If Jesus was 100% God.?

It seems to me the remainder of your question has a slight bent towards Alexandrian Christology, which if taken to its extreme can lead to dynamic monarchianism, apollinarianism and possibly eutychianism. \n\nBasically all those things assert this. That though Jesus was fully God, and yet fully man, the dynamic monarchianists would assert that his divinity "swallowed up" or "consumed" his humanity so that he was not really, or essentially "human", therefore, it was the divine who suffered, and died rather than the humanity. \n\nThis is problematic however, since in His divine nature, he was that who maintained the cosmos, was omniscient and omnipresent, etc, but that it could not have been his divine nature who had suffered and died, for it would be logically inconsistent for the Logos (Word) to- as God, die, for Jesus declared himself (as God): "I am the way the truth and the LIFE", and in Him and through Him were all things wrought since the beginning of the world. \n\nHis humanity therefore was the only substance that could have on our behalf, suffered and died, and that it was through the empowerment of his human nature, by the divine nature that (was Life) that ressurected the body from the grave, for apart from the Logos (Life, the Word), there could have been no ressurection. \n\nIf you read the work "On the Incarnation of the Word" by Athanasius, in it, it is discussed that the cross was a befitting death for the God-man. It was by no means an underscored type death for one who was also fully man as well as God. For in His death, it was his humanity which suffered and died, not his divine nature.\n\nIn response to the pre-ordainment of the Temple and the events leading to the incident with Judas, again this relied on human agency (will) as well as the "media scientia" (middle knowledge)-where God knows all contingent effects from all and every act that could possibly exist. In other words, he knew what would happen if Judas betrayed him, and yet he also knew what would happen if Judas did not betray him.  \n\n--Hope that helps--

Yes! Totally! But I'm not Christian, I just think Jesus was a buddha or a boddhisattva. I would go through everything he went thought just to be that! The love, the wisdom, the compassion! The son of God. I wish I could spend eternity in that, or even a few years. That is worth everything. Yes, I would be Jesus!

If things were impossible for God, He wouldn't be God.\n\nNow people will turn a question like this into something that would test God (i.e. the famous "if God can do anything, can He create a rock so big He couldn't move it?").  The answer lies in the fact that while He *can* do anything and *nothing* is impossible with Him, he would not do something that contradicts His very nature and being because He is perfect.

Let's get one thing straight. The verses you quoted were statements made by Jesus; not Almighty God. The trinity doctrine that is widely taught in Christendom is really throwing you off. When Jesus is making these statements he's humbly acknowledging that in fact the "father" is greater than him. This is further reiterated in John 14:28. Why would almighty God who knows all things would not know for instance the day of Judgment?_Psalms 83:18 Notice that the scripture that you quoted (Mark 13:2) says in the 2nd part of the verse:"neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the "Father." Again this stresses that Jesus or the Son of God doesn't know the day, but his FATHER would know. Clearly this shows that Jehovah God and Jesus are two different people and that this shows a distinction between them. If Jesus and God were the same wouldn't Jesus know the day of Judgement too?\nThe many other statements that Jesus makes further show that he is not equal to his father._Philippians 2:6: "who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God."_1 Corinthians 11:3, John 20:17. Similiarly, no son is equal to his father or the same as him. Sure they may look alike, talk, or act alike but you recognize them as two separate entities not combined in one. In John 5:19 Jesus makes it clear that he doesn't do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he beholds the Father doing. Also whatever that One does he also does in like manner.\nAfter reasoning from the scriptures you can conclude that from your statements above, Jesus was not only recognizing his father as greater than he was but was giving his father praise and honor by giving him the credit. You can also conlcude that if you read the Bible nodenominationally you would not come to the conclusion that God is part of a trinity which is contradicted in the scriptures. Instead Christ is "one" with God (not literally) in that they are always in harmony with each other just like a husband and wife were to be one as in united together._Genesis 2:24. The trinity really blurs the relationship between God and Jesus and is a source of confusion for many.

This actually seems to prove what you ask, just think about it. You got me to thinking and it is really cool. People have asked, IF, Jesus was God how was He praying to Himself. Your question help me see this because I have never thought to put these two questions together. IF, God can be everywhere, then He was Jesus and God at the same time. God in Heaven and Jesus on Earth. Which would prove the Theory that God is Everywhere. I not sure if I answered your question, but, now I understand the Concept I have been hearing. God may have showed people His ability to be everywhere when as Jesus He Prayed to Himself (God) in another place, because He is everywhere. Thanks!

•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.\nThe Same God is the God of Jesus who was the God of Jacob and Moses (peace & blessings of God be upon all the three). The one God, beside whom, there is no God at all.\n\nJesus is not the inventor of Trinity. Nor he is presenting him as one of three Gods. Nor he is telling the One God as the third of the three gods. Instead, he is openly rejecting the concept of Trinity, which stands for the following three gods.\n\n1.The God of Moses____ Jehovah\n2.The word of God_____ Jesus\n3.Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost.\n\nThe Trinity is a baseless concept in terms of the Verse under reference, the verse 3 of the prayer.\n\nTorah says,\n“Remember This! The Lord and the Lord alone___ is our God.\nLove the Lord your god with all your heart,\nWith all your soul, and with all your strength.”\n(Deut 6:4-5)\n\n“Fear the Lord your God, worship only God,\nand make your promises in God’s name alone.\nDo not worship other gods,\nAny of the gods of the people around you.\nIf you do worship other gods,\nThe Lord’s anger will come against you\nLike fire and will destroy you completely,\nBecause the Lord your God,\nWho is present with you, tolerates no rivals.”\n(Deut 6:13-14-15)\n\n“God is a great god and (only) one to be feared.’\n(Deut 7:21)\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.\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\n•Jesus believed in the same God___ who was believed in__ by Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and all the prophets (peace &blessings of the LORD be upon all of them).\n\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)\nDuring 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

Yes! Finally after months someone makes sense! Original christianity (not bible version) was polytheistic. Jesus taught Gods! His father in heaven is supreme god (like Brahma), then there's son of god (cosmic christ), then there's the goddess Sophia, and the creator god (Ialdaboath), and many more gods. There is mention of 35 aeons (these are very high god/goddess pairs). This is what Jesus taught and even the NT gives away Jesus' polytheism. The orthodox christians wanted "one god" so they invented "the mystery of the holy trinity". Jesus was a Pagan polytheist, and there are extra-biblical scriptures which clearly state this.

Jesus, although perfect, was not God himself.  Jesus is the son of God, the first thing created by God. (See Hebrews 1:15)  The idea that Jesus is God, or the idea of the trinity, was introduced hundreds of years after Jesus' death as a human.\n\nIt is clear from Jesus' words and actions that he did not claim to be God or even equal to God.  For instance, he prayed to God while on earth (see Matthew 26:39) and he stated that God is greater than he is (see John 14:28).\n\nExodus 33:20 says that no person can see God and live.  This is not because of God's lack of sin, but rather because of his glory and brilliance.  Think of it...if God created all things, even such things containing as much energy as the sun, what would it be like to see God?  As stated in Exodus, we would not survive the experience.\n\nAs 1 Timothy 2:5 says, Jesus is the Mediator between humans and God.  Therefore, humans may address God directly in prayer.  However, it should be done so in Jesus' name, acknowledging him as our mediator.

What difference would it make? It's still the same deity. I think God is all genders, everything in general anyway.

if Jesus had not given up his life there would be no everlasting life. we would have been destroyed a long time ago. with no resurrection and no chance to to live in Gods kingdom.

Jesus was the light of the world. If you were to show the light you would show Jesus.

You ask a really good question. Jesus, God and the Holy spirit and all one in the same...I know...confusing...its one of those things that just require faith to believe in. But Jesus however, is still the Son of God. But when Jesus became man, he left that behind and was seperated from God. So he was praying to God in the garden, God his father.

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.

Jesus died as pure as He was when He was born.
