In the Christian Holy Bible Jesus is the Son of God, so Jesus is in one with God and the same as God. Jesus says that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus says that the only way to be saved from being damned in hell is through him and you MUST believe that he is the Son of God or else no heaven. So basically you have to call Jesus a savior and worship him to get into heaven.
Exodus 20:3 - "You shall have no other gods before me."
Deuteronomy 13:1-5 - "If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, 'Let us follow other gods' (gods you have no known) 'and let us worship them' you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul." (continues in the next description, out of room)

...It is the Lord your God you must follow, and Him you must revere. Keep His commands and obey him; serve Him and hold fast to Him. That prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he preached rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slaver; he has tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you." ( end of Deuteronomy 13:1-5)
Jesus did fortell and did many miraculous signs and wonders and he said that you must follow him in order to get into heaven. The Jews did put him to death as God says so in these scriptures of Deuteronomy. Was Jesus a true prophet or a false one?

I'm not trying to make Christians look bad...I'm just asking. This is why I left Christianity. I do not believe that Jesus was the same as God. I'm not sure if he was a false prophet or a true prophet. I am trying to hard to find the truth.

I'm a lost soul who believes in God and only God but I have no foundation, no religion to call my own. I'm hurting inside and out. I'm in a spiritual battle with my faith.

Carol, you will not find the truth in this place. Take a long walk outside. Read. Talk to people of different world beliefs in real time. The truth is not to be found here on Yahoo Answers. GBY

I know for an absolute fact that The Body or Jesus The Christ, wlaking around some 2,000 yrs ago was both Fully God and Fully man.... That , that was fully man, died on The Cross giving His Blood as payment for the sin debt of all mankind.
There is only One God. God chose to interact with mankind in three forms. The Father, The Son, And The holy Spirit.
There is much more but I will not continue... I can not "prove any thing to any one. For the non-believer the proof they require is between God and them. For the believer no further proof is needed. The believer knows The Truth.

false or true,is irrelevand in this matter.what matters is the legacy of higher values and morals,to have a red wire to live by.and if there is only one god ,how can you follow other gods.besides that jesus never said " follow me",but "be with me".when you're a careful reader, that is. so" following" has never been the right religious action.and the old testamtament is a rapport of a failure,what happend to a country when they were "following the wrong god "and lost their promised land.so the old testament should be condamned.it has nothing to do with jesus.jesus doesn't talk about a god but about the father,because we all have only one father.the only time that jesus talks about "gods" is when he says to his apostels" thy art equal to gods"(new testament,you'll find out where)

Jesus is the son of God, but God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is 3 in one essence. In the book of Isaiah, it talks about Jesus and His death, hundreds of years before it happened.

When did Jesus say NOT to follow God? He said that if you see me, then you see His father (God). Everything He did was for the glory of God, not for the glory of Himself. That is the difference between Jesus and the false prophets.

Jesus Christ (human body) was filled with God`s spirit...which makes Him a God...so that whatever He says and does are from God, and for us to see what a God look like (in human form.)
He-(God) became man-(in Jesus Christ person) for us-(human) to understand what God wants us to know and to believe. He preached God`s words in person and recorded in the Holy Book (bible) for centuries to know and remember it as guiding light towards back to God-The Father, as the world darkens with evilness. He teaches us (human) on the most effective prayer (Our Father), the Almighty Creator wants to hear.
Jesus Christ always says...Father had sent me (to speak to you).
Did He (Jesus) ever said: I own heaven & earth, you all should worship me.
He (Jesus) says: I am the truth, the way and the life. It means He is the true God`s messiah who tells us everything God wants to tell us, He guides everybody back towards The Father, and thru His death & resurrection...gives us idea that we all possess God`s spirit`s holiness and should maintain it (by turning away from sins) because it is the most important thing in our life...to be able to exist with God in eternity.
The true Gods are humble...not...what you claim: you must believe me as son of god or else no heaven for you. (kind of threat?...of course not swettie!

When it comes to the subject of religion, be it Jesus as the son of God or another topic, there is no true or false........only faith. If you believe then its true, if you don't believe then its false......or you have doubts. Look inside for the answer, it resides there.

Yes, Jesus is the saviour, but he is not God.. he is God's son, just remember God, the Son, the Holy Spirit.. jesus is not God.. a man cannot be God. God is God, Jesus is the saviour and messenger basically.

Jesus never said Christians are the way or follow the Christians. So you do not have to be a christian to believe in Jesus, you do not have to live like them or be like them, to believe in Christ.
Hes not asking you to get on your knees and beg like a dog. He's just reminding you not to love like the ones oppressing you and to believe he will return for you when its your time, society is not Jesus.

There is only one God. Christ was God with us.
Believe in Him goes a lot deeper. It doesn't mean believe that he existed in the flesh. It means believes in Him in totality.
Believe He is God, Saviour, creator of all things, and His Word.
So in general false.
