Why do chreistians beleive that Jesus is God/son of god?

Question

I want to know the answer to this question because it really interests me in so many ways. I also want to know where this came from.

Answer 1

Yes. Christians believe that God the Son became human and was then called Jesus. That is called the incarnation. As a human, Jesus was 100% man and also 100% God; His humanity and his deity were so intermingled that you could never separate the two. Then we he died and resurrected, He made it possible for all humans to do the same thing, if they chose to.

Answer 2

The problem is that there are so many scriptures quoted out of context. So many long winded and confusing with out biblical support. This really should be easily explained in the bible and it should be clear. Since God cannot lie and the only way we can know God is through the Bible.

Here are 8 Scriptures that cannot be explained by any trinitarian...even though there is over 370 in the new testament alone that directly contradict that doctorine.

Jesus was easy to understand, his message was simple and to the point and that is why people loved him...Ok now for the 8 verses...

#1 Matthew 7:15-23: (I'll paraphrase here so you can look it up in your own bible) Jesus was talking about when he returns who will be saved and who won't...he specifically said who ever is doing the will of his Father in the heavens and the people who are doing great works in his Name he would cast off. Now if he was God then if they were doing these great things in his name they would have been doing it in his father at the same time. Right there he could have made it clear that he was the almighty but he didn't. He even went as far as to say if you do it in my name that is a no-no. Further still if they DID things in HIS name that would not be acceptable. Strange how if he was God doing it in God's name would not be good enough...unless of course he wasn't God.

#2 Matt 20:23 Jesus cannot choose who will be at his right hand or left when he gets to heaven. But only his Father can choose. Now why can't Jesus choose? Is he less then God?...
This goes back to the God cannot Lie bit...if he is the almighty then he is lying.

#3 Matt: 24:36 Jesus knows not when he returns. How is this possible if he is God? He was talking abut thousands of years in the Future. Only his Father (God) Knows. Ok this is when he is enthrowned as Lord of Lords (which he is )and King of Kings (which he is) but still he has no knowlege of when this will be. That is like asking someone if He is the president/CEO of a company and you ask him when will these changes occur and he says I need to check with the COO because I don't have that info....what? I thought you were the President and CEO? ...

# 4 1 corinthians 11:3 Paul is explaining to the congregation about the relationship between God and Jesus and he uses the man and the woman and the congregation...even though a man and woman are one in God's eyes the ,man is the head and has more responsibility and Christ is the head of the congregation and God is the head of Christ. Now paul could have easily explained that Jesus is God if he was. Notice too that the Holy spirit isn't even mentioned? But Paul didn't..he said Jesus was inferrior to God. Now why would paul use the relationship of a husband and wife...Members and church? So if Jesus is God the allmighty Paul doesn't know what he is talking about.

# 5 1 corinthian 15:25-28: After the thousnad years Jesus then subjects himself back to God. Now how is this possible if Jesus is God? Let me get this straight...I have everyone sublected to me except God...then when I'm done I turn it over back to God and subject myself to who?...myself?

#6 John 20:17..Jesus tells his mother who is clinging to him before he goes to heaven...go and tell my brothers I go to my God and Yuor God my Father and Yuor Father...now this makes no sense at all if Jesus is God? He puts himself on the same level as his brothers...Now c'mon...is Jesus God or Not? How can you have a God just like everyone else if you are the God

# 7 Revelation 1:1..God gave Jesus the revelation to give John...is that right? God gave it to Jesus? How come Jesus didn't have it? Doesn't God know everything? why did Jesus need to get it from God?..If some says to show the relationship for our benefit...where does it say that in the bible....remember...either the Bible clearly proves it...or it clearly disproves it...can't be both or that would make God a liar.

# 8 Revelation 3:12...Jesus mentions he has a God 4 times here. You saw the other explination by somebody but what is yuor own bible saying? After Revelation 1:1 do you really think Jesus doesn't have a God?

The trinity didn't come around until hundreds of years had passed and at 2 Thess 1 &2 Paul warned there would be a Great Apostacy...Oh and almost every single faith in Christendom accepts the trinity...very few don't...

Research it on your own...look who was at the Council on Nicea in 325...look who insisted this be the new doctorine and why...Look into how the bible on the king ja,es version was actually changed to try to prove it...Comma Johanneum


Remeber God isn't complicated.

There are 350 more in the new testament alone.

Look into this yourself and go on Bible gateway or bible.com and see what different bibles say...don't believe me either just because I say it...research it yourself and see what the bible really teaches...I wish you the best

Answer 3

There are Christians and there are those who think they are.
Christians believe in Jesus Christ as God because He is, Matthew 28:19 Matthew tells to baptise in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost; Acts 2:38; the Apostles baptised in the name Jesus Christ,Period
Jesus Christ is the NAME of the Father Son and the Holy Ghost, not three persons, BUT One God, Spirit, in the person of His Son..confused??
Where does that leave all those baptised in the titles Father ,Son and Holy Ghost?
Did they obey Jesus? or man?

Answer 4

I'm not going to get into any dogma of the Christian faith. But I would like to share this with you.

Was Jesus man-god, great seer, or myth? The answer is that Jesus was an avatara.
Avatara is a Sanskrit word. It means the descent of a divine being, not into human flesh, but as it were towards incarnation in human flesh. It means the overshadowing, or more correctly speaking the over-illuminating, of some great and noble man by a divinity, by a god. So that, to use ordinary language, an avatara is an incarnate god because the noble human so chosen expresses through himself some more or less large part of the Over-illuminator.
Jesus was an avatara, a manifestation through the form of a human being, of a god, of a divinity -- one of the spiritual beings controlling our part of the stellar universe.
An avatara is one who has a combination of three elements in his being: an inspiring divinity; a highly evolved intermediate nature or soul, the channel of that inspiring divinity; and a very pure, clean, physical body. An avatara is a partial manifestation of a divinity in a human being, and is not the manifestation of a man's own inner god; for when this latter happens, then we have among us a Buddha. This is a technical term meaning an "awakened one," one who manifests the divinity which is the very core of the core of his own being. But an avatara is one who is not the reincarnation of a reincarnating ego, and therefore not a unitary being as ordinary humans are, but is one who appears as a great glory among men, and who does an especial work on earth. An avatara as a unit never has a prior birth, nor a succeeding reincarnation.
The Avatara Jesus, for instance, will never have a birth on earth again, in other words will never reincarnate; for such is an avatara: a divinity manifesting through the psychological apparatus of one of the Masters of Wisdom and Compassion and Peace who gives himself for that purpose, in order that the sublime powers of divinity thus manifesting may show themselves among men and teach them.

Answer 5

Try reading the New Testament. Start with the Book of John. Ask God to open your heart to the truth as you read.

Then read "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis.

Finally read Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ."

By the time you finish this reading assignment if you are sincere and humble and open, you will know the true identity of Jesus Christ.

And this truth will set you free.

Answer 6

Read the Bible pages thru pages let us see if you can read that Jesus claims that he is GOD, even Jesus is begging forgiveness to GOD (real GOD), Its all started in the book of John in New Testament, where he narrated in words, I (Jesus) and God is one, (in continues verse at same book) same in work and deeds to save the world from evilness, in that text they are one as a team not as personafication, one as team to fight evilness of a man and save them from burning flame of hell. If you continue reading you can read that even Jesus claims that he is a man, as follows, NOW YOU REALLY TRYING TO KILL ME, THE ONE WHO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, THE ONE OF TELL YOU, YOUR WECKEDNESS, THE ONE WHO IS A MAN. A MAN THAT IS JESUS CHRIST, read even from genisis up to apocalypsis, try to find a single word that tells about trinity or the oneness of Jesus and GOD then I will convert to be a Christian, the word Trinity is started during the time of Constantine that is 340 AD. (its 300 years ago since the last apostle died) Where they make Jesus as God, The whole story is been publish and make a proof they burn at stake millions of Christian that oppose on the word TRINITY. Just to make the LIE a TRUTH, Where is Justice, Where is the so called Chistianity on that matter. Now the word Jesus is God is Biblically Wrong, even the Bible oppose on it, why they dont burn the Bible also, Speaking the truth may be harmfull to anyone, but it is the truth. THE TRUTH CAN SET YOU FREE FROM FLAMING HELL........

Answer 7

Jesus is never recorded in the Bible as saying the exact words, “I am God.” That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God. Take for example Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” At first glance, this might not seem to be a claim to be God. However, look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement, “We are not stoning you for any of these, replied the Jews, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood Jesus’ statement to be a claim to be God. In the following verses, Jesus never corrects the Jews by saying, “I did not claim to be God.” That indicates Jesus was truly saying He was God by declaring, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30). John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!" Again, in response, the Jews take up stones in an attempt to stone Jesus (John 8:59). Why would the Jews want to stone Jesus if He hadn’t said something they believed to be blasphemous, namely, a claim to be God?


Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

John 1:1-3

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2The same was in the beginning with God.

3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

John 8:58

58Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am

Phillipian 2:5-6

5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:


John 1:1 says that “the Word was God.” John 1:14 says that “the Word became flesh.” This clearly indicates that Jesus is God in the flesh. Acts 20:28 tells us, "...Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood." Who bought the church with His own blood? Jesus Christ. Acts 20:28 declares that God purchased the church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God!

Thomas the disciple declared concerning Jesus, “Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. Titus 2:13 encourages us to wait for the coming of our God and Savior - Jesus Christ (see also 2 Peter 1:1). In Hebrews 1:8, the Father declares of Jesus, "But about the Son He says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom."

In Revelation, an angel instructed the Apostle John to only worship God (Revelation 19:10). Several times in Scripture Jesus receives worship (Matthew 2:11; 14:33; 28:9,17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38). He never rebukes people for worshiping Him. If Jesus were not God, He would have told people to not worship Him, just as the angel in Revelation had. There are many other verses and passages of Scripture that argue for Jesus’ deity.

Answer 8

We believe that Jesus is God because that's what Jesus claims to be in the Bible. You'll find the evidence of His claims more blatant in the Greek language rather than the English language.

Answer 9

Im a christian and i believe Jesus is the son of God.

Answer 10

That is what Jesus told us when he was alive. He told his disciples this and several of them wrote documents to explain who Jesus was and is and what he taught. These documents were collected together and became the New Testament in the Bible. So you can read what people testified about Jesus' life and what he said of himself and others.
