God is a spirit, and as a spirit He knew he could not reach the masses to save them the way a human could. So, He robed Himself in flesh and came to Earth to be born of a human, impregnanted by the Holy Spirit. He lived a pure life and endured all of our sins on the cross, died, and rose again. God is triune, which means He is made up of three parts - Father (God) who is our creator, Son (Jesus) who is our redeemer, and the Holy Spirit who is our comforter. One God!

Jesus was God in the flesh. A portion of God came to earth in the flesh through the Virgin Birth which gave Him legal right to be here. The flesh made Him less than God, that's where son of God comes in. Jesus is also called the Son of Man among many other titles.
God is no respecter of persons, which means that He loves us all the same.
And when we experience Acts2:38 and speak in an unknown language, we also become children of God. The Holy Ghost is the earnest of our inheritance. Earnest means that He put 10% down payment and will be back for the rest later. It is His seal of approval!! Do not go by what anybody tells you!! Look it up in the Book for yourself. And if you have any questions, ask God and He will lead you to the Truth!! God Bless you and Good Luck.

He raised the dead and fulfilled hundreds of prophecys about the messiah from the fact of where he was born, how he was born.
He had no control over that? Multiplied food and calmed the storm. Many eye witnesses to that. The temple curtain was torn into at his death and many came back from the grave.
Illustrateing what will happen during the judgement day.
Jesus was the first of God's creations and was in heaven with him for billions of years before the earth was created.
by means of him the earth was created the bible says.
(Colossians 1:15-17) . . .5 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist,
(Revelation 3:14) 14 “And to the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ce´a write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God,
(Acts 7:55) 55Â But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand,
(Revelation 1:1) 1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John,
(Revelation 7:10) 10Â And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

Jesus was different. Philippians 2 contains an ancient hymn which spreads a little light on it...
Phil 2:5 In your relationships with one another, have the same attitude of mind Christ Jesus had: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a human being, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
John 1:1 In the beginning, the Word was already there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 All things were made through him. Nothing that has been made was made without him. 4 Life was in him, and that life was the light for all people. 5 The light shines in the darkness. But the darkness has not understood it... 14 The Word became a human being. He made his home with us. We have seen his glory. It is the glory of the one and only Son. He came from the Father. And he was full of grace and truth.

The reason he was killed was what he said was deamed a threat by the religious order of the time. Judism.
Those religious leaders saw what he said as a threat to the control they had over the masses.
He was also a threat to the roman government.
Was he a God? NO
That was made up by man long after he was dead.
His statement of I and the father are one is a very Buddhist statement. Buddhism teaches to be one with everything. Oneness doesn't mean sameness. Christians have a problem understanding that though!

The Bible says that God created all of mankind beginning with Adam. He made Adam in the Garden of Eden, and He made Eve from a rib taken from Adam's side. You know that, right? Well, the rest of mankind was born through this first family and it was through them, also that sin was passed down to all mankind, because they disobeyed God's direct command while still in that ideal setting of the Garden of Eden.
So, a few hundred years later, after God had promised Adam and Eve and the rest of His people through His prophets, He sent Jesus, born from a Woman, but she became pregnant with Christ by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit on her. You can read about this in Matthew, Mark and Luke in your Bible. Jesus was both the son of "man" (through Mary) and the Son of God (through the Holy Spirit). That makes Him different from the rest of us. He is the only One who came into being by the direct power of God making a virgin (a woman who had never been with a man) pregnant. So, He is special, different, set apart from all the rest of humanity. Get it? I hope so, but if not, write again.
God bless you as you search for truth. Jesus is truth.

God had only one son(John 3:16).Walked on earth as a human so as to know the temptations that temp us.The high priests got jelous of his teachings and had him prosecuted in the middle of the night like cowards that they were.So,then Jesus was beaten,spit on,whipped with 'razors' as I like to call them.And hung on a cross to bear all man's sins so us humans could have a chance at eternal life through him.So yes,he's special!He then rose up and told his followers to go on and continue the ministry in his name. Now we(the one's that follow Jesus)are considered God's adoped children cause we're human but still His children. A person could go on and on cause its so facinating. The Bible will explain ALL that and more.

We are all God's Children. But Jesus was his Son who was with him in Heaven from the beginning..Jesus had no Earthly Father.
Jesuse was Devine as God is devine..And He showed Himself to His followers after His ressurrection. Oh and by the way He Loves you an all as well.

first i would like to encourage you to go and speak to your youth group pastor or just one of the leaders. they will give you the best answer on this.
but i will take my best shot at explaining it.... now, you need to understand that Jesus is God. He is not the average human being. he was in human form which made him equal with man. but Jesus knew no sin, and for this he is special. He is clean and perfect. no man can be perfect, only God is perfect.
i hope this helped out in some way. but please go and ask this question to a group leader of yours to see what they have to say.
if you ever have any questions that your not sure you want to post here for everyone to see, you are more than welcome to ask me personally. i would be more than happy to help. and if there is a trouble in your life which you would like prayer for, please let me know so i may put you in my prayers.
God bless you friend.

Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Christ was God in the flesh.
