why do christians find it difficult to believe jesus wasnt divine when they know he ate and drank., even wept?

Answer 1

It's a matter of faith,which is usually unsupported by human logic.

Answer 2

Well, it comes down to Tradition and Culture, According to History, Jesus wasn't declared a God until the Nicene conference. When the Roman Church added the "ET filo" phrase to the Nicene Creed, the Eastern Right Churches split from the Roman Churches and they are still that way today. Another quote is if you tell a lie long and loud enough, people will believe it. Quote from Leo the X: " How well we know what a profitable superstition this fable of Christ has been for us!" This is one of the main reasons the Roman Church slaughtered the Merovingian and Albigensian populations. They knew Jesus wasn't Divine and were more Druid in there beliefs than anything else. Up until 350 AD, Jesus was considered a Rabbi and nothing else. Constantine needed a religion to unite all of his Kingdom and created the Christian-Chrestian Church. The scriptures say that Jesus was called a winebibber and glutton. This last supper idea was taken from the meals Jesus had prepared for his Disciples-Initiates.

Answer 3

Faith. Christians carry with them the gift of grace of the Spirit. Christians have a belief in that which can not be seen and cannot be heard unless you are saved. Yes, non Christians can hear and see the truth like you can see Christ died on the cross you can hear a pastor, minister or priest recite Mathew Mark Luke and John but all this Passion will not make sense to an unbeliever it will sound like nonsense to an unbeliever. To a believer the words are more precious then gold and rubies.

It is not difficult as you think. It is just not the truth from their view point. Christ Jesus was divine. Jesus the Messiah was and will be He is the Great I AM. His bleeding was for you and me. He taught us Love. He wept because he had compassion. Jesus taught us compassion to others.

He ate bread - He is the bread of Life all who believe in Him shall never die.

He drank wine and said this is my Blood which will be shed for all mankind.

Answer 4

The Christian viewpoint I ascribe to believes that Jesus was wholy human and wholy divine. Obviously the human form of Jesus experienced the same spectrum of emotions as anyone else, including joy and sadness. Jesus' divinity was not compromised by his humanity.

Your question supposes that Christians are somehow deluded because we cannot 'accept' Jesus as a mere mortal. At the very heart of Christianity is the belief that Jesus was NOT one of us-- he was sent by God to be the final sacrifice under the old covenant and the emissary of the new one. Christians know full well that Jesus Christ spent 33 years on Earth as a human, but we also accept that God's spirit, which was present in Jesus, transcends this human plane.

Answer 5

Not such a difficult question. Being divine does not make weeping an impossibility. Why should weeping be a sin? He drank in sensible doses, which is not a sin either, and ate to survive. He was experiencing the human life, and so had to live as a human. If he didnt eat, drink, or experience sadness he would not have experienced a human life!!!

Answer 6

Well, because none of those observations are relevant to the issue. According to traditional mainstream Christianity, Jesus was fully human and fully divine. Therefore, listing human traits is compatible with traditional Christian belief.

Answer 7

because we are scared it trust what we can't see. We have to have it in writing to believe it. If it's not in the bible then we rebel against it and if it is in the bible we hold to it at all cost even if it means killing in the name of God. That's why even though I was raised a christian I don't go to church. I think fear is a bad and indirect way to instill religion. And that's how most if not all major religions instill faith. If you don't believe this way you will burn forever in a lake of fire. I want my kids to believe in God because they know he is there. not because they think they will go to hell if they don't. we just like to overlook the fact that Jesus had to die to become divine. Until then he was the same as you and me a son of man.

Answer 8

Those things taht he did are part of him being completely human as well as completely divine. It is a concept that we are not totally capable of understanding in our finite minds, but Jesus was both completely man and completely divine. Not 50% man 50% God. He was 100% man and 100% God.

Answer 9

Simply, because he was sinless in nature, unlike you and me!

Jesus lived a perfect existence while here on this sinfilled earth.
He "knew no sin" the Bible says, hence He was the perfect sacrifice for us all; those of us who accept his divinity as well as those who do not.

Answer 10
