IS Jesus (peace be upon him) GOD? IF SO WHAT KIND?

Question

John 5:30
Jesus (pbuh) says:"I can of my own self DO NOTHING"

Mark 13:32
No-one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Wow so let me get this straight, a weak and powerless god and also NOT an allknowing god? Is this what you believe in?

Answer 1

Of course he's not, Jesus (PBUH) was a human only

Answer 2

Jesus is God the Son. God is made up of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Three divine persons, one God.

Matt. 4:7; Luke 4:12 - Jesus tells satan, "you shall not tempt the Lord your God" in reference to Himself.

Matt. 5:21-22; 27-28; 31-32; 33-34; 38-39; 43-44 - Jesus makes Himself equal to God when He declares, "You heard it said...but I say to you.."

Matt. 7:21-22; Luke 6:46 - not everyone who says to Jesus, "Lord, Lord." Jesus calls Himself Lord, which is God.

Matt. 9:2; Mark 2:5; Luke 5:20; 7:48 - Jesus forgives sins. Only God can forgive sins.

Matt. 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5 - Jesus says that He is "Lord of the Sabbath." He is the Lord of God's law which means He is God.

Matt. 18:20 - Jesus says where two or three are gathered in His name, there He is in the midst of them.

Matt. 21:3; Luke 19:31,34 - Jesus calls himself "Lord." "The Lord has need of them."

Matt. 26:64; Mark 14:62; Luke 22:70 - Jesus acknowledges that He is the Son of God.

Matt. 28:20 - Jesus said He is with us always, even unto the end of the world. Only God is omnipresent.

Mark 14:36 - Jesus calls God "Abba," Aramaic for daddy, which was an absolutely unprecedented address to God and demonstrates Jesus' unique intimacy with the Father.

Luke 8:39 - Luke reports that Jesus said "tell how much God has done for you." And the man declared how much Jesus did.

Luke 17:18 - Jesus asks why the other nine lepers did not come back to give praise to Him, God, except the Samaritan leper.

Luke 19:38,40 - Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. If these were silent, the very stones would cry out.

John 5:18 - Jesus claimed to be God. The Jews knew this because Jesus called God His Father and made Himself equal to God. This is why Jesus was crucified.

John 5:21-22 - Jesus gives life and says that all judgment has been given to Him by the Father.

John 5:23 - Jesus equates Himself with the Father, "whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him."

John 6:38 - Jesus says, "For I have come down from heaven."

John 8:12 - Jesus says "I am the light of the world." - 1 John 1:5 - God is light and in him there is no darkness at all.

John 8:19 - Jesus says, "if you knew me, you would know my Father also."

John 8:23 - Jesus says that He is not of this world. Only God is not of this world.

John 8:58 - Jesus says, "Before Abraham was, I AM." Exodus 3:14 - "I AM" means "Yahweh," which means God.

John 10:18 - Jesus says He has the power to lay down His life and take it up again - Gal. 1:1 - God raised Jesus to life.

John 10:30 - Jesus says, "I and the Father are one." They are equal. The Jews even claimed Jesus made Himself equal to God. Jesus' statement in John 14:28, "the Father is greater than I," cannot contradict John 10:30 (the Word of God is never in conflict). Jesus' statement in John 14:28 simply refers to His human messianic role as servant and slave, which He, and not the Father or the Holy Spirit, undertook in the flesh.

John 10:36 - again, Jesus claims that He is "the Son of God."

John 10:38; 14:10 - "the Father is in me and I am in the Father" means the Father and Son are equal.

John 12:45 - Jesus says, "He who sees Me sees Him who sent Me." God the Father is equal to God the Son.

John 13:13 - Jesus says, "You call me Teacher and Lord and you are right for so I AM."

John 14:6 - Jesus says "I am the way, and the truth and the life." Only God is the way, the truth and the life.

John 16:15 - Jesus says, "all things that the Father has are Mine." Jesus has everything God has which makes Him God.

John 16:28 - Jesus says that "He came from the Father and has come into the world."

John 17:5,24 - Jesus' desire is for us to behold His glory which He had before the foundation of the world.

John 20:17 - Jesus distinguishes His relationship to the Father from our relationship by saying "My Father and your Father."

Rev. 1:8 - God says He is the "Alpha and the Omega." In Rev. 22:13, Jesus also says He is the "Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the beginning and the end." The only possible conclusion one can reach is that Jesus is equal to the Lord God.

Rev. 1:17 - Jesus says again, "I am the First and the Last." This is in reference to the God prophesied by Isaiah in Isaiah 44:6, 41:4, 48:12.

Rev. 1:18 - Jesus, the First and the Last, also says "I died, and behold, I am alive for evermore." When did God ever die? He only did in the humanity of Jesus Christ our Lord and God.

Rev. 2:8 - Jesus again says, "The words of the First and the Last, who died and came to life." When did God die and come to life? In our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Answer 3

Please allow me to address your concerns, though I sense they are not sincere. In John Jesus is speaking of doing the will of God the Father. As He came to earth incarnate His desire always was to do the will of His Father, i.e. the Cross. So, yes there is an order God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All three co-eternal, co-equal.
In Mark Christ is again speaking to his humanity. As a human, having laid aside briefly his divinity, he did not know the day nor hour. But I assure you He is acutely aware in His divinity now and his return it is not far off.
He also gives all that receive Him as Lord and Saviour the total assurance of eternal salvation. There is no guessing where you stand with Him. You don't have to wait till death to see where you go and hope you did enough right to go to Heaven. Unlike Mohamed who had no idea where he was going at death. Because his god is so impotent he extended no grace, love, or mercy to those that follow him. Which God would you chose to serve?? One that loved you so much He came to die in your place and is so divine and powerful He arose from the tomb and promises you life after death. Or a god that is so weak and powerless he ask you to take life in his name?? So whose God is truly powerless and weak.. I think you already knew the truth. Open your heart to it now. Thank you for an opportunity to respond.

Answer 4

I love Jesus and what he came for and try to live by what he taught.he was not God. I have read the bible. I don't think anywhere in there it says that he was God. there is the Spirit of God which Jesus said would be here for us. THAT is all I have. I ask of it. I listen for the answer.I hear the answers in my heart and my mind. I try to do Gods will.That is what I am here for.All that call on my fathers name will not be saved only those that do my fathers will said Jesus.I do no not concern my self with anything but my relationship with the Spirit of God.a person came get all lost trying to figure out all that mess . especially in the old Jewish testament. full of old myths and story's.God worked thru his son Jesus. I love and trust God

Answer 5

1 John 5:7
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

.John 20:28
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

Thomas called Jesus God

Acts 20:28
28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

with His own blood? Wasnt that Jesus?

John 1:1-4,14

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Jesus was the word, the word was made flesh, Jesus was that..

Hebrews 1:8
8 But to the Son He says:
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

To the son he says.... Your throne "O God"


Hope that helps :-)

Answer 6

Jesus divinity is defined by His humility. His perfection of Man.

If you have a criticism with Him, then let us hear it.

Weak and powerless, you know better.

He was always, is, and forever will be with God, inseperable.

The Father, is at the center, the Son, in perfect unity with Him, by the Holy Spirit, are indeed, one in being.

EDIT

When will the Muslim faithful know, that what they do is argue an arguement that can only be effective against those who do not reason or who do not understand their own faith.

I cannot be won over by Sheik or Grand Ayatollah and it is not because I lack reason or belief in science. For, the truth is a sword that strikes in a duplicity.

Thus, Mohammad struggled against Christianity also. So, shall you, and it will entrench itself within you, that you need remember the basic tenet of your faith, lest you become as one with the Christians that you now attempt to win over with arguements.

May it be so.

Answer 7

Jesus is the God of this world and he has a spiritual perfect father that has a resurrected body just as we will have when the oceans gives up it's dead. He is an omnipotent God Who is in a position To see all things. His only begotten in the flesh was Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

Jesus always was, is, and always will be God. When he came to Earth he laid aside some of his attributes such as omnipresence -- he was limited to a finite human body. He did not know all things at all times as he did when he was in heaven in his glorified state.The reason he could do nothing without his Father was because they were one. They worked in everything exactly united.
One day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD!!!

Answer 9

He was made weak tto be the strength of all nations. In order for us to assimilate him, he had to be born of a virgin and spend time here spreading the message to Gentiles and correcting the follies of the Jewish pharisees and scribes. He is Son of God but aspect of God as well.

Before Abraham was, I AM.

Answer 10

He meant as a human in the 1st quote.
And the return in the 2nd quote....which is misquoted.

Nothing to do with all knowing.

But I guess someone who rapes a 9 year old at the age of 52, reccomends drinking camel urine and eating fly wings for luck is FAR better! LOL

Blessings,
David

Answer 11

Yes.

Matthew 9:6
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...." Then he said to the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat and go home."

Matthew 28
18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

John 5
7Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." 18For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

John 8
56Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad." 57"You are not yet fifty years old," the Jews said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!"

58"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" 59At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.

Colossians 2:9
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form

And the greatest scripture on the subject:

Philippians 2
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
