Trinity Vs 1st commandment?

Question

do you think God has put this 1st commandment for a joke?
"you shall not take other gods before Me"

Matthew 19:17
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

do you think Jesus was joking when he seperates himself from God in the above verse?

if u r going to urge after showing you this, then ur disbelieving is unbelievable and too much stubborn.

Answer 1

The Lord Jesus Christ had to leave heavens glory so He come to earth as a man so He could die for our sins. He was buried and took our sins away and He rose again the third day for our justification. 1 Corinthians 15: 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15: 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Chedk out who raised Him from the dead. (I) The Spirit raised Him Romans 8: 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (2) The Father raised Him Romans 6: 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (3) He raised himself. John 2: 19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. When the Lord Jesus Christ was baptized He was on the earth, The Father was in heaven and the Holy Spirited decended on Him. Matthew 3: 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

Answer 2

First, When you talk about the ten commandments you are talking about a time before the new covenant. Jesus wasn't even here yet.

Second, Not until Jesus was baptized did the Holy Spirit descend.

Thirdly to explain the Trinity, I will use an analogy for you: God is like time:

Time: Past, Present, and future
God: The father, the son and the Holy Spirit

Here is the problem you are having, you are, like most, pulling text out of context. It is hard to disprove something when you are pulling one verse out of an entire book. You can not do this with any other book but people do it to the good book all the time thinking they are making a point.

Point taken, point refuted.

God Bless

Answer 3

And what do you do with the 50 verses that say Jesus is God? Ignore them? Push them under a rug?

Jesus didnt deny "being good" in Matthew 19 anymore than he literally meant that Peter was Satan. Jesus spoke figuratively many times and was not being literal. How else do you explain his defense in other areas of Scripture "being without sin?" How can Jesus be "not good" and be "without sin?" It stands to reason that if Jesus was telling us that he was just a sinner like the rest, why would he claim he was without sin? A slight contradiction in your denial of Jesus as LORD!

No...Jesus in that verse is merely rebuffing the person trying to get to the real answer on why he felt Jesus was "good." Was it merely that he was doing physicaly miracles? Or did he recognize his kingship?

Also, do you realize that he was worshipped many times by the disciples and even people he healed? If Jesus were not God himself, WHY DID HE ACCEPT WORSHIP FROM MEN? Did it ever occur to you that his words were correct when he said "The Father and I are one" and "If youve seen me, youve seen the Father" "I am the way, truth, and the life." "Before Abraham was born, I AM!" Any of those ring a bell? If the person speaking those words were not God himself, then that would be pure blasphemy.

If you dont want to spend an eternity being separated from God I suggest you put your nose in the Bible and read it more carefully because youre missing the point of who Jesus was. We are not called to completely understand the trinity, but just believe it. Jesus is literally the son of the Father and shares his essence with him. Together, they are GOD.

Answer 4

Look up Psalm 45, and Psalm 110. Both indicate THE GOD speaking to
"HIS OTHER".....also......The Trinity is indicated in 1 John 5:7 if you are using
a King James Bible (others have removed or altered same).

In the Old Testament see Isaiah 44:6 --- and His redeemer I am ---.
and Isaiah 45:11 --- And His maker --.

My favourite indicator is 1 Corinthians 15:28 ! At some point The Trinity will once
again unite because THEN there will be no need for The Trinity !

Water appears as a liquid, steam, and ice. All three are one.
A Clover leaf has three segments, it is but ONE clover.

In both situations above, three are one. Why can't THE GOD do the same?

Answer 5

In Matthew 19:17, Jesus is looking the guy if he's acquainted with what he's saying. he's not saying "i'm no longer God," he's saying, "confident, i'm stable, yet do you recognize that for the duration of basic terms God is stable?" have in mind John 20:28-29; Thomas calls Jesus "My Lord and My God," and is not any longer rebuked. The Trinity is definitely an extremely confusing theory. there is, in reality, in basic terms one God, yet He supplies Himself to us in 3 procedures: the father Almighty who created all issues, the Son Jesus Christ who entered into human historic previous and is the choose of the residing and the lifeless, and the Holy Spirit who has spoken for the duration of the prophets and maintains to inspire and communicate to human beings right this moment. I advise seeing your interior reach clergyman for a greater in intensity verbal substitute. words, while written, are killed; they lie lifeless on the website, and you are able to no longer refute or inquire further. The spoken be conscious is the residing be conscious, so a face-to-face assembly with a pastor would answer this one ultimate. you would be shocked how keen maximum clergymen and ministers are to answer a number of of those questions.

Answer 6

Jesus likes to ask what people think of Him. See also Matthew 16.

Answer 7

They did not believe he was God, so he told them they should not say that he was good either, since only God is good. Jesus didnt deny that he was God, he just told them that with their reasoning that is what they should think.

Answer 8

1. "Do you think God has put this 1st commandment for a joke"...no...2. "Do you think Jesus was joking when he separates himself from God"...no

Answer 9

No the ten commandments aint a joke. they are laws we have to obey during our lifes.

Answer 10

Being that Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit, the 1st commandment is not being broken.
