Jesus is God and then son of God?

Question

are you out of ur mind?

Answer 1

I find it hilarious...especially since Jesus can be QUOTED in the Bible saying he is NOT God...the trinity makes no sense at all.

Answer 2

It's interesting to read some of the answers. I have spoken to countless Christians with sincere intentions for finding the answer but have not run into a single one that can give a reasonable explanation for this duality. At the end of our conversation, they end up saying..."well you just have to believe." ASk yourself, if God, the Almighty, the all- knower wanted his believers to understand him even with their limited brain power, why would such a fundamental concept be so confusing that the average person would not be able to explain it? Someone gave the analoge of an apple with the core, the pulp and the peel. Those individual parts are not the apple but an apple only exists with those parts coming together so that argument is kind of not all there.

The other issue is, is that God is above his creation and that when you start attributing charateristics of an imperfect creation to a perfect being, you essentially decrease God's majesty. If Jesus was God or the son of God, then you are saying that God eats, sleeps, goes to the bathroom, and procreates like the rest of us. God is above that so if it doesn't make sense for God to eat, then what sense does it make for him to have a son?

Answer 3

This is a very common question and the answer is found in understanding the Trinity and the incarnation of Jesus. The Trinity is the doctrine that there is only one God in all existence. This one God exists as three persons: The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are not three gods, but one God. Each is a separate person, yet each of them is, in essence, divine in nature.

The Trinity can be a difficult concept to understand. Some think it is a logical contradiction. Others call it a mystery. Does the Bible teach it? Yes it does, but that doesn't automatically make it easier to comprehend.

The Trinity is defined as one God who exists in three eternal, simultaneous, and distinct persons known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Such a definition may suffice for some, but for others this explanation is insufficient.

Therefore, to help understand the Trinity better, I offer the following analogy that, I think, is hinted at in Rom. 1:20: "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made."

Notice that this verse says God's attributes, power, and nature, can be clearly seen in creation. What does that mean? Should we be able to learn about God's attributes, power, and nature by looking at what He has made? Apparently, according to the Bible, this is possible.

When a painter paints a picture, what is in him is reflected in the painting he produces. When a sculptor creates a work of art, it is from his heart and mind that the source of the sculpture is born. The work is shaped by his creative ability. The creators of art leave their marks, something that is their own, something that reflects what they are. Is this the same with God? Has God left His fingerprints on creation? Of course He has.

I hope this helps..have a blessed day

Answer 4

EXACTLY!! Jesus was NOT a God Nor was he the Son of God. Jesus was merely a prophet sent from God. God created him and allowed him life without Mary having a man, just as he created Adam and Eve.

Answer 5

Jesus is God the Son of God the Father
Yes, I'm out of my mind and into His.

Answer 6

The duality of Christ's nature, human and divine, cannot be fully and definitively answered. If we could, we would possess divine minds ourselves. That said, we theologians have made progress at trying to understand the concepts of the Trinity of God and God the Son's role in that Trinitarian doctrine.

In short, Jesus’ human nature could be tempted. He thirsted, hungered, and at times was full of righteous anger. Yet He never sinned. If He did, we are all lost and God is not God. Christ also was God with all of God's attributes, and these two natures existed in a hypostatic (fundamental state) union.

I doubt I can improve upon the discussion of Christ's dual nature that is found at http://www.carm.org/doctrine/2natures.htm

I suggest you start there to dig deeper into this topic. It is not going to be answered to your satisfaction in this Forum.

Answer 7

when we say that , we degrade the nature of God to a human one.

coz if he has a son, he needed a woman to conceive it right??

and if so, how the son at the same time be God?

Ok all those contradictions are dragging people to islam becoz islam stands for the oneness of God, He is the creator of the universe...how can anybody insist that He is like us.??..we are nothing just like a small grain of sand in the whole universe...

but so arrogant and antroprocentric, we still believe the universe spin around us...: (

Answer 8

God gave us many examples in nature to explain how three could be one - but those who choose to be dense just will be. No amount of explaining will help because you do not want to understand. Some examples from nature (again) --- the egg - one egg but made up of 3 separate parts, shell, white, yolk (three in one). Water - one essence but three forms, ice, liquid, vapor. The box example given by the person above me was a good example and there are alot more. It is not that difficult. Jesus is God (Essence), His position or office work is that of Son.......Father (yoke), Holy Spirit (white of egg) and Son (shell), yet it is but one God (one "egg") - why is that so hard to comprehend? If you want to understand you can if you choose not to understand then you won't.

Answer 9

varies by what religion you are. some believe he is son of god, others believe hes the son of god in the holy trinity.

Answer 10

No two Christians can agree on this, which is fairly laughable considering it's a basic tenet of their religion.

But then they have bigger problems when it comes to Jesus, like the prophesy of his virgin birth being due to a mistranslation from Hebrew:

Answer 11

Yep, that doesn't make sense to me that's why I quit believing in religionthe same time I stopped believing in Santa Claus.
