Who accepts that Jesus is God?

Question

For many years I was anti-church and anti-Christian. I believed in God but I couldn't accept Jesus as God. Then a couple years ago I was filled with the Holy Spirit and felt Jesus' love. I was overwhelmed with peace. I decided to give my life to Jesus from that day and God has filled my life with many wonders.

My faith is based on the fact that I feel Jesus with me and I am strengthend by the word of God, church and prayer. Who has faith in Jesus even though they haven't felt Him yet?

I can ask any question I like Canute as you can answer it how you wish and no I'm not a missionary.

I'm British born and bred Gracie. I'm not sure how coming from the U.S would make a difference.

Answer 1

The three in one - Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

I used to call myself an atheist until God changed my life and I will forever worship Him and try to do good by Him

Answer 2

I became a Christian when I was four - and then because I knew God would always be there for me, Jesus didn't really come into the equation, though I always knew he was God's son. Now I have had many personal encounters with God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost and what i presume are angels!

Answer 3

Jesus is God also we can see in the bible that God send his Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary so that she can become pregnant also the bible said he never sinned for more info look here also know that The father,son and the Holy spirit are one GOD .

Is Jesus God?

Why has the name "Jesus Christ" caused more division, agitation and controversy than any other name in history?

Come on, why...?

If I bring up God in a coffee shop discussion, nobody is really offended. If I speak about Buddha or Brahman, Moses or Mohammed, I really don't irritate the listener. However, the name Jesus Christ seems to cut right to the soul. It did for me! When people brought up the other religious and philosophical leaders of history, I usually participated in some sort of intellectual discussion. When people tried to discuss Jesus with me, I felt that my space had been violated! What right did this person have to challenge me and my worldview? I've found that something makes Jesus more contentious and convicting than all the other religious leaders combined.

Really, what is it...?

Unlike any other widely followed religious leader in history, Jesus Christ made a unique claim. He declared himself God. Not a god, not god-like, but God incarnate -- the creator of the universe in human flesh. Intellectually, that's very disturbing. Spiritually, that's a direct attack on everything comfortable and coexisting in my safe little world. However, "is Jesus God"?

For me, I retreated to the typical responses to the life and claims of Jesus. Depending on the stage of my life, they sounded something like this:

"Jesus was a great man."

"Jesus was a nice moral model."

"Jesus was an esteemed teacher."

"Jesus was a religious prophet."
However, as Christian scholar Josh McDowell declares in his foundational book, More than a Carpenter, these types of statements raise a compelling "trilemma." Once you examine the actual claims of Jesus and his eyewitness followers, there are only three alternatives for who he really is - Jesus Christ was either a liar, a lunatic, or our Lord.

The issue with these three alternatives is not which is possible, for it is obvious that all three are possible. But rather, the question is 'which is more probable?' Who you decide Jesus Christ is must not be an idle intellectual exercise. You cannot put Him on the shelf as a great moral teacher. That is not a valid option. He is either a liar, a lunatic, or Lord and God. You must make a choice. 'But,' as the Apostle John wrote, 'these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and' - more important - 'that believing you might have life in His name' (John 20:31). 1

When looking at the question, "Is Jesus God?", C.S. Lewis, a popular British theologian, stressed:

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. 2

Answer 4

To be exact - Jesus is the Son of God, but at the same time a part of the Holy Trinity, - the God himself. ...So of coarse I accept this truth, and, by the way, my faith is based not on self-persuasion (as many atheists think) but on a true knowledge and utter feeling of His presence in my life. It cannot be explained or retold to somebody else...the person just have to experience it and there will be no more doubts.

Answer 5

I don't mean to sound like I'm slandering any religion but here is what I say:

I love Jesus a lot and I'm willing to testify that everything he said is true eventhough I have never heard his voice. He is one of our beloved prophet who was sent to teach the Israelis and guided them to the light of God. He is Al-Masih (The Messiah). Eventhough we looked at him differently, I am glad that many citizen of this world love him as well. We should follow his teaching if we truly believe in him.

As a Muslim, I don't believe that he is crucified but he is saved by the power of God. He'll come down to this earth to correct all wrong in the future as promised by God.

Jesus (AS), wherever you are up there, peace be with you.

Answer 7

Who has faith in Jesus even though they haven't felt Him yet?

Will I don't fit THAT catagory, but I certainly know my Lord and Savior. I sulate your for your courage, I give you a star, but you want get many postivie answers here. We are told that the god of this world has blinded them in thier own wisdom.

Answer 8

To me, Jesus was a human being, not unlike you or me, and it was other human beings whom -later- believed him to be something more....... God.

However, also in my opinion... God, as a singular physical being, is a major contradiction... a paradox. Oh wait, maybe that IS what we All are! (Hmmmm, am I onto something here?) *wink*

Maybe this is why Jesus made a comment to this effect....
"I am in the Father. The Father is in Me. You are in Me. I am in You. You are in the Father. The Father is in you.”

Seems we're -ALL- no more OR less than that of what & who Jesus was. =)

Answer 9

Christians believe that Jesus is God made man, not simply son of God. I believe that Jesus is part of the Trinity.
I have rarely read such rude, crass, comments from contributors - can no-one put across a point without being offensive?

Answer 10

I have faith in Jesus, however I have felt the Spirit on many occasions- so sorry, not really an answer you were looking for!
