Can God Cry? by 9jaSceptic: 5:32am On Dec 22, 2013
King James Bible
John 11:35 Jesus wept.
The above quote stated explicitly that Jesus cried this thread is opened not to dent anyone's belief or unbeliefs but to share knowledge, So I call on those that equate Jesus with God to come educate us on the possibilty of the Creator Crying , in my own opinion i find that unbecoming and disrespectful.

Implication of Jesus = God
1.There was a baby God
2.Baby God peed on his body deficated on it's body.
3.God was beaten,jeered at etc by his enemies , hanged on the cross.

I find these claims absurd when associated to the creator of the Universe, what do you think?

You can't just make an assertion without a premise, care to give reasons?
Re: Can God Cry? by Nobody: 8:20am On Dec 22, 2013
You would be right if we see Jesus strictly as God but that is not the only nature of Jesus. "The word became flesh and dwelth amongst us", and as such he has both the nature of God and man.

As man he demonstrated certain weaknesses associated with the human nature. As man he grew from a simple zygote to a full blown man. Jesus is not just God but God and man.

Jesus is both Man and God this the first time i'll be seeing this, okay, but you still haven't answered the question.

Crying is a simple human expression of pain/grief/sorrow.

Gen 6:5-6

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the LORD that he
had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him at his heart
.


Does God grieve too? Apparently yes.

As much as it will be a huge jump to speculate whether or not God has tear ducts, Jesus was God incarnated in the form of man. And man has tear ducts.

Jesus "weeping" was an expression of his human nature.

John 1:1,14

1 In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

I think he did.

Jesus "wept" as a result of his human nature.

jesus experienced first hand wat it means to b human ant to b tempted and the vagaries of sin.
He was moved with compassion at d ravages of sin on his creatures e.g man wasnt created to die,b confused experience poverty etc.
Besides weepg aint a sign of weakness but of sympathy and empathy.

Fair replies.

Say He God is one
God is He on whom all depends
He begets not nor was He begotten
And none is like him

God obviously does not cry
