Who was Jesus Christ?

Question

What's your opinion? Was he the biological actual son of God, or just a figurative one? Was he a prophet, a seer, or just a regular guy?

All faiths welcome to respond!

Answer 1

he was/is the son of god and the goddess,

Answer 2

Jesus is God made flesh. He's the promised Messiah. The whole Bible talks about Jesus. The Old Testament anounces His first coming and sacrifice, and the New Testament tells us what His life and sacrifice mean for us. There are more than 125 prophecies in the Bible concerning the Messiah, and all of them are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The fact that even eight of those prophecies would be fulfilled in One Man can't be a coincidence.

Was Jesus a regular Man?

No, the Bible tells us in the Old Testament that the Messiah is God:

Isaiah 9: 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.

Isaiah 7 : 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Immanuel means "God with us". Besides, the name "Christ" is the greek term for Messiah.

Jesus did all the Messiah was to do:

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18,19)

Jesus declared He was the Son of God. We know He was not a liar, because --as someone said-- "He had a lot of opportunities to lie and save His life, and He didn't".

Answer 3

John 1:1 says that “the Word was God.” John 1:14 says that “the Word became flesh.” This clearly indicates that Jesus is God in the flesh. Thomas the disciple declared to Jesus, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. The Apostle Paul describes Him as, “…our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). The Apostle Peter says the same, “…our God and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:1). God the Father is witness of Jesus’ full identity as well, “But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.” Old Testament prophecies of Christ announce His deity, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”


[And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. ]
1 Timothy 3:16

Answer 4

The name Jesus (Gr., I·e·sous′) corresponds to the Hebrew name Jeshua (or, in fuller form, Jehoshua), meaning “Jehovah Is Salvation.” The name itself was not unusual, many men being so named in that period. For this reason persons often added further identification, saying, “Jesus the Nazarene.” (Mr 10:47; Ac 2:22) Christ is from the Greek Khri·stos′, the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma·shi′ach (Messiah), and means “Anointed One.” Whereas the expression “anointed one” was properly applied to others before Jesus, such as Moses, Aaron, and David (Heb 11:24-26; Le 4:3; 8:12; 2Sa 22:51), the position, office, or service to which these were anointed only prefigured the superior position, office, and service of Jesus Christ. Jesus is therefore preeminently and uniquely “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”—Mt 16:16;
The person who became known as Jesus Christ did not begin life here on earth. He himself spoke of his prehuman heavenly life. (Joh 3:13; 6:38, 62; 8:23, 42, 58) This one was in the beginning with God.” Since Jehovah is eternal and had no beginning (Ps 90:2; Re 15:3), the Word’s being with God from “the beginning” must here refer to the beginning of Jehovah’s creative works. This is confirmed by other texts identifying Jesus as “the firstborn of all creation,” “the beginning of the creation by God.” (Col 1:15; Re 1:1; 3:14) Thus the Scriptures identify the Word (Jesus in his prehuman existence) as God’s first creation, his firstborn Son.

Answer 5

Jesus Christ, The only-begotten Son of God, the only Son produced by Jehovah alone. This Son is the firstborn of all creation. By means of him all other things in heaven and on earth were created. He is the second-greatest personage in the universe. It is this Son whom Jehovah sent to the earth to give his life as a ransom for mankind, thus opening the way to eternal life for those of Adam's offspring who would exercise faith. This same Son, restored to heavenly glory, now rules as King, with authority to destroy all the wicked and to carry out his Father's original purpose for the earth

Answer 6

This question is the most important question ever asked. It is a question everyone will eventually have to answer.

Was Jesus just a man or was He who He said that He was? Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Creator, Sustainer, Captain of the hosts of heaven, Redeemer, Savior, Master, Almighty God, The first and the last, The lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, Our Substitute, The living water, The bread of life, The light of the world, The resurrection and the life.

The answer will change the way you live and how you interact with your fellow man.

Jesus is all the world to me. He is my life, my strength, my all. In Him all my hopes and dreams reside. He is my fortress and my refuge, my help in times of trouble, my guide, who is not ashamed to call me brother. He is fully God, one with the father, my High Priest, my sacrifice, my life.

Answer 7

He is the Messiah. The Son of God. The Savior. The Word of God. The only Begotten of God. The last Prophet that was to come. He is the Judge of the earth too.

Answer 9

Shadow Arysa,
Better written: Who is Jesus Christ?

ANSWER:
God.
Jesus Christ is the Word of God.
As is the same with you when you wrote this question.
You, Shadow Arysa are the words you wrote.

If you have your Bible handy, go to the New Testament and find the Gospel according to John. Start reading at the first verse.

This is what you will find: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

so there you have your answer in simplicity. Jesus Christ ( Yahashua, Yeshua ) is God with us. Isn't that just fantastic.
To me its wonderful that God would come to Earth in the flesh and die for us so that we all could after accepting Him and repenting have our place in Heaven along side of Him.><>

Answer 10

He is the only begotten son of God, the messiah, God's master worker and co-creator, our savior, the only mediator between God and man, the designated king of God's Kingdom, the only one created by God alone.

Answer 11
