Answer 2

Christianity believes in Trinity ie -God takes three forms as the father the son & the Holy ghost. They further say that the father the son & the holy ghost form one God. in short God is 3-in-1 & 1in 3
Befor goin further bear in mind the following:
John 17:3
" ' And this life is eternal, that they might knowThee, the ONLY TRUE GOD , and Jesu Christ whom thou has sent' "

Mark 12:32
"And the scribe said unto him, 'Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: For there is one God ; & there is none but He' '
Commenting on these verses cristisns say " that one God may have three forms"
Answer: When God took the form of Jesus & when he died did the ONE GOD described in John & Mark also die.?
The Christians onthis answer say : See God can take three forms all at once as a man can be a Father a brother & a Businessman at the same time .
Answer to the above :
Agreed for sake o argument .
But if the sister o the brother tells him a secret, the father will also know & the businessman will know the secret, being one and the same person.
But jesus said:
Mark 13:32
"No one knows about the Day or the Hour, not even the angels,not the son , only the father."
which is sufficient to prove that Jesus isnt a form o God.

Answer 3

First off, the Bible talks about Jesus everywhere. The Old Testament part of the Bible has all these prophecies about him that are fulfilled later. The Bible says that Jesus is God, and that he is God's son. This is part of the trinity like you're talking about. But, to read about Jesus and who he really was, take a look at the gospels. These are the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the Bible. They can be found at the beginning of the New Testament, which is like the second half of the Bible. John especially explains Jesus well. John 1:1 says 'in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God'. That seems confusing, but its meaning is clear: Jesus is being called the word. He IS God, but yet, he is God's son. BTW, Jesus is awesome, you should get to know Him. Pick up a New International Bible (NIV) and read John. (Not 1st John, just John.

Answer 4

Sorry you will have to read the texts from your own bible. I did not quote the text here in the service of brevity.
John 14:1-3
This text is often used as a promise for something better but it is the rest of the chapter that explains what it meant. Jesus was telling the disciples that he was about to physically leave them. As the corporeal reality was the only one they understood they felt a considerable sense of loss.
John 14:4-7
Jesus was trying to help the disciples understand state of being not place.
That the disciples continued to misunderstand is illustrated by the following.
John 14:8-9
Philip and the others continued in corporeal thinking. They were looking for a Father who was a corporeal being. God is a Spirit. John 4:24 John 4:23&24

John 14:10,11
The concept of Spirit is so foreign to us that we can see the words but not have any understanding. We think we understand our physical reality yet modern cosmology tells us we do not. Modern cosmologists and mathematicians suggest that even our observations at the subatomic level change what is going on.

Jesus used the word go because the disciples could not understand I am in the Father, and the Father in me. The words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works. This duality of nature that was the incarnate Christ is illustrated by the previous chapter.

John13:21ASV
Jesus the human spoke as the Spirit moved him and yet was still troubled by what was about to happen.

This would not be complete without the reason why we no longer see Christ with our corporeal eyes.

John 14:14-16ASV
Finally we get to the point. The other Comforter is none other than eYSHUA Himself. And this is the reason we no longer have him as a corporeal person here on earth. No corporeal thing can be in two corporeal places at once. Therefore the promise to be forever with those who believe on Him requires him to be a Spirit.
John 14:16-18
The translators and perhaps the original writers insisted on trying to keep this story absolutely true to corporeal existence. The use of the term “other Comforter” belies the truth in “ye know him” and He abideth with you. Then Jesus refers to his eminent leaving the corporeal existence by contrasting what will happen to Him with the Comforter.
John 14:19-21 manifest myself unto him
And just how pray tell was he going to do that?
John 14:23 and make our abode with him
Jesus’ relationship to The Spirit was just the same as what he was telling the disciples would be their experience after he left the corporeal existence.
John 14:26
We can have this relationship to The Spirit such that we feel The Spirit in ourselves as we live and if we ask He will reveal everything we are to know and answer all our questions to our benefit.

In conclusion: Jesus could not be a corporeal person in this “reality” and be The Spirit to corporeal beings in this reality. He is The Spirit and He is with us always.

Answer 5

Jesus was asociated with the following.
First, it was said that he was the One promised by God who will step on the serpent's head whose heels will be bitten back.
Second he was said to be the promised Messiah who is like Moses.
Third, he was said to be coming from the roots of Jesse or David.
Fourth, he is what was described best in Psalm 22, 38, 69
Fifth, In Isaiah 7, 11, 14
In Ezekiel 17, 21
In Zechariah 13
Sixth, Matthew 26:64
Seventh, Revelation 22:16
If you can read and digest everything, maybe you will understand also what he is not against what he is according to the religions. Take extensive notes on Isaiah 14:12-17.

Answer 6

Do you mean the Old Testament, or the New Testament?
It would be helpful if you clarify the exact purpose of your question; are you trying to decide if you believe in Jesus based on belief in the Tanakh, or trying to find the origins of Jesus from the New Testament?

Answer 7

Jesus is the Lamb of God.

"The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." - John 1:29 KJV

Jesus is the Son of God.

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." - John 3:17 KJV

Jesus is the Saviour of the World.

"And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world." - John 4:42 KJV

Jesus is the Living Bread.

"I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." - John 6:51 KJV

Jesus is the Light of the World.

"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." - John 8:12 KJV

Jesus is the door to Heaven.

"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." - John 10:9 KJV

Jesus is the Good Shephred.

"I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." - John 10:11 KJV

Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life.

"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:" - John 11:25 KJV

Jesus is the Way, The Truth, and the Life..

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." - John 14:6 KJV

Jesus is the great God and Saviour.

"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;" - Titus 2:13 KJV

Jesus is the true God and eternal life.

"And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life." - 1 John 5:20 KJV

Answer 8

I'm not sure why you rule out one potential aspect of the explanation. If you really want an answer why do you rule out certain explanations in advance?

Read John 1:1-14. Jesus (not the Bible) is "the Word of God". He is the physical embodiment of what God has to say to us.

Jesus is pre-existent. He existed prior to having the physical form we know from history.

All things were made through Jesus. This is consistent with Genesis where it says that God spoke everything into existence. If Jesus is the Word of God, when God speaks, Jesus is involved.

Jesus has the power to restore us to the family of God. We are separated from God by sin; Jesus makes us God's children.

Jesus was full of Truth. As the Word of God, he could be nothing else.

Jesus was full of Grace (unmeritted favor). He offers salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, to all who believe.

There are lots of other passages but I like this one because it sums up so many aspects of Jesus' character and role.

At your request I haven't dealt with the proofs for trinitarianism that exist in this passage.

Answer 9

Jesus the son of God
John 1:

Answer 10

Read the 4 Gospels. And also, a book on Old Testament prophesies of the Messiah & Jesus who fulfilled them.

There are web sites that have hundreds. Do a net search of Messiah prophecies fulfilled (a guess).

Then the rest of the New Testament & Revelation. Blessed is everyone who reads Revelation. It warns us of end times & warns us of plagerizing Revelation at then end.

Answer 11

The best answer in my opinion is to get you a study bible(Ryrie study bible is very good, i.m.o.) if you want to go in depth about it. The best scripture i can give you is John 3:16."For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotton Son(Jesus) that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
