He is the son of God but not God. He is part of God. He was human but he is not human. He died but is alive. His body can be eaten in church but that is not his body. He died for our sins so we can be free to commit sin. He will come back when this anti Jesus starts war and makes people write down 666 in there forehead. Well that makes sense..........

Not trying to be mean, but if Jesus is the son of God, he is also these things:

1. A child born out of wedlock (or by a parent other than Mary's husband). His father also teaches not to covet thy neighbors wife. I think Joseph would attest that God broke that rule.

2. A child born of the world's most heinous murderer as written in the bible (God caused great floods and numerous plagues). This comming from a God that says thou shalt not kill.

3. A child who's own father asked him to die a most horrendous death on a cross.

A few corrections:
Jesus is God and the Son of God (He is a supernatural dude)
He died to pay the penalty for our sins, not so that we can just go ahead and sin all we want.
He died and rose again the third day and is seated at the right hand of God in heaven.
When people share in "communion" the bread is a symbol of His body and the wine or juice is a symbol of His blood

Here is the bottom line on this:
Jesus Christ was prophesied about in the Old Testament over 300 times. The prophecies that have been fulfilled to date have been 100 % accurate. So it stands to reason that end time prophecy will be 100 % accurate as well.

In that case will you be ready when all this comes down?

The Bible is about Jesus (Luke 24:27,44; John 5:39; Heb. 10:7). The prophets prophesied about Him (Acts 10:43). The Father bore witness of Him (John 5:37, 8:18). The Holy Spirit bore witness of Him (John 15:26). The works Jesus did bore witness of Him (John 5:36; 10:25). The multitudes bore witness of Him (John 12:17). And, Jesus bore witness of Himself (John 14:6, 18:6).

Jesus is God in flesh (John 1:1,14). He is fully God and fully man (Col. 2:9) thus, He has two natures: God and man. He is not half God and half man. He is 100% God and 100% man. He never lost his divinity. He existed in the form of God and when He became a man, He added human nature1 to Himself (Phil. 2:5-11). Therefore, there is a "union in one person of a full human nature and a full divine nature."2 Right now in heaven there is a man, Jesus, who is Mediator between us and God the Father (1 Tim. 2:5). Jesus is our advocate with the Father (1 John 2:1). He is our Savior (Titus 2:13). He is our Lord (Rom. 10:9-10). He is not, as some cults teach, an angel who became a man (Jehovah's Witnesses) or the brother of the devil (Mormonism). He is wholly God and wholly man, the Creator, the Redeemer. He is Jesus.

What in the world?? Read the Gospels and get a clear picture. Your paraphrase is way off base.

He did not die for our sins so that we can commit sins. That's so wrong. Romans 6 - read it. Salvation is based on our love for Jesus and He says that to love Him is to obey Him. Our goal is to not commit more sins. We still do, but as we grow in Him, we do less and less sinning.

Don't spread the lie that Christians are free to sin all they want. That's just wrong.

Good summary.

I would point out to the whining Christians here that everything said can be traced to the bible (although the "free to commit sin" is a stretch - it's more "forgiven for the sins we commit after we accept him").

Gee, I guess I am not about to get a best answer for this one.

"So about this Jesus dude?
He is the son of God but not God. He is part of God. He was human but he is not human."

If you took a knife and cut your heart out of your chest, suicide right there, for a moment you would be two, your body and your heart. Of course your body would die, but, your spirit or soul wouldn't.

You can think of the Holy Trinity as being God (the entire being, kind of like you because you are like a photograph of God), the Son Jesus (the Heart of God, broken for the sins of humanity) and the Holy Spirit (The mind of God, given so that you might understand).

You are made up of different pieces, unlike God you can't form your heart into a human being to walk around. God can make his heart look like a person, be born similar to a person, walk and talk similar to a person, but, it will never be anything except the heart of God broken for our sins.

You are not you without your heart, and your heart is not your heart if you don't exist. Without both, you don't exist. Christ being the heart of God, pumping the blood of God, spilled when the heart was broken, is about as close to a good human metaphor as you can get without the Holy Spirit.

God's heart was not broken so we could sin, God's heart was broken so we would know that we could be forgiven for our sins. Imagine someone told you "I really hate what you do sometimes, but, I really love you and I want you to know that." Like a precocious child we said, "Oh yeah well prove it by dying because we are tired of hearing your stupid rules!"

So God "died".

Since no one ever really dies because their soul lives forever God just had his heart lay around for a couple of days so everyone would know he was really dead and then he got up and walked home, through the sky and clouds into heaven.

Since God is everywhere at all times God just put his heart back in his "chest" and stayed right where he is, with us at all times, but, if he hadn't walked through the clouds people might not be talking about him today since people kind of like grand entrances and grand exits. Born of a virgin, ascended into heaven, etc.

If we accept Christ we give ourselves up to him, God puts the Holy Spirit in our hearts so we understand scripture.

Jesus compared people to sheep. Imagine translating "God Speak" into "Man Speak", it is about as easy as translating "Man Speak" into "Sheep Speak". You can't do that, but, God is smarter than you are so he can. You and I are made in the image of God and compared to God we are just about as smart as a photograph, unless you have the Holy Spirit and then you know a very small amount of what God knows.

Now I could go on, but, I actually have a life and as much as you currently love Christ you probably never read this far down. I suggest you study the scripture and pray sincerely that Christ help you understand his word in a way that you can understand. Chinese maybe, or Swahili since your command of the English language is slightly less than fluent.

Oh, and "I know it's only Jesus Christ but I love him, love him, yes I do, I know......" Old Rolling Stones song (modified) where Mick talks about how hard the crowd is to please, "Suicide right on the stage...". Mick got it even if he didn't know he got it.

He'll never make sense to you if you keep mixing all the different denomination's beliefs on Him like that.

You forget to mention that he was killed with a cross, even though they were not used in that fashion until centuries later:-) Pray to the holy human kabob!!!
