Christians you might want To Have a Look At This Intriguing Point!?

Question

Jesus was the son of God.

Or in other words; He was God in the form of a man named Jesus.

Jesus therefore was God preaching on earth as a human.

Jesus is God therefore He wouldn't doubt himself nor would He need to have faith in heaven and God since Jesus himself is God and created heaven.

For those of you that claim Jesus is not God but His son; still Jesus needed no faith since He was sure of God's existence as He knew He was God's son through His powers.

Before Jesus was crucified He cried out "Father, why have you forsaken me?!"

Despite having faith in the end the fact is that Jesus actually showed doubt and anxiousness about God.

Jesus actually doubted His own faith, even if it was just for a moment.

How is that possible?

Would you yourself doubt your own existence as you know you are there? Ofcourse not.

This absurd incidence points to bad story making of the author which fails to keep the context consistent.

If you disagree then enlighten me.

Keep in mind that God can't doubt Himself, but He did.

That is the key point.

Please justify that point.

I already know He believed in the end so don't give me that.

He doubt Himself for a moment. That is more than enough to not make sense.

Answer 1

I have two answers for your question..
Jesus was not God, neither son of God.
The person who got crucified was not Jesus but somebody else.

As a Muslim I believe both of the answes are correct, for any sane person they have to atleast accept one answer.

Answer 2

You make several fallacious statements. But, I'll only address a few points.

Yes, Jesus experienced what we would call doubt, but not at the time you state and not to the point of losing faith. (Job, too, experienced doubt but, again, not to the point of losing faith.) Doubt is not sin unless it leads to a loss of faith. God is not afraid of us questioning Him. Doubt is when you question God. At that point, He has an opportunity to strengthen you.

"And the Word was made flesh..." John 1:14

Did Jesus not experience everything we do and suffer our infirmities? (Hebrews 4:15) Though Jesus is the Son of God; as a human, He only knew that fact through (1) being taught what He was from the Bible itself (by His mother, Mary), (2) His faith in the Word and in God, and (3) His experiences in His walk with the Father. We have access to all three of those things ourselves.

Also note that His miracles were not as a result of any power of His own. He had no power of His own. It was the Father working through Him (John 5:19,20; 8:28; 14:10). This is the same as when God works through those who are following Him.

Lastly... Jesus' cry on the cross was not a statement of doubt. It was a statement of fact. The Father actually did withdraw completely from Jesus and left Jesus totally without a connection to the Father through the Holy Spirit. The reason for this is that Jesus had to die the Second Death in order to pay the price for sin. The first death is not a permanent death. The first death is merely a sleep awaiting the Judgment (see reference below).

Also, sin separates you and me from God. When the sins of the world were laid upon Jesus, that sin also separated the Son from the Father. Jesus actually began to die on Thursday night because of the burden of that sin and the resulting separation from His Father (Matthew 26:37,38; Luke 22:44). In fact, if an Angel had not appeared to strengthen Him (Luke 22:43), He would have died of a burst heart that very night -- instead of the next afternoon.

Answer 3

As Jesus told the Saducees "you know not the scriptures" Read Phill. 15:11,,Eph 1:3 with vs 20,,1 Cor 10:1-6 and ALL of acts 2 ! ! read and let what is written 'enlighten' you. You said a lot but you got a ways t' go.

Answer 4

that is large to be curious and ask that form of a query, yet Christians have faith that the tingling and goose bumps and sturdy emotions are God's presence and God's presence in easy terms. that is diverse for them. you may get shivers and butterflies from a guy or lady you like, even nonetheless that is not a similar. So Christians does not have the flexibility to experience that unique feeling from something else. i'm Christian yet i'm now not imposing my ideals on you, i'm basically telling the fact from a Christian's viewpoint. No stressful emotions. :)

Answer 5

If you look at the text carefully you will see that Jesus did not doubt the existance of the Father. He was asking why the Father had forsaken him. And he was undeniably forsaken...beaten, scourged, with his flesh hanging in strips, mocked, spit upon, thorns wrapped around his head, nails through the nerve bundles in both his wrists and ankles, and slowly suffocating as his diaphragm muscles lost the ability to expel air from his from his lungs. Are you seriously criticizing the fact that he cried out in despair? He is both man and God, which means he has human emotions like us, he suffered like us, and he cried out like us.

Answer 6

"Why have you forsaken Me?" does not mean that Jesus doubted his own faith or his own existence.

It proves that he did believe, because if he didn't, there wouldn't have been a reason to cry out.

This was the moment when God the Father could not look upon Jesus because of the sin of the world ALL present upon Jesus.

Answer 7

JOHN 1: 1---in the beginning was the word, and the word was with GOD, and the word was GOD. what are you saying, that JESUS doubted his own FAITH! Sounds more like you want to make an excuse---sounds like you are the one in denial! bottom line you either believe or you don't!

Answer 8

Jesus had no sin.

Doubt is sin.

Jesus was fulfilling the prophecy that David uttered. Far beyond doubting himself he was affirming who he is.

If you haven't learned what prophecy is then you need to, unless you don't want to learn it because the knowledge carries responsibility with it.

Answer 9

This just reads like so much more Psycho-babble from still another Christian-Basher.

Why not use any talents you might have to do something constructive?

Answer 10

Jesus was actually quoting Pslams when he said that, Or the gospel writers were. If you notice Jesus says 3 different things in each gospel so it seems more likely to me that it was never said at all.

Answer 11

The relationship between the Father and Son is mysterious in nature.....it is not as though they are one and the same, yet there is a oneness between them. One God, three persons in the Godhead.
