If Jesus was fully human and fully god....?

Question

Then he wouldn't be perfect, all humans make mistakes!

As I have said before on previous questions that I awsered, historians suggest that him and Mary Magdalen *I know I spelt that wrong* got married and had kids.

*So if some of you say that Jesus was perfect wouldn't that just make him fully God? or would you say that Jesus was just God in human form? and if that's true how could he sacrific himself to himself? that just doesn't make sense...

How can Jesus be his own father???

There are more books and stuff that state this besides the Da'Vinci Code

FYI I have heard of the Trinity so don't tell me it again and again.

God
Son
Holy Spirit

So...Asking questions about Jesus, The Bible, God, ect. makes me up relgious? Why can't people wonder about who and what Jesus did?

*I don't know what am, I don't have to choose a religion or anything to put my faith in. Perhaps I want to learn and know something before I say that I believe in it. If that makes me an atheists then I guess I'm an atheists, atleast they can respect someone who has questions about Jesus and can think about things without condeming themselves and others to hell.

Answer 1

If Jesus was fully human and fully god it would totally ROCK to have him on your volleyball team.

Answer 2

It seems no matter what anyone says you will just not accept it. Jesus was not married, it is not recorded in the Bible and it is a lie to detract from the true message of Christ. The Davinci Code is hardly a book to get truth about God. You need the Holy Spirit to understand spiritual things, it is a mystery that only makes sense when a person has the Spirit of God. If you understand the Trinity it all makes sense. Without the Holy Spirit you might as well go and pound your head against a wall for understanding. God has to remove the veil from your eyes.

Answer 3

I am a devout Christian as you know Darcy and I don't think the phrase make since either but not for the reasons you mentioned.

Where did the phrase come from?

This phrase is NO WHERE in Scritpure! Basically it is an answer to this very difficult question about understanding the identity of Jesus. Something that I still struggle with. Who was Jesus? He was the Son of God. Yes....but to what extent was he divine. Was he God? But wasn't he man? These tough questions are answered by the overly simplistic and paradoxial statement He is FULLY Man and FULLY God. This statement is completely contradictory in terms of THEOLOGY, NATURE, and PHILOSPHOPHY.

I do believe that Jesus was a man. Scripture teaches us that we are all perfect upon birth. Jesus was our example that he was born yet did not sin. The is the only extent to which Jesus was perfect. He was tempted in every way just like we are but choose not to sin. So if he was tempted that means he had the possiblity to sin.

Jesus was a man. Jesus is the Son of God.

Answer 4

My faith has a slightly diffrent take then some other Christian faiths. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (( mormon)) We believe that Jesus and God are seperate people, That Jesus is God's Son and was mortal until after his resurection, although he was perfect, a unique human and as Gods only begotten Son, the only one capable of being truely perfect. He knew before comming to earth that he would ahve to make the sacrifice he did and lived his life to fullfill that end because he loved us so much. - As for the Mary Magdalen story, we don't have specific docterine on that but do not completely disregard it either. We believe that to attain the highest kingdom of heaven, you must be babtized, confirmed, married in the sight of God for Time and All Eternity. And it is speculated that even, and especially Christ would have to follow the same laws inorder to complety obtain his diefic mantle as Lord of this Earth.

Answer 5

I think that you need to backk up a bit and read the Gospels. You'll get an accurate view on what he was supposed to have said about himself. The Epistles that Paul Wrote- Especially Hebrews would also be helpful to you.

Have you even read the Gospels yet? I ask because I have seen this question and it always seems that the asker is too unfamilliar with the story that was reported in the first place-- it's easy to get confused that way.

Try reading it first. Your answers are already in there.

Answer 6

I'm not particularly a religious person. That being said, your last phrase of "that just doesn't make sense" tells me that you're not either. If you can ask that question, then you don't have faith.

Faith IS your ability to believe without questioning, for whatever that's worth. Besides, if anyone truly knew the answer to that question, there'd be no need for faith, and without faith, God is nothing.

Answer 7

He was fully human, in that, He experienced the same emotions and other attributes of humans, yet He was without sin, that is, He was not born with a sin nature since the curse of sin is passed on from father to child. Did He make mistakes? Nothing is recorded to say He did, but I imagine He did bump His head now and then, or stumble over a stone. But He did not sin.
There is no reputable historian who will claim that Christ ever married Mary Magdalene.
The hypo static union means He was fully God, and fully human. It is believed He set aside His Godly powers while on earth and relied on the Father and Holy Spirit for miracles and such.
The reason He was the perfect sacrifice for the sins of His people is that He was totally sinless, a pure sacrifice. The penalty for sin is death, He was the only one qualified to take on the sins of His people and pay the penalty for those sins. His sacrifice paid the price in full to the Father. Either He takes on our penalty for our sins or we pay ourselves, which is eternal judgement.

Answer 8

It's not historians that say that...it's speculators. There are no credible scholars that say that.
Second, if you were meant to be able to fully understand the hypostatic union (God being God and man at the same time) you wouldnt have to ask the question.
Jesus HAD to be fully God and fully man to BE the perfect SACRIFICE for our sins, and fulfill the righteousness of God. Now if you think that God made a mistake there...you ought to take it up with Him. I'm sure He'll listen Job 38-40

Answer 9

1) Mary (his mother) was a vergin... He was concived by GOD so he was sinless. God made him sinless and what God says happens. This is in the Bible

2) NO WHERE in the Bible does it say that he was EVER married or had kids.

3) Christ didnt sacrifice himself to himself.. He Died because he had previously made the rule that sin must be covered by sacrifice in order to be forgiven by God. He knew that He was the perfect sacrifice and the only one that could provide the last spilling of Blood.

Make sence?

Answer 10

He's actually half human and half God. If he were fully God, he couldn't die. If he were fully human, he couldn't raise himself from the dead. It was the fact that he had both aspects which made the resurrection possible. As he was half human and half god, he could choose when he would die or even if he would die.
He was the only human who was perfect. In theory, we all can be perfect. But he was the only one who did it in practice.
God the Father and Jesus Christ are separate individuals. Yes, individuals, whose image we are patterned after (they are one in purpose, as Christ bid his twelve apostles to be). So of course he didn't sacrifice himself to himself.
