When did God become the Father of Jesus?

Many Christians begin to learn about the Trinity through knowledge of Baptism. This is also a starting point for others in comprehending why the doctrine matters to so many Christians, even though the doctrine itself teaches that the being of God is beyond complete comprehension. The Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed are structured around profession of the Trinity, and are solemnly professed by converts to Christianity when they receive baptism, and in the Church's liturgy, particularly when celebrating the Eucharist. One or both of these creeds are often used as brief summations of Christian faith by mainstream denominations.\n\nOne God\nGod is one, and the Godhead a single being: The Hebrew Scriptures lift this one article of faith above others, and surround it with stern warnings against departure from this central issue of faith, and of faithfulness to the covenant God had made with them. "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD" (Deuteronomy 6:4) (the Shema), "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Deuteronomy 5:7) and, "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel and his redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6). Any formulation of an article of faith which does not insist that God is solitary, that divides worship between God and any other, or that imagines God coming into existence rather than being God eternally, is not capable of directing people toward the knowledge of God, according to the trinitarian understanding of the Old Testament. The same insistence is found in the New Testament: "...there is none other God but one" (1 Corinthians 8:4). The "other gods" warned against are therefore not gods at all, but substitutes for God, and so are, according to St. Paul, simply mythological or are demons.\n\nSo, in the trinitarian view, the common conception which thinks of the Father and Christ as two separate beings, is incorrect. The central, and crucial affirmation of Christian faith is that there is one savior, God, and one salvation, manifest in Jesus Christ, to which there is access only because of the Holy Spirit. The God of the Old is still the same as the God of the New. In Christianity, it is understood that statements about a solitary god are intended to distinguish the Hebraic understanding from the polytheistic view, which see divine power as shared by several separate beings, beings which can, and do, disagree and have conflicts with each other. The concept of Many comprising One is quite visible in the Gospel of John, chapter 17, verses 20 through 23.\n\nGod exists in three persons\n\nThe "Shield of the Trinity" or "Scutum Fidei" diagram of traditional Western Christian symbolism.This one God however exists in three persons, or in the Greek hypostases. God has but a single divine nature. Chalcedonians — Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants — hold that, in addition, the Second Person of the Trinity — God the Son, Jesus — assumed human nature, so that he has two natures (and hence two wills), and is really and fully both true God and true human.\n\n\nThe singleness of God's being and the multiplicity of the Divine Persons together account for the nature of Christian salvation, and disclose the gift of eternal life. "Through the Son we have access to the Father in one Spirit" (Ephesians 2:18). Communion with the Father is the goal of the Christian faith and is eternal life. It is given to humans through the Divine union with humanity in Jesus Christ who, although fully God, died for sinners "in the flesh" to accomplish their redemption, and this forgiveness, restoration, and friendship with God is made accessible through the gift to the Church of the Holy Spirit, who, being God, knows the Divine Essence intimately and leads and empowers the Christian to fulfill the will of God. Thus, this doctrine touches on every aspect of the tr

John was baptized in the Holy Spirit in Elizabeth's womb. Other Prophets had the Spirit come & go. Other Prophets foretold of Messiah to come, John introduced Him to the world, saying, "Behold the Lamb Of God, that taketh away the sin of the world."

Jesus is the son of God.

God the Father send Jesus the Son.\n\nThere is ONE true God made up of the Holy Trinity.

This is good question by asked you. Jesus was sent only as a prophet to spread the message of good. He was born with out father that was the Gods's miracle only as he also created Eve with out a women and Adam with out man and women. so that's the God's miracle he shows us time by time. But it does not mean we consider his prophets beloved perons as God.

IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO JESUS AS THE ALMIGHTY GOD, what i say, NO HE IS NOT.\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. So the truth here stated applies to the relationship between God and Christ in heaven.)\n\nThe Hebrew word Shad·dai´ and the Greek word Pan·to·kra´tor are both translated “Almighty.” Both original-language words are repeatedly applied to Jehovah, the Father. (Ex. 6:3; Rev. 19:6) Neither expression is ever applied to either the Son or the holy spirit.\n\n“I am God Almighty,” said Jehovah to Abram (Abraham) almost 4,000 years ago. “Walk before me and prove yourself faultless. And I will give my covenant between me and you, that I may multiply you very, very much.” \n\nIs 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.”)

No. What kind of superior God is when he has a son? God has a son? Then he is no different from other creatures. Jesus is born of Mary and without a father.

No, there is absolutely no proof of that, but lets add things up.  Jesus is 'God the Son', part of the trinity of God.  He comes to sacrifice himself for us.  He lived a pure and perfect life and resurrected from the dead.  Now, if Jesus is God, what need or reason would there be for God to marry a woman?  God doesn't have desires of the flesh.  Yes Jesus was exposed to those desires here on earth, but the Bible tells us that he never gave in to any of those desires.  Mary Magadalene was a disiple of Christ.  She was only one of His followers and belivers, nothing more.

Yes.  It was started by Jesus, who is both God and man.

Jesus is a God made flesh.\n\nread John 1\n\nbut God the Father and Jesus Christ are two different person.

God has no parents. He is not human flesh . He is a \nspirit that is greater than great and the creater of\neverything you hear, see, smell, and touch on this earth. However he does have a son which he temporaily allowed to be born on earth in human flesh. His son's name was Jesus. Jesus had earthly\nparents and their names were Mary and Joesph.Could\nthey be who you are referring to? Bible class could\nis a good way to learn all you need to know about\nwho God is.

If Jesus (of Christianity fame) was a man, then he had a father. It is a requirement of birth.

yes god was the creator of this earth from genesis to revelation from adam and eve to pual. Lord jesus is my savior!

Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. Mary was just the vessel God used for Jesus to be born of flesh.\nYes, she was his mother...but Jesus is the Son of God.\n\n\nP.S. some people need to read their bible...saying that God can't be the Father to anyone..lol

C. He is the son of God

Jesus was not son of God, he was a prophet.

If God was Jesus father, who is God's father?\n\nunderstanding the Trinity will answer this question.\n1- FATHER 2- SON 3- HOLY SPIRIT  all in one.\n\nhow does one explain the origins of God to the simple finite minds of man when we can't even understand our own origins when it is explained to us.\n\nSince God is Spirit it is hard to understand, but try this on for size:\n\nMan was created in God's image\n\nSpirit/Body/Soul  as God is Father/Son/Holy Spirit\n\nwe are one being but we have 3 distinct parts of who we are.\nfashioned in the image of our creator.\n\never notice how the world is made of 3's\n\n1. we live in a 3 dimensional world.
