Do you believe Jesus was a man, like I do?

Question

All beit a very good man who spread the word of God greatly. God is great, I really believe in God... someone had to create out beautiful lives and everything in it.

The Bible did not arrive by fax from heaven…The Bible is the product of man. Not of God. The Bible did not fall magically from the clouds. Man created it as a historical record of tumultuous times, and it has evolved through countless translations, additions, and revisions. History has never had a definitive version of the book.

At the gathering of the Council of Niceau in 324 AD, many aspects of Christianity were debated and voted upon - the date of Easter, the role of the bishops, the administration of sacraments, and, of course, the divinity of Jesus . . . until that moment in history, Jesus was viewed by His followers as a mortal prophet . . . a great and powerful man, but a man nonetheless. A mortal.

You keep quoting scripture... how does that prove that Jesus was God? It doesn't. The bible was put together by Constantine four centuries after Jesus died. They got rid of gospels that depicted Jesus as a man. Even the gospel of Mary Magdalene... Jesus’ wife. Did you know that it was a sin for a Jewish man not to be married or to father a child? Then the King of Jews surly would have not been a bachelor... and he wasn't.

When you're trying to prove to me who is God and who is man, don't offer me Bible quotes... offer me cold, hard fact. I believe in God 100%, but Jesus as God? I think not.

Answer 1

There is no archeological evidence to support the existence of the man you refer to as Jesus Christ. The link below provides a basic explanation concerning the lack of evidence, as well as why the written accounts should be scrutinized and doubted.

You are incorrect in stating that the bible is a "historical record". For the most part, the events in the bible are fallacy and myth, at worst, and epic story telling at best. Example: there is evidence of the "great flood" being a localized event, and Noah, actually being a king who transported goods on a barge during it. There is no evidence of Hebrew slaves in Egypt, nor of their crossing the desert, outside of the mythology. Furthermore, there are at least 12 other "messianic" figures, told of in myth contemporary to the time of "Jesus", and all of the tales are similar: raising the dead, born of woman with a god for a father, miraculous deeds, etc.

Answer 2

Jesus was a man- he did not claim to be God, he called himself "God's Son". As to the comment on him being the King of the Jews, this is only what Pontius Pilate called him. Unfortunately, you are asking for proof of something that really is found only in the scriptures, which although penned by men, has the Authorship of God as can be seen for example in the fact that the advice He gives on how to live actually makes people happy.

Answer 3

Jesus is the Son of God.

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

2Tim 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Answer 4

Jesus was both man and God. To deny either is antichrist. The Bible was inspired by God and written down by man. Man did not write the Bible, it was given to man to inscribe what was given by God. Jesus was viewed as Christ, the Son of God. You will see when He returns, just how mortal He is.

Answer 5

YES! Jesus (peace be upon him) was a man, a complete human being like you, me, and the rest of the humans. Except, he was one of the many Prophets whom God sent to us humans for guidance. But people tried to kill Jesus, so God raised him forth to Himself. He'll be coming to the Earth near the end of the world and will live a normal life and then die like a normal human being (while GOD continues existing!). Perhaps then, those who think he's God will know the truth?... Hmm..
That's what my religion teaches me, and no one is obligated to agree with me! Why would God come to this world to save us humans? That limits His limitless Power!! Especially over us humans!
Besides, Jesus (peace be upon him) worshipped God. If he was God, why/how would GOD worship GOD?... Look, no offense to anyone... I just don't understand it. :D
Anyway, yes, I believe he was a man. God is God, and nothing can change that. I wonder what Jesus (peace be upon him) feels when humans call to him as they do to a God, or when they just go around calling him God.... Aww....
Peace and blessings be upon all!

Answer 6

Yes, and that's the faith we uphold. That is the very first step to salvation. The belief that Jesus is a man sent by the Holy Father, to redeem the sins of those who are in his flock. That's what the bible says.

Answer 7

The rolls found in several places the last few years confirm the accuracy of the King James version much more than disagree with it. It is not completely accurate, but is close enough to know the laws and requirements.

Answer 8

Well I believe Jesus was real. I believe he was a nice guy. But I don't believe in God.

As for the Bible it is written by man! And man is not perfect, by the Christian definition!

And yes, the gospels that make Jesus seem less divine were removed. I wonder why that is? OH maybe it's because they were using religion as a tool to control the masses.

Answer 9

You are missing half of the statement from the Council of Nicea. That Council also proclaimed that Jesus was a man, in every way like you or me, except for sin.

Answer 10

Jesus came to me personally and caused a miracle.His Holy angels have saved me from death 4 times, nothing I read.Life experience.
