christians say that jesus is god....when he dies on the cross who was taking care of the universe?

Answer 1

His Father who was in heaven, was ruling the universe. Jesus phsically died. While he was sleeping in death for three days, his God and Father was very much alive. Jesus had to die for our sins and to give us the hope of living forever. If Jesus died, yet was still able to rule over us in heaven, then he did not really die, therefore his sacrificial death meant nothing. This is what the churches of Christendom want people to believe, and unfortunately many do.
They cannot understand that Jesus really died, and his Father continued to rule. This would make them two separate spirit beings and they refuse to see this.Jesus is not God. God is immortal and cannot die. It is impossible for someone who is immortal to do so.

Answer 2

The Bible says that God rested on the 7th day--He did not abandon the universe. and Like wise when Jesus was dying on THAT CROSS--the same one who made it all Died as well. it was high noon--the sun went out. and it all became black--iam guessing that the stars also went out. there was a terrible earthquake--and the feeling inside the people there at the time that GOD DIED. if u have ever felt like you had NO HOPE at all--u would understand this feeling of DEATH--and that is what caused the people to say that they realised too late that they had surely Killed the Son of God--God in human form. now, God in Spirit form was also part of that death--but he had to hurry and come back alive--so that the universe could keep on going as it was supposed to do and that's why we hear Jesus say "Father why did u forsake me?" no one was really forsaken--not us and not Jesus--it just felt like it at the time.

Answer 3

It's called the Trinity. Jesus the Son died, but God the Father was in control. And the Holy Spirit was somewhere else, I think Mexico.

Answer 4

God

He can be in three places at once:

Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Jesus is in the water; Holy Spirit is coming down; and God is in heaven talking.

Mark 9:5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Mark 9:6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
Mark 9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

Upon the mountain is Jesus, and God agains speaks fro heaven

Answer 5

Jesus, fully God AND fully human.

Through the years, some theologians have used Philippians 2:6-7 to defend the idea that the second Person of the Godhead, at the time of the incarnation (when “the Word became flesh”—John 1:14), “emptied Himself” of deity. It has been alleged that whereas Christ existed in the “form of God” prior to the incarnation, He “emptied” himself of that status while on Earth.

Despite the popularity of such ideas in some religious circles, they cannot be proven by citing Philippians 2:6-7 or any other passage in the Bible. In Philippians 2:7, Paul wrote that Jesus “emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.” Exactly what did the apostle mean by the phrase, “emptied himself”? Because it is assumed that the verb “emptied” (Greek ekenōsen) requires an object (a genitive qualifier), then Christ must have “emptied himself” of something. However, as Gordon Fee has mentioned in his commentary on Philippians, “Christ did not empty Himself of anything, the text simply says that He emptied himself, He poured Himself out” (1995, p. 210, emp. added). The NIV seems to have captured this sense by stating that He “made himself nothing” (emp. added). The Greek word kenόō literally means “to empty; to make empty; or to make vain or void.” This word is rendered “made void” in Romans 4:14, where Paul stated that “faith is made void.” Faith did not empty itself of anything, rather faith emptied itself. Similarly, commenting on Jesus death as if it had already occurred, Isaiah wrote: “He [Jesus—EL] poured out his soul unto death” (Isaiah 53:12). What did Christ pour out? Himself.

But how does Philippians 2:7 say Christ emptied Himself? “Grammatically, Paul explains the ‘emptying’ of Jesus in the next phrase: ‘Taking the form of a servant and coming in the likeness of men’” (Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary). Unlike Adam and Eve, who made an attempt to seize equality with God (Genesis 3:5), Jesus, the last Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45), humbled Himself and obediently accepted the role of the bondservant. As N.T. Wright stated: “The real humiliation of the incarnation and the cross is that the one who was himself God, and who never during the whole process stopped being God, could embrace such a vocation” (1986, p. 346).

Although this text does not instruct us regarding of what Christ emptied Himself, we can be assured that there was no change in His divine nature. While Jesus was on Earth, He claimed equality with God the Father (John 10:28) and allowed others to call him “God” (John 20:30; Matthew 16:16). He also accepted worship, even though He plainly taught that only God is worthy of worship (Matthew 8:2; Matthew 4:10). If one contends that Jesus was not divine while upon the Earth, then they make Him either a fraud or a madman.

Philippians 2:7 does not teach that Christ emptied himself of His deity. Rather, to His divinity He added humanity (i.e., He was “made in the likeness of men”). For the first time, He was subject to such things as hunger, thirst, pain, disease, and temptation (cf. John 19:28; Hebrews 4:15). In short, He came to Earth as a God-man.
