Jesus and God are the same?

Question

No one disputes that Mary (a human) is the mother of Jesus, so doesn't that make Jesus that Christians pray to half human? And since God forbids worship of another god isn't that a serious sin?

Answer 1

A main principal of islam that accepts jesus as the messiah and a prophet. Not GOD. Son of man

Answer 2

Well basically... Jesus is God, and yeh he's human, but he wasn't born from conventional ways, he was born without Mary and Joseph ...(well you know).

He was human, bt he was also God cos a normal human doesn't reli turn water into wine, walk on water, or feed the five thousand with just a few fishes and a bit of bread. If God didn't want us to worship Jesus, than why would he give him all this power?

There are 322 prophercies that tell us where he would be born, what would happen in his life, and even how much money he would be betrayed by, and there are over 10 times as many accounts (so over 3220 accounts) that these happened. And the probability of that happenin again, in just one human lifetime, is one in 84 with a hundred 0s on the end. And that doesn't happen everyday!

So I guess he's a bit more than human!

But we don't have to stop there, cos if we just look at his horrific death, as soon as he dies 4 things happen:
1) there is an eclipse
2) there is a big earthquake
3) the temple curtain is ripped from top to bottom
4) people rise from the dead
so okay, this doesn't seem like much, bt how many times, when people die, do we see this? I'm guessing not many!

And if Jesus wan't God than why would he admit to being God, and therefore die in such a dramatic way, just to fulfill all 322 Messiahnic prophercies that weren't intended for him. (that's if he wasn't God) I dont think you or me would chose to die early! So he must have been God or a bit of a talented idiot! And i reckon that he's God!

Answer 3

The Bible contains several mysteries; and they are identified by the term "mystery"; and in part, your question is one of those identified.

Jesus Christ was not "half" anything. In order to complete the work that God the Father sent God the Son to do, He had to be 100% human so that He could be tested and tempted as all men, yet without sin; and He had to be 100% Divine, in order to be able to withstand those temptations and secure salvation for all mankind according to God, the Father's fore-ordained plan from the foundation of the world.

The mystery is that God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit are three in one; a mystery, difficult to understand and to explain; yet The Bible, both the Old and New Testaments provide clues to this mystery.

The gist of your question seems to be doesn't that make worshipping "another god" a sin. But Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity, the mystery of the one, true, living God, yet manifested in three distinct persons. If Jesus were not God, then, yes, worshipping Him would be a sin. But the true object of the Christian's worship is not merely Jesus, but God as manifested in the three distinct persons of the Trinity.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Yes, Jesus was fully human. He carried all the same genetic material as the first human who brought sin into the world. It was necessary to fulfill the Convenient of David. As the Lamb of God, he had to died as a sacrifice, with his soul (blood) spilled upon the ground, and his flesh destroyed by fire, just as was done when the Israelites sacrificed the lamb on the alter.

Though many like to think of him as God, the Greek word used to refer to God Almighty, and lesser gods, such as Jesus, is different. The Apostle John used four different Greek spellings for the word god. He never interchanged the two. The Bible also never refers to Jesus as Almighty God, but only as a Mighty God, which is created and receives its power from an Almighty God. Consider will you that Jesus is also never referred to as LORD in cap letters, as it is spelled differently from the title word Lord when referring to Jesus. The title word LORD is spelled YHWH in the oldest scrolls, but is replaced in newer translations, or versions, for fear that should the Bible be dropped, that dirt may get on God's name and defile it.

By purporting that Jesus is God Almighty says that people know better that what God has clearly expressed in his Scriptures. No where in the oldest scrolls does it say that God is a trinity. There is a scripture saying that, which was added in the 5th century.

Answer 5

jesus was one man.
god is the combination of all men
and all life, great and small, including
plants trees and everything
which makes you yourself an extension of
god just as it did jesus the man.
Thats what he was trying to tell you
when he said(so they say) he sits at the right hand.
as do you and everyone.
it was man when he attempted to write a book that attempts deciet and confusion about what
is really quite simple. it's the whole package combined that is GOD during life and after life etc.the good and the bad as well , all of it.

p.s. People don't to pray TO Mary they ask Mary's spirit to pray WITH them since prayer becomes stronger when more then one person pray's in unison or together. getting hung up on version's of religion is not a healthy place to get stuck, it's the founder of many war's and discontent amongst people, it's a trap set to keep people away from the things the man tried to teach people or help them envision.
I think what jesus meant by false gods was things like "Money" "gangs or groups of fanatics" "to be driven by sex" etc.looking up to symbols of different entity's or teachers over time is to strengthen prayer .
If you can abide by the 10 commandments then all else is irrelevent

Answer 6

Yes , Jesus was fully human and fully divine. We, as Christians, are NOT worshiping another God, Jesus is God. The Father, son and holy spirit are all ONE God, in three manifestations. Jesus is the son who came to earth in the flesh and sacrifice himself for our sins

Answer 7

Jesus was 100% God and 100% human

Answer 8

Jesus was fully human, and fully God. He set aside His deity for a time while on earth. He walked the earth as a man, except without sin. He did reveal His deity in one instance - the transfiguration (Matt. 17:1 - 7).

Answer 9

No Jesus isn't half human he's fully God. He took on human form but He was and is God.

Answer 10

Christian dogma says Jesus was both fully God and fully human.

I'll post this again. It's my favorite comedy monologue:

an excerpt from Foundations of Faith by Robert G. Ingersoll (1895):

"Christ, according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the Holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten --just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded from the Father and Son, but was equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say, before he existed, but he is of the same age of the other two.

So, it is declared that the Father is God, and the Son God and the Holy Ghost God, and that these three Gods make one God.

According to the celestial multiplication table, once one is three, and three times one is one, and according to heavenly subtraction if we take two from three, three are left. The addition is equally peculiar, if we add two to one we have but one. Each one is equal to himself and the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity."
