Questions about christianity?

1-The Christian NT is a false man made book created to start a new religion, the catholic church and christians turned Jesus into a god. There is only one God!!!

Numbers 23:19) "God is not a man that He should be deceitful, nor a son of man that He should relent.

Isaiah 40:25) "To whom can you liken me that I should be his equal?"

Isaiah 43:11) "I, only I, am God and there is no deliverer aside from me"

Isaiah 45:5) "I am God and there is no other; other than me there is no God."

Isaiah 45:21) There is no other god besides Me: there is no righteous god besides Me and no savior other than Me.

Isaiah 45:22) Turn to Me and be saved all ends of the earth, for I am God and there is no other.

2-Jesus was no more the son of God than any of us are a son or daughter of God. The whole Virgin Birth story is false.

The gospels of Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 1:26-35 both claim that Jesus was born of a virgin, but only Matthew 1:23 appeals to the Hebrew scriptures as an explanation for why this should be the case. The verse appealed to is Isaiah 7:14 which reads: "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call his name Immanuel."

There are a number of problems with this passage. The Hebrew word translated as "virgin" in this verse is "almah," which is more accurately translated simply as "young woman." The Hebrew word "bethulah" means "virgin." In the book of Isaiah, "bethulah" appears four times 23:12, 37:22, 47:1, 62:5, so its author was aware of the word.

In the New American Standard translation of the Bible, all other appearances of "almah" are translated simply as "girl," "maid," or "maiden" Genesis 24:43, Exodus 2:8, Psalms 68:25, Proverbs 30:19, Song of Solomon 1:3, 6:8, So the claimed fulfillment adds a biologically impossible condition which is not even present in the original prophecy.

Another problem is that nowhere in the New Testament does Mary, Jesus' mother, refer to him as "Immanuel." Thus we have no evidence that one of the conditions of the prophecy was ever fulfilled.

But the most serious problem with this alleged messianic prophecy is that it has been taken out of context. Looking at the entire seventh chapter of Isaiah, and it becomes clear that the child in question is to be born as a sign to Ahaz, King of Judah, that he will not be defeated in battle by Rezin, King of Syria, and Pekah, son of the King of Israel. Jesus' birth was some seven centuries late to be such a sign. In Isaiah 8:3-4, a prophetess gives birth to a son -- Maher-shalal-hash-baz -- who is clearly described as the fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah 7:14

3-See answer to #1

4-God has no gender

5-All three religions Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are sprung from Judaism. We are related in our faiths all though there are many differences between all 3 but all the peoples of all 3 faiths are not blood related as people of different ethenticitys can convert to any of these faiths.

6-See answer #2

7-Jesus was not the son of God born from a human mother he was a total mortal human like Adam, me, you, and everyone else.

8-He Didn't. God condemned human sacrifice. Christians identify Jesus as being the Messiah and define him as God incarnated as a man, and believe that he died for the sins of humanity as a blood sacrifice.

This means that one has to accept the idea that the death of Jesus can atone for another person's sins.

The Christian idea of the Messiah also assumes that God wants, and will accept, a human sacrifice, when God has condemned human sacrifice of any kind. Jesus did not die for anyone to be forgiven for their sins let alone all mankind.

9-Your right he was not God.

10-Christianity is only the true religion for those who believe it's teachings, as any religion is the true religion for those who believe it's teachings and follow that religion, but Christianity is the only religion that I know of that teaches if you don't believe their way and accept Jesus as your lord and savior your going to hell, and that is why I am no longer a Christian I believe there are many paths to God not just one.

The Trinity is so complex to answer. I am just a lay person and do not feel qualified to answer. God is the Father The Son and The Holy Spirit AMEN. They are all and one in each other. St Augustine would be a good author to read up on this subject.

Mary allowed herself to be the mother of Jesus Christ. She accepted him as the savior before anyone else knew about him. She had the purest faith and that is why we honor her so much.

Jesus translates into "chosen one" or "anointed" It is the name that God has given him. It doesn't lower God's status at all. It means he is the one to save the world and rule mankind.

They say God has no gender. No idea why we still say Father.

We believe all three major religions are from the same roots but all have different beliefs. Jews and Muslims do not believe Jesus is the Messiah like Christians do in addition to other beliefs.

Jesus Is both human and divinity. He is the word made flesh. Still God.

Jesus died on the cross to take our place for our sins. Died to fulfill the prophecy that he would die for forgiveness of sins.

He allowed himself to be killed. He could have stopped it anytime. Again God loved the world and sent his son to die for our sins. He was resurrected on the third day to fulfill scriptural prophecy.

All of the above. Catholicism is the true church because it was institued by Jesus Christ the son of God.

I encourage you to seek out a priest for deeper answers. I am again a lay person and do not have the theological training to go deeper than this. I am just a woman of deep faith trying to help a seeker.

I recommend reading the bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church for more information.

God bless.

1. The trinity is God in different forms. God is one being, but has three forms.

2. Mary is not in any way part of the trinity, nor considered a God and should not be worshipped.

3. Again, as part of the trinity, Jesus is God in human form. Jesus is fully God.

4. It is said the Father, because God is always referred to as Him or He in the Bible referring to him with a male gender. You do not have to be in creation to have a gender.

5. Religions may be rooted at once center belief, but have other things about them that disagree and make them separate.

6. Jesus is fully God, although he was born from a human mother, Mary was a virgin, so technically he was not a natural human birth.

7. Adam has nothing to do with that, so no.

8. There is no forgiveness without the shed of blood.

9. He was God in human form, he was God but had all the attributes of a human. And although he physically died as in his body, the spirit went to rest in hell for the time being, so he was never ceasing to exist.

10. Christianity has archeological proof, and a living God whose power is provable.

I thought you were an Atheist until I read the bottom. I have all respect for you and am happy to give you answers. Those were very good questions you asked, but sometimes when it comes to faith you have to believe in what is not proven, by definition of faith, belief in the unseen.

The Triune God is found throughout the Bible.

Beginning in Genesis 1:1, it says "In the beginning God created heaven and earth". In the original writings in Hebrew the word used for God is "plural" (Elohim), yet the word used for created (bara) is singular. Later in Genesis 1:26, it says "Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness.......".

In John 1:1, it says "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God". Later in John 1:14 , it says "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us........". Obviously, the “Word” is Jesus Christ, but also “God”.

In John 4:24, it says “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”.

In John 10:30, it says “I and my Father are one”.

In John 14:9, it says “….he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father”.

In 1 John 5:7, it says "For there are three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one". Although modern translations have removed this verse based upon the mistaken omission in the flawed Vaticanus manuscript written in the 4th century, there are writings made as early as 150 AD that prove this verse is actually part of God's Word.

If you study the scripture describing each one of the following events, the Creation, the Incarnation, the Baptism, the Transfiguration, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, the Ascension and the Great Commission you will find that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit were present together at each one.

If you study the scriptures describing the names of God and Jesus, you will find they are the SAME.

“I AM” Exodus 3:14, John 8:58

The “ROCK” 1 Sam. 2:2; 2 Sam. 22:3; Isa. 17:10; Ps. 28:1; 31:2,3; 89:26; 95:1, Matt. 16:18; Rom. 9:33; 1 Cor. 10:4.

1 is a stupidly complicated question and I believe even wars have been fought over the meaning of the trinity. At the very least, people have wrote tons of books on the subject... all contradictory and stupid. To me, the real meaning of the trinity is about control and how to exercise authority over common people:

God (the father) acts as an authority figure and commands you to obey.

Jesus (the son) plays the nice guy to make God seem personable (so people actually want to follow God)

The Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) is some "mysterious" presence that can be used as a scapegoat for all the sh!t that doesn't make sense in the religion.

Whoa...too many questions but I will say this:

Jesus is 100% God because he is begotten from the Father...that which comes from God IS God. God cannot be divided or diminished. He's ALSO 100% human...characteristics which came from his Mother (not a god in her own right) but were not diminished by the Father. It's not 50/50 because as I said, that which comes from God cannot be lessened.

What did Jesus say?

▪ “If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Jesus acknowledged that he and his Father are not equals.

▪ “I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.” (John 20:17) Jesus did not speak of himself as God but spoke of God as a separate Person.

▪ “I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak.” (John 12:49) Jesus’ teachings did not come from him; they came from the Father.

JESUS claimed to be the Son of God, not Almighty God. If Jesus were God, to whom was he praying while here on earth? (Matthew 14:23; 26:26-29) Surely Jesus was not just pretending to talk to someone else!

When two of Jesus’ disciples asked him for special positions in his Kingdom, he answered: “This sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” (Matthew 20:23) Was Jesus telling them a lie when he stated that he did not have the authority to grant their request? Hardly! Rather, he humbly acknowledged that only God has the authority to make such decisions. Jesus even explained that there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that were known only by his Father.—Mark 13:32.

Was Jesus lower than God only while he was a man here on earth? No. Even after his death and resurrection, Jesus is described in the Bible as being subordinate to God. The apostle Paul reminds us that “God is supreme over Christ.” (1 Corinthians 11:3, Today’s English Version) The Bible says that in the future “when all things have been placed under Christ’s rule, then he himself, the Son, will place himself under God, who placed all things under him; and God will rule completely over all.”—1 Corinthians 15:28, TEV.

Clearly, Jesus is not God Almighty. That is why he spoke of his Father as “my God.”—Revelation 3:2, 12; 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.

It is given that UNBELIEVERS can understand the mysteries of God

If you really want to understand these things, have faith in your Creator.

I am not making fun of you - The Vatican created Muhammad, Islam

And the Qur'an to fool your arab ancestors into doing some dirty-work for them.

The Vatican wanted to create a Messiah for the Arabs, someone they could raise up as a great leader, a man with charisma who they could train, and eventually unite all the non-Catholic Arabs behind him . . . creating a mighty army that would ultimately capture Jerusalem for the pope.

A wealthy Arabian lady, who was a faithful follower of the pope, played a tremendous part in this drama. She was a 40 year old widow named Khadijah bint Khuwaylid .... Her job was to find a brilliant young man who could be used by the Vatican to create a new religion and become the messiah for the children of Ishmael. She soon found young Muhammad, and they were married .... Under orders from the Vatican, Roman Catholic Arabs across North Africa began spreading the story of a great one .... who was about to rise up among the people and be the chosen one of their god.

By the time Muhammad died, the religion of Islam was exploding. The nomadic Arab tribes were joining forces in the name of Allah and his prophet, Muhammad. In their ~holy’ book, the Qur’an, Jesus is regarded as only a prophet. If the pope was His representative on earth, then he also must be a prophet of God. . .which caused the followers of Muhammad to fear and respect the pope as another ‘holy man.’ The pope moved quickly, and issued bulls granting the Arab generals permission to invade and conquer the nations of North Africa. The Vatican helped to finance the building of these massive Islamic armies in exchange for three special favours:

1 . Eliminate the Jews and Christians [which they call infidels].

2. Protect the Augustinian monks and Roman Catholics.

3. Conquer Jerusalem for ‘his holiness’ in the Vatican.

As time passed, the power of Islam became tremendous. . . . Jews and Christians were slaughtered, and Jerusalem fell into their hands. . . . It was time for the pay-off.... The pope asked for Jerusalem. But by now, the Arab generals felt the exhilaration of victory everywhere they went. They felt nothing could stand in their way. The pope’s carefully laid plans began to backfire, and then crumbled before his eyes.

The Muslim generals were determined to conquer the world for Allah.. .so they turned their eyes towards Europe. The Islamic ambassadors approached ‘His Holiness’ in the Vatican and asked for papal bulls to give them permission to invade European countries. The Vatican was outraged. War was inevitable. Temporal power and control of the world was considered the basic right of the pope. He wouldn’t think of sharing it with what he considered heathens. The pope raised up his armies and called them crusades to hold back the children of lshmael from grabbing Catholic Europe. The wars continued for centuries.. .and Jerusalem slipped out of the pope’s grasp.

l. the bible has two words for 1. one singular and one group. the word for god in deut 6.4 one is a one group. jesus is god. john 1, phil 2. rev 1, heb 1. jesus never said he wasnt god.

2. mary was just an instrument to carry and deliver messiah to the world. she herself was a sinner too. luke 1.47

3. the bible reveals god as one divine spirit eternally manifested as father, son and holy spirit. there is no competition in the godhead. col 2.8 to 9. john 14 to 16 clearly teaches equality just as a man, woman and child are all equal but have different roles.

4. god has revealed his nature as a father as taught by jesus also. although he isnt a man, he is perfect divine spirit. since he has placed the headship to the man, he himself has revealed himself in a masculine way. jesus was a man as god in the flesh. isa 7.14

5. god chose abraham the father of the jews. he had ishmael through his egyptian slave. the christians believe in the jewish messiah but muslimism isnt gods message. its his messiah jesus who is to be preached.

6. phil 2 says jesus took on flesh. god cannot stop being god as the son but he could leave his divine attributes in heaven and come to earth as a slave man.

7. adam was formed from the dust. he wasnt divine but made in gods image as we are. jesus has always been the son of god. prov 30.4 to 6

8. sin is a crime against gods holiness. all crimes need to be paid for. rom 3 says the wages of sin is death. god told adam the day he ate he would die. he didnt physically but he did spiritually. god allowed the blood of animals to cover over the sins of the people until his perfect son came to not only cover over but to take away the sin of the world. john 1.29. an innocent person can pay for the crime of another. that is what jesus did. god forgives through his sons payment for us. accept christs payment and you are forgiven.

9. god as spirit cant die. but jesus took on flesh to be able to taste death for all of us. heb 2

10. no religion is true or needed. our faith is in a person, jesus christ. he is gods only begotten son and has been given for the life of the world, muslim, gentile, jewish, etc. jesus never mentioned relgion. he mentioned relationship and that is what god the father wants. adam and eve had no relgion but they had had relationship before their fall. groundwire.net

Most of your questions are based on misunderstandings. The Creator YHVH entered Miriam to be born the Savior YAHUSHUA. The 'wages' of sin is death, and someone had to pay. (like a traffic fine) YAHUSHUA kept Torah, and His followers will also. "Christianity' is heathenism, and is NOT the true religion.
