What makes Jesus God?

Question

I'm not asking here about verses to prove Jesus was God... But: ..
Did Jesus FEEL as God? ..
Did he BEHAVE as God? ..
Did he THINK as God? ..
Did he KNOW as God? ..
Did he ACT as God? ..
Did he TALK as God? ..


I cannot digest the theory that Jesus was keeping switching between God/man moods .

Answer 1

The Catholic Church deciding he is god, that is the only thing that makes jesus "God".

Answer 2

The relationship between Jesus and God in my opinion after digesting all the scripture on this subject is that it is a relationship we can not understand as living humans, that we can not adequately describe in words not even those who have been supernaturally made aware can do it justice or really understand it. Somewhere in the New Testiment it says one can not separate the soul from the spirit even though we be as sharp as a sword (paraphrase) These are two things each of us posesses as we live and breath and none of us can give an adequate description of how to separate (analyze) these. God and Jesus relationship in my studies seems to me very much like that relationship between our soul and our Spirit.

There are places where one can say ah ha they were the same being and there are places where any JW will show you in your own Bible that it would appear the two are separate. I think it is as hard to understand as how two waves on one sea are differant or the same, they are both same and yet visually you can distinguish one from the other.


This relationship between God and Jesus is not one that becomes clearer with study in fact it becomes more confusing.

Jesus said to have known Him was to have seen the Father so the answer to all your questions is yes, and Jesus prayed to the Father in front of everyone (was He trying to confuse or mislead) so the answer is no to all your questions.

Try not to understand, only love trust and obey because in the end your very existance (be it one with all, or have some simblance of individuality) may depend on it.

ABOVE ALL DO NOT LET THIS AREA OF KNOWLEDGE SEPARATE YOU FROM OTHER FRIENDS OF GOD, BE IN ONE ACCORD CUZ THERE IS DEFINATELY NO QUESTION THAT THOSE ARE THE MARCHING ORDERS GIVEN TO US ALL.

Answer 3

Question: "Is Jesus God? Did Jesus ever claim to be God?"



Answer: Jesus is never recorded in the Bible as saying the exact words, “I am God.” That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God. Take for example Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” At first glance, this might not seem to be a claim to be God. However, look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement, “We are not stoning you for any of these, replied the Jews, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood Jesus’ statement to be a claim to be God. In the following verses, Jesus never corrects the Jews by saying, “I did not claim to be God.” That indicates Jesus was truly saying He was God by declaring, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30). John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!" Again, in response, the Jews take up stones in an attempt to stone Jesus (John 8:59). Why would the Jews want to stone Jesus if He hadn’t said something they believed to be blasphemous, namely, a claim to be God?



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. Acts 20:28 tells us, "...Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood." Who bought the church with His own blood? Jesus Christ. Acts 20:28 declares that God purchased the church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God!



Thomas the disciple declared concerning Jesus, “Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. Titus 2:13 encourages us to wait for the coming of our God and Savior - Jesus Christ (see also 2 Peter 1:1). In Hebrews 1:8, the Father declares of Jesus, "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."



In Revelation, an angel instructed the Apostle John to only worship God (Revelation 19:10). Several times in Scripture Jesus receives worship (Matthew 2:11; 14:33; 28:9,17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38). He never rebukes people for worshiping Him. If Jesus were not God, He would have told people to not worship Him, just as the angel in Revelation had. There are many other verses and passages of Scripture that argue for Jesus’ deity.

Answer 4

purely speculative thinking but I believe since their hearsay or verses seem to disagree with each other; that Jesus being a great thinker was using the concept of god for manipulative
means to convert barbarian times and people to become civilized
and spiritually evolved . Does anyone think illiterate ignorant people of those times could begin to understand at today's
level without superstition and tricks .... much as the aristocracy
justifies secrecy in govt for security reasons the philosophy of Christ required god to carry over the already formed religions of the day into christian thinking a reformation of that days current thinking.Did the end justify the means ? Idon't know But I believe the god of christ was merely a tool of the spirit.

Answer 5

Well you are correct. Jesus in the bible is referred to Mighty God, he is divine,, but further if one is to pay attention Jesus never accepts worship from anyone. He also does something else,, he gives glory to God. In fact Colossians 1:15 refers to Gods first born son. this is true because if you compare proverbs 8:22-31 Jesus explains his role in Gods arrangement. this is most simplified by the verse in the bible head of the woman is the man, head of the man is Christ, and the head of the Jesus is God...

Recall that also it is Jesus gives the kingdom back to God his father. In a nutshell there is not trinity.. But Jesus has been given Power, Authority, and Heavenly Position in heaven to rule and judge. So In answer,, Jesus of course would of felt God, and he did Behave like God, because he was referred as the image of God, which include his thought, knowledge of God and yes talk as God.

Answer 6

It not what makes Jesus God. Nothing can make Jesus God. Rather it is God who took on human flesh in the Person of Jesus Christ. Jesus was God in the flesh, and not man becoming God. You need to adjust your perspective on this, then things become much more clearer.

Answer 7

While he was on Earth as a man he gave up certain thing, omnipresence for one thing.
As human he felt as human so in that sence he didn't feel as God since God can't feel physical pain.
He behaived in some ways as god when he healed and such
He did think as God because he could read people's minds
He knew all except when the father would return
He acted as God in that he couldn't sin
He talked as a human but with the words of God

Answer 8

Jesus was God in flesh. Jesus felt all the emotions and feelings as any man would. The answer to your questions are yes and also the answer to your questions if you change God to man the answers would be yes. God came to live in the flesh on this earth to give us and example and to be crucified and defeat death to provide salvation on belief. God did this for proof positive for those who need some tangible evidence to believe.

Answer 9

For a very, very brief moment in Jesus' eternity, He wore the cloak of humanity in order to perfect the gift of salvation. (I'm assuming that this is your "switching between God/man moods")

Both before, and AFTER, this brief moment, Jesus IS God, as the Son of the one true God.

Answer 10

God came to earth in a human body in the form of Jesus. God the Father could not die on the cross for world's sins because he is spirit. Jesus Christ shed his holy blood from a human body to gain our salvation.

Answer 11

Jesus is God because the Trinity is One, therefore making Jesus the Son part of God the Father.
