if jesus was god why did he pray
if jesus was god then why was a human one of gods creatoins if you think about its like saying that all humans look like god, or in comparison animals look like god,

if jesus is god then why did he beg for mercy from god

if jesus is god then why does it say in the bible that it is important to believe in one god and one god only, and some parts it says jesus is god,

if jesus was also the son of god then its like saying that god has you know what im talking about i shall not go there

and just cause jesus had no fatther doesnt mean hes god if he was then adam must be god too.


if jesus is god then why did he die


and also all bibles are different i mean what the heck a bible contradicts itself and all the other bibles also contradict each other. and if u christians truly love jesus then why do you not follow what he says like for an example jesus wanted woman to veil thier heads out in public, jesus wanted people to fast as he did for a month, also these things are things that muslims to do like veil thier heads and fast a month. how come all christians think just because they are christian that they will go to heaven no matter what. im a muslim and one example is on ramadan i broke my fast and i told my christian friend that it was a big sin he said well its not like you killed some one, also 75 percent of americans have sex before marriage and the majority of americans or christians, also i know more about the bible and jesus more than most christinans themselves also muslims believe that jesus is comeing back to restore order. he was only a prophet no messenger of god. if christians really believed in god then why do alot of other cristians or american teen kids bully other kids why why why???

My friend. One question at a time.



I'll focus one question, which is "if Jesus was God, why did he pray?"

Well the answer to that is two fold:

1- he is in the trinity, father son and holy sport, and he's the son. All three can talk and communicate to each other, but they are not SEPARATE. Just like you, a brain, body and spirit - clearly three destination entities making up one person, so too God is three distinct entities making one God. So the son spoke to the father.



2- secondly, why did he beg for mercy? Don't forget that he was incarnate and became human flesh, and he foresaw the pain that is coming - so out of humility he ink his humanity, he asked the father for mercy, but he did not run away from it did he? Ad he resurrected himself didn't he?



These are Huge questions you asking and this forum does not allow full explanation ... You are more than welcome to email me through my yahoo profile and Weill discuss all your questions one at time :-)

1) if jesus was god why did he pray



God is more than one person. When Jesus prayed, he always prayed to the Father - sometimes as an example, sometimes in earnest.





2) if jesus was god then why was a human one of gods creatoins



The question is a non sequitur. The fact that Jesus is God has no relevance to why God created humans.





3) if you think about its like saying that all humans look like god



The Bible teaches us that God made humans in his own image. However, you have the wrong idea about Jesus. According to the Bible, Jesus existed since the beginning and came down from Heaven to be born as a human. So: Jesus existed long before any human existed.





4) if jesus is god then why did he beg for mercy from god



He did not. However, he did quote the beginning of Psalm 22. If that is what you are referencing, reading Psalm 22 will help you to realize exactly why Jesus quoted it.





5) if jesus is god then why does it say in the bible that it is important to believe in one god and one god only, and some parts it says jesus is god,



Because Jesus is **that very same one God**.





6) if jesus was also the son of god then its like saying that god has you know what im talking about i shall not go there



Again: Jesus and the Father are *not* the same person. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit all lived in Heaven. The Father fathered the human body of Jesus by means of the Holy Spirit, and Jesus came down from Heaven to be born into that body.





7) and just cause jesus had no fatther doesnt mean hes god if he was then adam must be god too.



Agreed. That is **not** why Jesus is God.





8) if jesus is god then why did he die



a - it was what God willed

b - it was necessary for the Christian covenant

c - because Jesus was born into a *mortal* human body, and all human bodies die

d - as an example of the bodily resurrection





9) and also all bibles are different i mean what the heck a bible contradicts itself and all the other bibles also contradict each other.



Inaccurate claim.





10) jesus wanted woman to veil thier heads out in public



Not recorded in the Bible.





11) jesus wanted people to fast as he did for a month



Not taught in the Bible.

The trinity is the central mystery of the faith. The ONE God is 3 persons each having the fullness of divine nature. (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) The things Jesus did that confuse you he did because of his humanity, he felt pain, suffering, and love. Humans are made in God's image. We are different from animals because we have dignity, intelligence, and free will. Adam was created by God whereas Jesus was begotten. Some traditions can change in the faith, the ones that stay the same are based on faith and morals. So the thing about the veils is not a tradition based on faith and morals. Christian aren't supposed to think that just because they are christian they will go to heaven. Christians are supposed to follow a good life, and bullying is not doing that. We are all susceptible to sin. As for the comment your friend made about "well its not like you killed someone" there are moral and venial sins. Moral sin are of grave matter and are sins that should be confessed. Venial sins are less serious and are not required to be confessed in confession.

I understand that there are christians out there that dont live out the faith and do not know as much as they should. I'm just trying to help clear up some confusions, I don't fully understand Muslim traditions and practices but instead of going around saying what I assume or accuse, I ask questions and learn with an open and accepting mind.

Not everyone who claims to be a Christian are really true Christians. I don't understand why a lot of so called Christians just ignore some of the things the Bible says either. There are Christians who really do fast and there are Christian women who really do cover their heads (women are supposed to veil there heads while praying which should be without ceasing, so they should be covered all the time not just out in public). A lot of people say they are Christians just because they go to church but they have to sincerely be trying to live right for God to actually be a Christian. Just so you know, Jesus is the Son of God!

Two ways to get to heaven:

1.) all your life never sin not even once.....And then when you get to the throne of heaven

you can say move over ,now there's two of us.



2.) Let Jesus Christ Change your life.



The entire bible was written because of him , in honor of him, and proclaiming him.



Isaiah 44:6 ....."I am the first and the last and beside Me there is NO God"

Revelation 2:8 "......The first and the last WHO became dead and came to life again".



Question : when did God die ?





Christ was the only way to have any perfect man become the scapegoat for sin.

Since he was the form of a mortal he was compatible to do so..

Just like a person that needs a liver transplant...it requires a human liver.



There is something spiritual about blood that most humans will never understand.

Because Jesus is not literally God, and as you have pointed out, Jesus clearly distinguishes Himself from God.



Consider the following metaphor. The sun represents God, and a perfectly polished mirror represents the Prophet (Jesus). One can look at the mirror and say either, “There is the sun.” or,” There is a perfect reflection of the sun.” and both statement would be true. A man can no more directly enter the presence of God than he can walk on the sun, so, as far as we are concerned (as opposed to being literally true), the Prophet is God.

You seem to be trying to make Christianity make sense according to the bondage of islam. That is impossible because OUR GOD IS DIFFERENT. hE BRINGS US FREEDOM WHILE YOURS BRINGS YOU INTO HORRIBLE BONDAGE.



The Bible does never contradict itself -The "natural mind" can not understand the things of God for they are Spiritually discerned, only the Born again, Spirit-filled mind can understand it, no matter how much someone tries to explain it to you. You have so many, many rules, rules, rules! This is bondage. Your god is not merciful or forgiving -one mistake and BAM! you're done! Your god is a god of confusion and you are trying to make the true and Living God seem confusing also, but he is simple and easy to know and understand once we are Born-again.

Philippians 2:5-11



5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:



6 Who, being in very nature of God,

did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

7 rather, he made himself nothing

by taking the very nature of a servant,

being made in human likeness.

8 And being found in appearance as a man,

he humbled himself

by becoming obedient to death—

even death on a cross!



9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place

and gave him the name that is above every name,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

everyone has God within, I died only in the flesh but I live forever and am currently incarnated as a male human to affirm Jahs holy name forever and seal his kingdom on Earth, it's going to be a busy year!!





Jesus.....back



and to prove I'm the real deal I explain (in all languages as promised) how I performed 2 miracles feeding the 5000 and the miraculous catch in my key video "the announcement". More will be revealed in due course over the next few months as the world wakes up slowly to the reality I am back. spread the video (facebook, twitter, email etc) if you want to speed up the coming of a world free of oppression, violence, paedophilia etc it's going to happen but you can help speed it up.

There will always be doubts. Real faith is determined by if you chose to believe despite these doubts, not how many you have.

Mommy, why is the sky blue?



Daddy, why do we die?



Yadda, yadda, yadda...



We don't KNOW everything.



Maybe I need to say it again...

WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING.



Don't try to figure it out.

You're not going to figure EVERYTHING out.



When that reality begins to set in...

you will begin to see you need to put your TRUST or FAITH in something or someone.
