what is the difference between god and Jesus?

Question

I'm not a real religious person, and have always been to embarrassed to ask any one but what is the difference between god and Jesus

Answer 1

This analogy may help. You can think of the image of the sun reflected in a mirror. If you look into the mirror you can see the sun in it. You can say that the sun is in the mirror. The mirror also reflects all the qualities and attributes of the sun - light, heat etc..- The mirror could say then that the sun is in me. That is what Jesus means when he says that the Father is in Him. Jesus is a perfect mirror which reflects all the attributes and perfections of God. But at the same time the mirror is not the sun. That is when Jesus says that the Father is greater than Him. The rays of the sun emanating from the sun and reflected in the mirror is the Holy Spirit.

Answer 2

The Lord God wrote the 10 commandments in stone with the finger of God Exodus 20.
It is Written. The Lord thy God is One God.

Lord is Yahweh (Hebrew) and God is Elohim (Hebrew). Elohim also was in the beginning and created the heavens and the earth. So Elohim is plural of EL or ALH and we are created in the image of God/ Elohim; body, soul & spirit.

Elohim is God; Father, Word/Son & Holy Spirit. (Blessed Trinity).

Jesus is the Son of God. Word part of the Trinity that came from heaven to earth to show us the Way.

No one has seen God the Father at any time. Only Jesus, the Son of God. God the Father is too strong and too bright for any thing to give Him justice. When we have seen Jesus, Jesus is the express image of God the Father.

When Jesus was baptised the Trinity was there. The Holy Spirit was upon Him in the form of a dove, and the Father said from the heavens, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

God so loved the people of the world that He sent His Only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him will not perish but will have ever lasting life. Jesus said, "I AM the Way Truth & Life. No one comes to the Father except through me."


Also, to help you discern what is truth about the Son of God: It is written in 1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ. He is an antichrist that denies the Father and the Son. Whosoever denies the Son , the same has not the Father.

Also, Jesus is not Michael the Arch Angel. Jesus is Creator with the Father and the Spirit.

Answer 3

There are three parts to God
God the Father
God the Son
and God the Holy Spirit
This is referred to as the Trinity or the Triune nature of God. Each part of God has a specific role. It is sort of like this; I am a Mom and I am a wife and I am a friend.

Jesus was with God at Creation. God sent Jesus to become man in order to make a way for us to have the payment for our sins paid for us. Jesus did that when He shed His blood on the cross. That was the payment for sins.

When Jesus died He did not stay dead. He was resurrected after 3 days and is now at God's right hand in heaven. When Jesus left to be with God in heaven He left His Holy Spirit to dwell with believers.

This is an easy format to ask questions don't be embarrassed, it's a good question. You will be getting lots of different answers I'm sure. My suggestion is to study the bible for yourself. Ask questions, check answers against the Word of God.

Answer 4

In the end God will be your Judge,and Jesus will be your Redeemer if you have excepted Him.Often we see God as a loving God and so He is,but He is also a righteous Judge.Today if we had a judge who would let some off free and others he would treat cruelly,we would say that judge was a unjust judge.God is not unjust,and yet,He demands justice be served.If God failed to see that justice was served,He to would be unjust.We are all guilty of sin,and the wages of sin is death.Jesus paid that price when He died on the cross so those who except Him might live.I would like to encourage you to ask God to help you get a better understanding of all of this.I will be praying with you as well.

Answer 5

If you are Christian then God is the almighty and Jesus is his son. Jesus was born from a woman so he is technically part man. If you beleive in the Holy Trinity (some christians do, some christians dont) you beleive that Jesus is just another manifestation of God, like the holy spirit. The trinity is comprised of the father (God), the son (Jesus) and the Holy Ghost.

Answer 6

You will get different answers depending on the beliefs of the people you ask.

I think God is Love. It is the Power of Love - and it works in and through all things.

Jesus was a guy who came here 2006 years ago and he really understood about God/Love and he told everybody about it. He said he was the "son of God" - but then - I think that really - we are all children of God. Jesus was just really into the whole God message. He was a martyr.

Answer 7

Jehovah God is the Almighty Supreme Sovereign of the Universe...the Creator and Father.

Jesus Christ is his Son...the firstborn of all creation. God's only directly created Son, his only-begotten Son

Many people try to say that Jesus is God, but it is a false teaching.

Matthew 3:16 & 17: "After being baptized Jesus immediately came up from the water; and, look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw descending like a dove God’s spirit coming upon him. 17 Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.”

John 3:16: "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."

Answer 8

Christ is the Son of God. Meaning the representative of God. He has completely realized his relationship with God (Krishna, Allah,Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama, Etc.) God is in every ones heart but Jesus is in full contact with God in the heart. (holy ghost) They are one and different. The son never becomes the father as some foolish will try to tell you. example "My Father is greater then I." John 14:2 Many things have been taken from the Bible such as Reincarnation and Vegetarianism by evil King Constantine and so many others.

Answer 9

They are both parts of the Triune God

-God the Father,
-God the Son (Jesus)
-The Holy Spirit

Answer 10

God's name is Jehovah, and Jesus was created by him as an angel first. They then worked together creating everything else. When the time came, Jesus was transferred from an angel into Mary's womb and became Jesus who died for our sins, and then, his reward was to become a God with eternal life.
Remember, the angels can die just as we can, but they are smarter and don't commit the sins we do.
