The only-begotten Son of God, the only Son produced by Jehovah alone. This Son is the firstborn of all creation. By means of him all other things in heaven and on earth were created. He is the second-greatest personage in the universe. It is this Son whom Jehovah sent to the earth to give his life as a ransom for mankind, thus opening the way to eternal life for those of Adam’s offspring who would exercise faith. This same Son, restored to heavenly glory, now rules as King, with authority to destroy all the wicked and to carry out his Father’s original purpose for the earth. The Hebrew form of the name Jesus means “Jehovah Is Salvation”; Christ is the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma‧shi′ach (Messiah), meaning “Anointed One.”
Is Jesus Christ actually God?
John 17:3, RS: “[Jesus prayed to his Father:] This is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God [“who alone art truly God,” NE], and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.” (Notice that Jesus referred not to himself but to his Father in heaven as “the only true God.”)
John 20:17, RS: “Jesus said to her [Mary Magdalene], ‘Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” (So to the resurrected Jesus, the Father was God, just as the Father was God to Mary Magdalene. Interestingly, not once in Scripture do we find the Father addressing the Son as “my God.”) Jesus is God's son not God. The trinity doctrine is false and stops christians from knowing God....The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”—(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”—(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.
Finally also Jesus was a man when he was on earth , when he assended to heaven he would have been a spirit as flesh and blood cant enter heaven 1 corinthians 15:50-54. So even if some claim they have found Jesus' body (how comes to mind) it doesnt change anything.

By some he is considered to be a God, but no he isn't he is the son of God, and if we are to believe his teachings then we would accept that he would NOT want to be known as a God, as it would go against his own words.
As far as Jesus Resurrection this is nothing new spirit are around us all the time, and are seen, Christianity is or should be based on the believe of God, and faith in him, his son was just a messenger, a great one, with great power, but a messenger all the same, I don't know if these so called remains can be proved to be his, but there is proof of a man called Jesus at the time of Christ, going around doing the things Christ was suppose to have done, no proof of course of him being the son of God, the other thing you must remember is man words replacing Gods, man has used religion to control long before Christ, the one we need is faith in God, and ourselves, nothing else matters,
Love & Peace

God is the Absolute Creator, Who begets none nor is He Begotten. God has created everything in this world or even out of this world. If we like in scientific words we can say He initiated the process of creation from nothing and then let it go in physical, mental, chemical and biological form. God is He Who never has to sleep or eat. But we have to eat as well as sleep.
God runs the whole world mechanism. He has set angles for specific works. He has His own science and nature. If God had to sleep who would run the whole world while He would sleep. If God had to eat whom He would eat. God is above these. That is God is an Unique Entity, Power or Existence. Decay cannot touch Him. By definition God is an Existence whom nobody created but He created everybody.
Now if we look back into Jesus (peace be upon him), we would see that Jesus used to live like any other human like us i.e., eat, sleep and release. If God sleeps who would take care of the world?
Thus Jesus (peace be upon him) was not God or the Creator rather he was created or cloned out of his mother, Merry. But unlike us he was also a chosen man by the God. That is he was a prophet of God, Allah subhanah. Of course the base of Christianity is already shaken because 90% of the bible is man-made written form or their opinion. The people who compiled bible could not understand at that time the miracles associated with the birth of Jesus so they added their own opinions. Bible is the man-made version of the heavenly book Injil.
The integrity of the Quran is promised by the God Himself because this the end time meaning no new prophets is going to come. From the computer analysis of the verse, 'Over it are 19' many clues of the integrity of the Quran have been found. If we want to know what was originally written in bible then it is enough to read the Quran because Injil and other previous heavenly books have been summarised in the Quran.
May God give us the ability to read and understand the Quran.

Jesus is not considered a god He is God. he's apart of him. like,...have you ever heard anyone talk about the trinity??? well, they are all one. God the father, Son and Holy spirit.
They cannot have possibly found his body if he ressurected. These bones could be a hoax. i stopped paying attention to what the world was saying about Jesus a while ago what with people saying their Jesus statues cried blood and what not. in the end, it all comes down to whether or not you believe he ressurected. and ya know, how would they be able to prove that those are the remains of Jesus??? with some secret government dna stached somewhere???

What you're puzzled approximately is termed the Trinity. No human beings can in all probability comprehend it totally. the only right way i attempt to comprehend (that's not a suited analogy by employing any skill) is that God the father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are like an apple. The Apple Analogy: center – pores and skin – fruit • 3 areas of one situation • if one is taken away it continues to be an apple • each and each section is distinctive from the others • each and each is barely purely a factor • each and each section has a activity to do center: the father pores and skin: Holy Spirit Flesh: Jesus "the only right photograph (no longer an analogy) that we are given for the Trinity is persons-in-relation (see Jn. 17:11; 20-26). it somewhat is the only right photograph that shows the cohesion of the Triune God. it fairly is a cohesion of persons, bonded so intimately in dating that they are one fact, one being. wish that enables."

Jesus is not "a" God....Jesus was God made flesh. You ask a question, if He hadn't actually risen, where would that leave us. Paul addressed that in his epistle. He said, if Christ has not risen, we are still in our sins.
That TV program isn't about anything valid. It's a bunch of people making things up. That "tomb" is not a new discovery...archaeologists have known about it for at least 20 years, and have already discarded the boxes found inside as anything of historical significance.
Word to the wise: don't believe everything you see on television.

NO REMAINS HAVE BEEN FOUND. You need to understand the facts I think and not just follow what the crowd say. Following film producers leads to all sorts of erroneous coverings of the actual truth. Jesus is still in his rightful place as the Son part of the One triune God

Jesus Christ is the Word and is God.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

It depends on which religion you follow -
Unitarin Christians say he was a prophet
Trinitairian Christins say he was God(But have no proof)
Muslim beleive he was a most great Prophet.
In anycase he himself said that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven. So it would make sense that bones may have been found if if can be found they are of a Jewish man from 2,000 years ago.
