John 9:31-39\nAgain the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"  "We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God." \n\nJesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods'? If he called them 'gods,' to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken— what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own (Jesus) and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'?  Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does.  But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

The limbic system of your brain has corrupted your worldview, but that's to be expected in a very insecure universe.  People who are enlightened use their cerebral cortex to look for the creative side of life and for happiness here on earth during the short sojourn between the random event of birth and the random nothingness of death.

As a seeker of the truth and a student of life, and after many years of observation,\nResearch and comparative study, it appears to me that people often base their beliefs and judgments\nOn weak, sandy foundations. Rather than on the solid foundations of rock that Jesus recommended.\nConcerning the topic at hand, I have noticed some major differences between what is\ncommonly and officially understood about god in Christianity, and what the Bible itself states!\nIn this booklet, I would like to share with you-out of love and concern what I have noticed and\nLearned through my continuous journey of research, analysis, and study.\nThe intent of this work is to honestly and sincerely present the truth that I found, not to\nHurt the feelings of anyone.\nNow let us turn to discuss some issues and questions concerning the nature of god In Christianity,\nnamely the trinity and divinity of Jesus.\nJesus said "Seek the truth and the truth will set you free"\nIs God one or three?\nIs Jesus God or part of God?\nWhat do you think??\nWhat is your answer??\nLet us get the answer from the Bible:\nOne came and said unto him, Good Master, what good\nThing shall I do. That I may have eternal life? And he(Jesus)\nSaid unto him, why callest thou me good*? There is none good\nBut one, that is, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the\nCommandments.\n(Matthew 19:16-17)\n\n*Why callest thou me good? Or in modern English " why do you call me good "we\nWould not find this wording and meaning in some Bible! This text is found in king James\nVersion. Don`t take my word for it! Chick your Bible!\nSeveral questions can be asked about the above verses. Some of the more intuitive ones are:\n>"why do you call me good?" why did Jesus question his own goodness?\n>Jesus emphatically stated that "there is none good but one, that is, God"\nWhy did he refer to the one God as the " good" one only?\n>Why did he exclude himself from being good, if he were God?\n>Jesus explicitly pointed out that " if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."\nWhy didn`t Jesus command the questioner to believe in him (Jesus) as God in order\nTo enter into eternal life?\n>Based on Jesus` testimony, Isn`t keeping the commandments enough for getting\nEternal life?\nNow, let us re-read verses of Matthew (19:16-17) as stated in King James\nVersion and the same verses as reported in the New International Version\nOf the HOLY BIBLE.\nPDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com\nOne came and said unto . him, Good Master, what good\nThing shall I do. That I may have eternal life? And he\nSaid unto him, why callest thou me good? There is none good\nBut one, that is, God.\n(in king James version)\n.Now a man came up to Jesus and asked "Teacher, what\ngood thing must I do to get eternal life?"\n"why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied.\n"there is only one who is good. If you want to enter life,\nobey the commandments."\n(in the new international version) .\nTo make is easy to compare, here are Jesus` two different questions:\nAccording to King James version (KJV), in simple English, Jesus asked:\n*Why do you CALL ME GOOD?\nBut, according to the New International Version (NIV), Jesus said:\n*Why do you ASK ME ABOUT WHAT IS GOOD?\nPlease honestly camper between Jesus` question in the King James Version and\nHis questions in the New International Version. Do they have the same\nMeaning? Can they both be correct?\nGoing back to the critical question, Is Jesus God?, I think that if Jesus\nWere God or part of God, his logical response would be to approve of what the\nQuestioner called him (i.e., "Good Master").\nSound reasoning and plain logic tell us that God is good. And if Jesus were\nGod or part of God (part of the Trinity) he MUST BE GOOD! Don`t\nyou agree?\nPresumably, some of the possible, expected response that Jesus cold utter in r

There is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (peace be upon him) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me".\n\nAnd why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" Luke 6:46 \n\n"Indeed they reject the truth, those that say "God is Christ, the son of Mary." For indeed, Christ said, worship God, who is my God and your God (Quran 5:75)."

Jesus was telling his people that he was teaching the true spiritual way to God.\nAnd also saying that the religion had been corrupt, listen to what he teaches and follow his example in life.\nNot to think he was a GOD!! That would be a sin.\nNot sure if anyone remembers but he was on a quest to go back and follow the old ways.\nHe was trying to teach people the old ways, and you all screwed it up!

Who do you think comprised the multitudes that followed Him on Earth? As for the majority of the Jews: "He came unto his own, and his own received him not." (John 1:11)  It wasn't His fault that the Jews didn't believe that He was who He said He was. In Matthew 16:16-17, Peter affirms that Jesus is the Son of God, and Christ calls him blessed for it. Not sure why you feel that Jesus did not try to convince the Jews of His identity.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE "TRINITY"\n\n1st of all Jesus said: He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Joh 6:56, 57.\n\nJesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” (Joh 1:14; 3:16, 18) does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well. (Ge 6:2, 4; Job 1:6) However, by virtue of his being the sole direct creation of his Father, the firstborn Son was unique, different from all others of God’s sons, all of whom were created or begotten by Jehovah through that firstborn Son. So “the Word” was Jehovah’s “only-begotten Son” in a particular sense,\n\nJesus is also “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father.” This does not mean that he usurps the authority and position of Jehovah, who is “God our Father.” (2 Corinthians 1:2) “He [Jesus] . . . gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.” (Philippians 2:6) He is called Mighty God, not Almighty God. Jesus never thought of himself as God Almighty, for he spoke of his Father as “the only true God,” that is, the only God who should be worshiped. (John 17:3;\n\nDoes the Bible teach that all who are said to be part of the Trinity are eternal, none having a beginning?\n\nRev. 1:1; 3:14, RS: “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him .  Why did God have to give Jesus the revelation, if Jesus is God?\n\nDoes the Bible teach that none of those who are said to be included in the Trinity is greater or less than another, that all are equal, that all are almighty? Mark 13:32, RS: “Of that day or that hour no ones knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Of course, that would not be the case if Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were coequal, comprising one Godhead. And if, as some suggest, the Son was limited by his human nature from knowing, the question remains, Why did the Holy Spirit not know?)\n\nJohn 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”\n\n1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven. \n\nA person who is really seeking to know the truth about God is not going to search the Bible hoping to find a text that he can construe as fitting what he already believes. He wants to know what God’s Word itself says. He may find some texts that he feels can be read in more than one way, but when these are compared with other Biblical statements on the same subject their meaning will become clear. It should be noted at the outset that most of the texts used as “proof” of the Trinity actually mention only two persons, not three; so even if the Trinitarian explanation of the texts were correct, these would not prove that the Bible teaches the Trinity.\n\nI COULD GO ON & ON WITH SCRIPTURES & EXPLANATIONS, BUT I THINK THIS ALREADY TO LONG FOR SOME PEOPLE.

God answers prayers of those people that have gotten right with God and have God first in their heart, Its a relationship. Signs of existance hmmmm how about us and the earth. Or do you think this was an accident, the human body is so complex it cant be just by chance!Have lots of doubts about God, Jesus, or the Bible? Most people who think about this do wonder "How do I know that what the Bible says is true?" At ---, we think that this is an excellent question deserving an excellent answer, and that's what we provide in our "Facts Behind the Faith" seminar. Contrary to what you may have heard, God doesn't ever expect us to have "blind faith." He has always proven what He has said, and He's done that conclusively. The only thing that separates Christianity from every other religion is that it can PROVE what it says to be true. No other religion can. We can prove logically, scientifically, and archaeologically that God must exist, that the Bible is directly from God, that Jesus was God's Son, and even that He rose from the dead. Sound impossible? Then you owe it to yourself to force us to prove it. We guarantee that you'll be amazed at what you learn, and you deserve PROOF. Let us give you some  Go to this site and check out the simnars

Hannibal Lecktor said, "...if you do as God does, enough times, you become as God is."\n\nWell, that is a twisted truth. Hey, it's Lecktor, what do you expect? But basically, God made man and gave him an incredible authority, that of being a "judge". As a judge you are exercising power much like God--that is, as judge and arbiter over men's lives. This was an awesome responisbility. Now look at the Psalm you sited closely and in context...\n\nWhat sets God apart?\nGod stands in the congregation of the mighty;\nHe judges among the gods.\n\nWas God satisfied with their judgments?\nHow long will you judge unjustly,\nAnd show partiality to the wicked? \n\nGod gave them a great responsibility...\nI said, “You are gods,\nAnd all of you are children of the Most High.\n\nBut did they live up to the task? NO!\nBut you shall die like men,\nAnd fall like one of the princes.\n\nThe Pharisees knew the scriptures up and down, inside and out. When He said, "It is written", the Pharisees would pride themselves on knowing the full scripture, its context, and what early sages said about it. When Jesus said, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"' What the Pharisee would immediately recognize is that in judging Jesus of being a blasphemer, they were not fulfilling their role as proper judges and would die as men due to mishandling their office. Jesus would only be a blasphemer if He wasn't GOD, and so He told them to judge by the works He did since they would validate His claim.\n\nIt's a toughy, but you have to put yourself in the place of the Pharisees listening to Him. It was a real jaw dropper for them. Notice they did not say much after that.

During his preaching, Jesus had never called himself as God or Son-God. Now, look upon those people who consider Jesus as God or Son-God. They are, baselessly, blaming even those people who were present at the spot and knew that Jesus was not God or son-god. In other words, the people with the belief that Jesus is God or Son-god; are far more enemies of Jesus who tried to crucify him.\n\n•The people who say that Jesus is God or Son-God or in his guise, the Lord descended upon earth because of God’s love for humanity. They are, baselessly, blaming Jesus and the Lord of Jesus, the both.\nAccording to Jesus, God, the Holy One; is the Saviour of the Whole mankind. God is capable (be God glorified as God is) to relive off every infliction. None of the human beings is saviour beside God. Jesus, himself is also, not a saviour at all. The people who have chosen him as their saviour__ they have denied the Holy One___ who alone is the saviour of Jesus and whole mankind and the act of choosing Jesus as saviour__ is equal to hate the Holy One___ as it is clearly written in the old Testament:-\n\n“I am the Lord your God. Worship no God but Me. Do not make for yourself images of anything in heavens or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it. Because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me, on their descendants, down to third and fourth generation.”\n(Exodus 20:1-5)\n\nNow, ponder over the point that whosoever says that Jesus is God___ Holy Spirit is God___ Mary is God; has he not made an idol beside the One God? While nothing is there in the earth and heavens which could be considered in terms of the One God.\n\nBeware please! A father is a father__ a mother is a mother___ and a son is a son__ and they all are the creatures of God. They cannot be considered as God___ as god is their Creator__ and nothing is like the Lord.\n\nCreatures of God are God’s Creatures they can never be considered as God or as the parts of God. Same is the case of Jesus who is a creature and, as such, can not be considered as God or a part of the Creator or the son of Creator.\n\n•Jesus is not a Saviour. He is not capable, even, to save himself from his enemies. How he can be considered “All-Able” to save everyone on the earth. It is the Lord alone__ Who is the All-Able to save every creature of the universe including the mankind__ as the Lord is already saving__ each of them__ without any desolation and defect.\n\nJesus was born after Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Moses and the numerous other Prophets (peace & blessings of God be upon all of them). If he were the Son-God, then, all of the foregoing Prophets, must have been the believers of Trinity. But the case is not like that at all. None of them was the believer of Trinity, rather, none of them, had, even, heard about the name of Trinity, in their times. Hence, Trinity is nothing else but an invented and artificial concept which has no existence, even, during the time of Jesus. It is, therefore, a rootless concept from all accounts.\n\nPrior to Jesus, the Lord had created Eve, without mother__ and Adam, without mother and father, the both. Afterwards, the Lord created Jesus without father. So the creation of Jesus, without father, is the third instance of the Lord’s all-encompassing creativity___ which is free from all the channels or systems of the birth. Instead, all the channels or systems of the birth are subservient to the all-encompassing and unique creativity of the Lord.\nThe Lord is, therefore, Holy and the Lord must be believed in, as Holy. To ascribe a son unto the Lord__ is a direct assault on the Lord’s Holiness__ which is an unpardonable crime.\n\nsince Adam to Noah__ Noah to Abraham__ Abraham to David, David to Moses__ Moses to Jesus and Jesus to Muhammad (peace & blessings of God be upon all of them) all the Prophets were slaves or servants of the Lord.

I can understand your confusion. No problem asking for clarification, so don't feel like you need to apologize.\n\nMt.20:23-\nJesus made it clear that He had a mission, and the Father had particular tasks as well as the Holy Spirit. Example, Jesus does not know the hour of His return, only the Father. This is a direct parallel the the Jewish wedding. While Jesus was on earth in bodily form, He is unable to be with everyone at once--this is the role of the Holy Spirit. Jesus made it clear that who sits where is a role that is the Father's only.\n\nMk 6:5\nJesus did not do miracles to those who wanted parlor tricks. Jesus would only do miracles for those who had the faith in Him. Look at his meeting with Harod. Harod was glad to see Jesus and hoped that He would do a miracle for him, but Jesus would not. God's plan was not to "impress" people. Jesus had specific reasons for doing and not doing miracles. Jesus was in His hometown and everyone questioned Him and doubted His authority. He could have done a big SPFX thing, but that would not bring the kind of faith and belief He desired. Who was the person that Jesus was most impressed with? The Centurion who said, "Just say the word, Jesus and my servant will be healed." Jesus marveled and basically said, in effect, "This is the faith I have been looking for!"\n\nMt.28:18\nThis is true. And He weilds that power as He sees fit. From my experiences, He does it with a whisper and not a shout.\n\nI hope this answers your questions. You might glean much from my studies.

This is a difficult question, and I'm not sure I can answer it all satisfactorily, but I think I can help.  \n\nWith the first part, 'no other gods,' Christians don't believe that Jesus is another god, but rather the same one.  Two different facets of the same God (with the Holy Spirit being the third).  What's more, you know that in Genesis, God speaks in the plural 'let's go do this.'  Also, the Hebrew word for God - elohim - is also plural.\n\nSecond, it is true that Jesus never called himself 'God the Son.'  The way he speaks of himself as 'the son of God,' however, is unique.  He says, "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him" (Luke 10:22).  Also, he is called by the Greek word for "one and only son", "mono-genes", means literally, "one in kind, unique."  This seems to contradict the view that we are all sons and daughters of God on the same level as Jesus.  Finally, in John 15:15, Jesus says "I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father."  God is the only person to whom we (humanity in general) could ever reasonably be called slaves.  How could we have been 'slaves' to Christ is he weren't also God?\n\nOne more word on the Trinity: God sent "his spirit" down onto "his son."  Additionally, in Matthew 28:18-20 it's said, "Then Jesus approached and said to them, 'All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.'"\n\nIn the early Church, the Jews celebrated the Sabbath on Saturday, and then Christ's resurrection on Sunday.  The gentiles who entered the Church, however, didn't celebrate the Sabbath, but only the resurrection.  Eventually, the Church accumulated more gentiles, and observation of the Sabbath was fell out, leaving only the celebration of Christ's resurrection.\n\nIn a sense, Paul is claiming to speak for Jesus, but this is warrented.  He is relaying Christ's message, or the spirit of it, to us.  First, recall that although Jesus appeared a second time for Thomas, on that occasion he said "But blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."  Now if they have not seen, how can they believe?  How can they even know about the resurrection?  Obviously, someone has to tell them, someone has to speak for Christ.  Someone like Paul, or any of the apostles.  What is more, that is the mission Jesus gave them.  He sent them out as missionaries to go to the Jews and then to the gentiles.  They were, in essence, his ambassadors to the world.  They spoke for him because he wanted them to; that was their task.  Now, to reconcile the two paths to heaven that you mentioned.  If you truly believe that Jesus is lord and that he rose from death and that he died as sacrifice for our sins as Paul says, then how could we not "love God, love our neighbor, help the poor?"  If we say we believe and yet don't try to do these things, then despite what we may say, we don't truly believe.  The two go hand in hand.

It's sad because they are so confused and brainwashed.. How crazy it is to utter the Trinity but when you show them proof from their very own Book the tap dance around or they'll say no, no he was not God but the son of God, but when they refer to Jesus the say thy Lord and Saviour, and again it's just confusion. Also in their Bible God say he is not the Author of confusion so why are they so confused is my question? The answer lies with those 32 Bible Scholar who change the words of God (i.e. Bible) and replaced it with falsehood as to lead the people astray.

According to the Bible, Jesus is God, and has always been God.  But in order to accomplish the salvation of man, He laid aside that right, and took a position that was less then God - that of His Son - and humbled Himself to God as His Father being obedient even to the point of dying on the cross.  Because of that, He was raised from the dead and returned to the position of full Godship with His Father.  (Read Phillippians 2: 6-11).\n\nIn the Jewish culture that Jesus lived, to term translated "the son of..." was a legal term that referred to someone who had all the rights and power of their father.  To refer to Jesus as "the son of God" meant the He had all the rights and power of God.  It is differrent that what we think of when we hear the English term "the son of...".  This is why during Jesus' trial before the Jews, when He referred to Himself as "the son of God", the high priest torn his garment and called him a blasphemer, because He made Himself equal with God.\n\nYou may debate all day whether or not Jesus was divine, but there is no room for debate over whether the Bible SAYS Jesus was divine.  There are hundreds of refers to His divinity in it.\n\nSo the answer is: Jesus, by claiming to be the Son of God, was claiming to be God.  They are the same thing.

1st of all Jesus said:  He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Joh 6:56, 57.\n\nJesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” (Joh 1:14; 3:16, 18) does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well.

I know what you're saying and to try to expain it to a non-believer is like trying to explain blue to a blind man. Without faith is it impossible to please God because first you must believe that he is. The same goes for Jesus you must believe that he is who he says that he is. And yes He did say that he was the son of God and He said it to a man that was blind until he healed him, John 9:35-41 Let everyone read it for them selves. And by receiving worship from the blind man He was also showing that He was God because only God is worhty of worship. Genesis 1:26 Who is our ?  God said, Let us make man in our image.

I know that my Redeemer lives, and His name is Jesus Christ. As it is written: "Jesus answered, if I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, "He is our God"; yet you have not come to know Him; but I know Him; and if I say I do not know Him, I shall be a liar like you, but I do know Him,and keep His word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." The Jews therefore said to Him, "you are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"  Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM" (John 8:54-59)

Jesus was Never God the Father or God the Son, Nor did he or his Disciples say that he was God! Rather he was the SON OF God!. Some questions to reason on: \n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in Mark 12:29 Jesus said "Here, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord."\n\nThe words "our God" indicate that Jesus had a higher God over him, a stronger God than him. Jesus didn't say "Your God". He said "our God" which includes Jesus as the creation of GOD.\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in John 20:17 Jesus said I ascend to my God and your God? This tells us that Jesus and we have a common GOD. John also tells us that the Only True God, Yahweh, is not only our God and Father, but He is also the God and Father of our Messiah, Yahoshua.\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in John 14:28 Jesus said "My Father (GOD) is greater than I"?\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in Luke 23:46 Jesus said "Father (GOD), into thy hands I commend my spirit"?\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 19:16 Jesus said "Why call me good, there is none good but One,\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 26:39 Jesus begged his GOD to have mercy on him and to pass the cup to death (kill Jesus in another words) before Jesus goes through the pain of crucifixion?\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in John 18:38 he didn't reply when he was asked about the truth?\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 24:36 Jesus told his followers that no one (including Jesus) knows when the judgment day will come, only GOD knows?\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in Isaiah 11:2-3 GOD had put the spirit of fearing GOD in Jesus?\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in John 5:31 Jesus told his followers that if he (Jesus) bears witness of himself, then his record is not true?\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in John 5:30 Jesus told his followers that he can't do a single thing of his own initiative?\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in John 5:32 Jesus told his followers that they have never seen GOD at anytime nor ever heard his voice?\n\nIf Jesus was GOD, then why in Matthew 26:39 Jesus fell on his face and prayed to his GOD?\n\nThe "God" (theos in Greek) title literally with Jesus in Isiah 9:6 and they don't take it literally for the rest of the prophets and people who were called Gods?\n\nKing David in Psalm 45:3 Note: The only unique title given to GOD in the Bible that was not given to others at all are Jehovah, GOD, and GOD LORD. "God", "Most Mighty" and "Almighty One" are titles that were given to Jesus, other Prophets and to Satan himself in the Bible.\n\nIf Jesus is also equal to his father in terms of God-ship, why at John 17:1, 3 in prayer to his father (God) that he refers to his father as the “ONLY true God”. John tells us according to the Savior Himself that the Father is the 'Only True God,' NOT the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit but the Father ALONE is the Only True God.\n\nFinally, John ends his gospel; by telling us the reason for his writing it. So that we might believe that Jesus is part of a mystery god made up of 2 or 3 different beings? NO, not at all, but rather the reason he wrote his gospel was to prove to us that Jesus is the Messiah (Christ) \nJohn 20:30 Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:  John 20:31 but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.
