Jesus(PBUH): for Christians?

Question

Did jesus ever claim to be the son of god? Did he ever say directly "i am the son of god".

And i am confused... is jesus(PBUH) was born in the middle east ... then why do you make his picture(do you really know how he looks like) of him being white? shouldnt he be a little towrds a darker skin... but what ever the skin i dont care... How do you know how he really looks like?

I Respect jesus (PBUH), but i don't see him as son of god.

Other Question:

Why would god have a human looking son.. arent humans sinfull and impure?

Why would god be a male or female (you say hes a male) does that mean women are degraded?

Why would god be a human form? and if he was why would he make us humans? humans are not pure

If Jesus has taken all sin away with him.. this means i can be a Christan's and do all the sins i do and still will be allowed to go into heaven? And if yes that makes no sense

Did Jesus say that he was son of god?

If god has a son why not a daughter? Doesn't that mean women aren't important as men?

Answer 1

Since you add the (PBUH) that means you are Muslim. So, I will answer you in terms you can relate to, as a Muslims person.
Jesus didn't say he was the son of GOD in these words, but he did say it in many different ways. For example the father and I, when he was on the cross, and yes I know you don't believe he was crucified, he screamed " Abba' that means father. there are many more, that show Jesus Christ(PBUH) if you will, and God himself. You as a Muslim will show the relation between your prophet and Allah as the Christians do with Jesus and God.

He was born in the middle east in Bethlehem. Dark light what is the difference, shouldn't he who matters not who he looked like. And how, the artist will depict him as how they see him, in their eyes that is how they see him. In the Shroud of Turin, you can't tell his color, but you can tell somehow how he looked like.

of course you don't see him as the son of GOD and that is your opinion as some people, respectfully, don't agree with many things in your religion, but life goes on. Live and let live.

God sent his only begotten son, for us, to suffer and die so as we can live and enter the kingdom of heaven. We were created in his image, how else would you like him to come to us! and what better look would be better than to be one of those whom he came for.

God is neither male nor female, God is GOD. Must God have a gender! If so what do you believe Allah's Gender, Allah is referred to as for example 'to only worship him!" does that means Allah is a male!

No it doesn't mean you can be a christian and do all the sinns you wish and still go to heaven. He took the original sin away, what happen after that, if one sinns, one must be judge by God, and so is the judgement do will be.

What difference does it make son or daughter. The most highly cherished person after God and Jesus is Mary the mother of Jesus, and so does Muhammad proclaimed that as well. A woman the most highest cherished of all of us. Read your Quran it is in there.

Answer 2

That is a lot of questions. Jesus was a male because I think that women in that time and place did not have as much freedom to move about as men. Yes, Jesus said that He was the Son of God and yes, even the worst sinner can repent of his sins by feeling sorry the sins were committed and then you simply pray and tell God that you accept the fact that His Son died for your sins and paid the price. A long time ago, you could kill a goat or something and this would pay for your sins, but not anymore. God's Son came to this planet so that He could get a first hand glimpse of what life here was like with all of its BS and stuff. Artists have always rendered Jesus' portrait in various ways. It is an artist's perogative. Yep, Jesus should look like a person from the middle East to keep it right. But no one has a photo of Him, so we have to just guess. For all we know, He could have been a really black fat Laotian covered with warts. Who knows. You have to remember that Jesus was sent to bring a better doctrine than the Old Testament and His job was to change the ways of thinking of people who were really deep into their own religions. He had to be able to move and shake the world with miracles. That was the only way He could get these people's attention. In prison, I had some very real and personal experiences with this stuff and I will go to my grave knowing the truth in all of it.

Answer 3

well for the 1st question. There were Catholic saints that seen him in visions and there are many more reason why his pic. is the way it is.
the last few are in the following.
2. God gave us his Son to show us how to live the 10 Commandments.
3. the reason why Jesus was male was because the Church was the bride. No women are not being degraded.
4. i am not very sure but i will check that out and e-mail you. to show us his love by making us humans.
5. Yes, you may be a christian and No you should not sin by avoiding it. We must be free of sin if you want a well relationship with God.
6. well in scripture it said Jesus was so my advice to you is to read the Gospels.
7. i don't know, all I can think of is it wasn't suppose to be.

Answer 4

The Image of Jesus that you have seen in movies or pictures is taken from the rug of Turin. This is the rug that the body of Jesus Christ was allegedly covered with and once his Resurrection his image got printed on it.

Second point, in the Bible Jesus mention God as his father, so you assume he means he considered his self as the son of God.

Third point, God made humans as his image and semblance, at the beginning humans were free of any sin, but God planted the tree of the good and evil and warned Adan and Eve to never eat it fruit, then Lucifer, the evil, told them that they wouldn't die if they eat the fruit of that tree, otherwise they would be like God knowing the good and evil, knowing this they ate an their eyes were opened and they realized they were naked and also started to die ,due once spelled out of paradise they were not immortals no more.

Women have an important place for God , Virgin Mary was chosen by God to become the better way to bring Jesus to this world.

Why a man; before to come to the earth Jesus was an angel, angels have no sex as we know it, but thenadays men had women in a 2nd. place, so it was not convenience to spread the words in the mouth of a woman.

Besides Christianity in other religions their gods have visited humans getting a human form too. this is to have more acceptance among humans,

Answer 5

That's a personal struggle of mine ! I believe that Jesus was & and still is the greatest teacher, but, what I get from his words are that we are all Gods children & if we can't find our way to God we can go through him.
My understanding of God sending Jesus, is to show people the way back to God. If Jesus were a female, no one would have listened to her, since females had no power in those times.
Jesus took sin away by showing us how to live our lives. sacrafice was an excepted way of making up to God for your sins, so Jesus's death was the ultimate sacrafice.
At that time period women weren't as important, the men held all the control.
People will picture their savior looking like them [I guess it made them feel better]
I hope this answers some of your question !! I don't think anyone can really give you all the answers. Don't pay any attention to anyone who says your stupid or you should read the Bible [which can be very confusing] , we all have to start somewhere, ask your questions and then you can go from there!!!!!!

Answer 6

Look in the Bible the book of John, chapter 10 verse 30. Jesus speeking said "I and my Father are one. i/e Jesus and Father are one being ...the same. Same book chapter14 verse 9 Jesus says that the person that has seen Him(Jesus) has seen the Father. These are just two places where your question is answered and thete are more. The pictures we often see of Jesus are drawings and paintings. No one knows what He looked like. He was from the east and probably did have darker skin etc. As you say, the color doesn't really matter. If Jesus were not to look like a human, what would or should He look like? God is spirit. Jesus had to look human so He could identify with humans, look like humans, have the same feelings as humans, suffer, feel pain, and die like humans do. He died in our place to save us from sin and damanation. He had to be human to die. Had He kept His "God" spirit image and power He could not have died. At the time Jesus was on earth men had many more rights than women. Women were not considered as being as important or as good as men. Many people didn't listen to them and didn't care about them very much Jesus does not feel that same way but He needed to be heard and be respected enough so people would treat Him with some regard. It wasn't then and still isn't, so unusual that women were treated as being less important than men. Less than 100 years, in our own country, women didn't have the right to vote in elections only men did. Jesus was a pure human by pure I mean without ever sinning. Taking the form of human His body was not pure (less than human) As I mentioned above, this was done so He could relate to the human way of life and so He could suffer and die to make attonement for our sins. God does not and can not die. If it was OK to sin as much as we liked then God would be played as a fool. We wouldn't have to keep any rules, never keep the commandments, we could do whatever we wanted to do and feel that nothing would happen to us because we'll still go to heaven anyway. If a person believes in God and wants to be saved they need to try to do as God wants them to. Jesus preached and told people what they should and should not do. If people are going to listen to God they need to listen to what Jesus said and try their best to do it. If people could do whatever they pleased why would Jesus go through all the suffering, pain and crucifixion that He did? Why would He not just let people into heaven and not go through all that? Read the Bible. Talk to a pastor and find out more.

Answer 7

Here's your answer:

But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put You under oath by the living God: "Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!"
Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." (Matthew 26: 63, 64).

Then they all said, "Are You then the Son of God?" So He said to them, "You rightly say that I am." (Luke 22:70)

As for Jesus becoming a man...?
It was all in God's design for our (and your?) salvation. God sent His only Son to die in our place so that sinful man could be reconciled back to God. Jesus is the only man to have lived and died sinless. While on the cross, He took all the sins of man and woman - past, present and future - and suffered in our place the wrath of God Almighty. He died and rose from the dead 3 days later. Forgiveness for sin against God is found in Jesus alone. He is "the truth, the way, and the life."
Our God suffered because of us impure creatures and He loves us with a love that we can trust, but we'll NEVER fully understand it... It's a God-thing... Hope this helps...

Answer 8

Doesn't matter if Jesus said He was the son or not. GOD said He was. end of story.


In Isaiah 9:6-7
it says, Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. And what is the name of this son?
The "Mighty God" in the next verse.
. JESUS CHRIST IS: "THE MIGHTY GOD.
Isaiah vs 6:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. :)

Answer 9

Jesus isn't the LITERAL "son of" god. in those days, the title "son of" was given to someone who had a close relationship with or who was a part of something, in this case, Jesus has a real close relationship w/ god, because he is part of the holy trinity (god). Jesus didn't say he was god, because he was sinless, therefore HUMBLE> Jesus (god-incarnate) set the STANDARD for how we should live our lives: by being loving,HUMBLE,obedient, etc. Jesus came to earth inorder to be the PERFECT SACRIFICE to God. IF you recall, in the old testament, the hebrews would sacrifice goats to god, but these were NEVER ENOUGH to satisfy god and forgive our sins. Therefore, JEsus took the iniative to become the perfect sinless sacrfice, therefore forgiving our siNS>

Answer 10

Why do people insist on asking these questions and yet will not go to the bible, open it, and read the answers which have been there for thousands of years?

Every question you ask, God has put in His word so that we may know that His son is the only way to salvation. It is all there, if you take the time to read. If you truly wish to know the answers, go to the source.
