If Jesus is God, why does Jesus makes it very clear he isn't God?

Question

please, when Jesus said this, he definatly seperates himself from being God:
Mark 10:18
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

lord can be identified as someone with higher spiritual level not God.
1 Corinthians 8:6
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

why believe in some verses and deny the biggest verses that indicate that Jesus and God are Two different thing. why?? you aren't being honest with ur self. there is no way you can say "JESIS IS GOD and SON OF GOD" ?

Answer 1

Jesus isn't God, it wasn't even a consideration of the early church until about 1000 AD. Then the early church fathers had a big fight, and essentially killed off all the Christians who believed Jesus was a mortal man. It was wrong them, it is wrong now, and really what difference does it make? Descended from God, or actually God, a child of God or a part of God like we all are...

Answer 2

There are many times where Jesus said of Himself that He was God. He applied the name of God, "I AM," to Himself in several passages.

Here are a few examples: Matthew 14:27, Mark 6:50, Mark 13:6, Luke 21:8, John 4:26, John 6:20, John 8:24, 28, 58, and John 13:19.

There are several others I have not listed. Besides this, Jesus said that He & the Father were one (John 10:30). This describes a unity, even though there are two. (Note, the I AM passages I referred to are from the Greek, as the English translations often mistranslate I AM for "It is I" or "I am He," to allow for readability.)

There are various Scriptures that demonstrate that God's attributes are present in Jesus as well as the Holy Spirit. For example, the Father is eternal (Psalm 90:2), and so is the Son (John 1:2), and so is the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 9:14).

Another shared attribute is their holiness. Only God is truly holy. The Father is holy (Revelation 15:4), so is the Son (Acts 3:14), and so is the Spirit (Acts 1:8).

I am enclosing a link to an ancient diagram of the Trinity which can be helpful in getting your hands around the doctrine in the SOURCE list.

Answer 3

Jesus is not the Almighty God, Jehovah. Philippians 2:5-8 "Keep this mental attitude in you that was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. No, but he emptied himself and took a slave's form and came to be in the likeness of men. More than that, when he found himself in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient as far as death, yes, death on a torture stake." 1 Corinthians 11:3 "But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God." Jehovah, himself said that "Jesus is his Son, the beloved, whom I have approved" after Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. Matthew 3:13-17.

Answer 4

Your question refers to the Trinity, the most confusing and hard to explain doctrine in the whole Bible, I guess. One 'big wig theologian' in the years gone by, I've since forgotten his name, stated it sort of like this. Compare God to a shamrock. Each of the three leaves are shamrock [God]. One leaf is God the Father [shamrock] another leaf is Jesus the savior, [same shamrock] and the third leaf is the Holy Spirit or Comforter [same shamrock, or God], right? Any one leaf of the shamrock is not any more, or less shamrock than any other leaf, so any part of God is not more, or less than any of the other two. I do hope this is clear and coherent to you. That may be one of the first questions I'll ask God when I come face to face with Him, and He may laugh and answer, "Because God is the family name, and there are three of us in the family". How about that?

Answer 5

Your not honest with yourself. Its funny how some people spend all their time trying to dig through the bible to find verses that they used their own understanding for to disprove something they don't believe in. Can I have an Amen , sister. Anyway, God is one in three. The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is omnipotent, Jesus in the physical form and the Holy Spirit in the spirit form.

Answer 6

It was God who said Jesus was his son. So yes they are two different beings. But Jesus is a God like person. he could do things no body else could do. And the power he had could not be given of man, but of God or a higher being.

Answer 7

Jesus is the son of God and one in the same. The doctrine of the Trinity states the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit are one in the same so therefore they are all seperate yet all the same.

Answer 8

ever heard of a rhetorical questions? it's a question that causes you to think, but not answer back to the asker. that verse simply infers that the man obviously considered jesus good, as he called Him good.

also, check the Scriptures. with the exception of the word Him (as that is a sign of respect for God the Father) titles and things related to Jesus are uppercased, such as Lord, Master or Son, just as with God the Father or the Holy Spirit.

"In the beginning, there was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God" it goes on to say that in the Word was Life, and in that Life there was Light, and John was sent to bear witness of that Light. John bore witness of Jesus. "and the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us".

"search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me...for had ye believd Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me" -- Jesus, in John 5:30-47

"if any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God" -- Jesus, in John 7:17

try John 8:12-20

"I preceded forth and came from God" -- John 8:42



Exodus 3: 18 -- "and God said unto Moses, I am THAT I am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you".

John 8:58 --"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am" he didn't say "I was", he said "I am", as God stated he changeth not

and yes, I can honestly say "Jesus is God" and "Jesus is the Son of God". why can't you accept that?

Answer 9

Jesus is actually the God of the Old Testament and goes by the other name of Jehovah; God's name is Elohim (not Jehovah) and this is proven by the cry of:
"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani" when Jesus is at His last on the cross. There can be no dispute that Jesus would have also called His father by His proper name when He was in the act of praying.

Answer 10

re: mark 10:18.

quite the contrary, Jesus was affirming His Deity with this verse.
He didn't say that He wasn't good, He only said that only God is good! See?

In other words, Jesus said: "Why are you calling me good? do you know what you are saying? Don't you know that only God is good? Do you really understand who I am and what you just called me?"

re: 1 corinthians 8:6

Paul was simply affirming the separateness of God the father and God the Son.
