How did Jesus grow in favor with God, if he was God?

He was here as man, not God. So He could easily have grown in favor with God.

Answer 2

Good, did you sleep well last night? Maybe this will help you sleep good tonight.

Here are some men and women who mocked God:

JOHN LENNON:
Some years before during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple. Today we are more famous than Him." (1966)
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

TANCREDO NEVES (President of Brazil):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

CAZUZA (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During a show in Canecão ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for You."
He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.

THE MAN WHO BUILT TITANIC:
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it."
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.

MARILYN MONROE:
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He is a preacher and Evangelist and the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus.
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.

BON SCOTT:
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
"Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, wow the highway to hell.
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his vomit.

CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "MY DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU."
She responded: ONLY IF HE (GOD) TRAVELS IN THE BOOT(trunk), COZ INSIDE HERE IT'S ALREADY FULL."
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the boot was intact. The police said there was no way the boot could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the boot was a crate of eggs, none was broken.

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive. JESUS!

Answer 3

Luke was writing about Jesus growing physically like all young persons do. Jesus was learning from his elders, growing physically in height and I know that his Heavenly Father was pleased with him - thus he was a favorite with God the father and with the men around him at that time.

Answer 4

God, to me, is made up of the trinity. God the father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit. God was pleased, as a father, to see how Jesus grew. People liked Jesus.........in favor of God and man. (the bad things started happening, when Jesus became known as the Son of God). Before that, he was a popular fellow.

Answer 5

John 20:17 Jesus said to her: "Stop clinging to me. For I have not yet ascended to the Father.But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.'". John 14:28 You heard that i said to you,I am going away and i am coming back to you. If you loved me,you would rejoice that i am going my way to the Father,because the Father is greater than I am. Matthew3:16 after being baptized Jesus immediately came up from the water; and, look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw descending like a dove God's spirit coming upon him.Look! Also there was a voice from heavens that said: "This is my Son,the beloved,whom I have approved. Did he say he was GOD?

Answer 6

super question. This back in simple terms is going to teach how Jesus is decrease than no circumstances equivalent to God or component of a trinity. I agree, Caleb does look as though a bully and extremely aggressive, in simple terms forget approximately it and save asking those concept frightening questions.

Answer 7

Jesus grew in favor with the Father by his obedience to his earthly parents. "God humbled himself by taking the form of a slave." He would have to experience obedience as a human, as He came not to live, but to die. This is the will of the Father, that He should redeem man by dying on the cross. So He would have to show obedience to God's will. "And he said, 'Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me; yet not what I will, but what thou wilt."

Answer 8

Jesus is NOT God the son. It was lying Jews that Jesus labeled as Satanic sons of the devil that ACCUSED Jesus of being God. - Jhn 8:44, 10:33

Jesus corrected them saying he is a god (small g) as a representative of his father as Moses was and the Jews were suppose to be. - Jhn 10:34,36

Answer 9

Jesus was a man who had inside him, with his approval, the spirit of The Christ. He taught ppl how to live in peace and in unconditional love, even though being in body was more than a little uncomfortable for him. He was able to talk to and hear God loud and clear. He did as he was told, and did it without complaining. Even though it was not necessary for Jesus to die to save us, he knew this and allowed it anyway. God did not need blood to shed in order to forgive. He is God and is quite capable of forgiving without any help. I'm not sure I answered your question, as I do not completely understand. But this is my best shot.
Blessed Be

Answer 10

Jesus is God the SON. his human side was growing in favor with God The FATHER. Remember Jesus behavior as a "man" was recorded as an EXAMPLE for future Christians. We should be growing in favor with God and man.
