I believe that Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He was fully human in every aspect and fully God at the same time. So he got tried and got hungry and thirsty. He was born as a baby and grew up in the various stages of life just like us. Yet his life and works speak to the fact that he was no ordinary man. He clearly had miraculous powers. The Scriptures point out the fact that he was without sin (2Cor.5:21) he did no evil nor spoke anything evil (1Pet.2:22-24) Jesu claimed that there was no other way of getting to heaven except by him (John 14:6) "I am the way the truth and the life and No man comes unto the Father but by me" It is through him that we can have all of our sins forgiven and have eternal life. WE must come to him by faith alone apart from works to receive him as our personal Lord & Savior.

"No man comes unto the Father but by me" This clearly states that he is not a God but nothing more than a gate keeper to the "Gates of Heaven" No where in the bible does it say that Jesus is or ever was a God. He was the SON OF GOD, not a God himself. I am not a Christian I am Wiccan but I was brought up Christian and I know that the bible dosnt call Jesus a God just the son.

Understanding what Jesus was claiming from a Jewish frame of reference is that a Son was an equal. Jewish boys have their bar mitzpha at age 12 - A Son of the Law- That meant that the Son was equal with the father's inheritance (see Gal.4:1-4 for an illustration). So when Jesus said he was the Son of God the Jews understood clearly what he was talking about. John 5:18 clearly shows this "Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God". To be the Son of God was to be equal with God. John 10:30-31 Jesus said, "I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him" Jesus claims that he and the Father are of one essence- one being. Why would the Jews stone him? V32-33 "Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy and because that thou being a man, makest thyself God". The Jews ( The Jewish leadership) understood exactly what Jesus was claiming. Jesus does not try to correct them. This would have been the perfect time for Jesus to say- Hey, you guys got it all wrong, I'm just the Son of God, I'm not really God. But he does not do any correcting. In John 8:58 Jesus claims to be before Abraham & he claims it by using an Old Testement name for God- I Am. V58 Jesus said unto them Verily verily, I say unto you Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him: But Jesus hid himself and went out of the Temple going through the midst of them,..." Again, Jesus makes claims that he is God, Jehovah I Am. The Jews understanding what he has done pick up stones again to try to kill him. It is also taught in the Epistles and in the OT through prophesy that the messiah would be the God-man. Please consider these passages in your understanding of who Jesus is & claimed to be.

Jesus is NOT a god he was the son of God there is a diffrence. Jesus when he was alive was a normal man like any other. There is nothing that states that he was a God.
