Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Matthew 3:17), is the one and only Savior given by God (Acts 13:23). Christ is the sole mediator between God and men (I Timothy 2:5) and the only way to God (John 14:6).
But we do not subscribe to the belief that Christ is God-Man. He is man in nature according to His own testimony (John 8:40) and the teachings of His Apostles (I Timothy 2:5; Matthew 1:18).
The attributes of a human being were found in Christ. He hungered (Matthew 4:2), thirsted (John 19:28), became weary or tired (John 4:6), slept (Matthew 8:24), and died (Matthew 27:50; I Corinthians 15:3). However, Christ as distinct from all men, is the only one who did not sin (I Peter 2:21-22; Hebrews 4:15).
He has been exalted by God and given a name above all other names, that at the name of Christ every knee should bow, those in heaven, and those on earth (Philippians 2:9-11). He has been placed by God far above all principality, power, might and dominion, and every name that is named, and all things have been put under His feet (Ephesians 1:21-22). Christ will eventually subject all His power and authority to the true God (I Corinthians 15:27-28). He had in so many instances introduced Himself as the Son of God but never did He appropriate the title “God?nor “God the Son?for Himself because He is not God but man.
Instead, We believe that the one and only true God is the Father, the Creator. We hold this belief because it is the doctrine taught by our Lord Jesus Christ and His Apostles (John 17:3, 1: I Corinthians 8:6). God is a Spirit (John 4:24), and, therefore, He has no flesh and bones (Luke 24:39).
There is no trinity of persons in God. Though the Bible speaks of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, never does it refer to all of them as gods nor as three persons in one God; rather, it points to the Father alone as the true God. The Son Himself emphasized that only the Father is the true God (John 17:3, 1) and that He himself is a man telling the truth which He received from God (John 8:40). The prophets also teach that we have only one Father who created us (Malachi 2:10); Isaiah 64:4, 8). He alone is God, there is no other God and no one is like Him (Isaiah 46:9)
God is from everlasting to everlasting, with no beginning or end (Psalms 90:2), immortal (I Timothy 1:17), and does not tire or become weary (Isaiah 40:28).
He alone is the creator of heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things therein, and the seas and all that is in them (Nehemiah 9:6)

Well most of you get it wrong about God.
I`ll tell you how it is all.it is only a thing of understanding.
How we got a conscience inside ourselves in the same way God the Father ,the holy spirit,was in Jesus and today God has poured out his spirit upon men and women as he had proclaimed through prophet Joel.
2 Joel :
The LORD Will Pour Out His Spirit
28[d](BP) "And it shall come to pass afterward,
that(BQ) I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;
(BR) your sons and(BS) your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.
29(BT) Even on the male and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit.
so i say to you accept Jesus as your savior today, and you will know what really life is.
The Good news:
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son,so that whosoever might believe in him might not perish,but have eternal life."
Peace Be With you.

I'm getting so sick of people posting things like this. It's ridiculous! People just need to grow up and respect each others beliefs. At least the people who are Christians have something to live for, being an Atheist is something I've never understood. And you know what? These are all just titles! It DOESN'T MATTER! Just stop taunting people, this isn't the 5th grade!!

First of all, HE DID. He walked the earth as Jesus. And after the Ressurection, he brought the Holy Spirit down to BELIEVERS.
Secondly, I suppose you have never read the story of Moses and the burning bush. No person or being can ever look directly at God the Father. We would perish. That is one reason why Jesus is who He is. So that we may see God.
And why would God, the One who spoke all Creation into being, jump at YOUR command to reveal Himself when you clearly have no faith in Him to begin with?

Hebrews 11:1 (New International Version)
1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
We believe by faith.
Romans 5:1-3 (New International Version)
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

Can you see electricity? If you touch a live wire you feel what electricity is. Gos is a Spirit. You can not fathom the almighty God in a puny human mind.

Many people beleive that the Father, Son, and holy spirit are one. When Jesus was on Earth, He spent an entire night praying. WHo was he praying too? Was he praying to himself? He was obviously praying to someone. Read John 17:1-3 you will see that in another occasion he was looking towards the sky.

God is a He not an it. He has shown himself to many. Knock and the door shall be opened, seek and ye shall find. He doesnt show up to mocking and scorning but 'you shall seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart'.
Faith is the evidence of things unseen. Faith is needed for character development-as we can see from the character of the faithless.
