Has God ever died? ‘Of course not,’ might be your correct response. God is immortal.?

Question

The prophet Habakkuk said of Jehovah: “My Holy One, you do not die.” (Habakkuk 1:12) In contrast, Jesus did die.
So HOW can Jesus Be God?

Answer 1

Ironically, the shaky foundations of trinitarianism rest on dubious misapplications of perhaps ten bible verses. By contrast, entire passages and important bible concepts literally require Jesus the Son to be a separate person from God the Father. Who created Jesus? To whom did Jesus pray? Who resurrected Jesus? At whose right hand does Jesus sit?


Jehovah's Witnesses believe that their worship is a restoration of biblical Christianity, as practiced by the apostles and first century Christians. They recognize Christ himself (and the apostles to a much lesser extent) as the "foundation" of true Christian worship. Of course, the bible teaches that God Himself is the "builder".

(Isaiah 28:16) Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Here I am laying as a foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, the precious corner of a sure foundation.

(Acts 4:10-11) Jesus Christ the Nazarene... This is ‘the stone that was treated by you builders as of no account that has become the head of the corner.’

(Revelation 21:14) The wall of the city also had twelve foundation stones, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

(Hebrews 11:10) the city having real foundations, the builder and maker of which city is God.


Really, it is the bible rather than any human tradition, catechism, or post-biblical writing which can reveal the truth about Jesus Christ.

Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians; they teach that Christ was and is divine and of the same nature as God. What does the bible teach about Jesus?

Jehovah's Witnesses understand the bible to teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe!

Jehovah's Witnesses love and respect and honor Christ. However, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.

(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation

(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.

(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God

(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God

(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth

(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak

(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am

(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him

(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father

(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God

(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.

(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah

(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him


Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

Answer 2

God gave him a mortal frame. He was once despatched intentionally through God to evangelise the Way after which die and be resurrected. The resurrection is an overly valuable side of the entire Christian theology. If there was once no resurrection, then not one of the Christian faith is valued at something. If there was once a resurrection essential, then there needed to be a loss of life. Hebrews nine states that is authorized human phrases: sixteen In the case of a will, it's essential to turn out the loss of life of the one that made it, 17 since a will is in drive handiest whilst someone has died; it by no means takes final result whilst the one that made it's residing. 18 This is why even the primary covenant was once no longer placed into final result with out blood. A Will is a Testament.

Answer 3

Yes, God did. God the Father and Jesus the son are separate beings. Who do you think God was referring to when he said "Let US make man in OUR image" (Does not a Son look like his Father?)

John 5
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

Christ died and was resurrected. He said whatever the Father did, he did too. Christ was a God, so was his Father. That is why he had the power of life over death, from his Father, and the ability to die, from his mother.

Answer 4

God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. God was, is, will be everywhere, God was never Created and will never die / be destroyed. God is beyond Life and Death. All religions of world teach human way to get close to God. You give your Best, God will give thy Best. Ask God for help and forgive, God will help and forgive you. Pray; Worship and Thank God for everything. Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow. For Success in Life; Believe in Self and God, Learn from Past, Concentrate in Present, Plan for Future. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Purpose of this Life is to Gain and Share utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Right, Good, God against Wrong, Bad, Devil. Set your Desire level perfect or OK to be brave, no low to be coward, no high to be cruel. You have rights of Survival, Self Defence, and Freedom.

Answer 5

According to a New York Times front page article in t 60s, God has already died.

Answer 6

In Genesis God said Let US make man in Our image. God referred to himself as US. That is a pronoun that refers to two or more persons. In John, it says, In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and was God. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. In Philippians it says, Jesus who was in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God but emptied himself of all reputation and took on the form of a man. According to the flesh, Jesus was born of the seed of David, but according to the Spirit Jesus was declared the Son, and declared powerfully by his resurrection.
God became a man to die for the sins of the world. Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Jesus appeared to his disciples after the resurrection and told them to baptize in the NAME, not names, in the NAME of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. So when God referred to himself as US, he was saying that there were three persons in the one God: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. How can it be that thou dear God didst die for me?

Answer 7

The answer to your question is a simple one. This life is not the life Jesus will live for eternity. This life is nothing but a vapor compared to eternity. He will live forever...our minds do not grasp the meaning of eternity very well.

Answer 8

Jesus was God in a human body when He was here on Earth..When He comes again, He will have the Body that we will have in Heaven. Nothing like our human body that dies. If you remember the Resurrection, Christ had a new body!

Answer 9

"This Jesus...God raised him up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it." (Acts 2:23,24) RSV

It says here that God raised him up. Not the Father, but God. God is phrased as a SEPARATE PERSON from Jesus showing that Jesus is not God.

Answer 10

Jesus is not dead he is at the right hand of the Father
he never did die only his body they killed not his spirit and soul
