I'm confused, how can Jesus be God ?

Question

How can a human being be God ? Jesus ate and slept, so if he was actually God, then why wouldl he need sleep and food to keep him alive.If Jesus is God then who created Adam the first man to be created ? Obviously not Jesus because he came way after Adam. And if Jesus was only created from only a mother and Adam with no parents at all, then Adam would be seen as being greater than Jesus, but how can Adam be creater that God. Therefore Prophet Jesus is not God.
The Bible says - Matthew 14:23----- And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a moutain apart to pray........
- If Jesus is God or a part of God, then why did he pray. Praying comes from those who are submitting, needy and dependent. And God is none of these.

Answer 1

You are right Jesus was not god
the bible states as you do he prayed not talked to himself
Jesus also stated that he who sent me is greater than i
If Jesus is God ..and Jesus was dead who brought him back to life as god would have been dead also .
Satan tried to tempt Jesus by offering him the world if Jesus was god he already owned it

Answer 2

In the beginning the earth was void and darkness was upon the face of the deep...and God said, "Let US make man in our image."
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
These are two verses that helped me kind of figure it out. The Bible says we won't know everything. We see through a glass darkly. God is a mystery. God was with His Son from the beginning. I think He chose to allow Jesus to live on this earth so THEY could feel what it was like to be tempted and know how to reject that temptation and then, to give us a way to save ourselves...even though they didn't have to. When it comes to Adam and Jesus. Adam was created by God. Jesus was with Him from the beginning. As for praying, I think Jesus talked to God just the same way we should. Jesus was God's Son. Jesus begged (His Dad) to release Him from His responsibility (Let this cup pass from me). Sounds pretty needy to me. He had every right to implore and plead to Him just like we do...NOW. Jesus then sent "a comforter" to His disciples after He left. This comforter was the Spirit of God. That makes three!
These are my beliefs.

Answer 3

Even Adam knew of Jesus" coming. I understand your question as I have been there. The "first" man and the "perfect" man are different by default. Rather metaphorically, or literally, the truth is the same. God CREATED both. One from dirt and one through divine conception. One showed who we are and the other what we should be. Jesus was said to have flesh like us, but WE were born of sin unlike him...or Adam who chose sin. Adam did not murder, but he did go against God before Cain did. Like Cain and Able, Jesus and Adam reperesent a duality in my opinion. The first and the chosen.

Answer 4

Awesome question! Reading the Bible is the best way to know...Read from John chapter 1!
Christ, the Eternal Word
In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn't make. 4 Life itself was in him, and this life gives light to everyone. 5 The light shines through the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.
6 God sent John the Baptist 7 to tell everyone about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. 8 John himself was not the light; he was only a witness to the light. 9 The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was going to come into the world.
10 But although the world was made through him, the world didn't recognize him when he came. 11 Even in his own land and among his own people, he was not accepted. 12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn! This is not a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan-this rebirth comes from God.
14 So the Word became human and lived here on earth among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. [fn1] And we have seen his glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father.
15 John pointed him out to the people. He shouted to the crowds, "This is the one I was talking about when I said, `Someone is coming who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before I did.' "
16 We have all benefited from the rich blessings he brought to us-one gracious blessing after another. [fn2] 17 For the law was given through Moses; God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. But his only Son, who is himself God, [fn3] is near to the Father's heart; he has told us about him.

Answer 5

I believe that Jesus, while still a Spirit without a physical body, was given God the Father's power to physically create the Earth and all that is on it.. He also created Physical bodies for Adam and Eve (who were Spirit Children of God the Father until that time)...

It was not until Jesus was born of Mary that He received HIS physical body.

Answer 6

God the Father is spirit, God the Son (Jesus) was 100% God and 100% human,God the Holy Spirit is the spirit of both God and Jesus

Holy Trinity—One God
The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit,
three separate Persons, and yet One.
Divine mystery beyond perception.
We look at One—We look at All.
We pray to One—We pray to All.
We love One—We love All.
One love’s us—All love us.
Father–Son–Holy Spirit—One God.

Jesus is God in the flesh. Jesus is the creator of everything as shown in John 1




1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 14And the Word was made 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 1:1–3, 14, KJV).

Answer 7

Jesus and God are both spirits. Jesus is God's son but together makes one. God sent Jesus to earth as a human to preach his word and teach the diciples what his father wanted. While on earth he indeed had human qualities and lived a human life. God put him on this earth as a human being think about it that way so the people could actually see him, and communicate with them. The people needed an example so God sent a man to follow after. if he was a spirit on earth do you think he would of got Gods word across to as many people. And if he was a spirit he would'nt of been able to die on the cross to save our sins. And yes Jesus did pray to his father because he needed his fathers help while on earth. Jesus is a form of God but God still has all the power.

Answer 8

God is Spirit and a consuming fire. The Holy Scripture describes the Father God as Spirit and Fire. It is told that we cannot look at God without perishing. Moses wanted to see God and he had to hide as God walked by and God let him see a glimpse only of His back. The Bible says the countenance of Moses changed after being with God. The Hebrew people at the mountain of God were so frightened of God that they begged Moses to go and see God in their place.

Yet Enoch walked with God and Abraham entertained God and His angels. Jacob wrestled with (we believe) God.

To touch, feel and see God, you must encounter Jesus Christ who is God in the flesh. Jesus said, "I was slain from the foundation of the world." In the beginning, God said "Let us create man in our image." The Our was the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. All three are the Godhead and all three were at Creation.

What happens is that we limit God. We think God can only be One Entity. The Word of God clearly states God is three entities in One.

Jesus when He walked the earth as God in the flesh is our example to follow. Many times He said He prayed for our benefit because to be our advocate He had to experience everything that mortal man experiences yet without sin. If Jesus had been a person that experienced nothing human then what good would it do for Him to come in flesh? John the Baptist said, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." Jesus was the Lamb without blemish (no sin) and God in human flesh who went to the Cross to take away the sins of the world for you and for me so we could win back eternal life.

Answer 9

Jesus is the Son of God, a special God as well. He prayed to our Father (God) for us.
God is: The Being Perfect in power, wisdom and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the Universe: The incorporated divine Principle ruling over all as eternal. Spirit: Infinite Mind. A powerful ruler:
Jesus is: The Jewish religious teacher whose life, death,and resurrection as reported by the Evangelists are the basis of the Christian message of salvation--called also Jesus Christ. The Highest Human corporeal concept of the divine idea rebuking and destroying error and bringing to light man's immortality.

Answer 10

Legitimate questions like these refute illogical man made doctrines such as Trinity. No trinitarian here could explain or give you a conclusive answer. Its a "Mystery", "We are too limited" they'll say. I say keep asking questions because i've read the gospels..I encourage you to keep asking these questions as you'll see more and more you will pull away from this type of mentality. "Son Of God", "Begotten", "Father Greater than I'am"....

Answer 11

You have it backwards. It is not that a human being became God, but God became a human being. Therefore He was before He came here and did create Adam and Eve.
