3 simple questions for Christians?

Question

1- If Jesus was God, why didn't he say I'm God?
2- If Jesus was God, why did he pray to God?
3- If Jesus' mission was to die for our sins, why did he ask God to save him?

Answer 1

1. Your question here is for those who believe in the trinity...not for Christians in general.
2. Ditto
3. Because he was human.

Answer 2

1&2--The Bible says Jesus was not his Father, God. The false trinity doctrine has nothing to do with true Christians. It is not found in the Bible.

3---Jesus on earth behaved like any senseable man. Pain or No-Pain? I'll take No-Pain! The important thing was Jesus chose above all to do his Father's will; to balance the scales of justice to provide a way for returning mankind and earth to God's original purpose.

Answer 3

#1: Jesus was/is the SON of God......"and God sent HIS only begotten Son". God, Jesus & the Holy Ghost are seperate beings but they are of one mind. HE did not say HE was God, because HE was NOT God!
#2: Reasoning as stated in #1 apply here. Jesus taught us how to pray..."Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,". We are to pray to God, and do so in the name of Jesus.
#3: Yes, it is true that Jesus was sent here to die for our sins, that was His mission. We must remember that Jesus was part human as well. When He asked, "Father, if there is any other way, let this cup pass from me", that was His "human" side coming out. But in the end, He KNEW that it was His mission to die for us, and thank GOD HE DID!
GOD BLESS

Answer 4

1. Rather then stating he was a God. He clearly states he is the "Son of God".

I am the Son of God’? - John 10:34

2. Jesus always was showing examples what to do and how to do it.

Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

3. To fulfill bible prophecy (Ps 22:1) Jesus said Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani.

Answer 5

I'm not christian but this is what i think...
1-2. Jesus was God's son
3. It wasn't Jesus's "mission" to die for our sins, he chose to do it, keep in mind he was human...

Answer 6

1 Jesus was the son of God, begotten. "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" John 14:9. He had the fullness of the father in him. The flesh was the son part. John 10:30 says I and my Father are one. God is a spirit and can't be seen. Nor could any human flesh stand in his presence. Jesus was the veil which we could see him.
2 Because he had flesh. The flesh can war against the spirit and becomes weak. Prayer puts our flesh into subjection to the spirit of God and not our own will. "Mt 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak"
3 He didn't all he said was this "Lu 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done". Sort of goes with answer2 His human flesh was feeling the weight of what he was about to do, to be sacrificed for the sins of all mankind.

Answer 7

Because Jesus is the son of God.

Answer 8

1. He did say he was God, if you understand who he was talking to. John 8:56-59. He told the Jews "Even before Abraham was, I AM." Not "I was." To understand the gravity of that statement, we have to know Jewish religious history. There was only one individual who had ever used the term I AM. It was the Lord God, referring to Himself when He spoke to Moses from the burning bush. That name held great dignity among the Jews. It was used for Jehovah and only Jehovah. For anyone else to use that term personally, it was blasphemy in the highest degree. That is why they picked up stones to kill Jesus.

2. Remember, Jesus was here not only to save the world from their sins, but to give us an example of how to live our lives. He showed us that, even though he was as much God as man, even he could show how we should depend on the Father.

3. He knew his mission. But once again, as a man, he was susceptible to feelings, such as loneliness, fear, anger, and his body could suffer pain, fatigue, hunger, and thirst. He knew what was ahead. He was just like us, and was not invulnerable to the same feelings we would feel if we were headed toward such a fate. The difference is, as our example, he lined up his will with the Father's, and obeyed. Even to his brutal death.

Answer 9

1 - He did. Frequently. If you read the Bible it jumps out at you, as it did to the people who whom he was speaking.

2 - Because when Christ came to earth, he was both human and divine - and God the Father is a separate being from Jesus Christ, who is the Son. And so he prayed to keep in contact with His Father.

3- Because as a human, he was hoping to avoid the pain and suffering. As a human, he also submitted to the will of God, even though it was not what he wanted to do.

And there is a lesson for us in each of those answers.

Answer 10

Who ever said that Jesus was god?
In some christian sects, Jesus is believed to be the son of god, while others believe that he is a messenger sent by god.
If you were about to be crusified for all the sins you have commited wouln't you aked to be saved?

Answer 11

Faith is belief in that which cannot be proven.

That said, Jesus was both God and man, Jesus Christ our brother. He did say, "I and the Father are one." Perhaps you missed that one. Jesus often prayed as a model for his followers and also for us. In his suffering, he was in excruciating pain. As man, he cried out to God. If someone beat you and drove nails through your hands and feet and whipped you, you would cry out. So did Jesus.
