I have faith... I believe in God, totally, but... how can anyone expect people to just go along with the idea that Jesus IS God and Man at the same time and was worshipping God, who he's meant to be...
that defies logic.
I do believe that Jesus was sent by God as a prophet, but he was not God. He worshipped him just like the rest of us and not because he is/was Him.
And there never seems to be a clear answer about this. it just seems to be accepted that Jesus, God and the Holy spirit are one and the same. WHY??

Christendom believes the false doctrine that Jesus is God in the flesh. True Christians know this not to be true. The Catholic Church adopted this doctrine from pagan religions and Greek philosophers in the 3rd Century. Any encyclopedia will tell you this. I personally did research in the Catholic Encyclopedia and it said the Trinity is not found in the scriptures. The first century Christians never believed Jesus was God. Only religious opposers claimed that Jesus was saying that.
Jesus is the Son of God. Nothing more and nothing less. Jesus is our model to follow. He worshiped the true God, his heavenly Father, and did what was pleasing in his Father's eyes. (1st Peter 2:21)
The King James Bible at Psalms 83:18 shows God's name and at John 20:17 it shows that Jesus has the same God and Father as mankind.

Good question! That shows what happens when someone stops reciting what they were told and asks a simple question.
It must be asked as most "Christians" abandoned Bible teachings long ago. Keeping the name only, they "teach commands of men as doctrine." (Matt. 15:9) That was Jesus talking and said before this it was "in vain they keep worshiping me" because of this.
Jesus simple statement "My Father is greater than I am." (John 14:28) is ignored as are the other scriptures both Jesus and his apostles spoke on similar lines. Instead, todays "Christians" hold to a pagan teaching found nowhere in the Bible. Most have been taught this all their lives and would foam at the mouth like a rabid dog to defend it even though none have actually turned to the Bible and read for themselves what it really says.

Excellent question. The answer is Jesus was worshipping his Father, Jehovah. Never did Jesus say he was God himself, in the flesh or otherwise. He clearly identified himself as the Son and through the gospels you clearly see that there are two individuals involved. The other common sense question to go along with the one you raised is, if Jesus was God in the flesh, who was in heaven to resurrect him from the dead?

Philippians 2:5&6 Jesus gave no concideration that he was equal to god.
John 8:42 God sent Jesus not of his own initiative.
John 14:28 the father is greater than Jesus.
Jesus is not god and he worshiped god.

Jesus was worshiping the Father God who is Spirit and a consuming fire. God is a Trinity which means in 3 persons or 3 entities.
Jesus as God and the Son of God was God in human flesh. Because of the flesh God had to empty Himself so He could feel pain and hunger just as we do. Jesus even got tired because of the flesh.
Jesus had always been with God and the Holy Spirit with great power and He was reduced to the flesh and blood of man. It was a demeaning or shameful state for you, but Christ endured it for our sakes.

Jesus was worshipping God, the 'creator', his 'father'. Be careful how you read words like 'God' and 'Father', these are often wrongly taken in the context of human relationships. Jesus was sent to earth as part of the 'whole entity' we know as 'God', and was send to show us mere humans how we should live our lives and how we should worship God the 'creator'. So Jesus was worshiping God, no issues there, showing us how we should all appreciate the God that created the heavens and Earth and everything around us.
Neither Muslim, Christian or Jew should have any issue with God as the creator of the world. We are all unified in the belief of the same God, about time we all stopped trying to make out 'our' God is better than your God..... it's the SAME GOD...!!!

Quite simple . Jesus is not now , or was he ever , God ! They are two entirely separate entities , as they ALWAYS were .
The idea of them being one and the same , along with the Holy Spirit , comes from the Catholic religion , and was based on wrongly interpreted sections of the Bible by one of the earliest popes .
This "all-in-one" was referred to as the "Trinity" , which is completely false . No Catholic priest , or any one else can give you an intelligent explanation of what the so-called "Trinity" is and how it works . It`s a ludicrous , laughable , fairy tale which has no basis in fact .
Nowhere in the Bible is a "Trinity" mentioned .
If God and Jesus were in fact the same entity ............ how was Jesus resurrected by God after he died ?

He isn't God He is an empowered jiva soul also known as a shaktyavesha avatar. Which means an empowered representative of God. The Pure son of God. We are also sons and daughters of God but we are not in full realization of our eternal relationship with God as Jesus was. Jesus was worshiping Krishna, also known as Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama etc. One God with innumerable names. When Jesus was praying he was praying to God not to himself. And when he spoke of God he was speaking of the Supreme God not about himself. He said "My father in heaven is greater than I." The Christians have mess up his whole teachings by speculating on these very simple truths. We should worship the Pure representative as the ambassador of God. And give him the same respect and glory of God because he is Giving us God. But never considering him God himself. For the original new testament before King Constantine misconstrued, added and deleted so many things from the bible. google gospelofthenazirenes.com Jesus originally taught karma, reincarnation, vegetarianism and no one goes to hell eternally. Following the original teachings of Jesus will set us free. I am so happy I found the facts.

First thing is that Jesus never told that He is God. he always mentioned that He was the son of God and He always referred a person, a God. If He was God Himself He woould not tld abot God present in the heaven repeatitively.
I have gone through various literatures and has found out something really amazing. Christ word emerges from the Greek word christos which in fact emerges from the sanskrit word Krishna. That means Jesus Christ worshipped Krishna as He was Krishna's representative.
I have also found in some scriptures that Jesus Christ was the spiritual master of the living entities and not the God. He representated the teacher quality of Krishna and preached religion according to time, place and circumstance. He also mentioned to His followers that I have lot more things to say but you are not in the condition to listen to them. There is a place in Kashmir where Jesus Christ is said to have left His body finally. After He rose He travelled towards a spot called Vrindavana which is in India now to meet Sanatana Goswami and get instructions on devotional service deeply.
This was His mission as mentioned in various scriptures.
