Question

this probably sounds a stupid question but i was watching the virgin mary on true movies and didnt understand a thing that was going on. i thought Jesus became into God?

MadeE4...where do you suppose i get a Bible from?

I understand the answer auntb93 but how can you say God loved us all, even when he was just a little baby

^ thats the same question to you aswell Beatchan...

Answer 1

Ok basically; God saw we were just getting our lives into a mess. So He decided to come down in human form, to teach us, to live with us and to guide us. People then were obviously so convicted of their wrong behaviour we just ended up hating Him. So we killed Him and chose to save a murderer over Him. That was always part of God's plan; sin separates us from Him so in the Old Testement, they always made sacrifices to atone for their sins. Now, we no longer need to do that because Christ died so we could have a relationship with God.

Answer 2

According to Christian mythology - Jesus is the 'Son of God'.

We don't get any information in the Christian 'Bible' about where he came from (since he existed before he supposedly came to Earth), and different Christian sects disagree (vehemently) as to exactly how the whole God/Jesus thing works.

In addition to 'God' and 'Jesus', there is also a third entity called the 'Holy Ghost'.

Some religions believe that 'God' is the main deity, while Jesus and the Holy Ghost are lesser deities, but that they sort of make up an office of 'God' between the three of them.

Others believe they are all the same being. Three in one.

At any rate. The Christian myth says that God made 'man' from dust, after having created the heavens and the earth. He put him in a garden, and then took a rib and created a woman.

(as an aside - I have seen a disturbing number of people post on here that this is why men have one less rib than women - this is completely false to anyone willing to take five seconds to look it up).

Anyway - this man and woman were perfect until they were tricked by 'Satan' (the bad guy) ate from the 'tree of the knowledge of good and evil'. Once they did that, they were thrown out of the garden. The myth claims that the woman ate the fruit first (giving rise to yet another idiotic Fundie claim that I have seen repeated on here - claiming that this is why women menstruate).

This 'original sin' of disobeying 'God' and eating the fruit, caused mankind to be inheritently 'sinful'

For a long time mankind supposedly had to appease 'God' -who seems to alternate between a petulant child and a psychopathic murderer throughout the 'old testament', ordering his people to invade villages, kill all of the men, women, and children - but to save the virgin girls for themselves - 'God' had to be appeased through animal sacrifice, (and the occasional human sacrifice).

Sending 'Jesus' to Earth somehow gave those people a way to keep from having to go to hell for their 'sins', and all that you had to do was believe in him. He was supposedly born of a virgin, did some miracles, told people to love each other - and inevitably, was nailed to a tree for it.

After dying, he is said to have come back from the dead three days later, and then ascended into heaven. Where he sits with 'God' and intervenes when 'God' wants to smite someone.

And yes, there are hundreds of thousands (if not millions) who actually believe every single word of this.

Answer 3

In the beginning, Jesus lived with God & the Holy Spirit in Heaven. God caused Jesus to be born by the Virgin Mary without any need for sex. Jesus was always God, he never 'became' God. Try reading John chaper 1 in the Bible where 'the Word' refers to Jesus.

Jesus was born, lived for 30 yrs around Nazereth, became a carpinter (or possibly stone mason), then spent 3 years teaching that none of us is good enough to get to God, but God is merciful so has come down to us.

He was then killed so that by appropriating his sacrifice we can have direct access to God.

To prove he wasn't an ordinary person, he came back from death and was visibly taken up into heaven, from where he will come again.

Answer 4

We all came, initially, from God's essence.

Directly from the breath of God and indirectly from the Earth that God created.

Jesus comes directly from God's essence (seed) and human essence (Mary, who comes from the lineage of God's essence and creation).

This puts Jesus as the bridge between man and God and Jesus was given the gift of eternal life so Jesus is as Gods, as God said man would be if man ate from the tree of life.

Jesus, basically, got to eat from the tree of life and we didn't.

Jesus was sent as the last gift from God to help man become saved and re-born after the disaster in Eden.

Those who believe in Jesus shall have enternal life.

Now is it that simple. Believe in Jesus as real or Believe in Jesus and his ways.

It is literal or figurative.

That's where the theological debates start

Is just believing on God and Jesus enough or does one have to embody the whole process.

And does the process have to be 100%

These are where theological arguments begin

One thinks of what Ghandi said, the problem with Christianity is Christians

Is he right or wrong

Ghandi drives an interesting point

Do you say I beleive in God and Jesus and then go off and do as you please because all is forgiven or must you go off and do as God and Jesus so directed...

This, then leads to the rift between Luther and the Pope.

Between living a life as free of sin as possible vs sinning and getting forgiven for those sins so you can go and sin some more.

Answer 5

Hi, its not such a big brainer.
Jesus is God's son, God send him to earth to lead us all back unto the right way again( some other people started doing their own thing way back when).

You made a good start buy asking, just make sure you ask the right person.
Yo get some looneys out there...
Good luck on your search,

Answer 6

I am a former Christian, so perhaps I can give a more objective story than some.

It is said that Jesus was conceived when an angel visited Mary before she was married, and that she was a virgin when she gave birth to him. In fact, many other religious figures have had similar claims made about them in the past.

When he was born, we are told, three wise men (or perhaps it was some other number of wise men, but bearing three gifts) who read the astrological signs found him and came to declare him divine. Angels also alerted shepherds to his birth, suggesting that plenty of people were aware that he had supernatural origins from the time he was born. Unfortunately, this got to the local authority, Herod, who ordered all male children below one year old killed, as a rather draconian method of killing this upstart who, it was foretold, would be "King of the Jews," and therefore replace Herod or his successors. So Mary and her husband Joseph fled with him to Egypt.

It is not told when they returned, except that when he was 12 they went to the temple in Jerusalem, and he confounded the scholars there with how much he knew.

There is nothing more about him until he was 30, at which time his cousin John the Baptist baptized him and he began his ministery. He called 12 men to be his deciples, most of whom were fisherman or other humble types. They walked around the country (roughly speaking where Israel is today), and he preached a rather confusing message that God loves everyone, that they should love each other, and that he would redeem all their sins.

At the age of 33, he was betrayed by his deciple Judas to the authorities, who crucified him on a Friday. He was taken down, apparently dead, on Friday before sunset, so as not to be on the cross during the Jewish sabbath. He was laid in a tomb and a large stone was rolled before the tomb. On Sunday morning, the tomb was empty.

His followers claimed they saw him alive after that, and that awhile later (I believe it was about 40 days), he was taken to heaven in a cloud. Or perhaps it was on a cloud.

Answer 7

There is a Hymn called " Tell me the story of Jesus"

Tell me the story of Jesus,
Write on my heart every word.
Tell me the story most precious,
Sweetest that ever was heard.
Tell how the angels in chorus,
Sang as they welcomed His birth.
“Glory to God in the highest!
Peace and good tidings to earth.”

Tell me the story of Jesus,
Write on my heart every word.
Tell me the story most precious,
Sweetest that ever was heard.

Fasting alone in the desert,
Tell of the days that are past.
How for our sins He was tempted,
Yet was triumphant at last.
Tell of the years of His labor,
Tell of the sorrow He bore.
He was despised and afflicted,
Homeless, rejected and poor.

Tell of the cross where they nailed Him,
Writhing in anguish and pain.
Tell of the grave where they laid Him,
Tell how He liveth again.
Love in that story so tender,
Clearer than ever I see.
Stay, let me weep while you whisper,
Love paid the ransom for me.


There is never a stupid question and we need to ask to understand.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the central theme of Holy Scripture. We shall consider His deity, His incarnation, His work and His offices.
The Old Testament contains many predictions, or prophecies, concerning Christ. The New Testament tells of His coming as a redeemer. Christ is concealed in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament. The Bible also tells of Jesus' death, burial, resurrection and ascension back to heaven. It concludes by revealing the next events to take place on planet earth.

Jesus said (John 14:6), "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life:, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
John 3:16 & 17 are clear. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

Jesus came to earth to save sinners from eternal death which is the lake of fire, so all who come to Him may have eternal life.

Answer 8

Jesus was God Jehovah's first son.He was the first creation and through him everything else in the universe was created.(Col.1:15,16)
Jesus came to earth from heaven to offer his perfect life as a ransom sacrifice to buy back mankind from enslavement to sin and death.
If we exercise faith in that ransom we have the prospect of living forever on a paradise earth just as Adam and Eve did before they sinned and lost everything.
The Bible teaches that Jesus is the Son of God and not God the Son.The Trinity is not a bible teaching.It is a pagan teaching that was fused in with apostate Christanity in the fourth century CE.
There is much more to say about this subject.Why not consider approaching Jehovahs Witnesses at your local kingdom hall?We offer free home bible studies.This way you can learn what the Bible teaches and not what men teach.

Answer 9

Because man had fallen into sin, God sent a part of Himself in a sense to come as a man(and at the same time still maintain His Godliness) to teach us His ways and ultimately sacrifice Himself to atone for our sins.

Giving us a way to be restored to full communion with God.

Answer 10

LUKE 24:44-47
He(Jesus Christ) said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."
Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ..." LUKE 24:44-47
