If Jesus was God on earth, as some believe, who was ruling heaven from his birth to death?

How do we know? What scriptural reason do you have?

    There is no scriptural reference in the Bible that says Jesus was God on earth. As a matter of fact, Jesus distinctly shows us that He is a separate person from God, even though they share the same Spirit:

    Mat 3:16-17

    As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. At the moment heaven was opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased".

    Mat 11:25-26

    "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure".

    Mat 24:36-37

    "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man".

    Mat 26:42

    He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done".

    Mat 27:45-46

    From noon until three in the afternoon, darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" - which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken Me?"

    People who suggest that Jesus IS God incarnate are those who might believe that the ONE Spirit they share means that they are ONE God. Not true. God Almighty and Jesus Christ are Father and Son, two separate entities. Just the same as a human father and son share the same genes and may have the same characteristics, yet are two different people.

    Hi, God is omnipresent.He is Spirit and is not limited to time and space. John Ch 1 shows the Word was God and became flesh. He was fully God living in a fully human body. So he needed food and sleep but could walk on water and raisen the dead. On the cross with oiur sin God the Father left him alone to die as a human. God could not be in the presence of evil. In Revelation it mentions the Son being subject to the father. This is the same human side which could never be equal with the Creator. The trinity is a human attempt to explain something that seems impossible to us.In Rev ch 1, 2 and 22 Jesus and the Almighty are called the Alpha and Omega giving them the same eternal title. nev7777auau@yahoo.com.au

    No where in Bible, Jesus has said that I am God or he had said that Worship me. This theory of Jesus being son of God was first preached by Saint Paul and Jesus has never ever claimed to be God or son of God. In Quran, it is clearly mentioned that Jesus was born from virgin Mary but was a humen being and among the greatest messengers of God but the belief of Jesus being son of God was invented by his followers many years after he was resurrected to heavens.

    i'm Mormon, and function been my total existence. while i replaced into little, i did not question something, I purely went to church with my family members and that i depended on my parents' ideals and their thoughts. As a youthful teenager, I went by way of some dark cases. i in my opinion puzzled if God replaced into there, if he even cared. i replaced into obstinate and did not hear to every physique or enable them to attempt to help me. i replaced right into a lone wolf. Now, as I mature, i know that the Gospel is genuine. I even have taken the time to rather locate out for myself what's stable and what's genuine. i don't, via any ability, have all the solutions, and that i nevertheless have an prolonged the right thank you to bypass, yet i know that Christ is my Savior. i know that i will pray for help at any time, in everywhere. God loves each and each of his toddlers, and that i know this for a reality. i've got faith, as you suggested, that Christ does love everybody, regardless of their movements. we are his brothers and sisters. He has a ability to love us whilst quickly as we make blunders. With that being suggested, there's a difference between loving the guy, and loving what they do. i've got faith that homosexuality is incorrect. yet, to choose people who choose for to stay their lives in that way, is incorrect. Hating people who're gay isn't ok. God would not hate every physique. there will be outcomes for movements chosen, even if for stable or for undesirable. we don't have the flexibility to declare who is going to heaven or hell. basically God can be certain that. permit he who's proper throw the 1st stone. i know i'm not proper so i'm not goint to show arms at what everybody else is doing incorrect.

    You see, Jesus was the one that came to earth... not God. Jesus is God's son and is part of the Holy Trinity. For example, think of a boiled egg... you have the shell, the white, and the yolk. These are three separate parts, yet comprise one egg. The same applies to the Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit operate as three separate individuals, yet, are in accord as one.

    Yes, Jesus is God, but God's understanding and our understanding is different.

    Let me put it like this, even if no other situation is comparible to this: us trying to understand God is like an ant trying to understand us. We simply can't.

    God is The Father, The Son AND the Holy Spirit.

    If you rely only on your own understanding, you are bound to get even more confused!

    All I know is that Jesus is love, and that's all we need!

    God bless.

    the trinity doctrine is false and blatantly calls God a liar which he is not so the Bible tells it correctly that Jesus was the son of God ,the holy spirit is the power of God given to whoever he chooses and he is the King of Heaven and Earth and the God of all who live there in.

    Ummm it was still Him. Who ever said that He relinquished His heavenly authority while on earth....as a matter of fact to believe in such nonsense is heretical.

    Why do you ascribe to God the limitations of man?

    If you actually accepted Scripture as authority you would not be asking, "How do we know? What scriptural reason do you have?"
