Couldn't the Christian God technically be considred a 'deadbeat dad'?

Question

He didn't really do much as a father until Jesus was an adult.

Answer 1

yes, its like the turtles that lay the eggs and leave them to fend for themselves.

Answer 2

God is a trinity of persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the same person as the Son; the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit is not the same person as Father. They are not three gods and not three beings. They are three distinct persons; yet, they are all the one God. Each has a will, can speak, can love, etc., and these are demonstrations of personhood. They are in absolute perfect harmony consisting of one substance. They are coeternal, coequal, and copowerful. If any one of the three were removed, there would be no God. (See also, "Another Look at the Trinity")
Jesus, the Son, is one person with two natures: Divine and Human. This is called the Hypostatic Union. The Holy Spirit is also divine in nature and is self aware, the third person of the Trinity.
There is, though, an apparent separation of some functions among the members of the Godhead. For example, the Father chooses who will be saved (Eph. 1:4); the Son redeems them (Eph. 1:7); and the Holy Spirit seals them, (Eph. 1:13).
A further point of clarification is that God is not one person, the Father, with Jesus as a creation and the Holy Spirit is a force (Jehovah's Witnesses). Neither is He one person who took three consecutive forms, i.e., the Father, became the Son, who became the Holy Spirit. Nor is God the divine nature of the Son (where Jesus had a human nature perceived as the Son and a divine nature perceived as the Father (Oneness theology). Nor is the Trinity an office held by three separate Gods (Mormonism).
The word "person" is used to describe the three members of the Godhead because the word "person" is appropriate. A person is self aware, can speak, love, hate, say "you," "yours," "me," "mine," etc. Each of the three persons in the Trinity demonstrate these qualities.
The chart below should help you to see how the doctrine of the Trinity is systematically derived from Scripture. The list is not exhaustive, only illustrative.
The first step is to establish the biblical doctrine that there is only one God. Then, you find that each of the persons is called God, each creates, each was involved in Jesus' resurrection, each indwells, etc. Therefore, God is one, but the one God is in three simultaneous persons. Please note that the idea of a composite unity is not a foreign concept to the Bible; after all, man and wife are said to be one flesh. The idea of a composite unity of persons is spoken of by God in Genesis (Gen. 2:24).

Answer 3

Read the Bible!! Don't speak foolishness, especially of things that you don't know about. But one little point for you to think on, God became Jesus. Jesus is God in Human form.
I wonder if you have the same questions in your mind about all the Men and Women that have died across the years for your Freedom to ask stupid questions?? Maybe you should be more thankful of all that God has given you, as well as all those people that died for YOUR rights.

Answer 4

Pretty hard for me to consider when Jesus was God in the flesh. Since God gave you free will and you exercise this by posing this question do you realize the content you wrote is cursing God? I'm just curious.

Two biggest examples God gave us: Jesus and Satan John:14:6

Answer 5

No. I think we all could technically be considered spoiled brats who won't listen to our Father and just expect everything to be handed to us. We are the immature children who don't show respect, throw fits when things don't go our way and say "I hate you." Then some of us grow up and realize that our Father was right all along.

May God Bless you. Happy New Year.

Answer 6

Have you never heard of the Old testiment? Have you ever read the Bible at all? I'm not trying to be cute here, but your question would take all day and a thousand pages to answer - God has been involved with his Children for billions of years, even way before He placed Adam and Eve here in this earth age.

Answer 7

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto knowledge. Mullah_Ro
Prov 22-6 .Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he his old, he will not depart from it. God the father son and holy
ghost, is God. For God so loved the word that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe in him should no perish but have everlasting life.Jesus say I am the way the truth and the life
no man cometh unto the father, but by me. Jesus say I came down from HEAVEN, not to do mine own will, but the will of him
that sent me. Mullah_RO I receive not honour from men. but I
know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Fathers name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come
in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
Mullah_ Ro . you dont have God in your heart and this is clear
your father and their fathers did not obey the will of God the Father son and holy ghost.So you Religous Fool I speak to
your shame are not any wise man among you.

. the words I speak is life.no weapon that is formed
against us shall prosper; God the father son and holy ghost
is word is in the begining so it shall be in the end. take it are
leave it, the creature was subject to vanity not willingly , I
speak to your shame where is you earthly Dead beat Dad
that follow his fleshly desire and leave you hunger for the truth
that you can only recieved if you would pick up you cross and
follow Jesus Christ. Where is Your Dad ? You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did,so do you . God is Father, not
Dad. Give not that which is holy unto the Dogs, neither cast ye
your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their
feet, and turn again and rend you.

Answer 8

Apparently you never read the Bible and understood even at Christ's birth God was protecting and guiding Him and his family. I suppose you know all about Jesus during his pre-adult years since nobody else knows.

Answer 9

Since Jesus and God are one, it's pretty hard for someone who is "one" with their son, to be a deadbeat.

Answer 10

Nazi Popes "Big daddy jesus" cannot be a deadbeat dad.
He could not do anything till he was adult because he was confused about his birth. He was trying to solve that mystery first.

Answer 11

Matthew 7:11
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
