Why does christianity contradicts it self?

Question

I am a muslim I just wana try to understand christianity?

Why do chrisitans say the jesus is god when jesus never said it?
(Never said that he is god or warship him in any of the 72 bible).

Is he god or the son of god?
How can he be himself and his own son at the same time?

If god was the creator how can he be the creation?

If god is immortal than how can god die? He can't be mortal and immortal at the same time. Thats like saying I am 10ft tall but 4ft tall too.

If jesus was tortured for the sins of man kind than why is there a hell? Does it sound fair for a man to be totured for something I have done.

If my brother commits murder does that mean I should get punished for it before he even does it.

If jesus died for the sins of man does that mean hitler will go to heaven because jesus died for his sins.

If jesus was god than why did he warship god?

If jesus was god because he had no father than that means adam is double the god that jesus is.

Many more..

Answer 1

Before anything, I just wanted to say that I have my beliefs, and do not wish to disrespect any othe religion with theirs. My beliefs are also different from other catholics, because I believe that faith in a religion depends on the person, and how they decide to interpret it.



Religion is based purely based on the person's faith, if you are going to base them on facts, than its not a religion, its science. And when ppl faith lead them to wrong intentions, than its their fault, not the religion. If you are trying to understand a religion you have to read its works, dont listen to others because they can never tell you the right answer, the right answer resides in you. Don't try to understand a religion based on logic or facts, because that is the total opposite of what a religion is..



Don't say things like 'If jesus was god..." or whatever, asking questions and saying things when you have no idea about what you are saying. Don't ask ppl to interpret a religion for you, because they all have different interpretations. Go figure it out yourself. Interpret it yourself. Faith and religion is between you and your god, not you and and other believers.

Answer 2

Q."Why do chrisitans say the jesus is god when jesus never said it?"

A. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 and John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us... John 10:30 (Jesus said) I and the Father are one."



Q."Is he god or the son of god?"

A.God has a triune nature, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit



Q."If god was the creator how can he be the creation?"

A. Not sure who the he is in this question. The triune God is the Creator. Jesus is the first born of Creation.



Q."If god is immortal than how can god die? He can't be mortal and immortal at the same time. Thats like saying I am 10ft tall but 4ft tall too."

A. God the Father did not die. God the Son Jesus, died but did not remain dead, He rose after 3 days and is seated at the right hand of God



Q"If jesus was tortured for the sins of man kind than why is there a hell? Does it sound fair for a man to be totured for something I have done."

A. Who ever said that life was fair? Jesus paid the penalty for our sin This is salvation. Hell or eternal separation from God is for those who reject the gift of salvation that Jesus offers.



Q"If my brother commits murder does that mean I should get punished for it before he even does it."

A. No, we are all accountable to God for our own sin.



Q"If jesus died for the sins of man does that mean hitler will go to heaven because jesus died for his sins."

A. The only way to heaven is by repenting of sin, receiving Jesus and following Him. God made a way of salvation by Jesus' crucificion and ressurection. We are not attomatically saved, we need to receive that by repenting of our sin, receiving and following Jesus Christ.



Q."If jesus was god than why did he warship god?"

A. Just know that He said of Himself that God is worthy of worship and that He and the Father are one



Q"If jesus was god because he had no father than that means adam is double the god that jesus is."

A. The bible doesn't say that Jesus had no Father.

Answer 3

Here are answers to your questions.



1. Jesus is the Son of God. He did say in the book of Matthew that if you have seen the Son, then you have seen the father. This is because of the trinity. God as three different persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.



2.God is the creator. The great I Am, which created everything in heaven, and in the earth.



3. God came to the earth in the flesh, in the person of His Son Jesus, which was the Christ. The savior of the world, come here to reconcile God and man. He came in a mortal form, died for the sins of men, was resurrected through the power of God, and ascended into heaven in that physical form.



4. There is a hell because Jesus was the perfect sacrifice and the last sacrifice needed for remission of sin. But not all men will believe in Him, and for that unbelief and refusal to live in His grace by making Him the Lord of your life, and your personal Savior, the immortal souls of those who reject Him will suffer the second death in the lake of fire and brimstone, thus the need for hell.



5. It is very unlikely that Hitler was born-again, and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior before he died. Unless he did, he will burn in hellfire, which is likely.



6. Jesus is the Son of God. See answer #1.



7. Jesus had a father. God is the Father of Jesus.

Answer 4

How He can be and do all this is because He is not only a true man but also true God at the same time. So He could pay for the sin of man by being a man yet He could also be the creator in His divine nature. Think about it. This is Gods marvelous way of showing mercy and forgiveness yet remaining righteous and holy. Our sin is justly dealt with by Christ so that we can be free of sins judgment. No other system or religion has a for sure way to address the righteous judgment of God. Your 5 pillars don't atone for sin. Will you hold your good works up before the Almighty Righteous Judge on Judgment day as good enough to atone for your sin? I'll take the perfect life of Jesus (the only man never to have sinned) and His perfect sacrifice any day over anything I have done.

Answer 5

Christianitys "Bible"s contradiction is no different than any other religious bible.

The Father,Son & Holy Spirit are One. This is the Holy Mystery of the Bible.

We believe that God is everything. He is all!

God Is Immortal and will not die.

As far as hell, Pure Evil will go to hell. God Created Jesus as part of God and he did die for our sins. We must live a life according to the bible and the commandments. We are all sinners, however if we ask God for forgiveness (and truley mean it and attempt to not sin again in the name of God - we will be forgivven.) If we sin and ask for forgivenness and sin again and again and not care what we are doing - God will not forgive us.

Jesus is not God, but part of God. He was born to a mother. Adam was created by the hands of God. Adam is not God either, but his creation.

Dont forget that the bible was written 50 / 60 yrs after Jesus died, so there will be alot of questions.

On the other hand, some might argue...............

You believe a "something" spirit is up in Heaven watching and recording our every move, and that same something gave Moses the 10 Commandment for us to follow? Its religion and yes I do believe.

Answer 6

Jesus did say it many times, you just dont understand the Bible well enough or probably have never read it. Did you know Jesus is worshipped 6 times alone in the Book of Matthew?



How can God have a son? Is God so inept in your mind that he is incapable of imparting his spirit to others and having a spiritual son?



Jesus was only born and died in flesh, his deity remained always.



There is hell for evil people and ones who do not accept Jesus.



The murder Q makes no sense.



Just may have died for the whole world, but to get that salvation, YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT JESUS AS LORD and follow him. Hitler did not so no.



We worship both Father God and the Son of God because they are 1 in spirit.



Jesus had an earthly father as well as being 1 with Father God. Adam was just a sinner, he doesnt compare to Jesus.

Answer 7

I can answer these questions (from a Christian perspective), and I'm an atheist.



1) He did, and sighted the source of his claim from the Hebrew Testament (Psalm 82:6, referenced in John 10:34).

2) Henotheism

3) Emanation

4) Only the embodiment as human can

5) Salvation by redemption

6) Hitler will if he actually accepted Jesus as savior

7) To show his followers how

8) Not if Adam was only creation and not emanation



I say overcome your handicap that makes you still believe Islam (with it's multitude of absurdities and contradictions) before asking about others. (1)

Answer 8

Please review the following verses:



Mar 14:61 But he remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

Mar 14:62 And Jesus said, "I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

Mar 14:63 And the high priest tore his garments and said, "What further witnesses do we need?

Mar 14:64 You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.



As you can see, the high priest fully understood that Jesus was claiming that He was in fact God. Some knowledge of the original Greek is warranted here, particularly the term, "God the blessed". But there is no doubt that Christ was claiming to be God.

Answer 9

we know of 3 dimensions cause we can see and touch them. We know of a total of 10 dimensions....God is in 4th or higher dimension.



Since this is hard to grasp, we'll go backwards to help explain this. You fully understand 3 dimension as you see it all around you, when you hold a ball, a cube, etc.



You understand 2 dimensionall as that is what a piece of paper is or say the top of your desk.



So now imagine we live in the 2 dimensional instead of the 3 dimensional. Then someone in the 3rd dimension sticks their finger through our world of 2 dimension. What do we see? The finger? The hand? Nope....all we see is a point in the sky that gets bigger and bigger and turns into a circle, goes through our world and gets smaller and smaller until it became a point and vanished.



Standing in the 2nd dimension....we could never figure out that was a finger or a hand. Specially based on the information we saw and read. How can a point and a circle be a 3 dimensiona hand and finger?



Now put that logic into us and God. All we see are points and circles where God fully sees what is going on, in a different "light" if you will.



Make sense?

Answer 10

TRUE Christianity does not contradict itself. The belief in the trinity has messed up the minds of many "Christians." Consider the following:



John 3:16, 17 says that God sent his Son to earth. Trinitarians say it was God himself who came to earth.



Jesus said at John 17:3 that his Father was the only true God. Trinitarians believe that the Son and the holy spirit should be elevated to the same level as the Father and then worshiped as a confusing trinity.



Jesus said at John 14:28: "The Father is greater than I am." Trinitarians feel that Jesus and his Father are equal.



The context of John 10:30 (I and the Father are one) shows that Jesus and his Father are in agreement concerning how Jesus' followers were to be cared for. Trinitarians insist this is proof of the trinity, although only 2 persons are mentioned.



True Christianity does not conflict with the Bible. At Ps. 83:18, Jehovah is called the Most High. At Luke 1:32, Jesus is called the SON of the Most High. True Christianity works in harmony with the Bible;not against it.

Answer 11

All religions contradict itself. Islam has a lot of bad things in it too. Why is it that Mohammed married a 9-year old? Or that beating your wife is allowed? No religion is perfect.

Answer 12

Weston, you will desire to certainly comprehend the context from the bible earlier you examine a verse and you assume of what it potential. before everything you ignored a considerable section from the bible says that we are self based siners, additionally while it says that interior the commencing up while God created us, we've been created in his image (meaning that we did no longer have the character that we've right this moment), via fact we chosen to disobey God (provided that God gave us loose will) we grew to alter into what we are right this moment. while Jesus supplies us the comand of loving thy enemy, he's coaching us how we would desire to continually stay, and that we would desire to continually paintings in being like him, it fairly is achieveable, you may replace your techniques. additionally no longer all who claims to be Christians are Christians. basically via fact I say that i'm a millionaire would not make me one. If i dont have income my financial corporation account i'm no longer a millionaire, same is going for those that announces to be christians, in the event that they do no longer dont persist along with his teachings they do no longer seem to be christians. Christ would not recommend all of us to grant their possessions away. there's a passage in Matthew that he tells a youthful guy that if he desires to persist with Jesus, he has to do away along with his fortune, yet it fairly is basically via fact Jesus knew that this guy cared greater approximately money than something. that's no longer the case for each man or woman. Weston, you're making the errors that a lot of human beings make. it seems to me which you have by no potential taken the time to comprehend what the bible teaches and you're already making assumptions. Please take it sluggish to comprehend what it says earlier forming your man or woman opinion ^_^.

Answer 13

what 72 bibles are you reading?

the King James, the NIV. Where are you getting your info? If you read the New Testement in either of these you will find your answers

Answer 14

Read the Bible and find out. I suggest that you get the

New Living Translation which is easier to understand.

Start with the Book of John.

Answer 15

First thing you are going to have to understand is Allah who says he is the God of Abraham can not be and the first part of your question demonstrates this...God taught and is a long time belief by those who worship him that truth is revealed by more than one source...As in a prophet can not bear witness of himself...all such people were imediately dismissed as liars as Muhammad has been by those who know God. Jesus fufilled the prophesies that spoke of his coming thousnads of years before he came read Isaiah 53...It speaks of the Messiah who will come and atone for the sin of his people and it tells us that though they were going to kill him he never said a word...when asked if he was the Son of God Jesus replied with you sid it is so...Do you think If he wasnt he would not have denied it rather than die? Of copurse youa re Muslim so you bleive God decieved people into believing in the crucifiction which Allah says he did...The God of Abrham does not deceive eh teaches that the deceiver is Satan.

Now as to whether Jesus is the son of God or God himself...Understand God was before creation and all things were created by him the wholeness of God is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and these are one God. When Adam sinned...It is not in the Qu'ran but God warned them that if thay ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil they would surely die...Satan lied and said you will not surely die...The truth is sin cause death..God is rightoeus and sin causes a seperation between God and man...God can not join sinas in sayoing your sin is ismply forgiven...saying sin is not sin...calling something rightous and holy that is not righteous and holy it would make God unrighteous and as Isaid God is perfect and he reamins perfect...It was not God's plan to join man in man's unrighteousness but to bringman to his righteousness

God knew before he crated man he would fall from grace and had a plan of salvation..that plan was to come to the world in the form of man and overcome temptation as a man and to remain perfect and to offer his flesh to pay the penalty of death for man

So to sum up the Son of God or god question the answer is both as Jesus was a part of God but is the part that is refered to as son as he came in the flesh....Now why did Jesus worship[ God...Jesus was in the flesh...Now this goes to the order of God which again for some reason Allah who calims to be the same God doesnt seem to understand his own order...Consider Genesis which is the first scripture man had the first book of Moses we Christians call Genesis In Geness God says Let us createman in our image...In Genesis 2 it explains man was formed from the dirt and that God breathed in his spirit and the two became one living soul. If this s the image of God then you can see it is the image of the trinity....Now God whowed us that the spirit shoudl rule the flesh...Jesus was in the flesh and was in submission to the father...This s the order of God. Now you ask about sin being original...original sin simply means that from Adam sin entered the world and through sin comes death surely you have noticed all people die therefore you recognize origianl sin it does nto mean we are not responisble for our own sins as all have sinned and aand fallen short of the glory of God. When Jesus died it did nto mean that everyone was saved it simply means that now there is a way for us to return ot God by accepting tha tonement as I previously stated god is rihgteous and can not call sin not sin or say that all is forgive ornthat your good deeds make your bad deeds okay...We were all apart from God and are giving an opportunity to be saved by God through the atonement God delivers man to his righteousness not joining man in mans unrighteousness...No one claimed Jesus is God because he had no wordly Father. This waht you ask is not the Bible contradicting itself it is the Bible coantradicting the Quran.
