How Is Jesus Both God And Man? by UyiIredia(m): 2:47pm On Jul 26, 2018
Anytime I ask this question Christians start quoting Scripture. But it is good to reason things out.

God is eternal, but Jesus was born. Does that mean God was born?

God is omnipotent, but Jesus was weak, beaten, injured and crucified by Roman soldiers, does that mean God can be beaten, injured and killed on a cross?

God is omniscient but the where is the evidence of Jesus knowing everything?

God existed before and created the universe but Jesus came after the universe was made, does that mean God was born after the universe and made from it?

God is of no tribe but Jesus was a Jew, does that mean God is a Jew?

If God and Jesus are different how can they be the same thing?

When u ask christains this question..what do u now want christains to quote...the quran, a chemistry text book or Harry potter novel...scriptures are the only written down words explaining God and Jesus to a certain level, a small level human mind can manage to grasp...

it's clear u want a logical explanation...

But I'm afraid my brother, there is none....is that not why a lot of scientist say there is no God or jesus, is that not why we have atheist..trying to use logic to explain an illogical phenomenon....u will only end up with "the more u look the less u see"

Shut up!

Jesus is not God.

I only bow to the Almighty. Jesus is just a stupid boy who keeps biting off more than he can chew.


Now pay attention;
Jesus is one of the Sons of the Almighty just like myself. I'm his elder.

He plotted a coup with the help of my bitter rival Michael to frame me up & had me thrown out of Heaven on trumped up charges.
This is why I became rebellious and set out to destroy everything he stands for.

Contrary to popular belief, I have no qualms with the Almighty. He summons me & I appear before Him to give account of my actions (even your Scriptures can attest to this fact) but Jesus is hell bent on painting me in bad light hence the stereotype today about me.


This is why I deprive his followers of the materials I control - wealth & fame. I do it to spite him. He cannot change this because I am the bonafide Ruler of the Earth as designated by the Almighty.


This is how I was able to infiltrate Eden and convince the Chosen Vessel, Eve to lead mankind into doom. Her sister, Lamashtu was highly attracted to me but I had eyes only for Eve because of her strategic position.

Upon the disaster I caused, The Almighty asked for a volunteer amongst the Host of Heaven to fix the mess I caused & Jesus seized this opportunity to cement his position as The Almighty's favourite.

Sadly, the foolish boy resisted my many attempts to derail his mission here.

He may have won that battle, but he hasn't won the War.

My time will come.

And you still believed it, how do you arrive to know that it is true. Remember you can't use reason on illogical phenomenon as you said.

Quoting scripture is to validate the claim of spiritual blessings they have partook with early saint and Jesus being God doesn't defile logic, in fact it fits into logic well once you acknowledge also that God is OMNIPOTENT which means God can do anything in fact that's why God called Himself I Am that I Am

If God is capable of doing anything, do you think He can't become a baby and still be God?

God is eternal, but Jesus was born. Does that mean God was born?

In fact, reading the Bible and in comparison with man's knowledge about God will let you know why Christian worshipping Jesus as God.

Just like I told one Jehovah witness brother, that the problem they have with the scripture is inability to know when the Bible writers wrote about Jesus before He entered into creation/became man and after He became part of creation/became man.

Before He became part of creation He was not known as Jesus Christ but THE ETERNAL LIFE, CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE e.t.c this sum up His name as THE ETERNAL WORD OF GOD.

Note: Even JWs know this but they try to explain away this by saying Jesus is just the representative of God that's why He was called The Word of God.

They know that God is eternal as His Word is eternal.

God is omnipotent, but Jesus was weak, beaten, injured and crucified by Roman soldiers, does that mean God can be beaten, injured and killed on a cross?

I also use to tell people that, The Word of God didn't enter creation to proof that He His God rather to fulfill the very purpose He came into creation for. Meanwhile, Jesus is omnipotent because He is the one who upholds creation by the word of His POWER.

God is omniscient but the where is the evidence of Jesus knowing everything?

If Jesus didn't know everything he would have rebuked His disciples when they said to Him "Now are we sure that thou knowest ALL THINGS..."

God existed before and created the universe but Jesus came after the universe was made, does that mean God was born after the universe and made from it?

The man Jesus was a body which the Word of God who existed before ALL THINGS and CREATED all things dwell.

God is of no tribe but Jesus was a Jew, does that mean God is a Jew?

A human body was delivered to the tribe of Jews where the ETERNAL WORD dwell to fulfill the promise of God to the word.

If God and Jesus are different how can they be the same thing?

You're right, God and Jesus are different simply because it's being known by man that God is eternal and the creator, and Jesus is a man but what we are saying is, what is the NATURE of the person of Jesus before He became part of creation?

So if man has known God to be eternal and creator and the man who they know as Jesus was eternal and creator that made Him God.

Not only you have raised issue like this, the critics of Jesus in His own time were also confused that's why they could say to Jesus [b]"even though you're a man but making thyself God"[/quote]

They know the way Jesus presented Himself is all knowledge they've known about God.

I'm not here to argue with you but raising some silent points from the scripture.

The religious folks argues on two major pinnacles - The religious books and their awe of how the world was structurally arranged. 'There has to be a God behind this complex structure'

The atheists are not having that since it sounds utterly ridiculous to attribute what you cannot explain to a supernatural power. Your confusion about a subject matter should lead to inconclusive assertions not strong conclusions. When nothing is certain nothing should be sure. Yet these religious folks are sure.

Their holy books is structured in ways that logic isn't allowed. Since the God factor is the premise, any illogical conclusion is understandable. So the slippery slope of so many inconceivable gibberish crammed into an ancient book written possibly by primitive humans still reigns supreme in a world of homo sapiens.

However unfortunate, religion will never be outlived. Since it addresses two greatest fears of man - fear of death and fear of the afterlife. The writers of the 'holy' books rode on this to win mammoth followership. It's just too late to use logic when you have invested all your years into a belief.

But maybe a little light will shine if curiosity and objective inquisition isn't a banned item in the religious fraternity. How do you deem yourself saner than atheists when you ban reasoning in analyzing concepts. 'It's spiritual' is the usual reply. They muddy the water to make it seem deep. Yet regardless of how loud you scream nonsense from the depths of your lungs, it still remains nonsense.

God is eternal, but Jesus was born. Does that mean God was born?
Indeed God is eternal. Jesus was in existence but had to come in flesh to die for man ( John 1:1) . God had to send him to die for man (John 3:16)

God is omnipotent, but Jesus was weak, beaten, injured and crucified by Roman soldiers, does that mean God can be beaten, injured and killed on a cross?
Jesus was man in flesh sent to redem humanity. God was not beaten as some people think.

God is omniscient but the where is the evidence of Jesus knowing everything?
Jesus knew everything that went on on the planet. Nothing was hidden from him

God existed before and created the universe but Jesus came after the universe was made, does that mean God was born after the universe and made from it?
God and Jesus had been in existence before the creation of the earth (Gen 1:1, Gen 1:26, John 1:1)
The above scripture especially John 1:1 talks about Jesus been there in the beginning of creation.
What John is saying is that before there was any matter, before anything had been made, Jesus was. “In the beginning was the Word.” So, there at the beginning, when those things were brought into being, he was there already. That’s the point of “in the beginning.”

God is of no tribe but Jesus was a Jew, does that mean God is a Jew?
God is of all tribes since he created the earth

If God and Jesus are different how can they be the same thing?
God is God. Jesus is his son. The two of them are one ( John 10:30)
