Is Jesus God?

Answer 1

Jesus is God

Jesus is the Word. I will add His name in parenthesis next to the Word.

In the beginning was the Word(Jesus), and the Word(Jesus) was with God, and the Word(Jesus) was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:1-5

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
The Word Becomes Flesh

And the Word(Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’” And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. John 1:6-18

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” John 8:56-58

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. Colossians 1:15-20

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
1 Timothy 3:16

Answer 2

Yes, he is God in man. I mean both God and man. Many people find this hard to accept. Jesus was one man who was able to culture and radiate the God in him. The Bible mentions two other men who were able to do the same: Enoch and Elijah.

Every time people call Jesus God, Jesus calls himself the Son of Man. When Jesus was questioned about his godliness he answered by saying: "The Father and I are one"; "Before Abraham 'I Am'." By the way 'I Am' was the accepted name of God then, that was why the Jews tried to stone him. What Jesus wanted to tell us is that (1) he is both man and God, (2) that we are all just like him. We are all God in Men. (3) We can do what he has done.

Answer 3

No. Jesus was the most spiritually enlightened man to walk the earth. His relationship to God is the same as ours. Jesus is our brother and God is our father.

Answer 4

No Jesus is not God, he was just a prophet who want to make this world a better place

Answer 5

Yes.

Almost all Christians believe that Jesus us God.

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states that there is one true God made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The Bible does not contain the word Trinity. However, the Holy Trinity is hinted at repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. For many biblical references, see: http://www.cwo.com/~pentrack/catholic/Trinity.txt

Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the early Christians prayed and struggled over these hints for a couple of centuries. The concept of the Holy Trinity (three equal persons in one God) was mainstream Christianity in 325 A.D. at the Council of Nicaea and our belief is expressed in the Nicene Creed from that council:

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. ...

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. ...

This belief is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and the Salvation Army.

With love in Christ.

Answer 6

No.

The only source outside the New Testament and the apocryphal gospels that mentions Jesus around the time he was alive is Josephus. Josephus mentions him twice. Once he refers to him as the "so-called Messiah." If Josephus thought Jesus was really the Messiah, he wouldn't have included the "so-called" part.

The other time Josephus mentions Jesus, he is adamant that Jesus really was the Messiah. Christians like to use that quote as evidence that Jesus really lived and was divine. However, modern scholars have shown that it was a later forgery.

Josephus despised Messianic figures who were common in Judea at that time (Jesus wasn't the only person people believed was the Messiah). He believed that these charismatic leaders gathered crowds of gullible fools as followers. It is very unlikely that he would insert a passage about how Jesus was the true Messiah in the midst of all his other writings about how "Messiahs" were a blight on Judea.

The crowd of "gullible fools" that followed Jesus in life continued to spread his teachings after he died. As these teachings spread to the Gentiles, they began to incorporate pagan mythology into it.

One of the more popular aspects of pagan mythology at the time was the worship of humans as gods after their death. Christians teach that the Roman Emperor Constantine was a Christian who believed in the divinity of Jesus. He also built temples dedicated to the worship of his father, Constantius, as a deity. The Roman Emperor Hadrian's homosexual lover, Antinous, was also worshiped as a god. There are hundreds of other examples.

Many Christians began to worship Jesus as God. Those who didn't were eventually deemed heretics and wiped out through warfare and the seizure or destruction of their churches.

Answer 10

John 10:30 " I and my Father are one ".
