Im confused..?

Question

if Jesus is god, why did he worship god? or if he is the son of god? then why worship him instead of god?

Answer 1

As a man he was setting an example...

Answer 2

He worshipped God the Father

Answer 3

Well, there are some things that are not for a human to understand, but just to accept them the way they are. God is three in one, and I'm sure you already know that. Remember nobody goes to God but through His Only Son!!!!! There are so many questions I'd wish people could answer me but I know the only one who's able to is God so I just keep asking him until I find the answer!

Answer 4

Jesus is only a god because he found his inner potential through his ultimate belief in God. God in that respect serves as a focal point for his belief. Only because Jesus could concentrate on the idea of God, could he himself become a god. In any other case, his godhood would be incomplete because his belief would be imperfect. So, as paradoxically as it sounds, one can only become "a god" by believing in the higher principle. It might be God, Universe, The Holy Spirit, but there has to be some focal point for ultimate belief.

Answer 5

things that make you go hmmm

Answer 6

Actually, Jesus IS Jehovah.

Is it possible for a human being to be a God?

Some humans calls themselves a God. This is God's response:

Ezekiel 28.1-10

The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart [is] lifted up, and thou hast said, I [am] a God, I sit [in] the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou [art] a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

Behold, thou [art] wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: By thy great wisdom [and] by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of [them that are] slain in the midst of the seas.

Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [am] God? but thou [shalt be] a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.

Is it possible for God to be a human being?

Genesis 1.26, 27

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Notice that God made man in His image. If God made man in His image, and God became man, wouldn't God be in His own image?

Jesus was a true man or a true God....explain?

Jesus is Jehovah who formed Himself a sinless human body to dwell in.

The following is a more extended answer to God and the trinity that explains more thoroughly the nature of God, and Christ being THE LORD who spoke in the Old testament.

Gen 1.26 - And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness: (27) So God created man in HIS [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Notice that God said (PLURAL) Let "US make man in OUR" image in Genesis 1.26 - And then Genesis 1.27 says "So God created man in (SINGULAR) HIS [own] image." God addresses Himself plurally with the words "US and OUR", and then Genesis 1.27 speaks of God (in third person as a singular Entity), creating man in (SINGULAR) HIS [own] image."

How can God address Himself in Genesis 1.26 as a plural entity and then be spoken of in the next verse as a singular entity?

Simple: Because BOTH are true...

The noun "God" is "perceived" as "singular" when it is actually BOTH "plural" and "singular". The noun "God" is a "corporation" that is identified as a "single entity".

In other words, "God" is actually "A Them" Who together constitute "Him".

Take the letters "G" "O" "D"...

It requres all three letters to "cause" "GOD" to exist. If you remove either letter, "GOD" ceases to exist: "GO" "OD" "GD"

Likewise:

The Father (G)
The Word (O)
The Holy Spirit (D)

"together" constitute "GOD"

When scriptures says:

God, The Father,
God, The Word,
God, The Holy Spirit

It is actually saying:

Elohim, The Father,
Elohim, The Word,
Elohim, The Holy Spirit

Which means that each Entity "together" constitutes "Elohim". To say "God" is to actually say "Corporation" - To address each Member of The Corporation "Individually" is to say "The Father" "The Word" "The Holy Spirit".

Psalm 45.6,7

Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom [is] a right sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Notice that God directly addresses another as "God".

The Hebrew word for BOTH words "God" in this text is "Elohim". Therefore, "Elohim" calls someone else "Elohim."

Psalm 45 is actually "The Father" speaking (prophetically through David) about and to "The Word" as the pre-incarnate Christ, saying: (1) I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue [is] the pen of a ready writer. (2) Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. (3) Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.

Notice in verse 2 it says "God hath blessed thee for ever" and in verse 3, God says to Him "Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty". Who can be "O [most] mighty" other than "God"?

Matthew 28.16-20

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

Notice the first thing that Christ said: "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth". To have "all power in heaven and in earth" is to be "O [most] mighty" (Psalm 45.3).

Who can be "O [most] mighty" other than "God"?

Now Christ said something interesting:

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost".

If you look closely, Christ "specifically" stated that the disciples baptize the nations "in the NAME of the Father, AND of the Son, AND of the Holy Ghost". How could Christ tell the disciples to baptize the nations "in the NAME of the Father, AND of the Son, AND of the Holy Ghost" if the name of Son AND the name of the Holy Ghost where not EQUAL TO (AND THE SAME AS) the name of The Father (Elohim)?

To baptize the nations "in the NAME of the Father is to baptize the nations "in the NAME of "God" - To baptize the nations "in the NAME of the Father, AND of the Son, AND of the Holy Ghost" is to baptize the nations "in the NAME of "God".

As for the Holy Spirit being God...

Act 5.1-4

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being privy [to it], and brought a certain part, and laid [it] at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Notice what Peter said about the Holy Spirit in verses 3 and 4:

"But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost...? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God."

Peter called the Holy Ghost "God".

"God" IS the corporation of "The Father" "The Word" "The Holy Spirit".

1 John 5.7

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one (or these three are one "God").

To "see" God as a composite of three Who together exist as One, take an egg. The egg consists as three separate components (the egg shell, egg white, and egg yolk). Each component is "individually" called "an egg" - and yet they together constitute "one" egg.

As for Christ being Jehovah...

Christ said in John 5.37 "And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape."

Christ said that no man has ever heard the Father's voice. So who was Moses talking to on Mount Sinai?

It was Christ Himself who speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai.

Exodus 32.31-33

And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

God called Himself "I AM". Christ called Himself "I am."

Exodus 3.13, 14

And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What [is] his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

John 8.24

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.

John 8.58

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

John 18.1-6

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

As for Christ being called God...

John 20.19-28

Then the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you. And when he had so said, he shewed unto them [his] hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; [and] whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained. But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.


John 10.23-33

And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand. I and [my] Father are one.

Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.


Philippians 2.5-11

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This scripture says plainly...

(5) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: (9) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

Which was prophesied in...

Psalm 45.6,7

Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom [is] a right sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

The scriptures has plainly shown that "GOD" is a composite of three Entities Who together have the same name - "Elohim".

I leave you with a "Word Portrait" of "The Word" which reveals Christ as "God" the Creator. Christ IS the LORD Who spoke in the Old Testament, and thus, IS God who said, "Let there be light."

Revelation 1.8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. John 1.1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us; Philippians 2.6,7 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Colossians 1.15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: 17 And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. Romans 1.20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; Isaiah 14.18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. Isaiah 55.8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. Psalm 19.1 (NIV) The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. 2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. 3 There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. 4 Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.
