Why would God need a Jesus?

Question

If you're God, why would you need a Jesus? You can't just do it yourself?

LDS~ God doesn't need Jesus, we do? Is Jesus there to protect us from God? Is God really that dangerous?

Answer 1

Why would God need a Jesus? God the Father is a Spirit. Christ was the one in the OT that performed the miracles and duties that God the Father asked Him. Then in the NT Christ left Heaven and took the form of a man (in the flesh) and God called His Son Jesus.
God also needed the Holy Ghost(Spirit) to perform duties which God the Father asked Him to perform in both the OT and the NT. After Jesus Christ was crusified and resurrected by the Power of God the Father, Jesus told His deciples that I will not leave you comfortless. I am ascending back to the Father in Heaven. I will send the Comforter the Holy Ghost(Spirit).

If you're God, why would you need a Jesus? Same as Above.

You can't just do it yourself? No. God could not come in the form of a man (in the flesh) and then resurrect himself and ascend back to himself in Heaven.

LDS~ God doesn't need Jesus, we do?

Is Jesus there to protect us from God? Yes. Jesus is making intercession for us to God the Father. Jesus Christ when He was crusified and shed His Precious Blood for our (mankinds) sins He nailed the Law and it Handwriting of Ordinances to His cross. Because the Jews had the Romans to crusify Jesus, God the Father blinded the Jew and opened the Gospel of Grace to the Gentiles. Under the Gospel of Grace and God's plan for the Gentiles our sins are written down and if we repent and are Saved and ask God to forgive us that sin it is covered by Jesus Precious Blood and is remembered no more against ua.

Is God really that dangerous? God the Father's reaction to Sin is to Destroy it. But with Jesus as our intecessor, to plead for mercy on our behalf because of the Bloos that Jesus shed on the cross, God the Father allows the sin to be written down waiting for the Day of Judgement rather than punish the sinner immediatly. But if the sinner does not repent and get Saved he will be tormented for eternity in Hell and then the Lake of Fire.

Answer 2

God is all about justice. When the Adam, a perfect human sinned and lost everlasting life on earth for all of his offspring, a ransom was needed. Perfect man for perfect man. That is why God sent his only begotten son John 3:16.
(1 Cor 15:22 "For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive.")

Answer 3

In the celestial scheme of things there are two eternal laws that God rules things with: 1)Justice and 2) Mercy.
According to the law of Justice, every step away from perfection we take needs to be dealt with. Punished, if you will. God cannot give any allowance to sinful activity; therefore, anything sinful cannot dwell with God.
According to the law of Mercy, God is forgiving. He wants us to have happiness in this world and joy in the hereafter. He will help us right our wrongs and dwell with Him.
The two laws would cancel each other out if not for Jesus Christ. Christ, having no sins was able to suffer the punishment of all sins but still remain pure. In doing so, he fulfilled the law of Justice. Now, as our Mediator, he extends Mercy to all mankind.

Answer 4

God first sent Adam and Seth. They were to be his first preists of the true religion. Yet they where merely men whom were much like children in thhe spiritual. Hence the so called "falling." Later we have, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Elijah, each with an upadate message for the people who believe. Since men have a tendency to ignore what the message is and make it into what they think it should say, He then sent the Heirophant, Y'shua Ha Mashiac, (Jesus the Christ), to convey the first message of the true religion to the world: "I am God, I am life, I am love, come to me and your life shall be fulfilled."

Answer 5

Because God would cease to be God if He did not abide His own laws. In order to satisfy justice and still be merciful, we needed someone to pay the price we could not pay ourselves. And only a perfect person could do so. And Christ lived a perfect life.

He died to loose the bands on death by being raised three days later, so that we may all live again through the resurrection with a perfected and immortal body. Christ's suffering for our sins actually took place in the garden of Gethsemane when He bled from every pore.

Answer 6

. God sent His Son to the earth by transferring his life to the womb of Mary. So Jesus did not have a human father. That is why he did not inherit any sin or imperfection. God sent Jesus to earth for three reasons: (1) To teach us the truth about God (John 18:37), (2) to maintain perfect integrity, providing a model for us to follow (1 Peter 2:21), and (3) to sacrifice his life to set us free from sin and death. Why was this needed?—Matthew 20:28.

3. By disobeying God's command, the first man, Adam, committed what the Bible calls "sin." So God sentenced him to death. (Genesis 3:17-19) He no longer measured up to God's standards, so he was not perfect anymore. Slowly he grew old and died. Adam passed on sin to all his children. That is why we also grow old, get sick, and die. How could mankind be saved?—Romans 3:23; 5:12.



4. Jesus was a perfect human just like Adam. Unlike Adam, though, Jesus was perfectly obedient to God under even the greatest test. He could therefore sacrifice his perfect human life to pay for Adam's sin. This is what the Bible refers to as the "ransom." Adam's children could thus be released from condemnation to death. All who put their faith in Jesus can have their sins forgiven and receive everlasting life.—1 Timothy 2:5, 6; John 3:16; Romans 5:18, 19.

Answer 7

Jesus is God in the form of a man He came to demonstrate God's mercy towards man...

The Word Became Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood[a] it.

Answer 8

God had to come to earth as a man because sin had come into the world by a man. Man had to pay the penalty for sin but there was not one sinless, so God, by miraculously causing a human body to be made without sin, which is passed down from our human father, came to earth.

Answer 9

At bottom this question is a casting aside of the 'Trinity' as being wrong. You can say/think that of course. But to someone who accepts it, Jesus is not the extra unneeded ingredient that you 'believe'.

Answer 10

God could have made a plan of salvation that He could of fulfilled Himself, but He chose to include Jesus to complete the plan of salvation as we have it spelled out in the Bible.
