Honest question to Christians?

Question

Then the Master Jesus, after briefing them, was taken up to heaven, and he sat down beside God in the place of honor.
This is in Mark 16, the last verses.
Can someone explain this if Jesus(pbuh) is God?

that is why was he sitting next to God if he finally ascended to his kingdom in heaven?

Answer 1

Jesus sat by God the Father. The trinity can be a bit confusing, I must confess that it boggles my mind sometimes. God the Father, is God. Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God, but Jesus is not the Father, the Father is not the Son and the HolySpirit is neither the Father nor the Son. But they are all God.

Sort of like humans, we have a physical body, a spiritual body and a mind. Three in one. Or look at water, you have liquid, solid and gas. Three in one, they are all still H2O, but in different forms.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

THE TRINITY CONCEPT IS DECEPTION AND GOD AND JESUS IS ONE ONLY IN THE WAY THEY THINK, THE PLAN FOR MANKIND. IT IS GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS THE SON. GOD IS A FAMILY AND IS REPRODUCING HISSELF WITH THOSE WHO KEEP HIS LAWS.
It may first be noted that the words “in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” (KJ) found in older translations at 1 John 5:7 are actually spurious additions to the original text. A footnote in The Jerusalem Bible, a Catholic translation, says that these words are “not in any of the early Greek MSS [manuscripts], or any of the early translations, or in the best MSS of the Vulg[ate] itself.” A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, by Bruce Metzger (1975, pp. 716-718), traces in detail the history of the spurious passage. It states that the passage is first found in a treatise entitled Liber Apologeticus, of the fourth century, and that it appears in Old Latin and Vulgate manuscripts of the Scriptures, beginning in the sixth century. Modern translations as a whole, both Catholic and Protestant, do not include them in the main body of the text, because of recognizing their spurious nature.—RS, NE, NAB.

Other evidence of its impersonal nature. Further evidence against the idea of personality as regards the holy spirit is the way it is used in association with other impersonal things, such as water and fire (Mt 3:11; Mr 1:8); and Christians are spoken of as being baptized “in holy spirit.” (Ac 1:5; 11:16) Persons are urged to become “filled with spirit” instead of with wine. (Eph 5:18) So, too, persons are spoken of as being ‘filled’ with it along with such qualities as wisdom and faith (Ac 6:3, 5; 11:24) or joy (Ac 13:52); and holy spirit is inserted, or sandwiched in, with a number of such qualities at 2 Corinthians 6:6. It is most unlikely that such expressions would be made if the holy spirit were a divine person. As to the spirit’s ‘bearing witness’ (Ac 5:32; 20:23), it may be noted that the same thing is said of the water and the blood at 1 John 5:6-8. While some texts refer to the spirit as ‘witnessing,’ ‘speaking,’ or ‘saying’ things, other texts make clear that it spoke through persons, having no personal voice of its own. (Compare Heb 3:7; 10:15-17; Ps 95:7; Jer 31:33, 34; Ac 19:2-6; 21:4; 28:25.)

Answer 3

First, it has to be established that God values us believing Him much more than understanding everything completely. Perhaps this is why God in His Word does not really emphasize the three-fold nature of God because we can't understand it. It is definitely taught, though, in the scriptures. John 1:1 states, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was WITH God, and the Word WAS God. And the Word became flesh and came and dwelt among men." Also the scripture, "Hear O Israel, the Lord your God is ONE God". Yes there is one God in three Persons. They are perfect in agreement and purpose. C.S. Lewis wrote that any ordinary man can experience this threefold nature of God in his own bedroom if he likes. When he prays, he is praying to the Father, through the Son who is our bridge to God, and in the power of the Holy Spirit who indwells us and tells us how to pray.

Answer 4

Yes Jesus is God. He is in three forms, but one God. There is Father God, Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit. One God, three parts.

Answer 5

Jesus is the son of God, not God.

Answer 6

On earth he is three Gods...Himself, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. When he ascended to heaven, he joined his father and became ONE. God is three together.

:) :) :) :) :)

Answer 7

Pretty self explanatory to me.....He set down beside GOD.

So Jesus must be someone else...perhaps the SON of GOD.

Answer 8

As long as you continue to use that sanctimonious bit pbuh , no-one wiill take you as serious.

Answer 9

the scripture has a deeper meaning.
