Jesus Christ is both God and man. There is no reason why God can't be both man and God. And the Bible teaches that Jesus is both 100% man and 100% God.

Thanks for the response and sharing your opinion. But God didn't want to be a man "For I am God, and not man- the Holy One among you. I will not come in wrath." Hosea 11:9. Hmm what verse is that? As I remember Jesus doesn't say anything that he is a God. Thus "I ascend to My Father and your Gather, and My God and your God." John 20:17. Which means he is not God because he said "My God"

That verse from Hosea can be interpreted another way. I shall not attempt that now, though. Jesus never explicitly claimed that he is God. But he did things that only God has the prerogative to do. For example, he forgave the sins of the paralytic in Mark 2. He claimed "I am" in John 8:58. And in the opening verse of the book of John, the writer said that the 'word was God' and that 'word' became flesh i.e. human (1:14). Paul wrote in colossian first chapter that it is by Jesus all things were created.
Jesus also used that title 'son of man' so many times borrowing the messianic imagery from the Daniel 7 to whom all peoples worship, due only to God. Jesus called God the Father his father, but that does not mean that Jesus is not God.
Trinitarian concept is very much there in the Bible.

When Jesus was baptized by John, God spoke from Heaven and said, "This is my beloved Son...." If Jesus was the Son of God, he cannot be a mere man. I believe He only took on the form of man temporarily to show us the way to become reconciled to God.

Suppose if you created a device , any device probably a computer now you have designed it in a way to function properly if it is not then are you going to become a computer yourself to explain it the functioning,ofcourse not.So when man is God's creation, if we do not follow the right path then he would select someone out of us who is the most faithfull and pure in nature to guide others to the right path.I think it seems to have sense.

It's my belief that God, being so utterly wise, pondered all things, before he began creation. I believe that he could (of course) see all possibilities, and that he has chosen and done all things in order to bring about the absolutely best possible 'end' result. I believe the first thing God (unindifferentiated God - "in the beginning - God..") did was to bring forth the "firstborn of all creation" - "the Word of God, who was with God in the beginning.." - This one was Christ, who is called "the only begotten Son of God" - He is the first out from God, and all else "was created in and through him" (Jesus). Being the first and only straight-out-from-God, he is forever the purest. And he is also of the same substance and essence of God, and therefore the Father and Son are (yes) two, but they are also one! In the plant kingdom, for instance, there are many, but in the God Kingdom, there are two.

I cannot understand the idea that the Son is the Father; that they are only one, and not two, for then I would have to wonder who Jesus was talking to the many times He said "Father.."
And He said "I go to my father, and your father.. I go to prepare a place for you that where I am, you may be" i.e. 'I go to be crucified, that where I am, you may be.'
Since all creation was "in Jesus" in the beginning, "all things are being gathered" back "into Christ" (fully gathered after this unavoidable universal lesson, that is.)

Our Lord Jesus is not GOD. He is a human, according to the bible. i'm only not particular in the verses.

Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. He and God are One and the Same.
God became a man...Jesus Christ. He came to teach us to love and to forgive, but mainly to die in our place for our sins. Because of Him, we can live forever with Him in Heaven and that is so exciting for me!
The Bible says that we will see the Son sitting at the right hand of God the Father. What an amazing sight that will be!
There is nothing like knowing the Lord!

Well, Jesus is the Messiah for Christians. That means he is like a god sent down from heaven to use a human body to save all Christians from what was happening to them. That means I believe he is both. He is both because if God had reproduced with Mary, then that means he would have the hereditary of God and Mary. That is my reasoning behind that.

Yes, I believe in Jesus Christ my lord and savior. I believe it because I was raised to believe it. I had thought about it after I was out of my parents house. I still do believe Jesus is my Lord and savior. He was put on this earth to teach about God and to teach us about love.
