you will find too many confusions in bible and guess what ..
Bible, 1 Corinthians 14:33 says that "For God is not [the author] of confusion".
do i have to say anything else ?
========================
Christian friends normally say that jesus was fully God and fully man.
How can God come down and be mortal and immortal at the same time. IT'S ILLOGICAL!
You cant give such qualities to God almighty which makes a human "HUMAN". We cannot mingle the qualities of God with a human being, which makes God "God". There is a creator and a creation. That's it! Nothing else in between. God is the creator and everything else is creation including man. There is nothing like God-man or man-God OR 100% God and 100% man. This full man and full God statement is a self-contradictory. To be FULL MAN excludes divinity, because a being who is empty of divine attributes cannot be God. To be FULL GOD excludes humanity, because a being who is full of divine attributes and perfection ,cannot be Human. To be God means to be INFINITE, To be human means to be FINITE. We cannot have a being who is finite and infinite at the same time. It is as contradictory as Married-Bachelor Or Four sided triangle.
God incarnation is like you are saying that My brother gave a birth to a child. Its a quality of a male that he does not give birth. If he gives birth then he will no longer remain male. Its the quality of God that He does not have a beginning i.e. He is INFINITE. If He has a beginning the He is not God.
God does only Godly things. It is not majesty of God to do Ungodly things. I hope you understand my point.

"Christ the son of Mary was no more than an Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!"

ISLAM MAKES SENSE. THATS WHY ITS THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION IN THE WORLD TODAY.

The way he studied the scriptures is not the same way you or I might study it. He is a teacher, therefore, he must take what has been written before, and preach about it, explain it to us, show us the way, and then it is up to us to go down that road or not. He lived among us as one of us, he ate, prayed, fulfilled what was required of a Jewish person in their time.
The Bible has promises, warning, and predictions, and that is why we study it. If you look at other books of faith, they too have many promises, to be one of them, is to get these rewards, such as the 72 virgin for the Shahid, El-janih or Paradise for the Muslims, among other. It is not only the Bible, but all faiths do.
If you believe, there is no proof needed, and if you don't there is no proof sufficient.
Your question is not looking for enlightenment but more conflict. But is you are looking to understand, ask. I hope I can help, and I don't mean to convert you either, just understand.
I hope that helped.

"To fulfill all righteousness"...
He spoke this Himself, He had no sin, yet He had John baptize Him.
He studied the scriptures in the Temple along with every other young jewish boy growing up. He grew and played and schooled just like all the other little boys.
According to Sanhedrin writings, while Joseph had the dream of Jesus' birth, he struggled with believing that Jesus was really the Messiah. Mary struggled with Jesus never calling her mother, she said He always called her, "Woman". Not out of disrespect(I feel), but as a reminder to her of who He was, and what He had come to do.
I am very sorry for your confusion, I was the same way before I got saved. As I grew in Christ, He showed me many things, and is still showing me today. It is the LIVING WORD, timeless and always speaking new things to our hearts.
Try to remember to pray first, before reading, ask God to reveal Himself to you, and grant you wisdom to know what His Word is saying. I promise you, if you are willing and searching, He will show Himself true to His Word...keep searching.

Ok, what's the deal with all the questions in Religion & Spirituality regarding issues of FAITH, with the challenge-"prove it?" If I could prove matters of FAITH, I wouldn't call it FAITH, I would call it science.
Christians accept that Jesus was fully human, fully divine. (Most Christians...)
And just for fun, let me throw out that Jesus did not refer to himself as the Son of God, but most often as "the son of man." Jesus called people to follow him, and join the Kingdom of God.
A bunch of people are going to quote John at me, but John was written to counter Gnosticism so most scholars think Jesus didn't say half the stuff John has him saying.

Jesus was born of flesh and blood and had to die before he was a god. He is the only man who has lived that never committed a sin there for he was able to take his body back and reunite the soul and flesh. Gods first commandment then did not stand where we would surly die because we have sinned. There for he gave his life for our sins so that if we believe in him he will be our advocate before the father and wash our sin's with his blood.

well, jesus was a jew. god told the jews to read and study the torah. i imagine that growing up he must have done just that.
after all, we're not too sure what he did in the time the bible doesn't tell us about (late teens and 20s).

in response to Tiamur.
nothing about God is "logical."
logic is created by man...a flawed creature. God's existence and powers defy logic in every way. that doesn't mean He's not real or true. i've seen God's manifestations. He is.
this statement is as silly as that to ask if there is life on other planets. the way humans have come to view life is based solely upon what we've viewed on Earth. why should we expect what we call "life" to exist in the same way it does here when we defined it to mean what we see here?

Jesus was illiterate. Read the Bible.
No Muslim can comprehend God because God is spiritual, and Muslims are carnally minded. Also, no Muslim is capable of understanding what I just said.

When you are telling a long joke that you just made up, you forget parts, and must write it down and refer later.
