Do you believe in God or Jesus??

Question

why do you and if not why dont you believe in god or Jesus?????

I ment to say do you believe Jesus is the son of god? do you believe he died for our sins? I do I believe in both no matter if I can't see them they are the reason I wake up ever day there the reason I have kids, my health my everything with either of them I am notthing so YES I DO BELIEVE

Answer 1

Yes and yes. Why? I'm not sure. I was brought up believing, and then didn't go to church for a long time. I started going back about 9 years ago. I can't really give a reason why I believe that any kind of non-believer would understand. I've seen what I consider to be proof of God's existence, and I've felt his love and seen it in other people. But that's what I consider to be proof - not necessarily what other people would accept as proof.

Answer 2

I believe in both. First of all with God. If I wasn't a Christian I don't think there is any way that I still wouldn't believe in some sort of God because I look around me and I just can't believe that this all happened by chance. Everything works so perfectly that I my logic does not work with chance in it. Jesus is a little more complicated to explain because it isn't as cut and dry as the God part. I believe in Jesus because of the Bible which has just really worked with my life and I've just had really great experiences with it. I've had prayers answered and felt moved and all that jazz, so I guess the Jesus part of it is a little more mystical than just answering the God part.

Answer 3

I believe in God (who IS Jesus). A better way to say it would be that Jesus is God.

Jesus is the human representation of the Son. God exists in three persons (altho' He is only one God), and Jesus is the Son. The Son became a human being (so at that time He was both fully man and fully God) while He was on the earth.

After His death and resurrection He went back to Heaven and will come back one day when the time is right.

I believe in Him because He has convinced me that His Word (the Bible) is true and nothing else is. It is the only completely true book in the history of the world.

It is accurate and complete (the Bible is), and everything it says is true and has to come true (those things that haven't happened yet).

Answer 4

I believe in both. It's a very thought thing to explain- I don't believe in either because of one piece of 'evidence' or even just one event in my life. It's more that to me, it just makes sense. By this I mean it fits into my own PERSONAL sense of logic, I don't mean it has to (or does) for other people. It's kinda like this- which one of the following statements is correct?

1) 2 + 2= 4
2) 2 + 2 does not equal 5
3) 4= (2 + 2)

They are all true on some level, but all make sense in a different way. Same thing with Jesus, I suppose- to me, it just makes sense even where it doesn't for someone else.

Answer 5

Yes and No.

I believe there is something beyond my ability to reason or express, that for lack of better vocabulary I call God. I have had experiences that I can't rationalize or use logic to understand and make sense of.... and I am open to the idea of god existing.

Jesus was a human and everything that has been said about him is exaggerated and false. The bible is a compilation of lies and mythology. The bible has no credibility.

Answer 6

I do believe Jesus is the son of God...because I've been looking for so many answers..and solutions to questions and problems that I had..and Jesus was the answer!!!

Answer 7

I don't believe in god at all...there is no evidence to his existence, only anecdotal stories.

I believe that a man named Jesus existed in the time frame the bible references. There is archeological evidence of his existence. I do not, however, believe any of the mythology surrounding him. The only other evidence that exists is that his tomb was empty...which doesn't support much of anything. There are many logical reasons as to what happened. The only proof to support his miracles, resurrection, etc. is anecdotal evidence handed down at least 100 years after his supposed return to heaven.

Answer 8

I believe in both of them. God is the Great Creator and Jesus is the Messiah

Answer 9

I do believe in both but Jesus is neither God nor the son of god ! I just believe in Jesus as a prohpet !

Did Jesus ever claim to be Lord?
"There is condensation and editing; there is choice, reproduction and witness. The Gospels have come through the mind of the Church behind the authors. They represent experience and history." (Kenneth Cragg, the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, The Call of the Minaret, p 277)

Jesus never claimed that he was literally the son of God, or God. There are many verses in the Bible confirming this fact. None of the verses quoted directly from Jesus support Trinity or deity of Jesus, if we eliminate the interpretations of St. Paul and his disciples. We will present those verses in the coming questions. It is a well known historical fact that today's Christianity is the product of the Nicene Conference (325 AD). In that conference, the clergy established the Trinity and banned many Gospels that did not contain their distorted ideas. In today's Bible there are a few distorted verses about the divinity of Jesus, which contradict the whole Old Testament, and the majority of the Gospels.

Some outstanding Christian scholars have reached the conclusion that the deity of Jesus is a mere fabrication. As the examples of critical studies on Christianity, here I list the name of two books: The Myth of God Incarnate, John Hick, ed., The Westminster, Philadelphia, 1977, and Jesus: Myth & Message, Lisa Spray, Universal Unity, Fremont, California, 1992.

The doctrine of modern Christianity with its implication that God Almighty has a multiple personality, and that He sacrificed one of His personalities for the salvation of human kind, has nothing to do with Jesus, as we will discuss in the next questions.

Two translations, two meanings

Here are two translations of Matthew 7:21. One is from the version authorized by a king (not God), King James, The other is The New American Bible, which was translated by the members of Catholic Biblical Association of America. Notice the contradiction between the two translations in the first three words of that verse:

King James Version:

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

The New American Bible (1970):

"None of those who cry out, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of God but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven."

In light of the verses that follow (Mt 7:22,23), which clearly indicate Jesus' anger and displeasure at people who call him "Lord, Lord", it is obvious that both translators distorted Mt 7:21 in a different manner. Ironically, by comparing them side by side, the true account inevitably emerges: "None of those who call me, 'Lord, Lord,'. . ."

Our question for Christian Scholars on Mt 7:21 has two parts. The simple part of the question is:

Which One Is Correct:

"Not every one..." OR "None of those..." ?

And the difficult part is: Why?

Answer 10

I believe in both, God the Creator, and Jesus the Savior
