Are you committing sin?

Question

God is the only Perfect being.

So God is the One and Only being who has created us.

So if He is the only One who has created us, doesnt that mean we have to pray to Him alone?

And doesnt it mean that making intermediates between Him and us is a sin?

Because Jesus said the Father was greated than him, so Jesus cant be equal to God.

Why do Christians pray to God through Jesus?

It doesnt make sense.

Please explain.

Also refer to my previous question.

Answer 1

The Rabbi Jesus's teaching that we are *all* sons and daughters of "God" -- and by living a lifestyle similar to Jesus we become closer to "God" -- was lost on the the early church, which insisted upon exploiting him to promote their political agenda.

Answer 2

Jesus the man, human that walked the Earth was not worthy because no human is, Jesus humbled himself so we could see real self sacrifice. After Jesus came the Holy Spirit so that we can better understand. We pray through Jesus because without his sacrifice on the cross we would never see the wonders of Heaven.

There is only one GOD can you not see, there is only one the GOD that is THREE.

Answer 3

John 10:30 (Jesus speaking) I and my Father are one. (KJV)

Philippians 2:5-6 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: (KJV)

John 14:28 (Jesus speaking) Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. (KJV)


Both are true. Jesus was equal to, and lesser than, God the Father. This happens because Jesus is equal to God in the spiritual sense, but having been made flesh, took on limitations that God the Father does not have. Not a contradiction.

Answer 4

John 10:30 says:" I and the Father are one." There are many more references that explain that Jesus and God are the same. Jesus is God in the flesh. We pray to Him or to God the Father, it doesn't matter. When Jesus said the Father is greater than He, He referred to his human state.
My Father is greater than I: The Father is greater than the Son in position (particularly regarding the incarnation), not in essence or being. If Jesus were not God in essence, it would be absurd for Him to compare Himself to God in position.

God doesn't have to make sense to us because we are not capable to understand His being. I try to look at it this way:
God the Father is in heaven, He became man for a season in order to dwell amongst us (Jesus), and when he ascended back to heaven, He left the Holy Spirit with us. One and the same with three different personalities.
God did this so that we can understand Him better. If He came down and died, we would not care, but because we have children of our own and can't imagine to make them a sacrifice for humanity, He became man in the sense of a son who died for us. God loved the world so much that He gave His son. That we can understand.

Answer 5

Jesus said he is the mediator between man and God.

Answer 6

A child of God

Answer 8

Jesus said "No one comes to the father except through me." He died for our sins. And he is part of the trinity, and the one who lived as man, so he has mercy.

Well done my son. How many times you pray by looking to "Macca". What is the meaning of perfect being? Can't you also say useless being?
