Answer 1

I wish I would succeed in explaining it to you. But let me tell you that not until this very moment, you can find some one no matter how religious or a saint like he is, can understand the Trinity of God. The Godhead or the One God who created every thing in this universe, whether seen or unseen, form a Trinity of being. There is one God not three Gods. The Father represent the Mind behind every thing created. The Son, represent a Being from the same essence of the Father and very equal to the Father and represents the word of God. Then the Holy Spirit, which represent existence of God every where in the Universe and has no limit to his being as He is infinite and His existence is infinite. When its God's will to create something, it is formed in the Mind of the Father, When the word of God proceeds from the mouth of God, it becomes reality through the power of the Holy Spirit who execute the thought and the word that uttered to create. God relation Ship with the Son is a relationship of LOVE. God's Love existed before the creation of every thing. Although the Son represents the Word of God, but He is also the Son of God that God the Father has in His bosom before the creation of the Universe, and there is always a relationship of Love between the Father and the Son. The Son isn't created but is with the Father enjoying the Love of the Father God who is described in one word as LOVE. God is Love. Without the existence of the Son with the Father, there can be no Love that proceeds from the Father to the Son. If there is no Holy Spirit the creation can be uncontrolled and in chaos without the laws that makes the creation of the Universe orderly. The existence of the Holy Spirit with The Father and the Son thus makes the entity of the God complete and perfect. Man is like God: he is Spirit, Soul and Body. Were there is no Son with the Father, God cannot exist. If God isn't resembled and always emitting Love from His Being, then God cannot exist. A God that is not God of Love cannot exist. God showed us His Love by sending His only begotten Son whom He Loved before the creation of the Universe so that who ever believes in Him shall never die but has an everlasting Life.From Christ we came to understand that eternal Love of God the Father. If The Son doesn't exist, neither the Father nor the Holy Spirit can exist.

Heb.9:14-16; The New Testament required the death of the testator.

John 17:3,5,24 [ Jesus was with God before the world was in Eden 6,072 years ago];
Job 38:4-7 [ all the angels were there to see earth become the focus for habitation ];
Note all angels are called morning stars or sons of God Luke 20:34-36 angels do not die Rev.22:16 Jesus is called the bright and morning star, the son of God and of man.
Eze.28:13-15 [ Isa.14:12-14; Job 2:1,2; The cherub anointed over Eden became Satan, serpent, dragon Rev.12:6-11,12,14,17; Rev.17:1-4 world with him has a TIME LIMIT.

Heb..2:9,14,16 [ Jesus has the right to destroy Satan, 1Cor.15:22-28 Jesus has the right to destroy death ]; HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE THE WORLD LOST IN EDEN:
Heb.9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb.9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb.9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

Matt.26:53 Jesus could have had twelve legions [ 72, 000 ] angel assist him, if wanted.

Answer 3

I don't believe in the Trinity, so this particular idea has always been a little easier for me.

You and me and every other human being that was or ever will be born-- we have 2 basic parts- a spirit and a physical body. Our physical bodies have parents, and so do our spirits. Although our physical bodies don't have the same parents (mine live in Utah), our spirits do. This includes Jesus. His spirit came from the same source as yours and mine. Granted, He was a lot better (smarter, righteous, obedient to God, etc) "person" than you or I....

Anyway, to make a long story short, God (Father), through His power, caused Mary to conceive before she ever had sex. Because Jesus' body didn't come into existance through the usual method, but by God's power, Jesus is called "the Only Begotten in the Flesh".... Jesus' body is the fruit of God's power, by way of Mary's body.


BTW- I am Christian, still believe that Jesus is/was savior of each human being that acknowledges what He's done for us.

Answer 4

I know, I am confused too. First they say Jesus is God's son, but Jesus is God? Don't think about it too much, you might hurt your brain. Remember the Holy Trinity? God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God can be 3 different people, but only 1. Yeah, I guess he can do that.

Answer 5

The concept is that Jesus was unique, being the only child of God to be incarante (living) on this world. But under the trinity model, Jesus was not all of God, just the incarnate aspect or part of God.

So, saying Jesus = God is not accurate. Any more than saying your heart = your entire body. But one is part of the other, and some say the most important part in a lot of situations.

Answer 6

Only begotten--God created His first born by Himself and for Himself, All Other creation was created through Jesus and for Jesus because of God's great love for him as His firstborn.

Now, not to confuse, but, the firstborn's name in Heaven is Michael the Archangel and it is Jesus, here on earth.

JOHN 14:8--The Father is greater than I--Jesus speaking, folks.

Matt. 6:9------Our Father, Who art in Heaven---This prayer taught by Jesus
Is he praying to himself?

John 4:24---God is a spirit, and those that worship Him,must worship with spirit and Truth--again, Jesus words

1 Cor. 15:24-25---Next,the End, when he hands over the Kingdom to his, (Jesus), God and Father---
For he, (Jesus), must rule as King until God has put all enemies under his, (Jesus), feet--Apostle Paul speaking--

Answer 7

The trinity is not an easy thing to understand, I'll try to explain it as best I can. It is composed of three parts, the father, the son, and the holy ghost. They are all seperate but they are connected in a way too. Let me explain it this way. (this probably isnt a good comparison but it will help you understand) Take the government of the United States. It is one government, but it is composed of three different branches. It is the same with the trinity, they are one yet they are 3 different things at the same time. The best thing to do in a case like this is to ask God to help you understand, and to give you wisdom. God bless you.

Answer 8

God promist through the old testiment and a lot in psalms to send Yeshua to isreal for their sins at some points it even mentions a son any way yeshu'ah means salvation and a son was the closest relation ship to jews that of a father and son so when God wonted to send his salvation ( yeshu'ah ) he gave mary ( Miryam) the child and told Joseph her betrothed ( husband ) to call him Yeshua but Mary was told he would be called the son of God. I think it was simply the best way God could expain the closeness at that time

Answer 9

Jesus is the "Only-begotten" son of God as well as the "Firstborn" son of God. = Seemingly confusing contradiction.
"Only-begotten" = Only Son
"Firstborn" = First of more than 1.
All angels are referred to as sons of God. Job 2:1; 38:7
Human servants of God are sometimes referred to as sons.

Jesus is both "Only-begotten" and "Firstborn depending on the perspective of the discussion. But one has to understand the truth regarding who Jesus is.

TRUTH: Jesus is not God Almighty but God's son. John 3:16 God (Father) loved world and gave "Only-begotten" son (Jesus).
At one point is time before the universe, before any spirit sons were created, there was only God. He decided to start making / creating things and the first thing he made was "An image" of himself. The being we came to know as Jesus. This spirit person's formation was by God (The father) alone, there was no one to assist him as a helper. = "Only-begotten". After they were together for countless googleplex of years, they decided to begin creating other life forms.
They started with other spirit beings (commonly called angels). From this referrence Jesus becomes known as "Firstborn". However, he (Jesus) worked alongside his father in making everything. Col. 1:14-16 states he is the firstborn of every creature... God is not a creature. It also refers to him (Jesus) as the image of God. Heb. 1:3 calls him an exact representation of the father.
In time their working together included the physical realm and the stars, planets, solar systems were created. Earth was prepared for physical beings. Genesis account takes up the preparation of earth for man, and chronicle's the history of mankind.

One explanation for all the confusion is that Jesus actually made everything but is not credited with being creator. He is so much like his father some think he is. Still, the bible is very clear that Jesus the son, and the God the father are not the same being.

Other referrences to consider are included below. I hope that helps, also that you were genuine in your question.

Answer 10

God created a body to indwell as the sacrifice for sin.. Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh, not the second person the the (mythical)trinity. There was no sacrifice that could cleanse man from sin, except the Holy blood that flowed in the veins of Jesus Christ. God is Spirit. Jesus Christ is flesh. There is one God who has revealed Himself in these two different offices.
