What Christians Believe by UyiIredia(m): 4:31pm On Nov 10, 2017
Christians believe that God is the Creator of the universe. A spirit eternal, omniscient, omnipitent and omnipresent.

Christians also believe that Jesus is God. Jesus a man born of a virgin fully god and fully man.

THIS DOESNT MAKE SENSE.

Think about it.

God is the Creator but Jesus is the created, a man born of a woman.
God is only spirit but Jesus has flesh.
God is omniscient but Jesus was once ignorant as ababy and child.
God is omnipotent but Jesus wasn't mere weak man subject to natural forces.
God is omnipresent, everywhere, always was and always will be. Jesus was man who once didnt exist had to be born and isnt present everywhere..

An omniscient God doesnt need dto become man to understand and identify with mans condition. An unchangable God cannot change His nature to become that which he made.

Saying Jesus is both fully God and fully man is like saying a shape is fully square and fully circle. It is illogical and yet . . .

THIS IS WHAT CHRIATIANS BELIEVE.

The things of the spirit are foolishness to a natural man. The things of the spirit are spiritually discerned.

Christianity is makebelieve, Christians simply go along to get along; ask a bunch if Christians if they have a personal relationship with Jesus and they'll unanimously say YES!, ask them if Jesus is God or not and division starts

One question to my Christian friends:

DID JESUS THINK HE WAS GOD ALMIGHTY?

How can you say this when we have Bible believers disagree on many matters of the Bible?

Worth thinking on. It's simple logic God is eternal and unchangable. The Creator cannot be the created.

And Uyi, not all Christians believe in what you outlined in the OP, the more reason why we should question the supposed holy spirit responsible for interpreting the Bible.

Even if they actually 'seem' foolish to us, they aren't.
You see, God’s thoughts and ways are higher than ours and the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of man.

If you Ask me, i think the Bible is to be interpreted symbolically and not taken literally Just like we do to many esoteric write-ups. And when we do this, we should be careful Not to discard Everything written there as "Untrue" because when taken literally, these write-ups Might not seem plausible, but if analyzed from a symbolic perspective, Eventually makes "Sense". So we Should be Careful Not to PERMANENTLY Discard these Beliefs in their Entirety.

The Bible has the answer to all these. It's just that some Christians prefer to hear from their pastors rather than taking time to study and meditate on the word.
God is not an author of confusion.

Madam are you this ignorant of Christianity.

Catholics with 72 books in the Bible including Judith and Maccabees and Protestants with 66.
Jehovah Witnesses and Rastafarians with their own bible.
Doctrinal differences between Protestant Pentexostals like the Baptists, Lutherans and Puritans.
