I am a Christian-follower of Jesus Christ. I have heard that though the Catholic religion does believe that Jesus is the Son of God, it does not believe that Jesus was in fact God in human form. Thoughts?

Okay, I wasn't trying to accuse, that's just what I've heard. I believe that Jesus is God totally and completely.
I just had heard that Catholics did not, and I wanted to know if that was correct.
Thank you for clearing that up.
Oh and I'm a girl.

+ The Holy Trinity +
Catholics believe in the Holy Trinity.
The doctrine of the Holy Trinity in which the one true God is made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
This belief is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals and Episcopalians.

+ The Dual Nature of Christ +
Catholics believe that Jesus Christ is completely God (divine) and completely human at the same time, "True God and True Man."

What planet are you from? Or are you ignorant!
The Catholicism is a Christian domination and followers of Christ. We believe that Jesus is God and the son of God along with the Holy Spirit. This is called the Holy Trinity.
We believe that Jesus (God) was born of the Virgin Mary (Virgin) whom was conceived by the Holy Spirt. Jesus died on the cross for our sins (Original sin of Adam & Eve) so He can open the gates of heaven to whom ever is a follower of Christ. On the third day he rose from the dead. He stayed on earth for 40 days and ascended into heaven in the flesh.

The Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics have a small disagreement on "Filque" ... Filioque: A word meaning "and (from) the Son," added to the Latin version of the Niceno-Constantinopolian Creed, by which the Latin Tradition of the Creed confesses that the Holy Spirt "Proceeds from the father an the Son"

Absolutely NOT true...!!
We say the Apostles Creed at every Mass which states: "....we believe in one Lord Jesus Christ eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God. Begotten not made, one in being with the Father, through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, by the power of the Holy Spirity, he was born of the Virgin Mary and became Man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, suffered, died and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead..."
We certainly believe in Christ as God and as Man. I don't know where you heard this, but please tell that person to check out the facts.

Catholics believe Jesus is "God incarnate", in other words - God in human form. This is what makes Him the Messiah, the "Son of God".

We Catholics believe in the Holy Trinity. Jesus was both the son of God and God all in one. It is not a simple concept to fit into your brain, I agree.

that's inaccurate. we Catholics believe that Jesus is the Son of God. we also believe that the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are the Three Persons of the One God, what we call the Divine Mystery.

Has your pastor been dissin Cathololizm again? Well go tell him that thats bull.Jesus was God in the flesh. He walked with and amongst His people. If He wasn't in human form, how is it that He could die a violent death on the cross for you and me. I'm Catholic and the source is my faith.
