Jesus lived in heaven before coming to earth as a man-Micah 5:2; John 3:13 He was God's first creation-Colossians 1:15 He is God's son, his only-begotten son. He died so all who want to obey him can live forever-John 3:16,36 Jesus was used to create all other things-Colossians 1:16 Jesus is not the same as his father, God-6:38;17:4,5. God is greater than him-John 14:28; 1 Corinthians 11:3. Find more info. from my listed source at www.watchtower.org.

JESUS is your friend.Someone who loves u unconditionally.Some who cares for u so much that he died just for u and everyone on the cross.JESUS is there when u are alone.Why u cry he is there,when u ashamed he is there,when u feel like u want to die he is there to show u a new way.JESUS above all is your GOD.Your heavenly brother in times of need.Some one u need for your live on earth and in the live to come.
GOD loves u so much that he sent his son JESUS to die for u to reconcile u back.
John 3:16 says "For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoso ever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life".Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with his blood.
With a simple prayer like above u can be saved and u will surely know the answer in heaven if not earth.

I can't possibly say it any better than LP, except to say that Jesus Christ is the Son of Jehovah God. I don't know how much simpler that can be to understand. That is exactly what Jesus was saying to us at
Matthew 16: 15-17: "He said to them: “YOU, though, who do YOU say I am?” 16Â In answer Simon Peter said: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17Â In response Jesus said to him: “Happy you are, Simon son of Jo′nah, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to you, but my Father who is in the heavens did."
John 20:17: "Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me. For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and YOUR Father and to my God and YOUR God.’
Jesus speaking:
Revelation 3:12: "“‘The one that conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out [from it] anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from my God, and that new name of mine."
How many times does Jesus stress that he HAS a God? He never said that he was God Almighty!

I think a whole bunch of people will be saying that Jesus is god, but they probably dont know all of the things Jesus himself taught. In the face of the following words of Yhshua (Jesus in English) himself, if I were to say he is equal to his God YHWH (Jehovah in English) then I would be calling Jesus a liar, and I will *never* do that!
Yhshua is the Messiah, sent by YHWH whom he serves. He was in heaven with YHWH "in the beginning" of the earth and he assisted YHWH in the creation of all material things.
1. If Jesus was God then why is he called the “firstborn” of all creations? Please read Colossians 1:15 and Revelation 3:14.
2. If Jesus was God then why did he say that he did not come of his “own initiative” but was sent? Who sent him? John 8:42 and 1 John 4:9
3. If Jesus was God then why did Jesus not know the “day and the house” of the Great Tribulation but God did? Matthew 24:36
4. Who did Jesus speak to in prayer if he was God? Did he speak to himself when he asked help and strength from God?
5. Jesus “appeared before the person of God for us”? How did he do that if he was God? Hebrews 9:24
6. Why did Jesus say “the Father is Greater than I am”? John 14:28, Philippians 2:5,6
7. Who spoke to Jesus at the time of his baptism saying “this is my son”? Matthew 3:17
8. How could he be exalted to a superior position if he was God? Can you exalt the one who is already the highest? Philippians 2:9,10 (Note: It says “God exalted him to a higher position”. In proper English the word higher and highest is different. This means that God is the highest; Jesus is in the higher position. God has the authority to exalt him to a higher position. That means Jehovah, the father is higher than Jesus)
9. If Jesus was God how can Jesus be the “mediator between God and man?” Jesus is called the MEDIATOR in 1 Timothy 2:5
10. If Jesus was God why did the Apostle Paul say “the head of the Christ is God?” 1 Corinthians 11:30
11. Is Jesus was God then why did Jesus “hand over the Kingdom to his God” and “subject himself to God”? 1 Corinthians 15: 24,28
12. If Jesus was God then who does he refer to as “my God and your God”? John 20:17
13. How does he sit at God’s right hand? Psalms 110:1, Hebrew 10:12, 13
14. If Jesus was God why does John say “no man has seen God at any time?” John saw Jesus. John 1:18
15. Why did not people die when they saw Jesus? Exodus 20:18-19, Exodus 30:20
16. How were Jesus dead and God alive at the same time if they are one? Acts 2:24
17. Why did Jesus need someone to save him? Hebrews 5:7
18. If Jesus was God the one who is referred to prophetically at Proverbs 8:22-31?
19. If Jesus was God then did Jesus say “that all authority has been GIVEN to me in heaven and on earth”? Who gave that authority? Matthew 28:18, Daniel 7:13,14
20. Why did Jesus have godly fear if he was the God? Hebrews 5:7
21. How could he learn obedience and be made perfect? Whom did he obey if he was God? Hebrews 5:8-9
22. Why would an angel be able to strengthen him or the angels minister to him? Does God need to be strengthened and ministered by angels? Luke 22:43, Matthew 4:11
23. Why would Satan try to tempt him if he KNEW that he was GOD? Matthew 4:1-11
24. Jesus when sent to earth was made to “be Lower” than the angels Hebrews 2:7 says. How could any part of a God Head ever be lower than the angels?
25. Then if Jesus was the same as God, who was he being tempted to rebel against? Matthew 4:1
26. Near the end of his earthly life, Jesus cried out “My God, my God why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46 Can God desert or forsake himself?
27. Hebrews 5:8 says that Jesus learned obedience! To whom would he obey if he was God? And does God need to LEARN anything?
Finally; ask yourself, is there a danger of dishonoring “the only true God” if you try to make Jesus co-equal to his Father when in actuality “the Father is greater” and deserves all the recognition and submission Jesus showed Him?

The once and for all atonement for man's sin. The sacrificial lamb that freely gave His life so that whosover believes in Him should not have to die, but have everlasting life.
Ask Him who He is. Open the door and let Him hang out for a while.
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." Rev 3:20

The following are scripture verses that state that He preexisted before His birth and that He was the Creator !!!
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the begin-ning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory. —John 1:1-3, 14a
For by Him all things were created ....All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things.... —Colossians 1:16-17
God, who at various times and in different ways spoke in time past to 1 the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds. —Hebrews 1:1-2
Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." —John 8:58
But to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever." And: "You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands." —Hebrews 1:8a, 10

he's a clone of older, cooler gods like Horus and Mithras. Some people think he actually existed for some reason.
