There were divided argument on whether Jesus is God or the Son of God. I am personally more inclined to believe in the latter.

He's both he is god in human for but he is also the son of god.

[Spam Bot 2.0]

I don't believe any of this. Maybe Jesus was a real person, but he is not God or a son of God. There isn't such an existing thing as a "God", anyway...

(I am atheist)

[Maryhl]

I'm in the "Neither" category. Though I was raised Catholic where Jesus is both the Son of God and God. (You know that Trinity thing... "Bless it be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit". That's implying all three make up one God.)

Being a grown-up now, though, I feel Jesus was a human being. No more, no less. He wasn't even Christian, much less wanted to be anything other than a good Jew. Not only a good Jew but a liberal, socialist Jew. He spent much of his time preaching kindness to the poor and sick, and equality among all religions, cultures and genders. Just because he's human doesn't mean he can't be a great role model. whee

I say both. Because of the Trinity. "One God in Three, the Blessed Trinity!" as the hmn goes.

[Daumier]

According to my school he's both. I don't think he's either. I admire Jesus and his works but I don't believe you need to put the guy up on a heavenly pedestal and say he's God to realize he had something important to say and teach. It undervalues the power of the individual to believe that the only way a person could've done what he did was if he were God or the son of God. He's more admirable to have done what he did as a human mortal than as a deity. Its the difference between knowing that a person crossed the country by foot as opposed to a person who did the same by airplane.

Scholastic7 sums up the basic Christian theological idea of what the deification of Jesus Christ is viewed to be aptly.

He's both:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1).
Jesus is God (remember that God is a Trinity: One God in three persons).
Jesus is also God's Son: "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bossom of the Father, he hath declared him." (John 1:1 cool .

Although Jesus is God, He decides voluntarily to be subdued to the Father's Will. However, this does not means that Jesus is lower than the Father. We have to stop thinking that the fact that one humiliates himself before another person, he who has humiliated is less worthy than the person before whom he has humiliated.
In Jesus' case, it's just a matter of hierarchy (sp?), because Jesus is God, not God minus 0.9.

If you're refferring to "Holy, holy, holy!" The line is "God in three persons, blessed trinity."

Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Godhead.

[Cwalu]

Ok. There are three persons. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Father existed before Jesus came to earth. Though Jesus did exist at the beginning of time with God because he is God.

Jesus is God on earth. God in the flesh form.
The Holy Spirit is God within Christians who accept God. The Holy Spirit works in Christians to help them.

Well. That's how I see it.

It's like an apple. Or water.

An apple has flesh, core, and skin. Water can exist as a vapor, liquid, or solid.

[Rd178]

Christ is the God of the Old Testament. Christ created the Earth but he did it through the power and authority of God the Father. However Christ did not create, or organize, our spirits that was done by God the Father.

Christ is also the Son of God the Father he was the first that God created.

The only way for Christ to be able to atone for our worldly sins is to have had a part in our physical creation. If Christ did not play a part in you physical creation he would not have had the authority to atone for our sins.

So yes Christ is the God to our Mortal Lives but not the God of our Spirits. And yes he is the Son of God because he was created too.

[Razten Mizuten]

jesus was a human,
christians say Jesus was a human yet didnt sin, yet he disobeyed the temple rules, and over threw the tables.
christians create a jesus they can idolise and worship, not a jesus for who he is.
