If jesus was GOD.....?

Question

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Mark 12:29 Jesus said "Here, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." The words "our God" indicate that Jesus had a higher God over him, a stronger God than him. Jesus didn't say "Your God". He said "our God" which includes Jesus as the creation of GOD.


If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 20:17 Jesus said I ascend to my God and your God? This tells us that we and Jesus have a common GOD.

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 8:28 Jesus said "I do nothing of myself"? Can't GOD do anything he wills?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 14:28 Jesus said "My Father (GOD) is greater than I"?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Luke 23:46 Jesus said "Father (GOD), into thy hands I commend my spirit"?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 19:16 Jesus said "Why call me good, there is none good but One, that is GOD"?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 26:39 Jesus fell on his face and prayed to his GOD?

If Jesus was GOD, then why did he pray to his GOD in Luke 5:16?

Answer 1

Jesus is our Lord and Savior, our Heavenly Father is His God and my God. Even Christ worships God the Father. As we worship one though, we are basically worshipping both since they are "one" in purpose.

Answer 2

As I am a Bible believer instinctively think in Oneness terms and not in trinitarian terms and I reject the Trinity doctrine and any religion that professes this belief since the belief in the Trinity God is both unchristian and unbiblical.

These False Apostles and Deceitful Workers did not see God as a single undifferentiated being but the God who revealed Himself as three persons.

The Lord has already gave us this warning and it is written, "Be not carried about with various and strange doctrines" Hebrews 13:9, and "believe not every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God or not." John 4:1

We are commanded to test all doctrines to see whether they are of God or not because the Babylonian Empire ceased to exist. We should have a healthy skepticism.

How many gods does God say there are? Scriptures that show there is only one God and it is written,

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me." Isa 46:9

Paul M...

In this verse when God said, “Let Us make man in Our image” Genesis 1:26.

These False Apostles says that the three Persons are communicating.

The truth is Paul M, This cannot be verified because there are "Unlimitled" definitions of God because God is not just three, God is "innumerable."

Answer 3

The fact is that Jesus is not God. He is the Son of God. He said that himself at John 10:36. The terms God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are not in the Bible. For that matter, there isn't even one verse that says God is made up of 3 co-equal, co-eternal persons.

Answer 4

I love your questions. I'm glad you are asked!

You need to read the verses before and after, as to not take the verses you mentioned out of context. If that doesn't help, read the entire passage.

It's easy to take Scripture out of context, so you'll want to do more research. ((Don't take my word for it...Trust God's Word!!!)) See below

John 1
Prologue: Christ, the Eternal Word
1 In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He existed in the beginning with God.
3 God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.
4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,
and his life brought light to everyone.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.
6 God sent a man, John the Baptist,[c] 7 to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. 8 John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light. 9 The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

10 He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. 11 He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. 12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.

That pretty much covers it...and since John was not only a disciple but also a friend of Jesus Christ of Nazareth...I believe he (John) was able to see, touch and learn from God.

See, God is Spirit. He came to Earth in the flesh (Jesus) and when He died on the cross, the Holy Spirit (Jesus' Spirit) came to Earth to dwell in us. The trinity, although the word is not found in the Biblical text, is mentioned by Jesus when He was telling His disciples to go out to all nations and baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Matt. 28:18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Answer 5

Jesus is not God. God is the father, the creator, the almighty, Jesus was an instrument of God to be used as an example and to bring the word of God to the earth

Answer 6

Jesus was God's human image. There is God, and Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The hand cannot work without the arm the foot without the leg. Jesus was always with God. The world was created by God through Jesus. 3seperate but all one working together. Jesus is part of God's 'body' that makes Him one with God.

Answer 7

Jesus is the God of this world, but he has a father which is the God of the universe. That's why in some parts of the Bible Jesus is called God, because he partially is, he has his fathers inheritance.

But to answer your question more directly there is God and there is his son Jesus Christ which died for our sins. Two separate personages.

Answer 8

Yes your references are referring to Christ when He was God in the flesh. See John 1,1and vse 14.
See Rev;1:5 and 1:8 then 1:17and 18
Cheers ol' Chap !

Answer 9

If Jesus isn't God, why would he say "Before Abraham was IAM?"
And, why would the Jews then take up stones to throw at him?
Answer: Because he just told them he is GOD. Jesus is 100% God and 100% man. He is the God-man. Otherwise, you would have NO HOPE of salvation. You better get this, lost man.

Answer 10
