Why did God only make Jesus "God"? Why didn't he just make everybody "God"?

Answer 1

Hindus and Buddhists believe that there is divine in everyone.

The typical greating is "That which is god in me greets that which is god in you." Kind of makes war a bit of sacrilege.

Not that I believe in God, but I still think that it's a leveling sentiment.

Namaste.

Answer 2

Can you or anyone else reach at the level of self realization like Jesus did? If yes, then Go ahead...
There is only one God, people interpret God in different names and forms. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe and 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, and remember ignorance gives failures. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Purpose of this Life is to Improve by Gaining and Sharing utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Best, Right, Good, Truth, God against Worst, Wrong, Bad, Untruth, 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 3

God didn't "MAKE" Jesus to be God. Jesus came from the very heart of God, and as such, LIKE God, was uncreated. "In the beginning was the Word (Logos), and the Logos was WITH God, and the Logos WAS God" ... "And the Logos became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory as of the only (uniquely) begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

In the beginning, when God spoke "Let there be light" that was the Logos carrying out His own purpose.

When God came to earth as Jesus Christ, a one-in-all-time event occurred for the first, last, and only time ever, in that God, who is ONE, somehow split off.

It would be as though your soul walked away from your body and became another person, yet one mind, one heart. What someone sees ONE of them do, is what YOU do.

That's why Jesus said, "When you've seen me, you've seen the Father", that is to say, whatever God would do in any given situation, look at me, and what I do is what God does.

For the rest of us, He made us in His own image as miniature finite duplicate copies of God.

But as far as Jesus is concerned, He truly IS God - prior to ever coming to earth and for all eternity is and was God.

Answer 4

The Bible and Jesus says, if you love and worship God only, live and seek righteousness, and do good those who hate you. Then you to can do the very same miracles that Jesus did.

Answer 5

He made Jesus only god because he wanted Jesus to be perfect and no one else

Answer 6

Mankind being god?.... look how we are doing here on earth, imagine what a mess we'd make with HIs power..... Only God can be God....Jesus wasn't just a man, He is one with the Father since the beginning....

Answer 7

The True Founder of Christianity
Did Jesus or his Apostles follow a religion called Christianity? Who were the first 'Christians' ? Who founded Christianity and do the teachings of Christianity conform to the teachings of Jesus?

The teachings of Paul, the true founder of Christianity, cannot be found anywhere in the teachings of Jesus or in those of prophets before him.

Gross Blasphemy

[19:88] They said, "The Most Gracious has begotten a son"!

[19:89] You have uttered a gross blasphemy.

[19:90] The heavens are about to shatter, the earth is about to tear asunder, and the mountains are about to crumble.

[19:91] Because they claim that the Most Gracious has begotten a son.

[19:92] It is not befitting the Most Gracious that He should beget a son.

[19:93] Every single one in the heavens and the earth is a servant of the Most Gracious.

[19:94] He has encompassed them, and has counted them one by one.

[19:95] All of them will come before Him on the Day of Resurrection as individuals.

Answer 8

God didn't make Jesus 'god'... Jesus is God in the flesh.... God wrapped Himself in flesh and lived in the person of Jesus Christ.

John 8
23 He said to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.
24 I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he."

Who is Jesus talking about? "unless you believe that I am he"?

John 8
25 They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Even what I have told you from the beginning.
26 I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him."
27 They did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father.

They didn't understand at that time that Jesus was speaking about the father. Who is "he"? The father. Unless you believe that Jesus is the Father, you will die in your sins.

Hmmm...

Answer 9

In one line of thought, that's the whole point of making Jesus God, is to make us all into gods. It's called deification, and I've just butchered the doctrine by oversimplifying it, but there you go.

Peace to you.

Answer 10

In some denominations, we all our god. We are blessed with the Holy Spirit which is part of God.
