1. Jesus has two natures, He is God

2. Each nature is full and complete ,
He is fully God and fully man.
3. Each nature remains distinct.
4. Christ is only one Person.
5. Things that are true of only one

Jesus is a man. A man who was possessed by God.

1. Jesus is not the Father .

2 . The Father in me doesnt mean the Father dwells in Jesus , not a literal statement

Take for example john 17:21

" that they may be in us" , does it mean the apostles will dissapear to literally dwell inside Jesus and his father in heaven ?

why do you keep on believing in false doctrine? Who say Jesus is the father? Let us quote the John 17:21-23

21 that all of them may be one, Father, JUST as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

This verse is a prayer to all believers. In verse 21 the word "just" indicate it was an EXAMPLE , just as God is in Jesus, Jesus urge the believers to be ONE , Jesus was teaching how the disciples can have relationship with God,

Jazz is very powerful in stories but when the camera crew comes along it is explained quite easily. I remember when National Geographic was still a quality network, they did a documentary on all those guys who use 'jazz' to stab themselves and feel no pain. The theory was that it was the power of the mind can sometimes translate to the body.

For example, if a person is having aches, dctors give them sugar pills and lie that they are painkillers and sure enough, it works. So to test it out the guy National Geographic guy who was doing the investigation convinced himself that he could do all these stuff, so he psyched himself up and stabbed himself through the cheek with no pain.

Nothing supernatural after all, just mind over matter.

God is not bound to keep our time, that which may not come quickly in your time may be hastened in His time, until then act on what you already understand on God. Rely on what you already have, God is unlikely to squander further enlightenment upon us. We don't decide on when to encounter God, God does. Neither do we have the final say as to when God will lose patience with us.

Simple question : who did Jesus call " God" at john 14:1 ?

Jesus, his human nature, call God His father on many occasions. What did Jesus mean when He say "I and the father are ONE? " further more, what did He means in this conversation with Philip;
John 14.
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know
me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.

I want you to carefully notice the last statement "The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority" what does this indicate? Jesus did not speak on His own authority, why ? Because it was the Father(God) who dwell in Him speak. (just like A demon possessed man do not speak on his own authority)

Malvisguy212 , in as much as I enjoyed reading the above analogy , i disagree .

- when Jesus say " God" , he is refering to His Father .

For example : john 14:1 " exercise faith in God, exercise faith also in me"

The big question is : who did he identify as God ? Himself ? Of course , not himself but his father .

Bro , nobody is good except God ( The Father)

Exercise Faith In God ( The Father) - John 14:1

Jesus christ is a man who was possessed by God Himself, that is why He say "I and the Father are ONE" why dint you quote the rest of John 14?

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t
know where you are going, so how can
we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the
truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me. 7 If you really
know me, you will know[b] my Father as
well. From now on, you do know him and
have seen him.”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father
and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me,
Philip, even after I have been among you
such a long time? Anyone who has seen
me has seen the Father. How can you
say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you
believe that I am in the Father, and that
the Father is in me? The words I say to
you I do not speak on my own authority.
Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who
is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I
say that I am in the Father and the
Father is in me; or at least believe on the
evidence of the works themselves. 12
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in
me will do the works I have been doing,
and they will do even greater things than
these, because I am going to the Father.
13 And I will do whatever you ask in my

Christianity Etc › Why Do You Call Me Good? Analyze. by malvisguy212(op): 4:08pm On Nov 15, 2015

In the Gospels, a rich, young man approached Jesus and said to him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus gave the infamous reply,“Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.” This story is
found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke; critics of Jesus’ claims to deity often use it as ammunition in their case for a non-
divine Jesus. It seems, they argue, that
Jesus is denying deity here by refusing
the title ‘GOOD’ as it is something reserved solely for God. I contend that even a surface-level reading of this narrative does not even remotely support that conclusion.
I don’t see how Jesus’ clarification of
God’s nature is equivalent to him
denying deity. This is akin to someone
coming to me and calling me, “Dr. Paul.” I respond by saying, “Why do you call me
doctor? No man can be a doctor, only he
who holds a doctorate.”

I can either mean one of two things:

1. No one can be a doctor unless he
holds a doctorate.
2. I do not hold a doctorate.
3. Therefore, I am not a doctor.

or…

1. No one can be a doctor unless he
holds a doctorate.
2. I hold a doctorate.
3. Therefore, I am a doctor.

By asking “Why do you call me doctor?”,
am I denying my title? Of course not. I
am simply clarifying what the title
means. I am neither validating nor
rejecting the title. In any case, I don’t
have a doctorate (yet!) but the point still
stands.

You can see how such reasoning is
completely absurd, and yet this is what
we see when critics use Jesus’ words in
this passage to try to show his non deity. Having said all of that, let’s have another look at what Jesus said in this passage.

He only said two statements:

1. Why do you call me good?
2. No one is good except God

The only piece of information that Jesus
gave is this: No one is good but God.
There are 2 ways to understand his
statement:

1. Only God is good.
2. I am not good.
3. Therefore, I am not God.

or

1. Only God is good.
2. I am good.
3. Therefore, I am God.

In this specific instance, from these
words alone, Jesus does make known to
us which of these he meant. It is both
ignorant and presumptive of anyone to
use this passage, alone, to argue for
Jesus’ non-deity. Why should the first
reading be the desirable one over the
second reading? Jesus’ statement that
only God is good does not, itself, tell us
whether he was affirming or denying
being God.

But if we keep reading, we find that
Jesus sheds some light on what he
meant. Jesus answers the man’s original
question about obtaining eternal life
with this“You know the commandments:

‘You shall not murder, you shall not
commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.'”

The man responds :”Teacher, I have kept all of these since I was a boy.”

Then Jesus finishes with: “One thing you
lack. Go, sell everything you have then
come, follow me.”

To summarize: In response to the man’s
question, “What must I do to gain eternal life?”, Jesus responds by telling him to
follow the commandments. But which
commandments does Jesus list?
Notice that Jesus only lists the
commandments that dealt with civil
affairs. The Ten Commandments of
Moses were divided into 2 parts: Laws on
dealing with God and Laws on dealing
with others. Respectively, these were the
moral and civil laws. Jesus names the
civil law for the young man and the
young man responds like any good Jew
would, These I have kept since I was
young.” The man was doing great on
keeping the civil law, but not so much
with the moral law. Instead of then
quoting the first four commandments to
the young man,the commandments that
dealt with man’s relationship with God, Jesus told the young man, “Sell your
possessions and follow me.” In other
words, “Your god is your money. Get rid
of that and follow me.” Jesus is equating
obeying the moral law with following
himself. The manner in which men can
obtain eternal life is by getting rid of the
false gods in their lives and following
Jesus , replacing them with him!
This claim is monumental! And it gives us
an answer to our initial dilemma. Did
Jesus deny or affirm his deity in asking,
“Why do you call me good?” I think the
answer is clear in light of the rest of that
conversation with the young man. Jesus
equated following himself with keeping
the moral law and obeying the
commandments that governed man’s
relationship with God. Thus, in bringing
up this passage as ammunition for a
non-divine Jesus, the critic shoots
himself in the foot by bringing to the
table a text in which Jesus clearly claims
deity.

Christians in the world today are battling to change the world from 'bad' to 'good'.

Biblically, God sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ to save the world, after seeing the level of 'corruption'. ....but, when different aspects of our culture, & religion are examined, they still show signs of 'satanism'. For instance, name of days, & calendar of major events today originated from those 'satanic' religion...

Are those past life-styles really evil? Is it that the world is a battle field among g(G)ods that existed as siblings? How did we get to this point??

the bible say God created this world and gave man the DOMINION to rule,and the bible also say sin separate us from God. The day man sin, it separate us from God living man alone with satan. It was in Genesis chapter 3 that Adam
relinquished his crown to Satan; Satan
gladly assumed dominion over the Earth, adam VOLUNTARY follow eve.

Satan is currently usurping God’s
authority in the Earth. Hence, Jesus
Christ said in John 18:36:

“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world,then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.”Jesus’ kingdom was “not of this world” in the sense that His kingdom was one from God rather than one from Satan. The Lord Jesus’ kingdom would not originate from the evil world system that is presently operating on Earth and in the heavens.

by really reading it in more depth, it
actually says the opposite. Only the children who "hate God", and sin themselves, are the ones who are punished, only the wicked and ungodly
children who are following the wicked example of their fathers are punished. The very next verse (Exodus 20:6) confirms that God shows mercy on the
children who love Him and keep his Law. This is in harmony with the teaching, "Each man shall die for his own sins" (2 Chronicles 25:4, Ezekiel

if faith is the opposite of doubt, than what is the opposite of faithless? Do you atheists have faith ? If doubt is the opposite of faith does it mean doubt is a bad thin? Doubt is not always a bad thing. Doubt is not the opposite of faith. In fact, it is by doubting that all of us have come to discard certain beliefs, while embracing others. In a way, we can’t have faith without doubting something else firs.

You still never demonstrate how faith is the best possible method to apply to verify whether an idea is justifiable to stand as fact.

List other things we can believe very strongly with the application of faith?

Quoting bible verses may not be necessary at this stage until you demonstrate that the bible is true amd reliable.

if you answer my question, then you will be clear on faith, is doubt the opposite of faith?

The book of job is the oldest book in the bible, even older than the book of Genesis, there are amazing claims in the book of job that we cannot ignored , things ONLY God could've known.

Job 38:16 Hast thou entered into the
springs of the sea? or hast thou walked
in the search of the depth?

We didn’t “walk in search of the depth [of the sea]“, I.E.,the deepest part of the
ocean, until 1875 when we discovered
the deepest point on Earth, the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench
(although we weren’t sure it was the
deepest point until much later). We
didn’t fully survey it until 1951. We didn’t actually “walk” in it until 1960!
But how does this prove the existence of
God?Simply the fact that in most ancient
cultures, the ocean HAD no bottom! The
Greek word abyss, used for the deep
ocean, literally means “bottomless”! And
3500 years ago, only God could have
known with such certainty that the ocean did in fact have a “depth”!!

Furthermore, in the same verse, a
completely separate proof exists; for to
the ancient mind, the idea of a “spring”
in the midst of the sea was unthinkable
and illogical. Why would there be water
pouring INTO the sea from underground
– the sea is where water came from! And mankind for all his technological
achievements didn’t discover underwater springs until 1949 – A.D.! Almost four millennium after Job was written! And even then, it wasn’t confirmed until 1960, and it wasn’t until 1979 that human beings first saw deep-sea springs with their own eyes! No one but God could possibly have known they existed four thousand years ago!

Job 38:18 Hast thou perceived the
breadth of the earth? declare if thou
knowest it all.

Man didn’t measure the circumference
(“breadth”) of the Earth with even remote accuracy until Eratosthenes did it in about 240 BC. But God knew exactly how large it was. For He sits “above the circle of it”.

Job 38:19 Where is the way where light
dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is
the place thereof, Until roughly the time of Newton, no one knew that there was a “way” where light “dwells” – that is, a direction where light comes from. Photons, the particles that carry and, for all practical purposes, are light, weren’t discovered until Einstein. The ancient Greeks, arguably the most scientifically advanced of the ancient cultures, believed what we perceived as light was actually “feeling rays” sent by the eye to “look” at the objects, which reflected them and made a picture. None of the Greeks seemed to realize that the idea begged the question of why we couldn’t see in the dark. And they had had the clearest ideas on light to date! Well… except for what God wrote in Job, a thousand years before. Only God knew
there was a place where light came from 4,000 years ago. No one really hit on the right idea – except in Job – until about 1000 A.D when the Arabic mathematician Alhazen realized the flaws in the Greek thinking. And it took another 500 years for his ideas to influence Europe through men like Galileo and Newton. And we didn’t REALLY start to understand it until a
century ago.
