Ive been giving it some thaught recently that Jesus said that he was God back in the day, but what confuses me is the fact that god created the heavens and the earth and says in the bible that he sent his "one and only son" but if god sent him how can Jesus be called God! Who is God then? What do u think?

Jesus and God Almighty are one. if you will look at john chapter 10 verses 30-38, Jesus said "I and my Father are one".Here i will include the entire verse: 30. I and my Father are one. 31. then the jews took up stones again to stone him. 32. Many good works have i showed you from y father from which of thos works do ye stone me? 33. The jews answered him saying, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because thou being a man, makest thyself GOD, 34. Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, i said, Ye are gods? 35. If he called them gods, unto whom the word of GOD came, and the scripture cannot be broken, 36. says ye of him whom the father hath sanctified and sent into the world, thou blasphemest, because i said i am the SOn of GOD? 37. If i do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38. But if i do though ye believe not me, believe the works that ye may know and believe that the father is in me and i in him. =end= Jesus, GOD the father and the Holy Spirit form a Holy Trinity.

Read your bible dude... Jesus NEVER claimed to be God... and when questioned he only said, "That's what you say I am." According the Bible, the words "I am God" never came from his lips... it was others who claimed he was the son of God... And he never corrected them, suggesting that he agreed, but didn't confirm it. I personally believe that he was the son of God. He was God's representative on earth.. God made flesh if you like. I think you need to ignore the thoughts of anyone around you and search for the answers within yourself. Don't just think about it and use our views, but look inside your heart.

Genesis 1:26 says God said "Let US make man in our image." Jesus and the Holy Spirit were both there in the beginning. They are like a family. They are equal like a husband and wife should be, but have differen jobs concerning us. They are in agreement in all that they do. God did notorder Jusus to come to the earth to die for our sins. He came of his own accord because of His love for God the father Nand for us His children. Would not your parents lay down thier live for you if they loved you? Would some onehave to make your mother or father give up thier life for you? That is the way with Jesus.

ReRead your bible Jesus never claimed to be god. If GOD created the heavens and earth where did it come from (God)? Being alone in the void God would have to be a creature that divide to reproduce other wise with out parents it would not be around to create. I think god was an alien or maybe the concept was created by a human to justify explotation of others. One thing I know for sure organized religion is a scam.
