If Jesus was GOD?

Question

If Jesus was GOD



If Jesus was GOD, then why in Mark 12:29 Jesus said "Here, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." The words "our God" indicate that Jesus had a higher God over him, a stronger God than him. Jesus didn't say "Your God". He said "our God" which includes Jesus as the creation of GOD.

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 20:17 Jesus said I ascend to my God and your God? This tells us that we and Jesus have a common GOD.

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 8:28 Jesus said "I do nothing of myself"? Can't GOD do anything he wills?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in John 14:28 Jesus said "My Father (GOD) is greater than I"?If Jesus was GOD, then why in Luke 23:46 Jesus said "Father (GOD), into thy hands I commend my spirit"?

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 19:16 Jesus said "Why call me good, there is none good but One, that is GOD"?

(i will continue just wait)

If Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 26:39 Jesus fell on his face and prayed to his GOD?

The "God" Title:
How come Christians take the "God" (theos in Greek) title literally with Jesus in Isiah 9:6 and they don't take it literally for the rest of the prophets and people who were called Gods ?
The Prophets who were called "God" in the Bible are as follows:
Prophet Moses in Exodus 7:1
The Devil in Corinthians 4:4 (the word for God in this verse is theos in Greek, the same used for Jesus that was translated as "God")
Multiple Prophets in Psalms 82:6
King David in Psalm 45:3
Note: The only unique title given to GOD in the Bible that was not given to others at all are Jehova, GOD, and GOD LORD. "God", "Most Mighty" and "Almighty One" are titles that were given to Jesus, other Prophets and to Satan himself in the Bible.

Very important note: Did you know that in the languages of Arabic and Hebrew the father of the house can be called the God of the house? Jesus was the God (father or leader) of his people and their father according to Isiah 9:6. Jesus being the leader and the king, it is normal for him to be called the father of his people (Father in Isiah 9:6), and because he is their father he automatically becomes their God. My father is my God in Arabic and Hebrew.

The "Son" Title:
How come Christians take the "God's Son" title literally with Jesus and they don't take it literally for the rest of the prophets and people who were called the Sons of God?
In John 3:16 Jesus was called God's only Begotten Son.
In Exodus 4:22 "Thus saith Jehova, Isreal is my son, even my firstborn." Isreal was called God's First Son.

In Exodus 4:22 "Thus saith Jehova, Isreal is my son, even my firstborn." Isreal was called God's First Son.
In Jeremiah 31:9 "I am a father to Isreal, and Ephraim is my firstborn." Ephraim is God's First Son and First Born.In Psalm 2:7 "... Jehova had said onto me (David), thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee." David was called God's Begotten Son.

Were Jesus's Miracle's Unique?
If Jesus is believed to be GOD because he could do miracles, he could heal leprosy, he could cause blind men to see, or raise the dead, then what about the others who performed the same miracles?

Elisha and Elijah fed a hundred people with twenty barley loaves and a few ears of corn (2 Kings 4:44).

[Elisha told Naaman, who was a leper, to wash in the river Jordan (2 Kings 5:14) and he was healed. Elisha caused a blind man to see in (2 Kings 6:17,20).

Elijah and Elisha raised the dead in (1 Kings 17:22, and 2 Kings 4:34). Even Elisha's dead bones restored a dead body in (2 Kings 13:21).

Elijah and Elisha raised the dead in (1 Kings 17:22, and 2 Kings 4:34). Even Elisha's dead bones restored a dead body in (2 Kings 13:21).
Indeed Jesus had prophesied that people will worship him uselessly and will believe in doctrines not made by GOD but by men "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Matthew 15:9)"

In Matthew 15:9 above, we see Jesus warning that Trinity (the bogus lie) will dominate, and people will take Jesus as GOD and worship him, which is a total sin according to what Jesus said !!
Allah Almighty (GOD) in the Noble Quran (The Muslims' Holy ******ure) states in Verse 5:72 "They do blaspheme who say: 'God is Christ the son of Mary.' But said Christ: 'O Children of Isreal ! worship God, my Lord and your Lord.' "

Also in Noble Verse 5:73 "They do blaspheme who say God is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them."
And also in Noble Verse 4:171 "O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God, ..."

The Point that I am trying to prove:

Muslims believe that Prophet Jesus peace be upon him is a messenger from God. He was sent from God Almighty to deliver God's words to his people. Jesus was never God, nor ever claimed to be God. Jesus was a humble wonderful human being just like the rest of the Prophets and Messengers of God. Muslims also believe that Jesus was never crucified, nor ever died on the cross, nor ever wanted to die on the cross, nor ever was sent to earth to die on the cross

& MY QUESTION IS
HOW CAN WE SAY THAT JESUS IS A GOD OR EVEN A SON OF GOD ???

Answer 1

God is one entity and 3 beings.

God can say that 1+1+1=1

Jesus is 100% man and 100% God.

You're thinking in a finite realm. It goes beyond that. God is eternal and cannot be limited to physical existence.

"I and the father are one..."

Jesus

Answer 2

These are my two simplistic and overly humanized answers:

1.) Would you follow around a man constantly telling you he is God and how you should worship him and do good deeds in his name, or would you call him a nut job? If I were God and I fully understood human nature, I probably wouldn't reveal myself either so my message would be heard.

2.) Okay so I'm not going to go into the whole trinity thing, I just don't have it in me. But Catholics believe there are three parts/forms/roles/persons of the one true God. We also believe Jesus was fully God and fully man. Without trying to insult or belittle the complexity of this mystery of faith, think of him as having split personality disorder. There is the part of him that is Man, fearful of pain & death, angry at times and tempted by the devil. Then there is the part of him that is God, our savior who is the only one who could open the gates of heaven.

It's a leap of faith, you're either going to believe it or not. Personally, I don't really care if anyone else believes it or not; I'm not trying to convert anyone or condemn anyone else's faith. I have my own problems with organized religion and after 12 years of Catholic school I definitely have lost my interest in the organization, but not my beliefs. I just can't figure out why so many people feel the need to discredit or tear down other people's beliefs to promote their own, especially when you can boil most of the major religions down to Love God, Love All. I don't know why we can't all just agree to disagree and say we're going to live in love and not attack each other over whose closer to God. Without holy wars and religious disagreements, this world would be much more peaceful.

Answer 3

Jesus Christ is the son of the Most Holy Father Jehovah, he is not God. he is sitting on the right hand of Jehovah God. there is the Father Jehovah, Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit. they are not one and the same. Jesus Christ prayed to his Father in the Heaven. when Jesus was baptized, Jehovah came down like a dove and said this is my son the beloved. so how can they be the same.

Answer 4

How can you use the bible to defend your point that Jesus never died on the cross? Doesn't the same book from which you took those verses (out of context, by the way) say that Jesus was crucified?

Answer 5

It seems that you have answered your own question here. You have also been reading somestuff that may or may not be factual. It seems that there are a lot of books claiming to tell the truth of the Biblical accounts. The odd part is that it is a book attempting to disprove a book and using the book that iis being "disproved" as evidence

Answer 6

God the Father has authority over the Son
Jesus is supreme over all creation except for God the father
The Son represents God exactly

Answer 7

These exact same questions have been asked before with the same passages of scripture. And I have answered each and every line many, many times. Jesus is God. He said He was God. He could not be the "bridge" for our sins unless He was God. Man alone could not "bridge" over to God - God had to come to man. Jesus carried "God-blood" in a human body. He came to be our example of how to live in right relationship to the Father. He could not be our perfect example to follow if He accessed any of His God-attributes because we could not follow that (we are not God). So He associated Himself in this life with us to show us how to relate to God. It does not negate the fact that HE was God. The Bible CLEARLY teaches that Jesus is, was, and always shall be GOD. God the Son, second member of the Trinity, the Redeemer, The Lord, The King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, the One who is ONE WITH the Father, the One who is coming again when EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD (Lord as in GOD). Hope you come to realize that before that day because there is no salvation at that point.

Answer 8

Jesus is not God and he is not even the son of God because God have no family ,friends..etc.Jesus is a prophet like all prophets!

Answer 9

Jesus claimed that He was the Son of God in many places and so did His disciples. If muslims like yourself believe that Jesus was a great prophet, then why don't you believe Him?

Answer 10

You really have to know Jesus to understand this, but I'll tell you the answer anyway...

Jesus was God's spirit in flesh. The flesh is what separated the 2.
