jesus (God)?

Question

I just want to know what christians think of this, i swear to u i am not mocking this is a serious question. I just want to understand.

If Jesus is the son of God, then Mary should be Gods wife?were they married? or it was un marrige sex? or did they have sex? or whats the deal? and if Jesus is also God then is he the origional God, like hes his own dad?

And is Mary a Godess also, because she is the mother of God ( Jesus) and had sex with God ( who is this God?)

And did Mary have sex with this God? or what? since God is the father of Jesus and jesus is God then doesnt that mean that at some point God ( who is also Jesus) had sex with Mary?

Im just confeusing myself here, but i have two more questions..

If jesus is also God, then why did he die? a God in my opinion does not die because, well he is God.

And what is the Holy spirit?


thank you, and i am looking for serious answers! not stupid sorcastic ones!!!!

jesuslovesme

hehe thanx, but im not christian, im just asking because i am curious, and confeused (obviously) about the whole God Jeusus thing.
and i have read the bible, thats y i kinda have these questions.
but thanx anyway :D

and if any1 can give me a straight answer that would be great!

THANKS!

okay, lets start by, if God sent the holy spirit to make Mary pregnant, and Jesus is a human form of God, so he sent the holy spirit to make Mary pregnent with himself?
And if jesus is the human form of God then why would God suffer? he cannot suffer if he is God!
and the last paragraph i SO did not understand anyyyything from it!

so basicly God divided himself into three?
himself, God, and Jesus, and the Holy spirit?
so God told the holy spirit (God) to make Mary pregnant with Jesus (God)?

so basicly God divided himself into three?

so God told the holy spirit (God) to make Mary pregnant with Jesus (God)?
so do you worship God or Jesus?
because Jesus is God and also the Holy Spirit, so do you worship all of them or just God? But in the end they are all just one God?

because most christians have the cross with Jesus on it, so it is Jesus that you worship?

Answer 1

Well, logically, if Jesus is the son of God and Mary is his earthly mother, there is no way that Mary is married to God. If anything she is the mother of God. While she certainly didn't create God, she did carry Jesus to his birth and raised him. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and Mary was in a sense a 'vessel' so that God could bring a human manifest of himself to earth. Jesus being fully human allowed for real suffering on the cross, which means his death had real significance. Jesus really felt pain and was brutally tortured so that we could be saved by his grace through our faith in Him.

Now, realize that Mary isn't a Goddess. That's simply based on the fact that there is only one God. She did not have sex with God, again she was simply conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35). Again, Jesus died a human death so that his human death would have meaning. He rose from the grave to show His deity and that there is hope in Christ. We are supposed to die to ourselves and sin when we become a Christian so that we may receive grace by our faith. God never dies, but then again, was never born, so...

Finally, the Holy Spirit is God and believers have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. True Christians receive the Holy Spirit, and Romans 8:9 teaches that we if we don't have the Holy Spirit, we are not saved. Only those who are saved by God can go to Heaven. John 14:16 talks of the Holy Spirit as a Counselor/Helper to those who believe. The Holy Spirit has that role in lives of Christians. It's the power of God to call upon. Christians should use the Holy Spirit for guidance in reading the Bible.

EDIT:

Thanks for responding to my post. First you must realize that the Holy Spirit and Jesus are both God, so your idea that God sent the Holy Spirit is more or less the fact that the Holy Spirit is God. The Holy Spirit conceived Jesus, which shows that as much as Jesus was fully human, He is also fully God. Father, Son/Jesus and Holy Spirit are all persons of the trinity, to make up one God. They simply have different roles. Jesus’ role was to become fully human. The Holy Spirit’s role is to help Christians.

It is because Jesus was fully human that he could suffer for our sins. God doesn't suffer, but there of course things that he hates like sin. Jesus suffered as a human, again, so that we wouldn't have to suffer an eternal separation of God. Those who put their faith in Jesus will be saved.

The original last paragraph was an attempt to explain the Holy Spirit. I know it can be confusing. Basically, the Holy Spirit is God that dwells in us. It doesn't mean we are God, it just means that we can call upon the Holy Spirit to help us. Everything that occurs is in God's will, so the help we receive must be of God's will. Hope that didn't confuse you either.

Answer 2

I will make this as simple as possible. Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Ghost.Mary didn't have physical sex to get pregnant w/ Jesus. Thus he was a virgin birth as the Bible teaches. God is an invisible Spirit. So, for a sacrifice to be made for mankind's sins he took on a body and died on the cross. That person came into the world as Jesus Christ. Read Isaiah 9:6 very carefully! Jesus at his birth was called the mighty God and everlasting Father. Jesus was fully God and fully man. He was man because he was the physical son of Mary.Hence the title Son of God. But he was divine and as such the Father in parental relationship to mankind. He was the Holy Ghost-God in activity as Spirit.For biblical reference of Son of God-see Luke 1:5, Galatians 4:4, Hebrews 1:1-3, Hebrews 1:5. For biblical reference of Jesus as HG-Gen.1:2,Acts 5:3,4,9. Eph,4:4,6. Father as the HG-Matt. 1:18,20.Matt.10:20. Jesus is God incarnate-Isa.9:6, Isa. 40:9, John 1:1,14. John 20:28, II Cor. 5:19, Col. 1:15, Col. 2:9-10, I Tim. 3:16, Titus 2:13, Micah 5:2, Matt. 1:23, John 10:30, John 14:8-11, Rev. 21:6-7, John 14:16-18, II Cor. 3:17. That should be way more than enough info. I just wanted to be very clear. Once you look over the whole picture, its very clear. Feel free to ask me again, if you have more questions. God Bless!!

Answer 3

He was called Son of God because He came in human form -and for that rather than just appear, He came through a virgin. God suppying DNA isn't hard of course. But in the spirit he was God not man. He could not die for our sins if (1) imperfect (2) just a man.

Luke 1:31 You will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you are to give name Him Jesus. He will be great and called the Son of the Most High .....
Mary said 'How can this be, since I am a virgin'
The angel answered and said to her: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the most High will overshadow you; AND FOR THAT REASON THE HOLY CHILD SHALL BE CALLED SON OF GOD".

The Holy Spirit is God - there are many references to Him in the Old Testament - the Spirit of the Lord, as distinct from Yahweh Himself.

The Holy Spirit can be with a person. In the Old Testament priests and prophets could be 'anointed' with Him, enabling miracles, prophetic revelation and so on. The Messiah was prophesied to be anointed with Him in Isaiah 61 to heal the sick and release the captives. Jesus received the Holy Spirit when baptised by John the baptist - after that He engaged in a healing ministry more wonderful and successful than any other, as well as preaching, and offering Himself for our sins, with forgiveness at His expense for those who put faith in Him. Jesus gave the Holy Spirit to all christians when He left earth - the Holy Spirit came upon the believers in Acts 2. He enables certain supernatural gifts, which are in evidence in some churches, but not other, more traditional, churches. Theoretically a christian could access all the powers Jesus operated in, but that would take mature faith and mature loving character.

Answer 4

First of all, I am no scholar in this, but I have went to church off and on for most of my life.
Jesus was born to the virgin Mary. Mary did not have sex with anyone. An angel appeared to her and told her of the son she was going to give birth to and his name would be Jesus. Mary was "engaged" to Joseph at the time, and an angel appeared to him as well, and told him to not be afraid of taking mary as his wife. Joseph was Marys' husband.

Jesus was sent here to save all of us. Sinners. He was the sacrifice so we could be saved. Everyone is a sinner, and noone can come before God without a Savior.
The Holy Spirit dwells here on earth. Christians believe that the Holy Spirit leads people to faith in Jesus and gives them the ability to lead a Christian life.

Answer 5

I just want to know what christians think of this,...
* OK, your questions are welcome. What I think:

Mary should be Gods wife? Were they married?
* No and No, marriage is defineed between a man and a woman.

It was un marrige sex? or did they have sex? or whats the deal?
* No and no.
* The deal: there were no sexual relations between God and Mary. Mary's ovum was transformed into Jesus (incarnation) without any physical/sexual contact.
* God does not need an x-ray or CT Scan machine to see pass a mass of skin / muscles. He do not need a sexual reproductive system to create Jesus' embryo/fetus inside Mary's womb and to use an ovum from Mary in the process.

Jesus is also God then is he the original God, like hes his own dad?
* The Trinity is the christian doctrine that explains God is one being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a mutual indwelling of three persons (not to be confused by "person"): the Father, the Son (incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth), and the Holy Spirit.

And is Mary a Godess?
* No, just a human being.

Is Mary the mother of God ( Jesus) ?
* She is the mother of the Jesus (God transformed / incarnated into man), since Jesus grew in her womb and she gave birth Him. By definition she is Jesus mother. However, as God, Jesus did not started His existence inside Mary's body, He has existed forever, without a beggining. He was known as The Word (John chapter 1), before coming to Earth and be born of Mary. Mary is not the mother of The Word, she did not existed before God.

Did Mary had sex with God?
* As said before, no. No sexual relations were involved.

And did Mary have sex with this God?
* As said before, no. No sexual relations were involved.

or what?
* Mary's ovum was transformed into Jesus (incarnation) without any physical contact.

Since God is the father of Jesus and Jesus is God then doesnt that mean that at some point God ( who is also Jesus) had sex with Mary?
* No, it does not mean that. See previous answers.

If Jesus is also God, then why did he die?
* It was His mission to die. John 3:16 is a good explanation.

God in my opinion does not die because, well he is God.
* God transformed Himself in a human, without losing His identity as God. As a human He was perfectly capable to die, to suffer pain, to be hungry, tired, etc. Same as you and me.

What is the Holy Spirit?
* the correct question is Who? not What?
* the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is one of the three persons of the Holy Trinity who make up the single substance of God; that is, the Spirit is considered to act in concert with and share an essential nature with God the Father and God the Son (Jesus). The Christian theology of the Holy Spirit, or pneumatology, was the last piece of Trinitarian theology to be fully explored and developed. For this reason, there is greater theological diversity among Christian understandings of the Spirit than there is among understandings of the Son (Christology) and of the Father. Within Trinitarian theology, the Holy Spirit is usually referred to as the "Third Person" of the Triune God - with the Father being the First Person and the Son the Second Person.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Wow, you have a lot going on here, huh?

Well, let's just deal with this sex thing right off, okay? No, God, nor Jesus had sex with anyone. Neither was Jesus nor God married to anyone. God essentially implanted (think of in-vitro fertilization) the seed that would become the infant Jesus.

God is one being, yet exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. This can be confusing, so I hear you.

Jesus was born to Mary as a human child. As a human, he was able to experience life just as you and I live it: hunger, cold, heat, pain, rejection, heartbreak, misery, disappointment, dejection, frustration, and so on; he also experienced happiness, delight, amusement, etc. This is how we know he can relate to us when we pray about the things going on in our lives, good and bad. However, his being able to relate to our lives is just one aspect of his life as a human being while he was on earth. He set aside his immortality to do what was required of him.

Jesus died to pay the price for all the sins mankind would ever commit, as well as put paid once and for all the debt for original sin (what Adam and Eve did, and passed on to every person on the planet). Before Jesus' birth, God required that the Israelites sacrifice an animal to pay for sin. But to settle the debt for the entire world in one fell swoop required a sacrifice of greater magnitude: Jesus had to give up his life to save our souls.

You are right. God, as the Father, Son, and/or Holy Spirit cannot die. Which is why Jesus had to become human in order to sacrifice his life for us.

The Holy Spirit is also God, as I said. He was sent--following Jesus' death--to comfort those that were left after Jesus returned to Heaven. He continues to be a part of all believers' lives today.

Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.

Thank you for asking such a nice question.

Hope I helped. God bless you. †


Darth Eugene Vader explained things very well. Nice work!
So did BlessingSeeker and many others.

P. S. One of the things you should consider about the questios you have is probably your concept of God. You are trying to equate God to earthly circumstances, which doesn't really work because he is God and can do anything. Instead, think of earthly circumstances and relate them to God. You are kind of looking at God as if he is human: sex, marriage, etc. That is also why you may be experiencing difficulty understanding the 'God the Father, Son, Holy Spirit' thing.

If you look at it from the vantage of Someone who is able to do anything, it may be easier to comprehend.

Answer 7
