Why do you think true Christians want to make sure that all the?

Question

believers in one true God also accpts Jesus as their Lord and Savior God who is the Father God??

Why cannot Jesus be " a god" in true Christiantiy?

Ranto: True Christians believe in Trinity. Not any particular denomination. I am non-denominational myself.

Line Dancer: Your organization tells you that real Christians do not believe in Trinity, and they are false teachers.

Did Jesus ever ask His followers to call Him Jehovah?

Ms. President: And what makes me a fake Christian?

Vot Arnx

So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, THREE men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, and said, “MY LORD, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. Gen. 18:2-3

And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Ex. 3:14

Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Jn. 8:58

In the beginning was the Word(JESUS), and the Word(JESUS) was with God, and the Word(JESUS) was God. Jn. 1:1

And the Word(JESUS) became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Jn. 1:14

I and My Father are one. Jn. 10:30

For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word(JESUS), and the Holy Spirit; and these THREE are ONE. 1 Jn. 5:7

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory. 1 Tim. 3:16

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Phil. 2:5-8

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Col. 2:9

Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I AM He(GOD IN FLESH), you will die in your sins.” Jn. 8:24

Jesus isn't a created angel.

For to which of the angels did He ever say:
“ You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
And again:
“ I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”? Heb. 1:5

Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. Matt. 22:29

Professing to be wise, they became fools. Rom. 1:22

Answer 2

All the attributes of God the Father and God the Holy Spirit is perfectly attributed also to Jesus Christ God the Son. The main essences are: Omniscience, Omnipresence, Omnipotent, Eternal life, Veracity, Perfect Justice and Righteousness, Immutability, Love, and Sovereignty. Read honestly the Holy Bible because the only right interpreter of the Bible is the Bible itself. Thats why for the Christians, the HolyBible is the only final authority in faith and in practice. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Answer 3

Because it is the requirement laid down in the Bible for salvation. Jesus is not "a god." He is The Word, the Alpha and the Omega, the Name Above All Names. The Bible tells us several times that we must be baptised in the name of the Father, AND the Son AND the Holy Ghost to be saved. Jesus Himself says this in Matt 28, when he tells the disciples in the Great Commission to do exactly that.

Good enough for me.

If you don't want to accept Jesus, you don't have to. But if you don't, be prepared to accept the consequences.

Answer 4

If Jesus is Jehovah, or the Father or God- then why did he keep on calling himself the SON of God? Always saying that he was lesser than God, that the Father was HIS God and never the other way round?

OK, some say he was human , so God was his God then. But how come in Acts and Revelation, when Jesus is already back in heaven, it still does not say that he is GOD?

Rev. 19:13- and he is arrayed with an outer garment sprinkled with blood, and the name he is called is The Word of God.

Rev. 3:14- “And to the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ce′a write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God

Acts 7:56- and he (Stephen) said: “Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand

Rev 1:1-6 "A revelation by JESUS CHRIST, which GOD GAVE HIM, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John, who bore witness to the word GOD gave and to the witness JESUS CHRIST gave, even to all the things he saw. ...... May you have undeserved kindness and peace from “THE ONE WHO IS and who was and who is coming,” and from the seven spirits that are before HIS throne, AND FROM JESUS CHRIST, “the Faithful Witness,” “The firstborn from the dead,” and “The Ruler of the kings of the earth.”

To him that loves us and that loosed us from our sins by means of his own blood— and he made us to be a kingdom, priests to HIS GOD and FATHER—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever. Amen."

Even a child can tell that Jesus and God are seperate beings. No one can come to the conclusion that they are a trinity by reading the Bible alone, some misled person has to teach them that first.

I'm still waiting for that 1x1x1=1 verse, by the way, Nina.

Answer 5

There is one God: Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5.

No other “religious founder” was God become man (John 1:1,14) – the only way an infinite debt could be paid. Jesus had to be God so that He could pay our debt. Jesus had to be man so He could die. Salvation is available only through faith in Jesus Christ! “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Answer 6

No.

Most reference works plainly acknowledge that none of the apostle believed Jesus to be Almighty God. Would the questioner argue that the twelve apostles were not "true Christians"?

"[The Trinity] is a corruption borrowed from the heathen religions, and ingrafted on the Christian faith.”
[unquote]

New Catholic Encyclopedia
[quote]
“The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”

The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge

Answer 7

Jesus said, "No man comes unto the Father unless he comes through me." We are just passing along the good news. By the way---Jesus is not "a god" He is THE GOD!!!!

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.

Answer 8

well from the christian stand point god is 100% divine and jesus is 100% human and divine... god made himself human... but to give you a possible answers because most christians not all MOST are narrow minded hypocrits who think they are right and everyone one else is wrong even the people sitting next to them in mass...they go to mass put on thier mask of love joy and compasion then come home cheat on thier wives beat thier kids hate their nighbors you know... but then there are those who are not like that who have open minds and relize that jesus is not worse nor better than other relgions that are around...

Answer 9

By "True Christians" do you mean Catholics? Or do you mean followers of one of those man-made Christian religions (e.g., protestants).

As for the rest of your question . . . Huh? Don't all Christians think that Jesus is God?

Mormons, who call themselves Christians, would call Jesus "a God." They believe that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are separate beings. Are they your True Christians?

Answer 10

If Jesus was only "a god" then he would be a created being, like all other human beings, and then all other human beings would be right in saying that they are "gods."

Being the beginning of the creation of God does not make Jesus a created being, it makes him the starting point of the creation, from which creation sprang forth.
