Apparently he is not in Heaven. Note: If Jesus Christ was the Son of God and equal with God then this must be true for he could not lie or misslead. Then just who was John the Baptist that was apparently not saved by God or he would be in heaven.

I don't know who told you that he's not in Heaven. He did die, and we believe that if a person who has put their trust in Jesus (which he had) dies, they go to Heaven.\n\nSo we believe that when he was beheaded (I think that's what happened, my history's a little bad), he went to Heaven, yes, but that doesn't mean he became God. I don't know if that's what you're getting at (your question's a little hard to understand).\n\nHope I helped.

I would go to heaven, because I have accepted Christ as my lord and savior. You see, heaven is a free gift. It is not earned and can not be deserved.  "For it is by grace that you are saved through faith. it is the gift of God, not of man, that none may boast."Eph 2 8-9 It has to be a free gift because man is a sinner. "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Rom 3:23 Anything that is against God's will is considered sin. There are sins of thought, omission, and commission.  God gave a standard we must achieve if we wish to earn our way into heaven According to Matt 5:48, that standard  is " Be therefore perfect as your father in heaven is perfect."  That definitely leaves me out. Our God is merciful, and does not want to punish us, but He is just and must punish sin. This apparent problem was solved by Jesus - who is 100% God and 100% man. What did He do? He died on the cross, rose from the dead, and purchased a place in heaven for us. Does everyone receive this gift? No - the key to heaven is faith. Not temporal faith - like praying when you have a sick loved one , not head knowledge - many people believe that Jesus lived, much as they believe that George Washington lived. However, they are not counting on him to do anything for them today. Scripture tells us "You believe there is one God? You do well. The demons believe as much - and tremble!" James 2:9 No - the key to heaven is saving faith - asking Jesus to save you from the penalty of your sins. If this is what you want to do, ask Him to be your lord. Ask him to be your savior. Repent of your sins, and be a new creation!

Jesus was sent down as a Prophet of (God), but he (Jesus) is not God or Lord, nor the son of God. Jesus was never killed or was ever crucified. He was raised to heaven and is there, and will descend at the appointed time, end all wars, and bring peace to the world.

Jesus told us very clearly about God, and that he is REAL, many people question Jesus as the son of God, but all those miracles he performed were to prove it. so, as he is telling the truth, there is a God. You need faith.

Is Jesus Christ actually God?\n\nJohn 17:3, RS: “[Jesus prayed to his Father:] This is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God [“who alone art truly God,” NE], and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.” (Notice that Jesus referred not to himself but to his Father in heaven as “the only true God.”)\n\nJohn 20:17, RS: “Jesus said to her [Mary Magdalene], ‘Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” (So to the resurrected Jesus, the Father was God, just as the Father was God to Mary Magdalene. Interestingly, not once in Scripture do we find the Father addressing the Son as “my God.”)\n\nDoes John 1:1 prove that Jesus is God?\n\nJohn 1:1, RS: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God [also KJ, JB, Dy, Kx, NAB].” NE reads “what God was, the Word was.” Mo says “the Logos was divine.” AT and Sd tell us “the Word was divine.” The interlinear rendering of ED is “a god was the Word.” NW reads “the Word was a god”; NTIV uses the same wording.\n\nWhat is it that these translators are seeing in the Greek text that moves some of them to refrain from saying “the Word was God”? The definite article (the) appears before the first occurrence of the·os´ (God) but not before the second. The articular (when the article appears) construction of the noun points to an identity, a personality, whereas a singular anarthrous (without the article) predicate noun before the verb (as the sentence is constructed in Greek) points to a quality about someone. So the text is not saying that the Word (Jesus) was the same as the God with whom he was but, rather, that the Word was godlike, divine, a god. (See 1984 Reference edition of NW, p. 1579.)\n\nWhat did the apostle John mean when he wrote John 1:1? Did he mean that Jesus is himself God or perhaps that Jesus is one God with the Father? In the same chapter, verse 18, John wrote: “No one [“no man,” KJ, Dy] has ever seen God; the only Son [“the only-begotten god,” NW], who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.” (RS) Had any human seen Jesus Christ, the Son? Of course! So, then, was John saying that Jesus was God? Obviously not. Toward the end of his Gospel, John summarized matters, saying: “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, [not God, but] the Son of God.”—John 20:31, RS.\n\nDoes Thomas’ exclamation at John 20:28 prove that Jesus is truly God?\n\nJohn 20:28 (RS) reads: “Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’”\n\nThere is no objection to referring to Jesus as “God,” if this is what Thomas had in mind. Such would be in harmony with Jesus’ own quotation from the Psalms in which powerful men, judges, were addressed as “gods.” (John 10:34, 35, RS; Ps. 82:1-6) Of course, Christ occupies a position far higher than such men. Because of the uniqueness of his position in relation to Jehovah, at John 1:18 (NW) Jesus is referred to as “the only-begotten god.” (See also Ro, By.) Isaiah 9:6 (RS) also prophetically describes Jesus as “Mighty God,” but not as the Almighty God. All of this is in harmony with Jesus’ being described as “a god,” or “divine,” at John 1:1 (NW, AT).\n\nThe context helps us to draw the right conclusion from this. Shortly before Jesus’ death, Thomas had heard Jesus’ prayer in which he addressed his Father as “the only true God.” (John 17:3, RS) After Jesus’ resurrection Jesus had sent a message to his apostles, including Thomas, in which he had said: “I am ascending . . . to my God and your God.” (John 20:17, RS) After recording what Thomas said when he actually saw and touched the resurrected Christ, the apostle John stated: “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.” (Jo

The answer to your question is a resounding, yes, and He still does.  He is NOT dead.  He is Resurrected from the dead.  No other human that has ever existed throughout all history can claim this act.  This is what differentiates Jesus as the True Messiah, as truly Divine, while all others are fakes, imposters and mere men.  \n\nAlso, since He now exists, you have the privilege to call upon His Name, and He will audibly answer you.  If you desire in your heart an actual relationship with Christ, He says, "Knock and I will answer," for he is the Door.\n\nIt amazes me how people today are so skeptical and jaded that they are actually preventing themselves from acquiring "wholeness" in Christ.  That was the whole purpose behind His Redemptive Deed upon the Cross, to reconcile us (our fallen sin nature) back to the Father.  He is our Salvation.  His resurrection created a Door through which we may re-attain in us what was lost by the Great Primordial Fall when we became divorced from God (the Great Divorce).  The process of accepting Christ Yeshua (Jesus) as your personal Savior is a “Rebirth” where you are spiritually “rewired” and “reconnected” back to the Godhead of Father, Son and Holy Spirit through Christ’s ultimate act of Love, the giving up of His mortal life for your sins.\n\nFollowing is the proof of Christ’s existence and divinity:\n\nWhy believe in Christianity over all other religions? \n\n         Critics often ask why Christianity is any better than any other religion in the world.  After all, of all the religions that exist how can it be that only Christianity is true?  If God exists, why can't God use different religions?  Don't all paths lead to God? These kinds of questions are asked all the time of Christians and unfortunately the answers aren't always very good ones particularly when dealing with people who have a relativistic truth base and don't believe in absolutes.\n     Therefore, in an attempt to demonstrate why Christianity is true and all other religious systems are false, I've prepared the following list of reasons for Christianity's superiority.    \nThere are such things as absolute truths \n     If truth is relative, then the statement that truth is relative is an absolute truth and would be self defeating statement by proving that truth is not relative.  But, if truth is absolute, then the statement "truth is absolute" is true and not self defeating.  It is true that truth exists.  It is true that truth will not contradict itself as we have just seen.  In fact, it is absolutely true that you are reading this paper.\n     If we can see that there is such a thing as truth in the world, then we could also see that there can be spiritual truth as well.  It is not absurd to believe in spiritual absolutes anymore than physical or logical absolutes.  Even the statement that all religions lead to God is a statement held to be a spiritual absolute by many people.  This simply demonstrates that people do believe in spiritual truth.  Why?  Because truth exists.  However, not all that is believed to be true actually is true.  Therefore, all belief systems cannot be true since they often contradict each other in profound ways. \nReligions contradict each other; therefore, they cannot all be true. \n     Mormonism teaches that there are many gods in existence and that you can become a god.  Christianity teaches that there is only one God and you cannot become a god.  Islam teaches that Jesus is not God in flesh where Christianity does.  Jesus cannot be both God and not God at the same time.  Some religions teach that we reincarnate while others do not.  Some teach there is a hell and others do not. They cannot all be true.  If they cannot all be true, it cannot be true that all religions lead to God.  Furthermore, it means that some religions are, at the very least, false in their claims to reveal the true God (or gods).  Remember, truth does

In the fairy taile, The Bible, Jesus wasn't God.  He was the son of God, and as the son of Mary, half human, which entitles him to go to hell just like the rest of us (if it actually existed, that is).

He could not have done what happened in the upper room at the last supper.\n\nBecause he wasnt put to deaeth yet.  "If I go not away the helper will not come"\n\nIf He didnt die, there would have been no holy spirit.  The upper room was the receiving of the spirit, not the 1st church service!\n\nRead John and Acts again\n\nDavid

Isn't Jesus the SON of God?
201488
It is a false belief that Jesus was God or was the only son of God. God cannot make himself die. Also He does not deceive people. He sends reformers who tell the truth about God. Jesus called him father only because he loves us all like a father loves his children, that does not make the God actual father of Jesus.\n\nThis is a fact too, that Jesus did not die on cross as he was put on cross for such a shorter time the he did not die. His wounds were cured after he was take off of it. Why would a person tried to be cured if he is dead? Read Bible and you will find the truth about Crucifixion. Christians do not want to use their brains in this matter, otherwise a sensible person can simple understand that he did not die on cross. Why do they think, he died? Only because they do not find the traces of Jesus after crucifixion. My question to them is that in such a case where did Marry go? Did Jesus's deciples thrown her into no where and not care about her? Some researchers had tried to bring the facts into the knowledge of those who really want to know the truth, instead of just following the wrong belief.

Here it goes Mr. Paradox, you inquiring mind, you. \nJesus was saying in this verse that John was part of the age of the old covenant. You know the LAW that God made with the Israelites at Mount Sinai? (Exodus 20:1-17)\nAs great as John was in the age of the old covenant, even the least person in the age of the new covenant is greater than John by being "in Christ". (Saved by grace, washed in the blood).\nThe New Testament church is the "bride of Christ". John the Baptist was only a "friend of the bridegroom". John 3:29\nWe as New Testament believers are participants of what John was only able to prophecy about. Praise the Lamb!

Jesus (God) came to this earth as a man and lived and was crucified, for our sins. ( a debt we couldn't pay) On the third day He rose again and is now in heaven where He is prepairing a place for all who believe (trust, follow, cling to, serve) in Him.  \n\nRespectfully submitted, Allah is not the God of the Bible. The Jesus of the Qur'ân is not the Jesus of the Bible. He was not a prophet, He is God.

I know someone gave you the scripture for John ,10:30 but that is not enough you need to read the 17th chapter of St John where Jesus is praying to the Father to be able to get the context because many people use this verse to say Jesus is God and that is not true.he was the only begotten Son of God, he was the word of God in the beginning but he is not God.

Calm down take a deep breath there. And Jesus did actually exist He is spoken of in Greek manuscripts of the day not only the bible. He is confirmed as existing, what You wish him to be is your choice free will and all, but he existed. Hope that helps ~A~

Jesus is not God. He never claimed to be God. At John 3:17, does it say that God came to earth? No. It says that God sent his Son, not himself.\n\nThe scripture you used at John 8:58 is another trinitarian "proof" that Jesus is God. But is it? The expression at John 8:58 is quite different from the one used at Exodus 3:14. Jesus did not use it as a name or a title but as a means of explaining his prehuman existence. Hence, note how some other Bible versions render John 8:58. \n\n1869: "From before Abraham was, I have been." The New Testament, by G. R. Noyes. \n \n1935: "I existed before Abraham was born!" The Bible—An American Translation, by J. M. P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed. \n \n1965: "Before Abraham was born, I was already the one that I am." Das Neue Testament, by Jörg Zink. \n \n1981: "I was alive before Abraham was born!" The Simple English Bible. \n \n1984: "Before Abraham came into existence, I have been." New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.  \n\nThus, the real thought of the Greek used here is that God's created "firstborn," Jesus, had existed long before Abraham was born. Colossians 1:15; Proverbs 8:22, 23, 30; Revelation 3:14. \n\nAgain, the context shows this to be the correct understanding. This time the Jews wanted to stone Jesus for claiming to "have seen Abraham" although, as they said, he was not yet 50 years old. (Verse 57) Jesus' natural response was to tell the truth about his age. So he naturally told them that he "was alive before Abraham was born!\n\nThere is no Bible verse that says Jesus is Almighty God.
