says or not your heart will say that if that is not GOD it is GODLY at least. Ask your Heart it will tell you that who misinterpret are wrong HE was not. I do feel so hence I believe in good honest work then to debate who was GOD or not.

Answer 10

John 8:58
In this passage Jesus is involved in a controversy with His Jewish contemporaries. The subject of the argument is Jesus' own identity. In the process, He states that Abraham was glad to see Him. This statement really confuses the people, and they question how He could possibly have been around at the time of Abraham. Jesus responds: "Before Abraham was born, I am" (NIV). The expression, "I Am" was not a phrase that pious Jews would ever use, let alone in reference to themselves; for it was the name of God (see Exod. 3:14), and it would have been considered blasphemous to use that name for oneself. In referring to Himself as "I Am," He was saying that He was God.

John 10:30
This passage is even more clear. In another debate about Jesus' identity, He says: "I and My Father are one" (NKJV). He claimed equality with God.

Luke 22:70 (and Parallel Passages in Matthew and Mark)
Here Jesus is on trial before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish council. After some futile efforts to convict Him on various charges, the priest and his associates turn to Jesus directly and question Him. Eventually they ask Him, "Are you the Son of God?" Jesus responds, "Yes, I am." It appears that we have a double claim here. Jesus acknowledges that He is the Son of God and also uses "I am" in His response as recorded by Luke.

Mark 2:1-12
On some occasions when Jesus claimed to be God, He was a less direct; but by His actions He made it clear how He felt about His identity. One example is in this passage. Instead of healing the paralytic immediately, Jesus told him that his sins are forgiven. The scribes in the audience were appalled: "Only God can forgive sins." Reading their thoughts, Jesus then proves that He has the power to forgive sins by healing the man. And, of course, the scribes had it right all along. By forgiving sins Jesus showed that He was, in fact, God.

Matthew 7:22, 23
Any passage in which Jesus referred to Himself as judge on the last day constitutes a claim to be God. To His Jewish hearers it was a given that only God Himself would preside at the Last Judgment. Isaiah 33:22 says, "The Lord is our judge" (NIV). By making Himself Judge, Jesus was making Himself the Lord.
