Answer 1

Thier just making it up as they go along

Answer 2

There is more than one definition for the word God. The first one is Creator. That is the Father Jehovah who is the Holy Spirit, so that is one person; 2Cor.3:17.

His Son is Jesus. Jesus is called a Mighty God. Which means a mighty *ruler*; Webster's on line dictionary, see definitions of god. Jesus worships the Father the only true God. Isaiah 9:6, Rev. 3:12.

To me, it is sad that you say No to Jesus, but everyone has free will. I personally appreciate the love Jesus has showed me. Tina

Answer 3

Note: enlightenment experience transcends dualistic thinking, with the 'self' being seen as an artificial construct. Therefore, any description of 'ultimate reality' must be impossible. Given that, I can only assume that Jesus' teachings on non-dualism were not understood well and that early theologians attempted to understand them in the context of their dualistic thought system and, therefore, came up with an iffy concept of the Holy Trinity. In the end, though, the concepts are not important; it's how they're used. If you use it to bash Christians, you're only re-enforcing the ego/self which is the root of all problems. If you see it as a concept that people can use as part of a path that seeks to point to the mystery of existence, then this can be helpful.

Answer 4

The Bible shows very clearly that there is only one God, and yet that there are three personal distinctions in His complex nature, traditionally referred to as "three Persons in the Godhead"—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each is distinct from the others but never acts independently. They are one in nature and purpose. This mystery is called the doctrine of the Trinity, though that term is not used in the Bible. The teaching, however, is present in seed form in the Old Testament and is revealed explicitly in the New Testament. Note passages such as Matthew 28:19; John 10:30, 14:26; 2 Corinthians 13:14.

Our finite minds cannot understand or explain this mystery of God, which is nevertheless a fact. We must accept the truths found in the Word of God by faith even though we ourselves cannot comprehend them fully; read Hebrews 11:1,3,6 and 1 Corinthians 2:5-10;14; 13:12. It is really not surprising that the infinite God should be complex in His nature beyond the ability of finite humans to comprehend! This doctrine is absolutely essential to New Testament Christianity. Theologians have pointed out that if it were not true, the Bible would be unreliable, Christ would not be divine, and His death on the cross would not atone for our sins, being merely the death of a martyr.
Since the Bible affirms that Jesus is God, it is often perplexing to note that Jesus addresses God in prayer. The answer to this, as well as to all references to Jesus as tired, hungry, weeping, lacking knowledge, etc., is that Jesus was a true man, as well as God. The second Person of the Trinity, God the Son, took upon Himself complete humanity, except for our sinful nature, when He was conceived in Mary. He is described by theologians as one Divine Person having two natures, divine and human—the God-man.

Passages of Scripture which describe Jesus' limitations are referring to His humanity. He lived His life as a true man, depending upon His heavenly Father day by day, just as we are expected to do. Many believe that even His miracles and supernatural knowledge were enabled by the Holy Spirit, not accomplished by switching back and forth between His divine and human natures. When Jesus cried from the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" He was expressing from His human consciousness the terrible sense of being separated from His heavenly Father as He suffered the penalty for the world's sin. He, of course, with respect to His divine nature, could not suffer or die. In all of this great mystery, we have only glimmers of truth which is beyond human comprehension.

Answer 5

Jesus recieved the TITLE "son of" God, when he became a human. As the only sinless person, Jesus became the "chosen one" or the "inheritor" of god's kingdom and power> god became human inorder for our minds to relate and understand god more closely. Yet, God's nature is to exist in three persons. Our brians can't comprehend god, just like a protozoa can't comprehend our nature>

Answer 6

one of the reasons Jesus inherited the title 'Son of God', is because out of all the people born on earth, He is the only biological child of God. the Bible tells us dat the Holy Spirit overshadowed the virgin mary and she conceivd jesus. and no Adam is not the son of God also, because he was created not born.
another reason why he's given dat title is because he fulfils the firts commandment with promise, Ephesians 6:1-3 says, Children obey your parents in the Lord...honour your father and Mother ... that you may live long on earth.' Jesus only did what his Fahter in Heaven told him, was totally obediant to the will of God. out of his obrdiance he has reaped dat he stilkl lives today, seated beside His Father in heaven and livin in us believers hu hav exceptd him.

say yes to Christ, dont be so quick to judge what you dont understand. if you're humble enuff to ask God for wisodm and spiritual insight you'll understand that Christianity is more than a religion and the Bible is more than a book. the bible says, that '...He is a reward of them that diligently seek him.' take time to study the word and seek God for yourself, i promise, you'll not be disappointed.

God bless

Answer 7

You are exactly right. Jesus is not the almighty God. He is very powerful and is to be deeply loved and respected but not worshiped. Worship only the true God, that is what Jesus told us to do.

Answer 8

They are all one in the same, and separate when they need to accomplish the will of God. Only someone with fatih in God would understand that.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding

Answer 9

Or at least goodbye to the dogmatic Trinitarianism that has saddled Christianity since Nicea.

Answer 10

They've been arguing about that since Christianity started.
