I am a bit confused about Jesus........?

Question

if Jesus is God wasnt he born and lived in Nazareth. Then who created the universe and everything else ? Ok if he was a spirit before then came in flesh and blood to earth then who took care of the affairs of the world like making sure the universe was running smoothly while he was on earth? and if he was God for that matter why did he shout "Elah Elah lama sabatchthani?" when he was crucified which meant My lord , my lord why have u forsaken me? then was their already a God above?

Thank you for ur answers guys but U ALL HAVE CONFUSED ME EVEN MORE BY GIVING ME DIFFERENT interpretations

Answer 1

I am sorry you are so confused. I guess what you need to do is concentrate on what the bible is saying. Nowhere will you find the word Trinity. Jesus does say that he and his Father are one, but Jesus tells his followers to be as one. A husband and wife to be as one. But does this mean that all these people are one person? No. It means that they are in UNION as one. Jesus was not God. Jesus never claimed to be God. Jesus' followers called him God's Son.

In the garden of Eden, when the serpent tempted Adam and Eve and they disobeyed, there was alot at stake. Satan had questioned God's authority. Satan has told God that no one would want to worship him (book of Job.) Job was a man with freewill just as Jesus was a man with freewill. God HAD to send someone down here that had freewill, to prove Satan wrong. If God had of did this himself what would he have proved? We know God is perfect and he would not have failed any test, but Jesus being God's son could have very well took Satan up on all of his offers when he was tempted. But Jesus loved his Father and he loved us.

Another thing, Jesus prayed. Who was he praying to? Jesus asked in the garden of Gethsemane for his cup to be removed if it at all possible, but not his will but his Father's will be done. There is just too many verses that lead to believe that Jesus was the Son of God, not God himself. In John 1:1 The word was God. Maybe that's just a mistranslation of the bible. We know that the early writers didn't use vowels back then. So maybe it should read, A god. Because there are many, many gods in the bible but only ONE true GOD. Jesus would be considered a god, but he is not The GOD.

And oh yeah, you may want to take a look at Leanne M question's and answer's before you take anything she says to heart. She kinda contridicts herself.

Answer 2

God never be limited even he was dwelling in mankind he able to rule the cosmos.

When Jesus said "Eli, Eli lama sabachthani" he was remembering jewish with psalm 22 which is begin with this phrase & this one is full of prophesyings about Jesus crucifying........
also as a human being he felt the full pain without supporting from the Godhead nature;
"Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, .."Isa 53:10
& it's figure the way that the sinner feel when God hid his face;
"thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled." Psa 30:7

Answer 3

Do not listen to aroundwor. Jesus being the living Son of God came to die for the sins of the world which are many(understatement)God the Father was taking care of the universe when his beloved Son came to earth. Jesus felt like his Father left him because Jesus had been up in Heaven all along with his Father, and was so close th His Father that Jesus though his Father left him. The Father did not leave him, although it felt like that to Jesus at the time. I sometimes feel God is distant, but he is always there looking over me and looking after me even though I do not deserve it. Jesus spoke the world into existence as his Father gave him the power and authority to do that. God loves his son that much God shares everything with him, and the relationship he has with his Father is awsome. Jesus said me and the Father are one. Jesus sits at the right hand of the Almighty God and interceeds for us, as Gods listens to his Son, and always have and always will. Jesus is gergous. Jesus is so precious there is none as precious as Jesus. I hope to see you in Heaven one day, and the way this world is going it will probally be soon. God bless Leanne

Answer 4

God is everywhere & when God dwell in his Son, He did not empty space, But in Jesus Christ God has invested all of what God is into Jesus Christ, & after the millennium Jesus will turn all power back over to the Father. Just because in Jesus dwell the fullness, does not mean God empty all space. The Flesh of Jesus was the part that died, & not God. In another way to show you that God did not empty space is when Jesus said father why have thou forsaken me, If Jesus was God, He would have known that God did not forsaken him, Why would God be talking to God. But it was the Son talking to God.

Answer 5

I believe Jesus, the Christ was the unique Son of God.
There is nobody quite like him in all of creation.
I also believe...
Jesus was a man.
He was totally human.
He was infused with God nature by accepting The Creator/Father~Mother's will for him.
We all have the potential to accept a Christ-nature, but we do not have the faith, imagination or clarity of insight to trust God fully and entirely to do God's will encased in this human flesh and surrounded by temptations
and delusions.
When you are hanging on a cross smothering, humiliated,naked,exposed to jeers and crowds,
bleeding, in horrid physical pain, you yell out into the heavens!
You scream, for confirmation...it's lonely up there in anguish and you get confused-your brain is being deprived of oxygen and you need assurance.
Jesus was saying the equivalent of: ..."I'm doing the right thing?...right dad?
say everything is going to be okay!...I can't see very well any more...I'm so messed up...just assure me, please.!"

Answer 6

Jesus is a part of God. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. In Genesis God says:

Genesis 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Let us - referring to the complete Trinity.

In Matthew:

16As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."

God the Son (Jesus) being baptized - God the Father speaking - God the Holy Spirit descending like a dove.

God was in heaven 'taking care of the whole universe'.

As for 'My God, My God why hast thou forsaken me?' - at that particular moment in time, Jesus was laden with the entirety of sin from all mankind - God the Father removed His presence and Jesus bore the burden alone - He was distraught - He not only had to bear that horrible weight of sin, but for the first and only time He was separated from God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.

Answer 7

The Islamic view of Jesus lies between two extremes. The Jews, who rejected Jesus as a Prophet of God, called him an impostor. The Christians on the other hand, consider him to be the son of God and worship him as such. Islam considers Jesus as one of the great Prophets of God and respects him as much as Abraham, Moses and Muhammad. This is in conformity with the Islamic point of view of the oneness of God, the oneness of Divine guidance, and the complimentary role of the subsequent messages of God’s messengers. The essence of Islam, which is the willing submission to the will of God, was revealed to Adam who passed it on to his children. All following revelations to Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and finally Muhammad were in conformity with that message in addition to some elaboration to define the relation between Man and God, man and man, man and his environment, and to live according to God’s instructions. Thus, any contradiction among revealed religions is viewed by Islam as a man-made element introduced into these religions. The position of Jesus in the three major religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, should not be an exception.
Although the Qur’an does not present a detailed life-account of Jesus, it highlights the important aspects of his birth, his mission, his ascension to heaven and passes judgements on the Christian beliefs concerning him.

Answer 8

Jesus was God but at the same time God was still in heaven. God cannot be, never was. confined to any particlar place.
Read John 1:1-14 and Colossians chapters 1 and 2. I can e-mail you more on this if you wish.

Answer 9

Jesus Christ is not God. he is the son of the Most Holy Father Jehovah. no one has seen Jehovah but they seen Jesus Christ. Jehovah cannot die. when Jesus Christ prayed, he prayed to his Father in the Heaven. when Jesus was baptized, Jehovah came down like a dove and said this is my son the beloved. even the 12 said that he was the son of the Most Holy Father not God himself. yes he said you seen the Father, what he was saying is that he was with Jehovah from the beginning and he knows his Father real well, not that he was God. who raised Jesus from the dead, you cannot raise yourself?

Answer 10

There are three persons in one God, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit!
