If Jesus was god, why did he have to "learn" to be god?

Question

This is amazingly like stories from Hinduism and other religions where a god "forgets" he is a god. If Jesus was "fully man and god" it would be pretty easy to realize his full potential (i.e. infinite power), which means he would have never had ANY issues healing people (which the Bible states he had issues healing some people...he was unable to heal some).

The New Testament quite clearly states he was unable to heal some people "because of their unbelief", and had issues with some people who did "believe" such as a blind man who saw people "like trees". If Jesus was "Fully God", this should have been easy. Certainly easier than creating the Earth, no?

If I don't understand and everyone who says "Jesus is Lord" is a believer (the Bible says this is true), why are the Churches filled with cripples and sick people? Your god is an awesome god?

Hey folks, read your Bible, I certainly have. Try refuting what I have said. You tel me why your KJV Bible backs that Jesus was unable to heal some people. I doubt he could even raise the dead, if he could not heal lesser issues. If some of you knew the Bible, you would know the verses I speak of. I'm not the Christian (and I have read the Bible in it's entirety), you are, so you provide me answers (the Bible says that too, that you Christians are supposed to have answers for those with questions).

Brian, THANK YOU for quoting the Bible; some of your "brothers and sisters" here seem unable to do it.

Again, if Jesus was "fully god", their unbelief should not matter. According to your Bible, their unbelief in Hell won't keep them out, correct?

I'm not going to your Judaic-Christian hell, because I don't receive it. See, I do RECEIEVE that I am going to be with Zeus and Hera in the real Heaven.

So if just a few peole get together and believe and accept the Earth will vanish, will it? Or maybe just go where ever they desire?

Let me help some of you:

John 8:58 (King James Version)
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Gee, what does that mean?

Answer 1

He went to a God finishing school.

Answer 2

A child can be born as king or prince, and yet, the child has to learn how to be a King/Queen.

Is a shame that there are no accounts about Jesus' childhood. I would have loved to know how he behaved, how did he learn to use his "powers", and if Mary had to be on his back for showing off in front of his little friends. Maybe he did have some issues about healing some people. Probably some "did not deserve it". Probably we'll never know that.

There are some poeple who believe that Jesus went to India and the Far East after he rose from the dead, while Mormons believe that he went before the Nephites and Lamanites (American Indians). In both accounts, Jesus healed many (but not all) who came to him.

In the end, it is all a matter of faith.

Answer 3

Isn`t the real problem here the fact that we cannot fully grasp the concept of God becoming one of us, even as a believer I still find this incredible,oh I believe it alright but still such an incredible feat still leaves me in awe and in some sense not able to fathom such a mystery.
There are endless questions asked to try and fully understand this event but when it is all said and done we are still left in wonder and finally have to accept in faith that it is a truth.
Science cannot help us here and really no amount of talk can either,it really boils down to faith again and again.
God became so fully human that He humbly submitted to the full human condition and experience, and this included learning,suffering, tears and laughter, the whole nine yards in fact, the only difference being that He was without sin.
You could easily spend a whole lifetime just meditating on this incredible fact of God made man.

Answer 4

Jesus was fully God even when He was a child. At all times He was up holding the Universe. You may want to read, what the scriptures really says;

Matthew 13:58
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

If there was no belief then the people of a town, would not bring their sick, and thus there would not be any healings. There is nothing here about learning to be God!

------------------------

Jesus is God. Those that reject this truth, and do not repent will not enter heaven.

John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I AM, ye shall die in your sins. (cf. Exodus 3:14)

And Thomas answered and said unto him (i.e. JESUS), MY LORD and MY GOD.

Answer 5

First of all, He never claimed to BE Yah, nor did His disciples claim He is Yah. His testimony, and the testimony of the disciples, was that He is the SON of Yah. Paul also taught that it was not considered robbery to be EQUAL to Yah, not ABOVE Yah, as Lucifer tried to do.To fully grasp what this means, you have to understand the ancient ways of the relationship between a father and son concerning the Law and inheritance. Christianity does not understand this, which is why they butt heads with Judaism, and Islam does not know the love of Yah, which is why they butt heads with Christianity and Judaism. The truth is simply in the TORAH, Old Testament, and New Testament ONLY. When you start inserting other things, by other teachers, that's when you start getting confused.
Yahshua Messiah received ALL power from His Creator, the Father of ALL Creation, which John 1:1 holds true to this when you start looking at the original meaning in Gen. 1:1
As for why He could not heal everyone, it was because of their lack of faith, not because He could not do it. They could not RECEIVE it. Look at the parable of the seed sower, and you will find that not everyone RECEIVES the truth, nor does everyone KEEP the truth.
"Those who receive the word of a prophet will receive a prophets reward, and those who receive that of a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.'

Answer 6

Jesus is God's Son, not god himself. At John 10:36, he said: "I am God's Son."

John 3:17 clearly says it was God's Son who was sent to earth, NOT 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 7

I have found even with the most obvious things, even when they are right in front of a person's face and cannot be denied some people are still capable of not "believing it" believe it or not... to be conscious of something is to be aware of it, Many have their awareness restricted because of ideas programmed into their minds "that will" not allow them to accept facts, and nothing except your own conscience can alert you to the fact that you are not aware and to decide to listen. What does it usually take to awake up and realize just how much more aware one can be? Well this is the individuals path and must be chosen by the individual and is different for every one of us.

When we realize that we limit ourselves because of ideas that control what we will allow ourselves to believe then we can begin to begin to explore what it is we actually are.

Answer 8

where in the bible was THAT more info pls.
by default god is a slave to his word, so if god has personally DAMNed a person to a sickness, jesus even god the father himself will not heal this person.

was it that time when jesus refuse to heal someboby coz it would couse more harm than good. it happen coz after jesus heal some other cripple. the person got persicuted for being HEALED. (it is ILLEGAL for you to be HEALLED on a SABBATH you are guilty coz u accepted the healling) carzy people ... lolz

Answer 9

Jesus the son , God the Father and the Holy Ghost are the Holy trinity. In order to understand what we as humans felt Jesus came to this world as a baby so he could understand our complexities and our human nature. God as a God is not of our flesh. Jesus died on the cross taking on all of the sins of the past and future. He now sits at the right hand of God and intercedes for us in prayer. Your responsibility is to accept Jesus as your savior and repent your sins,if you deny God and Jesus you denied the right to eternal salvation.
Jesus already knew about being God, he wanted to understand his creation better.

Answer 10

Hi,
Please check your facts before you speak about Jesus. It is very clear that you do not know much about his life or the work he is doing. As far as the healings go, His healings were 100%. Whomever he wanted to heal healed....in fact he raised the dead, so if there was a worse case scenario, death would be it, and he has power over death. Sickness or disease is nothing compared to death.

Answer 11

You will never understand, for you are not a Christian... As long as someone doesn't believe in something, these person shall never know the real facts about it. People can give you several explanations, but I'm certain that you still, will encounter problems which you can't find answers for.
