So most Christians say that jesus is God, is it possible that The almighty creator of all, the all powerful, the all capable, get born out of a woman's womb, gets breast-fed, needs his mother to clean him up when he does a doodoo, cries when he's hungry, sleeps when he's tired.....etc.
So God took a physical appearance and Manifested in a man's body to show thast he loves us? What happened to the God who drowned the whole earth when they rejected the prophet?
Isn't it easier just to forgive sins without all of the Bloodshed? or is God not capable of that? are sins too much for God?
and please don't quote irrelevant Bible verses, it just makes you look foolish.
Example of a relevant verse:
Mar 10:17 As Jesus was walking down a road, a man ran up to him. He knelt down, and asked, "Good teacher, what can I do to have eternal life?"
Mar 10:18 Jesus replied, "Why do you call me good? Only God is good.

Avatars, gods taking human form, are nothing new in the world of religion. But it's much more likely that Jesus was a normal (though spiritually enlightened) human being, and was later assigned divine properties to elevate him to a mythical status.

There are several questions here which can be better understood in terms of making a covenant. Hebrews 9 explains this in more detail.
Sin is the separation from God and other people by an act of our will. It is the result of things we have done that has offended them, breaking or hurting our relationship with them. If you look at the law, the commandments, they can be viewed in this way, summarized by saying we should love God and other people.
To make amends with someone we have offended, if we truly love and care about them, we would express our sorrow for what we have done, ask that they forgive us, and perhaps make amends or at lest repent to the point of trying to assure them that we will try not to do it again. Trust has been broken, and time is sometimes required to heal the wounds. You could say that the result of sin is death, either temporarily if the person we offend forgives us, or eternally if they do not. This is true of our relationship with God, and with our fellow man.
God provided a way for us to be forgiven, to end our separation from Him. That way is exclusively through the belief that Jesus is who He said that He was, and that He did what He said He would do. It requires the acknowledgment that we have sinned against God and others, that we be repentant, and ask for His forgiveness. This sorrow is an act of our love toward Him. It is an act of His love and mercy to forgive us.
Doing this, we begin a new life, enjoying a relationship with Him. We find that there is a living God, who not only wants to do this for us, but loves us so much as to adopt us as children under this new covenant He has made through Jesus Christ. There is so much more to this life than we can imagine when we realize this and accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
Hope this helps clear things up for you. I would be glad to help with any questions you may have. God bless.

Good Question. According to the Bible, there are two Adams. The first Adam came but he sinned. The second Adam is Jesus. The first Adam failed but the second Adam succeeded. God came down as a little child so he will know what it was like to be a human. He was tempted like us, he had an opportunity to sin but he did not choose to do so. I believe original sin the doctrine is wrong. Humans are born at birth as sinless but as time goes on Humans sin because that is what humans do. "All have sinned" That is what Paul tells us. God is just. Because of Jesus taking all the sin upon him, that is why God calls us righteous if we accept Christ's forgiveness. I am not sure what you are looking for???

No Bible verses, just this conclusion. See how it floats your boat.
Father God created man in His own image. Father God is a spirit but He gave man a form with dirt. Man could still keep his immortality by being obedient to Father God. Man was deceived and disobeyed Father God and so death came into the world and man's immortal body was changed because of the molecular structure of the fruit eaten in disobedience. Father God created man so that He could fully love man, could look man in the face, could talk to man daily.Father God wanted to give man only good things. In order for man to return that love fully man needed free will, otherwise man would have only been like any other created animal. Father God wanted the appreciation He deserved from man but that would have been impossible without free will. Man was not created by Father God to die. That was mans choice. Scary, isn't it. We are responsible for our own situation. Duh!

I don't think it's fair for you to quote the Bible and then tell us that we're not allowed to because it will make us look stupid. When God flooded the earth, that was in the Old Testament; a completely different time with different circumstances and different rules. God IS a loving God, because He was willing to suffer an agonizing death so that we can be with Him. And He will destroy the earth again, according to the Bible in Revelations. He's giving us a chance, and once that chance is up He will separate the weeds from the wheat, the good fruit from the bad fruit. If He is giving us a chance to follow Him, I'd say that's pretty generous considering that He could zap us all into oblivion right now if He chose to!

Well I'm going to upset many believers but I question the authenticity of the bible as being the 'word of God'. I believe God's true message is love and that many of the stories that contradict it are just that- stories.

Spiritually speaking, i ought to watch for extremely a lengthy time period and browse something uplifting at the same time as I did it. Musically speaking, I in hardship-free words watch for 4 minutes before I dangle up on Musak, jazz, mild rock, or something piano. some pop stuff receives me to attend longer. yet when the voice says "your call is major to us" then I commence urgent 0 in hopes that it will overload their pcs.
