Excellent question.  But unfortunately, I have yet to hear a good answer.  God the Almighty Creator doesn't even blink for a second, nonetheless die.  If this were true and God died on the cross, then ALL existance would cease.\n\nHere's what makes the trinity questionable:  If you have a creature (i.e. a created being), and a third of that creature dies while the other two-thirds are still alive, then that creature hasn't really died.  All parts would have to die for the creature to be considered dead.  \n\nSo if this applies to a created being, how can it not apply to the Creator?  If a third of God dies, but the other two-thirds are still alive, then that third didn't really die; especially when he's resurrected within a number of hours.\n\nThe fact is that death in itself is a creation.  Therefore the dimension of death cannot be applied to an infinite entity which exists outside the realm of all creation.  i.e. No creator, or any part of a creator, dies.\n\nWhat does that mean anyways?  What does it mean that a third of God has died???  This can only indicate that the trinity is not true; it's merely a pagan practice that has filtered down to blemish the noble message of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him).  (see link below)\n\nFor those who say angels, well who was sustaining the angels in God's absence?  Did you really hear yourself say that??

I believe that Jesus is the Lord of all.  I believe he died for our sins, rose on the third to to sit by the Father in heaven.  I believe that he sent the Holy Spirit, which he called, The Comforter to abide within us.  I believe that he will come back again to claim those who declare him Lord.

Jesus is the "firstborn of all creation; because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible" (Colossians 1:15,16). Which means he was created by God...and is therefore, his son. \n\nThe, I guess, interesting thing is that people say this...and yet say that he IS God...now, isnt' that a contradiction? How can you be a father and son to yourself? How come Jesus died on the stake and yet, the entire world didn't colapse, if, as they believe, he is God? How come so many times he prayed to God...why would he pray to himself?

Not all that many know about Pro 8. \nThat one shows Jesus existed before his earthly life. An opinion most differ with.\nAnyway, he as been appointed to rule and judge. To sit on God's throne.\nAlso, he was created and worships God. However, he was instrumental in creating all things.\nAnd when things are accomplished, he returns all back to God.\n\n1Co 15:24  Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. \n1Co 15:25  For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. \n1Co 15:26  The last enemy to be destroyed is death. \n1Co 15:27  For "God has put all things in subjection under his feet." But when it says, "all things are put in subjection," it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. \n1Co 15:28  When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.

You are absolutely right, Jesus did not die on a cross, the King James Bible says he died on a:\n\nActs 5:30  The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.\n\nActs 10:39  And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:\n\nActs 13:29  And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

Jesus did not die on the Cross, God raised him to the skies, and will be back to rule the world with Justice and equity ...

That is a foundational belief of Christianity.  So Jesus wouldn't have died on the cross for our sins.  Then there would have been no resurrection from the dead.\n\nSo, the whole thing would have been vanity.\n\nThe old testament law applied to the covenant between God and Israel.  The new testament Grace & Truth opened up salvation to all nations & peoples who call on His name.\n\nSo we would be in the nations not restored unto God, like before Christ.

Intro,\n\nJesus was unique to say the least. He was God, but He couldn’t use His power as God, or it would be absolutely impossible for God – Who is a righteous judge – to condemn any mere human for not being perfect.\n\nJesus did keep the Law of Moses. He was the only one who ever did that. If you think about the Law of Moses, it was impossible for anyone to keep it. It was given so Jesus could keep the righteous requirements of the Law, and in His righteousness, He could redeem – or buy back – the rest of humanity. God made this plan for redeeming us before He created the earth and the heavens. Jesus was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.\n\nThe parts of the law dealing with ceremony and forgiveness of sin were for people until the time of Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice. The Apostle Paul observed that the Law was just a schoolmaster, and also that it was impossible for us to keep.\n\nOn one hand, Jesus was pure in His thinking and in obedience to His Father. His single-minded, wholehearted obedience gave Him a leg up on us as long as He maintained it – which He did flawlessly.\n\nOn the other hand, He endured temptation and harassment from demons of a greater intensity than any other man. The devil certainly knew who Jesus was after His public baptism. If the devil could only get Jesus to blow it once, then all mankind would be lost forever, and the devil would have beaten his archenemy – God.\n\nSo on one hand Jesus had it better than us, and on the other, it was much tougher for Him.\n\nI hope this helps, but very likely it raises more questions.\n\nGod bless.

This may sound simplistic but if you think of Jesus as God's avatar on Earth it kind of makes better sense.\n\nGod's will and Jesus's will are one in the same for us humans, but Jesus was God in human form, exactly the same as you and I but more like I said above an avatar.

Jesus is the one true God. Some people think that he was just a prophet from God, but he actually died for our sins. I mean the Jews rejected him, but what he went through at the cross, no one would have survived a part of what he went through. I am a struggling christian I admitt it, I am, because I am just not use to all the things that we r suppose to obey. But I am learning slowly. Hey but at least I am still learning more and more about God that I thought I understood before. The Bible is all the proof you need. I would sudgest to get a New King James Version to help you understand the words a little. I even have trouble understanding it. Hey I'm 15 I can have an escuse to have a little trouble. ~LOL~ Also look at Probvers, Acts, and Revlations. They will tell you of how he died for you, what is coming for us in the rapture, and how we should act as christians. I hope you take of what I said into concideration.

God the eternal Son became incarnate in Jesus Christ. Through Him all things were created, the character of God is revealed, the salvation of humanity is accomplished, and the world is judged. Forever truly God, He became also truly man, Jesus the Christ. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived and experienced temptation as a human being, but perfectly exemplified the righteousness and love of God. By His miracles He manifested God's power and was attested as God's promised Messiah. He suffered and died voluntarily on the cross for our sins and in our place, was raised from the dead, and ascended to minister in the heavenly sanctuary in our behalf. He will come again in glory for the final deliverance of His people and the restoration of all things. (John 1:1-3, 14; Col. 1:15-19; John 10:30; 14:9; Rom. 6:23; 2 Cor. 5:17-19; John 5:22; Luke 1:35; Phil. 2:5-11; Heb. 2:9-18; 1 Cor. 15:3, 4; Heb. 8:1, 2; John 14:1-3.)

According to the Bible, Jesus is God, and has always been God.  But in order to accomplish the salvation of man, He laid aside that right, and took a position that was less then God - that of His Son - and humbled Himself to God as His Father being obedient even to the point of dying on the cross.  Because of that, He was raised from the dead and returned to the position of full Godship with His Father.  (Read Phillippians 2: 6-11).\n\nIn the Jewish culture that Jesus lived, to term translated "the son of..." was a legal term that referred to someone who had all the rights and power of their father.  To refer to Jesus as "the son of God" meant the He had all the rights and power of God.  It is differrent that what we think of when we hear the English term "the son of...".  This is why during Jesus' trial before the Jews, when He referred to Himself as "the son of God", the high priest torn his garment and called him a blasphemer, because He made Himself equal with God.\n\nYou may debate all day whether or not Jesus was divine, but there is no room for debate over whether the Bible SAYS Jesus was divine.  There are hundreds of refers to His divinity in it.\n\nSo the answer is: Jesus, by claiming to be the Son of God, was claiming to be God.  They are the same thing.

I assume the sacred sacrifice is Jesus since He shed his blood and died for "this earth".  I know that was obvious but I don't really how to decipher the rest of it, sorry.

I will make this simple for you; the people that followed the Old Testament god killed Jesus. If Jesus came back to earth today; the people following the Old Testament, will kill him again. The Old Testament god is not the real god and is a contradictory of everything Jesus taught. Someone following this god is not a Christian.

God, Jesus, Holy Ghost. OY, this is one of the hardest questions for me! I'm no expert like Shneb but I know that the 3 are all the same by what they are. They are all God! How? Well I'll just say this, it's God, His ways are Higher than ours!!! But other than that. God saves us by the work of His Son Jesus who died for us and the Holy Spirit comes to be our helper while we're on earth. I'm sure of that!
