Do you believe in Jesus's divinity or humanity? if so, whats your reasoning?

Answer 1

human made into mythology

Answer 2

Early Christianity was competing with Greek and Roman Mythology. The emperor called himself the son of God, so the Christians had to say the same with their hero. Ancient times were mythical times. People needed supernatural myth to sell their faith. So I don't think Jesus was anymore Divine than you and I. It is a pity that the divinity thing was necessary. It tends to distract from the humanity.

Answer 3

Human ONLY, Jesus was not God. If he was God, he'd be omnipresent and omnipotent. He was in only one place at a time, and he did not know everything. If he was fully God, he would never have prayed for God's will because 1) he would already know God's will, and 2) God doesn't pray 'cause God doesn't have a God.

Besides, Jesus DIED. What kind of God dies? None.

Another point... He NEVER SAID he was God, only said that he was SENT BY God.

Dualism - one ancient Greek philosophy en vogue at the time of Christ. People who were intelligent and "in the know" of the day believed in Greek philosophies. One of them is Dualism, believing in mortal and God combined. One example is Pharoah, another is offspring of god and man. Let's say Zeus came and impregnated a woman, her offspring would be human but with godlike qualities, such as wisdom, super strength, super vision, etc. This belief is dualism. The early Christians were converted Pagans, thus the "lure" to Christianity was that people said Jesus was human and divine.

In the Qur'an, Moses (pbuh) asks God to show Himself. God said no, but told Moses to look at a mountain. Moses looked at the mountain, God showed Himself to the mountain, and the mountain turned to dust. Whether or not this really happened isn't the point. The point is that it illustrates God's IMMENSE, ETERNAL MAGNITUDE. It's impossible for us to actually encounter God, we are only puny little humans who might vaporize on contact, for lack of a better term. We can't handle God directly, so how on Earth can God exist inside of a human body?

Besides, God is above and beyond the dimension of space. He created space, so why would he ever take up space as we know it? He is unlike us. We take up space, He doesn't. He is the Creator, not the created.

Answer 4

Of course, he was both. The phrase Son of God was a very loaded phrase in Christ's day and he did not use it to be vague. It evoked outrage because it could only imply deity. Look at the model presented in nature (which of course reflects the nature of its creator). Because E=MC2 Mass is energy and energy is mass. This is a duality that is also a singularity. The properties and phenomenon of matter and energy are wildly different, yet one is the other and the other is one. The example gets better if you truly assign each to the model. Deity=energy --unseen, radiant, powerful, lifegiving, transending, deadly to the touch. Mass=humanity, tangible, breakable, definable, testable, etc.

Answer 5

In Da Vinci Code movie Tom Hanks said "maybe human is divine." See below site to show why I believe that,

Answer 6

I believe that Jesus was both - divine and human. Divine because he performed miracles, human because he hungered and thirsted as a moral man. He also bled as a moral man.
I believe those who followed Him were allowed to see both so that we too could believe.

Answer 7

He was fully DIVINE and Fully HUMAN. If he were not Divine he could not be without SIN and if he were not human he could not have been tempted in every-way we are, and therefore his sacrifice would not have helped us at all. But he faced EVERY temptation common to man and was without sin and so therefore the PERFECT LAMB was SLAIN for our transgressions.

Answer 8

Both. The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus was both fully human and fully divine.

Answer 9

Humanity.

Science says he existed. But, no proof of Divinity.

Answer 10

Jesus was fully human (except sin) and fully God. He prayed as a human to his father in heaven, Yet he forgave sins as only God can. He died as a human, but resurrected himself as God!! There fore Jesus came to earth to be the ideal human that God intended for men to live by: humble, loving, patient, etc. inorder for humanity to reconcile themselves with God and be saved.

Answer 11

Humanity. I can hardly call a god who dies "omnipotent" (All-powerful) Besides, over 2000 years, don't you think the idea that he was a child of God (like from Adam and Eve and what not) and that got twisted into he was a literal Son of God?
