How can he be on earth praying to God in heaven, talking about God as ‘my Father’ and He and the Father still be one God?"

2007-12-21 21:30:46 · update #1

Islam's teaching about God is straight forward, and void of the ‘mysteries’ of Christianity, such as the trinity and the deity of Christ, which never made sense to me.

Hi Gloria.

It's impossible, but it is believed.

And no, you should not be stoned, but praised.

Because God the Father, is a different person than his son Jesus Christ. Both have physical bodies. Jesus came back to earth after his resurrection and told his apostles "a spirit hath not flesh and bones as you see me have" he also ate fish and bread with them.

See also Matthew chapter 3 - the baptism of Jesus in Jordan. He is in the water, the people hear a voice in heaven, the Father saying "my beloved son..." That voice had to come from a person talking. It wasn't Jesus, because he was in the water. So the Father and the Son are two seperate and distinct persons.

EDIT: It was the pagans that made christians believe that God in heaven was some mystical spirit that could not be comprehended. So now the vast majority of 'mainstream christianity' believes that. thank you Constantine for forcing all your beliefs on the world.

One of the foundational truths of the Christian faith is that
Jesus Christ is truly God and that He came into the world as a man by the miracle of virgin birth. Because of this birth he did not receive the Adamic or sin nature. Romans 5:12. As a man, He was absolutely sinless. His sinless life and His bodily resurrection from the dead confirm these truths.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the central theme of Holy Scripture
In the Old Testament God said to Moses, “I AM THAT I AM.” This name was used frequently by Jesus to validate His deity. When he frequently used the name “I AM,” He was saying, “I am God.”
“I AM the bread which came down from heaven.” John 6:41.
“I AM the light of the world.” John 8:12.
“I AM the door.” John 10:7.
“I AM the good shepherd.” John 10:11.
“I AM the resurrection and the life.” John 11:25.
“I AM the way, the truth and the life.” John 14:6.
“I AM the true vine.” John 15:1.

The deity of Christ means that Christ is God. Scripture clearly teaches this important fact in the following ways.
The coming of Christ was predicted in the Old Testament. Isaiah 7:14.
History records the birth of our Lord. His birth was different from all other births.
He was conceived by the Holy Ghost. Luke 1: 35.
He was born of a virgin. Matthew 1:23.
He was truly man, possessing a body (Hebrews 10:5), soul (Matthew 26:38) and spirit (Luke 23:46).
Christ came in human form in order to:
Reveal the Father. John 14:9.
Put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Hebrews 9:26.
Destroy the works of the devil. I John 3:8.

This is a good question, and people asked it when Jesus walked the Earth.

We recognize that history has given us gifted or talented people: Buddha, Gandhi, Mother Theresa, DaVinci...and others.

Jesus taught that we are all the children of god (at least potentially) and he encouraged and demonstrated a father/son relationship with God.

Prophesies told us that the Messiah would have the Spirit of God indwelling him, and one of the many ways he would be described was "God with us".

And then...

He promised the same "indwelling Spirit" to those who believed. That is the good news. God is not mad, and he is willing to share His Holy Spirit with all who ask.

His intention is to bring us all into perfect fellowship with him, just like Jesus. God is not in competition with his children. He wants us to succeed, and receive his Holy Spirit in equal measure.

How can Jesus be two people at the same time??? Easy How can you be two people at the same time??? I'm a mother, daughter. sister, aunt, cousin, niece, friend, mentor, patient and tutor and several others at the same time. Not such a hard thing to be at all.

how can you be a woman and a daughter at the same time?
God and Man are 2 different things in 2 different worlds.
God is a spirit Man is Flesh and blood.
I don't believe in the trinity. I believe Jesus was God Manifested in Flesh just as paul said.
I believe he was almighty God like Isiah said.
I believe he was my lord and my God just like thomas said.

when Jesus talks to God that is the flesh speaking to the omniprence spirit of God

"Jesus" the man, same as any other man [HU-man] understood and accepted, UN-Conditionally HIS personal connection to the "Divine ALL" and its UN-Conditional Nature. No conditions, no judgment, no limits.
Created and Honored with unlimited potential, in any direction. We may create, we may destroy. We were created with this unlimited potential to share, grow {evolve} and prosper in balance with the Divine ALL [Nature}.
We have been granted THE greatest gift, the gift of choice. Choice to choose with Respect, Honor, Tolerance and Balance.
Some call "God", some call "Buddha" some call "Allah" and some call "Spirit". Same "Entity" or "Supreme Being" just different name and paths of Honoring our Faith in our personal connection to this Divine ALL that "IS".
As a man {HU-man} connected to this divine ALL, we are a part of the ALL. In essence, being a person and a part of "god" at the same time through this connection.
Again, choice, with the freedom to choose, personally how we Honor our connection,with out judgment, conditions or limits. These concepts were created by man [HU-man] and not intended nor useful in any way.
I choose to Honor my Faith by accepting my part of connection, part of Divine All and part of Nature and hope to set the example and share of the UN-Conditional Love I am offered. Not different yet not the same, an individual.

He is not both. He was a mortal who is said to have been the son of God, but a mortal born of a mortal mother. It is believed that God spoke to and through him, but he was definitely mortal . I am surprised that so many religious people are confused about these distinctions.

AH yes logic!

Can a table be television at the same time?

No

Likewise man cannot be god at the same time!

Therefore Jesus (upon him peace) cannot be a god and a man at the same time.
