Jesus is not God.

Answer 2

Jesus is the way! Jesus took our sin upon Himself (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died in our place (Romans 5:8), taking the punishment that we deserve. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death (Romans 6:4-5). Why did He do it? Jesus answered that question Himself, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Jesus died so that we could live. If we place our faith in Jesus, trusting His death as the payment for our sins - all of our sins are forgiven and washed away.

The Resurrection is the triumphant and glorious victory for every believer in Jesus Christ who died, was buried, and rose the third day according to the Scripture. And, He is coming again! The dead in Christ will be raised up, and those who remain and are alive at His coming will be changed and receive new, glorified bodies (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). Why is the resurrection of Jesus Christ important? It demonstrated that God accepted Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf. It proves that God has the power to raise us from the dead. It guarantees that those who believe in Christ will not remain dead, but will be resurrected unto eternal life. That is our blessed hope!

Answer 3

To a natural mind there is no logic.
To a spiritual mind there is revelation and understanding how this is possible.

We believe Jesus is both the Son of God and part of God because he told us both in the scripture and from his words when he was physically here on earth for the first part of his ministry. God cannot lie. Only Jesus could die for us because all other sacrifices would not be pure and holy enough to cleanse us from sin.

You did not request scripture references so i posted none.

Answer 4

No TRUE Christian believes that Jesus is God. While Jesus is often called the Son of God in the Bible, nobody in the first century ever thought of him as being God the Son. Even the demons, who "believe there is one God," knew from their experience in the spirit realm that Jesus was not God. So, correctly, they addressed Jesus as the separate "Son of God." (James 2:19; Matthew 8:29) And when Jesus died, the pagan Roman soldiers standing by knew enough to say that what they had heard from his followers must be right, not that Jesus was God, but that "certainly this was God's Son."—Matthew 27:54.

Hence, the phrase "Son of God" refers to Jesus as a separate created being, not as part of a Trinity. As the Son of God, he could not be God himself, for John 1:18 says: "No one has ever seen God."—RS, Catholic edition.

The disciples viewed Jesus as the "one mediator between God and men," not as God himself. (1 Timothy 2:5) Since by definition a mediator is someone separate from those who need mediation, it would be a contradiction for Jesus to be one entity with either of the parties he is trying to reconcile. That would be a pretending to be something he is not.

The Bible is clear and consistent about the relationship of God to Jesus. Jehovah God alone is Almighty. He created the prehuman Jesus directly. Thus, Jesus had a beginning and could never be coequal with God in power or eternity.

Answer 5

he died but he rose again. the trinity is confusing but it means that there is a father, a son, and a spirit, yet they are all God. but since Jesus, the son, is not the father, God didnt die. plus you have to remember that Jesus rose again and then descended into heaven (without dying). so he isnt dead. the bible says all this and christians believe the bible is truth

Answer 6

The Bible says "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength" (1 Corinthians 1:25).

God is so great that we cannot understand every aspect of God. Can a created thing understand fully the thing that created it?

God is immortal, and only God is immortal by his own nature. Human beings can live forever only if God keeps them alive, they cannot survive by themselves and will die.

So it does seem a contradiction that Jesus, who is God, can die. But Christians believe that Jesus was not only God but also human, and humans can die. Just as it is impossible for us to fully understand how God can be a human in the form of Jesus and yet still be God at the same time, it is equally impossible to understand fully how Jesus can die. Perhaps the human part of Jesus died but the God part did not die. After all, before his death, he said:

John 10:17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father."

So even after he was dead, Jesus had the power to take up his life again. This suggests to me that part of him was not dead, the part of him that had the power to take up life again, the part that was God. This is just a guess on my part, i do not know the answer.

Notice also that he said that it was he who laid down his life of his own accord.

Answer 7

because the Holy Trinity consists of 3 equal "persons" : God, Jesus, Holy Spirit. Therefore sometimes people confuse God and Jesus... Nevertheless, even Jesus didn't actually die on the Cross; his human nature did!

Answer 8

Jesus is beleived to be the son of God and all humans are also sons of God.

There is only one God. Jesus is not God:

Jesus was sepcial because like Muhamed he is a prophet.
However the diffrence is that Jesus thought us to love each other and love our God.
The Holly spirit was sent to Jesus by God.
Christians beleive that Jesus is the father, the son and the holly spirit because
Jesus died for us, to save us from our sins therefore he is our father
He is the son of God like any other person
and he is the holy spirit because the holy spirit came to him

In sum, Jesus is not God but he is the son of God like you and me and what makes him special is that he is a prophet and that the holy spirit came to him and that he thaught us how to love each other and how to love our God...

Answer 9

Jesus is God's son. He came to earth to tell people about God. He's not dead now, he rose again and went back in Heaven with God. He didn't to show how much he loves us and that he forgives us of our sins.

Answer 10

They believe God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one entity. God of course can't die, but Jesus, who was made of human flesh, could.
