Does anybody actually believe that Christ was God himself?

Christ was just a man. A very smart man who like many philosophers before him studied many cultures and ideology's. Incorporating them into his own personal beliefs. Using logic and misdirection he was able to convince many that he could to do god like healing. But the best magic trick of all time was the fact that years later there are those that still believe that he will rise up again. They have made many movie about the dead waking....Dawn of the dead...zombies....ect. I guess they are God like too? After all If Christ were to have risen...he would be killed on site for being a zombie...

Why, yes, I did know that.  But, that also makes your question somewhat meaningless:  I could just as easily ask of you, 'Your Allah is called God.  Why don't you worship Him Alone?'  See how that changes exactly nothing about the actual theological differences we have?  :)

This actually seems to prove what you ask, just think about it. You got me to thinking and it is really cool. People have asked, IF, Jesus was God how was He praying to Himself. Your question help me see this because I have never thought to put these two questions together. IF, God can be everywhere, then He was Jesus and God at the same time. God in Heaven and Jesus on Earth. Which would prove the Theory that God is Everywhere. I not sure if I answered your question, but, now I understand the Concept I have been hearing. God may have showed people His ability to be everywhere when as Jesus He Prayed to Himself (God) in another place, because He is everywhere. Thanks!

Yes, God is God no matter what you call him (or her) or how you choose to worship.\nI wish everyone understood this!

I believe Christ was truly God and truly man, so yes it is very possible that he had a carnal relationship. It does not bother me if it is proved he had a wife.

I am a non-denominational, right-wing conservative, born-again, fundemetalist(in a nice way) Christian.\n\nI knew there had to be a God. But was this God personal, or some force? In 1971, I had a personal encounter after asking Christ to forgive my sins and fill me with His Spirit. This was at the peak of the Jesus People movement. (yes, I am an old Jesus Freak) From that moment on, I knew that He was a personal God. From that point on I have been trying to teach the Bible to whoever was curious or searching.

There are none....only Christianity is self evidenced by the Creator Himself through the Holy Spirit once salvation is accepted Through Jesus Christ ever thing else is works religion.

Yes and no.\n\nIf you start, as both Christians and Muslims do (and Jews), with the belief that there is only one God, then neither can truthfully say that the other is worshipping a 'different' God, because there is only one God.\n\nHowever, they have essentially different views of who God is, and as a result, one could say that the character of the God they each worship is quite different.  \n\nThe question is, if you misunderstand God in meaningful ways, and worship Him in that imperfect way, is it still worship of God?  I believe so.  However, only the one true God is able to make that judgment.  \n\nThere is a more important issue.  Beyond worshipping God, our relationship with God is based on our understanding of Him. Key issues, such as whether Jesus is the Messiah, and the Son of God, whether God provides the Holy Spirit to guide us, and the means of reconciling with God, are critically important, and expose enormous differences among the different faith traditions.  \n\nChristians, for example, believe that Jesus was God manifested in the flesh, and provided the sacrifice that stands for all eternity, and that any (of any faith tradition) who accept His gift find forgiveness through Him.  Other faith traditions insist on some form of human works to justify themselves. Perhaps it requires a great deal of humility to accept that God doesn't need our help to achieve His way, but once we put our egos aside, we may see that God is truly in control. Only then can we begin to truly understand His will.

Wow, good question!\n\nFirstly, your question is concerned with the idea that God believes in Himself. If He believes in Himself then He still has one believer. But then anyone of us could believe that we are God, which is why I would prefer to use the definition of God as our creator.\n\nSince you are asking 'can there be a God if...' can we first start with the assumption that there is a God, and he does have believers? If you can accept this idea, then it should be quite easy to accept that He doesn't just cease when people stop believing. He still created us, even if the creations reject him.\n\nOf course it depends what you mean by 'be'! If we don't talk about, or know about, God, then what would be the point in there 'being' a God. If he has no point, then is his existance still relevant?\n\nI've asked more questions than I have answered, but I hope this gives you something to chew on!

I believe in God but not the trinity. (God is not all in Jesus, but Jesus was all God)\n\nBut even as a God he had to humiliate himself, by walking on the earth as a man.\n\nTraits of a human Body\nJesus became wearied ( tired ) ( John 4:6 ) \nJesus became hungry ( Luke 4:2 , Mt 4:2 , Mark 11:12 ) \non the cross just before he died he said I thirst ( John 19:28 ) \n\nHe showed human emotion\nJesus wept ( John 11:35 ) \nJesus loved ( Mark 10:21 , John 11:15 , John 11:36 , John 15:12 , John 19:26 ....) \nJesus was angry ( Mark 11:11-21 ) \n\nAn argument for support of the married status of Jesus is that bachelorhood was very rare for Jewish males of Jesus' time, being generally regarded as a transgression of the first mitzvah (divine commandment) — "Be fruitful and multiply". According to this reasoning, it would have been unthinkable for an adult, unmarried Jew to travel about teaching as a rabbi.\n\nIn The Gospel of Philip, it is said: \n"There were three who always walked with the Lord: Mary, his mother, and her sister, and Magdalene, the one who was called his companion. His sister and his mother and his companion were each a Mary." \n\nAs for the Wisdom who is called "the barren," she is the mother of the angels. And the companion of the Lord Mary Magdalene. Jesus loved her more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her often on her mouth. \n\nLogically and realistically they could have been married and had a child/children. He came here to walk as a man, it was not then and it is not now  a sin to be married, engage in intercourse, and have a child.\n\nLogically and realistically he could have been totally divine, felt all the worst mankind had to offer, and very little of the joy. which is really what he was sent here to do, die for our sin.\n\nHopefully, we will see all the truth in heaven.

No.\n\n‘Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded from the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.’\n\n - Col. Robert G. Ingersoll

i agree with you, dear asker.\n\nif you study the life of Christ, you can only make one of three conclusions about Him:\n\nEither He:\n1.)  claimed to be God, yet knew He wasn't, that would make Him a liar\n2.)  thought He was God, but didn't know He wasn't, and that would make Him a lunatic.\n3.)  Proclaimed Himself to be God, and actually was/is God, and that would make Him Lord ;-)\n\ni mean, if Jesus were faking His messiahship, He sure went out the hard way, b/c His teachings contradicted the messianic expectations of the time.  if He was trying to be the messiah they expected, He sure did a lousy job. the Messiah He was and the messiah they expected  were so different that they missed the point completely.  they actually crucified Him b/c He claimed to be God!\n\nThe deity of Jesus is the ''great divide'' between christianity and gnosticism, cults, etc.  all cults will try and deny the Deity of Jesus.  it's also the divider between christianity and islam.  Muhammed did not die for you, and he was not sinless.

again and again and again the same question...and wrong answered....\n\nJesus is not Christ and Christ is not God. when are the christians going to learn that?

NO.\n\nDyer makes no Biblical references (I'm speaking of the Holy Bible) nor does he talk about God the Father, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit.\n\nWhen referencing "God" he is talking about the "God concept of self" (new age jargon).\n\nHe does not proclaim to be a follower of Jesus Christ, nor does he profess Christ to be Lord and Savior.  Therefore, he is NOT a Christian.\n\nI hope this helps. :)

God answers prayers of those people that have gotten right with God and have God first in their heart, Its a relationship. Signs of existance hmmmm how about us and the earth. Or do you think this was an accident, the human body is so complex it cant be just by chance!Have lots of doubts about God, Jesus, or the Bible? Most people who think about this do wonder "How do I know that what the Bible says is true?" At ---, we think that this is an excellent question deserving an excellent answer, and that's what we provide in our "Facts Behind the Faith" seminar. Contrary to what you may have heard, God doesn't ever expect us to have "blind faith." He has always proven what He has said, and He's done that conclusively. The only thing that separates Christianity from every other religion is that it can PROVE what it says to be true. No other religion can. We can prove logically, scientifically, and archaeologically that God must exist, that the Bible is directly from God, that Jesus was God's Son, and even that He rose from the dead. Sound impossible? Then you owe it to yourself to force us to prove it. We guarantee that you'll be amazed at what you learn, and you deserve PROOF. Let us give you some  Go to this site and check out the simnars

Yes, I've seen Dogma. In the Bible, he's considered as "he". and in our society, the man is the strongest. That's something to really think aout. But I would rather leave that to God.
