    Christ was just a man. A very smart man who like many philosophers before him studied many cultures and ideology's. Incorporating them into his own personal beliefs. Using logic and misdirection he was able to convince many that he could to do god like healing. But the best magic trick of all time was the fact that years later there are those that still believe that he will rise up again. They have made many movie about the dead waking....Dawn of the dead...zombies....ect. I guess they are God like too? After all If Christ were to have risen...he would be killed on site for being a zombie...

    "And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet." Matthew 14:5 (compare with Matthew 21:26)

    "And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee." Matthew 21:11

    "But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet." Matthew 21:46

    "And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:" Luke 24:19

    "The woman sayest unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet." John 4:19

    "Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world." John 6:14

    "Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet." John 7:40

    "And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people." Luke 7:16

    "They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet." John 9:17

    Indeed, how did Jesus himself describe himself? Let us read:

    "Nevertheless I (Jesus) must walk to day, and to morrow, and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem." Luke 13:33

    And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. Matthew 13:57, Mark 6:4, Luke 4:24, John 4:43

    No. There is only one God and he is the same god of the Muslims and the Christians and the Jews. The father of all that is; the father of Abraham and the father of us all including Jesus of Nazareth.

    Don’t let the born again Christians confuse you. I have had more then one spiritual encounter in my life. The bible like the all books ,that are written by man. How can mere mortal man even begin to explain what he might have seen or felt? I can’t.

    John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word WAS God.... vs 14 And the Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us

    Yes I believe Jesus was God come in the flesh of man as the Bible says.

    The Trinity is perhaps one of the most difficult concepts to understand in the Christian faith. A very basic explanation that I heard once has helped a little in my understanding. God is God, I believe, just like I am me and you are you. However, that does not prevent us from being someone else as well. When I got married, I became a wife, but I was still me. When I graduated from college, I became a teacher, but I was still me. God is always God, but He became Jesus in the stable in Bethlehem and He became the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2) while still being God. I believe God welcomes our questions, our confusion, our unbelief, and our anger because those things draw us nearer to Him. He can take those things from us and replace them with understanding, blessings, joy, and peace.

    Yes, I do believe that Jesus Christ was God Himself.

    Hoax? Created by men? Jesus is the one who claimed to be God...you either accept His word or you don't.

    Jesus did claim he was God (John 8:58..."before Abraham was, I AM"). Ex.3:14-15 reads, "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM". His death and resurrection underscore the fact that he was exactly who he claimed to be. Some have attempted to "water down" Jesus statement. Those hearing Him didn't have any trouble understanding what He was saying as they picked up rocks to stone Him (it would be blasphemy to claim one's self as God).

    Many have tried to follow the "he was a good teacher" route, but that really isn't an option. Either he was: A) an imposter or someone mentally unstable, or B) He was exactly who he claimed to be.

    Christians believe He was actly who He said He was...

    NO! ugh, this bothers me so very much. Jesus Christ was the SON OF GOD. THE SON. Not God himself. IF the son of someone is the person themselves, then my brother is my father. Furthermore, Jesus would pray to God, why would he pray to himself? Isn't that why mental institutions are so popular these days? Jesus died. Does that mean GOD DIED? NO. They are different people. DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Jesus was human, God is immortal!

    sorry, I get mad about that. My aunts force that at me all the time and I stick to what I believe. Will I got to hell for it, I don't know. I hope not.

    Mormons believe that Jesus replaced into the son of God and that God the father, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are 3 seperate distict persons. We worship God the father interior the call of Christ. We believe that Jesus replaced into given all potential by utilising the father, that Jesus created the earth and is Jehovah, the God of the old testomony earlier he replaced into born into mortality (Mormons believe that each physique human beings lived as spirits earlier the international replaced into created). Mormons believe that Jesus took upon himself the sins of the international interior the backyard of Gethsemane, replaced into crucified and replaced into resurrected the 0.33 day. We believe that he lives immediately as a ressurected being with an immortal physique. We believe that each physique issues are finished with the aid of Christ and that through fact of his resurrection and atonement, we are able to all be resurrected and if we are easy to the covenant that we make with God, our sins would be forgiven and we are able to return to the presence of God with the aid of the grace of Christ. in view that we are all spirit infants of God, Jesus is our older brother. Jesus is the reliable son. The topic of his existence is to do the desire of the father in all issues. He replaced into the super and final sacrifice for the sins of the international permitting God to be completely basically (through fact God is right, sin could be paid for, there could be no short cuts) yet completely merciful additionally.

    Yes...

    God is I AM

    God is Jesus

    God is the Holy Spirit

    Jesus was/is the Son of God because he was conceived by the Holy Spirt and becasue God reveals things to Him @ God's own will...like how He'll not reveal the "Day and the Hour" of His return.

    Not me. I think the early Christians got themselves in a bind when they said that Jesus was a god and then they had to invent the trinity to keep from having multiple gods.
