What I've been told is that Jesus is simply a sinless man that is put in a world of sin that must resist temptation. He is essentially a man of perfection by always being obedient to God and never sinning even though he is given the choice. Because God is sinless the mediator must also be sinless but men born by men are born with sin. This is why God is his father I believe and since God can not be seen by man and can't be the mediator himself he had to make a man his son that could mediate between the sinful (us) and the sinless (him).
Wait sorry I didn't answer that fully... okay Jesus is actually a part of God Think of him as God if he was born human. Yes he is a man and God is his "father" but God is really all our fathers but in this sense God takes a piece of himself and makes it human. God has three parts the father the son and the holy spirit and all three make up the one God. I try to see it as we all have parts I am a son, a brother, a student, a employee and hopefully a father in the future. No one part defines me as whole and obviously God is more complex than us but in simple terms this is comparable. So weather you addresses me as so and so's son or whats his names brother I'm still the same person. God is God weather you address him as Jesus, God or the Holy Spirit the only difference is in the duties of those titles. Jesus being the brief moment in time God was human and died for our sins, the holy spirit being the comfort and counsel inside believers and God being the creator. God has many names and some may call him other things but Christianity breaks him into three to discuss and explain him in a clearer way to our simple human minds.
Actually God is real and supposedly Jesus is God. The Holy Ghost is actually (supposedly) God, too.
Are you nuts???
God and Jesus are one of the same, he was a sinless man in the holy trinity Jesus is God and God id Jesus
Jesus is GOD his god in his human form
The best thing to do is to use the bible as the final authority on the matter. lets do that now.
In fact, the God of the Bible is never described as being part of a Trinity. Note these Bible passages:
“Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.”—Deuteronomy 6:4.
“You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”—Psalm 83:18.
“This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”—John 17:3.
“God is only one.”—Galatians 3:20.
Jesus’ opposers accused him of making himself equal to God. (John 5:18; 10:30-33) However, Jesus never claimed to be on the same level as Almighty God. He said: “The Father is greater than I am.”—John 14:28.
Jesus’ early followers did not view him as being equal to Almighty God. For example, the apostle Paul wrote that after Jesus was resurrected, God “exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position.” Obviously, Paul did not believe that Jesus was Almighty God. Otherwise, how could God exalt Jesus to a superior position?
Notice to that Jesus was created, thus he cannot be equal to his father or be god himself because the creator is always greater then the created.
God created Jesus before creating Adam. In fact, God created Jesus and then used him to make everything else, including the angels. That is why the Bible calls Jesus “the firstborn of all creation” by God.—Read Colossians 1:15, 16.philippians 2:9.

I hope this helps
God is all three. It is impossible for our human minds to understand. Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God are divided because it isn't possible to understand it otherwise. The Bible uses the expression "Son" to try to make clear the relation. Are you a Christian? Let me ask you something, If you fully understood the relation between God and his son, would it change your faith, because if it doesn't, it doesn't matter.
Hello all. I just want to know where can I find the word Trinity in God's word the Bible? Even a passage will be helpful pertaining the the trinity. I have read the Bible and I am a lover of the Bible and enjoy reading. I have not found the word Trinity in the entire Bible....
Jesus both taught and showed us to whom we should pray.
In praying to his heavenly Father, Jesus set an example for us to follow
HIS TEACHING: When one of his disciples asked Jesus, “Lord, teach us how to pray,” Jesus replied: “Whenever you pray, say: ‘Father.’” (Luke 11:1, 2) Further, in his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus urged his listeners to pray. He said: “Pray to your Father.” He also reassured them by saying: “Your Father knows what you need even before you ask him.” (Matthew 6:6, 8) On his final night as a human, Jesus told his disciples: “If you ask the Father for anything, he will give it to you in my name.” (John 16:23) Jesus thus taught us to pray to the one who is both his Father and our Father, Jehovah God.—John 20:17.
Jesus is not God. He taught his followers to pray to God, his father, Jehovah. (Matthew 6:9, 10) “You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth."
The Scriptures direct us to offer our prayers through Jesus. He himself said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) For our prayers to be heard, we must pray only to Jehovah through his Son.
Jesus is not God. In the Bible, Jesus is called "The Son of God" (Matthew 16:16)
The true God, however, is the Creator of all things. He had no beginning and will never have an end. (Psalm 90:2) He is the Source of the good news found in the Bible. (1 Timothy 1:11) Since God gave us life, we should worship only him
In the popular prayer, Jesus said: “Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.” (Matthew 6:9) Although God has many titles, he has only one name. In each language, it is pronounced differently. In English it is usually pronounced “Jehovah.” But some people pronounce it “Yahweh.”—Read Psalm 83:18.

The scriptures show that Jesus Christ was the only begotten son of God. Jesus died as a perfect man as a ransom sacrifice for all mankind. John 3:16. But that didn't make him into God nor did he ever claim to want to be God. John 14:28 Jesus tells us that "you heard that I said to you I am going away and I am coming back to you. If you loved me you would rejoice that I am going to the father for the father is greater than I am." Even Jesus himself prayed to his heavenly Father Jehovah on occasions in the scriptures. The reason for us praying through Jesus is because of the ransom sacrifice being the only way we can reach the Almighty God.
You are right we should be praying to God and not to his son Jesus. There are many scriptures in the bible where Jesus himself confirmed that he is not God. Let's look at a few of them :
1) Matthew 27:46, just before Jesus was put to death he cried out,"My God,my God,why have you forsaken me?" This proves that Jesus acknowledges he was not God.
2) Jesus himself says at John 17:3,"This means everlasting life,their coming to know you,the only true God,and the one whom you sent ,Jesus Christ." Two persons is mention here. Jesus mention himself and God proving again that he is not God.
3) John 20:17 Jesus said to Mary," Stop clinging to me,for I have not yet ascended to the father. But go to my brothers and say to them,I am ascending to my father and your father and my God and your God." Again Jesus emphasize that he is not God .
4) Matthew 3:16/17 After Jesus baptism God's spirit descended on Jesus, Look! Also, a voice from the heavens said: "This is my Son,the beloved,whom I have approved." This time God himself acknowledging that he is God and Jesus is his son.
Hope the information clarify that Jesus is not God and that Jesus himself prayed to God and made it clear that he is not God and all should be praying to and acknowledging that his and our Heavenly Father is God.
Whether we pray to Jesus Christ as the son of God or we pray to the father who is the real God, it must be done by using our power of discrimination. When we truly love God and we yearn for God, we don't blindly follow our faith, we don't blindly follow the scriptures, we try to interpret the scripture in the right way. The scripture says: the kingdom of God is within you, Luke 17:20-21 or Corinthians 3:16: God lives in the temple of our heart. We try to understand what is that power within - the Spirit, the Soul... that is God. This is what the scriptures say but unfortunately, we blindly follow the herd. We have to stop doing this, if we want to realize God, if we want to become one with the Divine.
The scriptures very clearly tell us about Jesus being the son of God and how the father in heaven and the Holy Spirit exist. We must understand that God is everywhere, in everything, God is Jesus, God is the father, and God is the Spirit in you and me. Unfortunately, we don't want to realize the Truth, we don't want enlightenment. We want to build the fairy tales and the stories and also we keep on going round in circles to realize the Truth. We don't attain the state of Liberation, Salvation, and Unification with the Divine only because we think we are the body-mind and ego. We have to go beyond realizing our self, that is the first step that will ultimately lead to God-realization. First, we need Self-realization that we are the Divine Spirit.
If he s just a midle man why we are all concerned with his doings rather than minding the great god itself..
