Jesus **IS** God. Why is it some Christians dont see this??

Question

Jesus's messagee was simple.
HE is God.
Worship HIM, or burn in Hell. Thats it, thats his message.
You dont get to heaven throo good deeds- you get to Heaven through worshipping Jesus as God. Worship himm as anythingg less than God, then youll burn in Hell.

But I have met some Christians who think Jesus is the 'son' of god.
Wrong. He IS God.
How can people who call themselves Christians not see this?
Even if you are Christian, if you dont worship JESUS as God, you WILL burn in Hell.
***ONLY****people whoi worship Jesus AS God will see Heaven- eveyone else burns in Hell.

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

This was a question I had while Christian and still have as a Muslim. My parents are pastors and I have the utmost respect for them and their beliefs. Mom and Dad always told us that Jesus was God and God was Jesus... you know, the whole 3 in 1 theory etc. But then after hearing from others that they believe Jesus is the literal son of God I knew that was just plain ol' polytheism. Either way, the concept isn't logical to me at all and I suppose that's why I'm a Muslim and not a Christian. But I grew up in a good home and was taught to respect others no matter what their beliefs.

Answer 3

Jesus is the Son of God and God. The Holy Spirit is God. Jesus the Son is God and God the Father is God. Three independent personalities choosing to be called ONE GOD. He also advised us that as He was one with His Father , we have to Be ONE. Many of us have a difficulty to understand because we prefer to understand before we believe and God put it the other way round , we believe and we go closer to Him to understand him.

Nomatter how far you manipulate the Bible , you are never going to prove it before you believe. You Just believe and then you get proof.

Not believing in Jesus will defnately take the unbeliver to Hell . But the sad thing is that Those who demand proof before they believe would be able to get the proof after they have already gone to hell (tooooo late...) Impossible to change mind.

People may come to Jesus because :
-They are afraid to burn in Hell...
-They are impressed by what Jesus did for them and they fall in love with him and want to worship him.

Though both ways might work the second one is much more stronger. Giving your life to him Because you love him knowing that He first Loved you while you were an enemy.

Hebrews 1:3 The Son reflects Gods own glory and everything about him represents God exactly

However all throughout the Bible we that the Father is seen in a higher light


Hebrews1:3 After he died to cleanse us from the stain of sin he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God of heaven

Answer 5

First, Jesus was not his name. His name might have been Yeshua, but, we can't be sure.

Second, Jesus describes God as the father. This makes Jesus the son of God.

Third, God can be both the father and the son and other stuff.

The easiest metaphor to use is that of your being. You can think of God as the entire being, Jesus as the heart of God and the Holy Spirit as the mind of God.

You are not you without your heart, your mind and your being. God is not God without his heart, mind and being.

God's heart was broken and bled for our sins. God gave us the Holy Spirit that we might understand scripture.

People who put their faith in the teachings of people end up in hell, even if that teacher is a priest, an imam, a minister, or anything else.

People who put their faith in God, no matter what name you call him by, go to heaven.

Answer 6

Because Jesus IS also HUMAN. For this reason Christians struggle with the doctrine of the Incarnation. It is interesting, however, to note that the earliest Christians had a more difficult time accepting Jesus' humanity than they did his divinity. After all, John 1:1-14 was written specifically against gnosticism that was present then already. Gnosticism argues for the divinity of Christ but finds it horrendous to say that Jesus, the Truth, would have become human flesh.

My own concerns lie not in figuring out the Trinity (God's inner being within God-self) before I die. Rather, my own concern is to follow Christ. Trinity is a doctrine that helps me do this precisely because it teaches that strict Monotheists can (by the power of the Spirit) appropriately (because Christ is God) follow Jesus of Nazareth (because he was also human, and thus "follow-able").

I hope this isn't utterly confusing. Thanks for the great question.

Answer 7

Jesus said

Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them, but rather to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until Heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of the pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until all things are accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever keeps the commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.”


AND WHAT WAS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT AGAIN?

Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before, me.
Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.


SO HERE IS YOUR DESCRIPTION:-

Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up, to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause, God gave them up, unto vile affections: for even, their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over, to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.

Answer 8

The reason they call him the "son" of God is because that is what he called himself. While he is God, he is also God's son. That is the paradox, that's part of what makes it so difficult for people to understand it. The Bible is very clear that Jesus is God, AND is God's son. Think of it as steam - it's water, and it's also steam. Technically the same material, just in a different form. God is the water, Jesus is the steam... That's the best way I know how to describe the relationship. The Bible says the only way to heaven is through faith in Jesus and acceptance the sacrifice he made.

Answer 9

John 1.

1. In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God...14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only (Jesus), who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

The above is very very very clear. Jesus is God.

I believe some people have a mental block in trying to understand HOW Jesus can be the Son of God YET also God Himself! Remember, Jesus said "You have been with me for so long, and yet you ask to see the Father?"

What they FAIL to realise is that God is Spirit. When they saw Jesus (in the flesh), they saw God inside that body of flesh. Jesus is both the Son of God and God Himself.

Son of God because He is God's only perfect Son, born in the Spirit. God Himself because the body is only a physical cover for the omnipotent spirit of God inside.

Jesus never sacrificed to Himself. Jesus came to fulfill the law. Because the law states that all who sins must die. Yet Jesus who was born without sin was put to death, thereby obliterating the power of the law.

Why did Jesus pray to God? Well, that is one question that can be easily answered by my previous statement that God is Spirit. And spirit bounded in the flesh has its limitations. Jesus prayed to God the Father, yet Jesus was also baptised by John! Why? Does God need to be baptised???

All that Jesus has done is to complete and fulfil the prophesy to the last dot. God found as man must worship God as a man. Everything that He had done was for our good and complete salvation. And to set as an example for us to follow.

I am saddened that there are so few, so few christians who have spent much time in meditating on the word of God. Otherwise, some of those here would not be asking such elementary questions. Worse, some insisting they are right despite what has been taught.

Answer 10

Sadly, I think the Christians who don't see that Jesus and God are one are misguided and have been taught wrong by their church. I agree with you that you don't go to Heaven by doing good works, which some churches falsely believe; but by the grace of God.

However, Jesus is God's son too, that's where the Trinity comes in, the Father, Son,. Holy Ghost are three, yet one.
