I used to get mixed answers. I'm confused as F^ck. So I'm asking all the Christian people, and I'm asking people who knows the answer from the bible or something. I'm not a Christian, but I'm open minded and curious on the whole situation.
Also wanted to ask..was Satan really God's brother? and if so did God send Satan to Hell because he was a liar or something? if so...then isn't God evil? who sends their own family remember and own flesh and blood to hell because of lies or mistakes?
Yea I know so many questions. I learned partially a little bit about the Christian faith when I was in high school, and it was all confusing because it wasn't thoroughly explained. That's why I'm seeking answers from REAL Christians, not half a$$ed bogus History books or teachers who don't practice the faith.
Thanks

I've read all the answers...now I'm confused! Someone missed my question and said.."jesus is not god" when I never asked that. Then half of you are saying he's the messenger, some are saying he's the song..then some are saying he's both...is there a preacher or someone with actually facts? all your bible sections seem to all be differnt answers. Come on people.

Both.
At John 1:1, Jesus is referred to as the Word or spokesman. Jesus is God's chief messenger.
John 8:26: "I have many things to speak concerning you and to pass judgment upon. As a matter of fact, he that sent me is true, and the very things I heard from him I am speaking in the world."
John 7:16, 17: “What I teach is not mine, but belongs to him that sent me. If anyone desires to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching whether it is from God or I speak of my own originality."
Jesus is also God's Son. John 3:17 says: "For God sent forth his Son into the world, not for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him."
At John 10:36, Jesus told his enemies: "I am God's Son."
Luke 1:34, 35: "But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am having no intercourse with a man?” In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. For that reason also what is born will be called holy, God’s Son."
John 20:31: "“These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, [not God, but] the Son of God.”

the answer to it is the trinity. i don't sense qualified to describe as i don't think of I even have thoroughly gotten my strategies wrapped around this one. in spite of the shown fact that the basics are the trinity is 3 areas of an finished. God the Son, God the daddy and God the Holy Spirit. A simplistic occasion is an apple. The middle, the flesh, and the floor all make up an apple yet are distinctive of their own way. i think Jesus is the son component of the trinity. for people who declare Jesus became right into a guy and ate and achieved human applications: you have a mom and a father and additionally you have features of the two one in all them. to procure your eyes out of your mom and your vast feet out of your dad. Likewise Jesus is the son of guy (Matt 17:9) and the son of God(Matt 17:5,John a million:34). by using fact the son of guy he had features of guy, he died, he ate, he cried, he felt discomfort. by using fact the son of God he had features of God, he's eternal, he has capability over demise, he's appropriate. it is what i think based on the Bible.

Sri Jesus was a representative of the Lord. He was a teacher (guru) and a yogi. Yes, he was the son of the Lord, but so are we all children of the Lord. There is evidence Jesus was in India for many years, and hence, Jesus did have yogic powers. Sri Jesus was a perfect example of devotion to the Lord. There are other representatives of the Lord who have walked the planet, and there are representatives of the Lord who now walk it. It is true, that one of the ways to enter the Lord's abode is to accept a guru or teacher and be reborn or initiated. So the words of Jesus that "only through me do you reach the Father" is true, but Jesus is not the only way. The Lord has sent many "teachers/gurus."
Keep in mind that yogis have great powers. They can create smells, move objects, heal the sick, and even raise the dead. They can go to the moon and tell you what it looks like without even spending a penny, while countries spend millions to see the moon. Everything on the planet is the Lord's, even these powers that are material are the Lord's energies.
Please visit the site below, and this will explain about the living entity and will also explain Satan and demonic souls. You are right that we are part and parcel of the Lord, but the Lord gives us "free will" to make our own decision. If you want to go to one of the hellish planets, the Lord will let you. The Lord gives you what your heart desires - you cannot hide what is in your heart from the Lord.
Unfortunately, the catholic church has hidden certain aspects of Christianity - like reincarnation. Reincarnation explains many unanswered questions. I know as I was born catholic and practiced for many years, but I know in my heart that there is reincarnation, as I have had glimpses of past lives. the catholic church has also very cleverly degraded Mary Magdaline, who is perfect example of devotion to the Lord.
The key to salvation is devotion to the Lord - or bhakti yoga.

Yeah I know what you mean, there is so much confusion these days especially among the youth and this is due to too so much garbage spouted as authentic truth.
The secular media is very guilty in this as are the so called Atheist intellectuals of today, there are so many voices rambling on and on that it is like trying to see through a dense fog.
Jesus is the real deal, He is who He said He is and one day all of us will come face to face with Him, satan was created and so cannot be Christs brother, the creature cannot be on a par with the Creator, this is the reason that satan rebelled he wanted to be the same as God and don`t we see this same thing among humanity today.

Jesus was God Himself (not all of Him, just enough to save humanity) that came to this world through the virgin birth so that He could humbly live among us and become the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
Mankind chose to live in disobedience to God and therefore also chose the consequences. However, God has always provided a way to salvation, to bring us back to Him.
In this Dispensation, it is believing who He is, Repenting, Baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ to get rid of our sins, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues to overcome the temptations that will come along.
This is how we can have the relationship with the Creator that we had in the beginning, before sin took it away.
Lucifer was one of the Archangels before he became prideful and was cast out of heaven. Lucifer (satan) was never in hell and likes to dwell in high places pretending to be god. He is mad at God and can't hurt the Creator, so to get even, satan goes after what God loves the most and that is us.
Hell was created for some of the fallen angels and was never intended for mankind, but since sin can never enter into heaven, we have to go somewhere. Unless we are redeemed by His plan as described above.

Very few Christians will be able to answer this question because very few Christians have ever read the Gospels.
Jesus called Himself 'the Son of Man' and he called all men his brothers. Jesus said that we are all children of the Most High, that we are 'all gods', and that if we had the same faith in God that he had, we could all perform the same miracles that he did, including raising the dead
so I think we are all children of God, and that Jesus was our brother, our ultimate Big Brother, who brought the idea of God the loving father to humankind

Jesus is the son of God. Read John 3:16 it will tell you God gave us his son. Satan was Gods angel but Satan wanted to be God, so God had to throw him out of heaven. He is not in hell yet when Jesus comes back for us to go to heaven then Satan will be in hell with all the ones who don't believe in God.

Jesus is The Son of God and Satan is NOT Gods brother.

Satan was a fallen Angel and was banished from Heaven by God.
As the story was told that Satan (Lucifer) was one of Gods most powerful and trusted angels and was banished by God because he thought he was God and God through a legion of other Angels including Michael the ArkAngel Banished Lucifer to Hell.
Here is a link that offers some interesting insight into your question.

Jesus is God's one and only Son. Satan is a created, fallen angel. Satan fell into the sin of pride and took 1/3 of the angels in heaven with him in his sin.
