Was Jesus just a man

Answer 1

The power of attorney or right of rule is transferred From King to birthright holding son.

"When you see me you see the father" , He came with full power to represent the throne of his father. Just as one can authorize another to sign his checks, creating a second person of the first A as power of attorney. So a man can be both himself and the person whose power of attorney he has been granted. In Christ's case he was the Son of (wo)man (mankind) and God by power of attorney.

Answer 2

a prophet from god (a Man) or just a created myth?

Well a close examination of the evidence shows that the best explanation for the story of "Jesus Christ" is what we call "mythology" Because there never was any "Jesus Christ" nor any meaningful real life basis for the story of "Jesus Christ". Like many other religious figures, "Jesus Christ" began as a theological concept, was later used as a character in allegorical stories, and was then historicized as someone whom people believed really existed. The belief in a literal "human" Jesus most likely emerged as eucharist rituals and theology developed around the concept of the "flesh" and "blood" of Christ and these concepts merged with allegorical narratives about the figure.

There are many important facts that support this conclusion. First let's look at an outline of some of the major points in this case:

The Gospel of Mark was the first story of Jesus that was written, and all others are dependent on it

The Gospel of Mark shows clear signs of being written as an allegorical fiction

Virtually every detail of the life of Jesus comes from "Old Testament" scriptures

Some of the details of the life of Jesus are based on mistranslations of the Hebrew scriptures

Jesus' crucifixion on Passover defies historical believability, yet makes perfect sense metaphorically

The Gospels make many claims that are contradicted by the historical record

The earliest writings about Jesus, from Paul and others, contain no details of his life

Many statements in the letters of Paul only make sense if Paul does not view Jesus Christ as a historical person

There is not one single writing from or about Jesus during his supposed lifetime

Philo, a prolific Jewish writer who lived from 20 BCE to 50 CE, wrote extensively about the political and theological movements throughout the Mediterranean, and his views foreshadowed Christian theology, yet he never once wrote anything about Jesus. Not only this, but he actually wrote about political conflicts between the Jews and Pontius Pilate in Judea

All of the non-Christian references to Jesus can be shown to have either been introduced later by Christian scribes or were originally based on Christian claims

There is no evidence of any knowledge of a tomb of Jesus (empty or occupied) prior to the Gospel stories

There were many conflicting beliefs about who Jesus Christ was in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd centuries, including beliefs that he had never existed on earth "in the flesh"

The Catholics made purely theological arguments as to why Jesus Christ had to have existed "in the flesh"

It is important to note that we have one, and only one, source of information about the life of Jesus and that is the (4) Christian Gospels. The Gospels are the sole source of information about this figure; everything that we "know" about "him" depends on these (4) sources.The oldest of which has been dated to only the 2nd century,The Authors of which are all assumed and can not be verified,other than the geographical references and the references to rulers of the times in the (4) gospels there is no other evidence for the exsistence of Jesus,his life,his miracles,his desciples,his death,his resurection.Jesus has as much evidence for his exsistence as does the Greek Half-god Hercules does for his.

The origin of the Gospels has never been proven. At no point has anyone proven with verifiable evidence who wrote any of the Gospels, when they were written, or even where they were written. Each of the Gospels could have been written anywhere from Egypt to Rome, and the estimated dates for their writing range from around 150 CE at the earliest estimates to about 250 CE at the latest, with a minority of people proposing dates into the 4th century.

Answer 3

This completely depends on your religion. For Christians, yes. Muslims or Jews, no.

Answer:

Actually... one's religion has nothing to do with it.

Jesus was the Creator of all things [the WORD of God - John 1:3] who became a man, born the Son of God in order to save mankind -- whether anyone "believes" it or not.

He: "...made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross [stauros]." (Philip. 2:7-8).

"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the Devil... For verily [truly] He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham." (Heb.2:14-16)

Truth doesn't require anyone to believe it. It's still Truth.

"...Thy Word is Truth..." (John 17:17).

Answer 4

I'm not sure if this will help or not, this is just an analogy: You are a spirit, you are also a physical body. You are flesh and blood, but when you die, your body dies, but your spirit lives on. When your parents came together and created you in the womb, even as a one cell fertilized ovum, you were 100% fully you. The analogy (and this is not perfect) would be Our Blessed Lord was always 100% God, from all eternity, and will continue to be 100% God through all eternity, but at the incarnation, He assumed a human body, howbeit first He just started out as a fertilized ovum just like the rest of us. But at that instant, there was absolutely no difference between Him and you as a human being. Don't think that is perfect, and don't know if it helps.

Answer 5

No, according to The Bible, he was/is God.

Answer 6

It depends on your beliefs about him as to if he was a man or divine being.

Answer 7

A:As a matter of faith, Christians believe that Jesus is both truly devine and truly human.
