Do you believe Jesus was God or that he was sent by God?

He said himself that he was sent by God.

In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God. John 1:1

And the Word was made flesh (Jesus, the incarnation), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh (Jesus), justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16

I believe in both.

Jesus is God and was sent by the Father who is also God.

The Trinity is true. =)

He was sent by god.

John 6:32
Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

John 6:33
For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

John 14:10
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

John 14:11
Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Colossians 2:8-10 (NKJV)
8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

Ephesians 2:14-18 (NKJV)
Christ Our Peace
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

John 1:17-18 (NKJV)
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son,[a] who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

1 John 1:1-3 (NKJV)
What Was Heard, Seen, and Touched
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— 2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

Yes... definitely.

I know you think that isn't a proper answer.... but it is... I believe both are true. I believe that because God is divine, not human, and He lives by His own rules. he has 3 different aspects like 3 sides or 3 characters or 3 faces. Like water and steam and ice. Jesus was there in the beginning, He was called the Word, and He became flesh in the form of Jesus. But God created the universe and Jesus called Him Father when He was here with us. He said he who has seen me has seen my Father... not too difficult to understand, lots of people are just like their Dad.

I believe and know that Jesus is God's son that he sent to this earth to preach about his Father's kingdom and to die for us.

Yes to both, as the Bible clearly teaches.

How do the Scriptures read? [those that are accurate and true].

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

* Translated from German.




These translations use such words as "a god," "divine" or "godlike" because
the Greek word (theos) is a singular predicate noun occurring before the verb
and is not preceded by the definite article. This is an anarthrous theos.
On the other hand, theos, preceded by the definite article ho is referred to as
an articular theos.

Careful translators recognize that the articular construction of the noun points
to an identity, a personality, whereas a singular anarthrous predicate noun
preceding the verb, points to a quality about someone.

Both:)

He was a part of God(Trinity)

When you speak, you send out an idea on yourself
When God spoke, he sent out his son Jesus
So Through Jesus we can understand God the father

(The symbolism goes bad if you think about how deaf people communicate)

Both
God is ONE being consisting of three persons (Father Son Holy Spirit). The Father (God) sent the Son (God) to die for us.

I believe he is God's son, plain and simple. He said over and over in the gospels that he was God's son. He never claimed to be God. Some use John 1:1 to try to say that he is. But first century Greek language lacked a word for "a" so if you were to translate it straight through without modifications for English, it would read "the word was god", but in English it would read "the word was a god". However, in the Greek language they do have a word for "the" which they are very careful to place in front of any word that is meant to be definite. In instances where they are talking about Almighty God, you will find the Greek word for "the" in front of it. So why would Jesus be called "a god"? There are other various places in the Bible that refer to humans as gods. Even Satan is referred to as "the god of this world". So in these cases the word "god" could refer to someone who simply is worshiped or revered by others and/or is powerful. It doesn't mean that they are the Almighty God. You really have to read the context of certain scriptures and do some research to really understand which they mean. On another note, God doesn't intend to confused us and hide what he is from us. With some research on the original language, it becomes clear what the meaning is.
There are also other phrases in the Bible that people use to support the trinity. Such as when Jesus says "if you've seen me you've seen my father also". Could this not mean that they share enough personality traits that a person could look at Jesus and know what sort of person God is? Also when Jesus says that "The father and I are one." This could also mean that their goals and opinions are the same as one another? I could say the same thing about me and my husband. But that doesn't make us the same person. It's also rather hard to refute John 1:18, which says that no man has seen God at any time. If Jesus were God, the Bible would be contradicting itself considering that thousands of people had seen Jesus.

Jesus Christ

Definition:

The only-begotten Son of God, the only Son produced by Jehovah alone. This Son is the firstborn of all creation. By means of him all other things in heaven and on earth were created. He is the second-greatest personage in the universe. It is this Son whom Jehovah sent to the earth to give his life as a ransom for mankind, thus opening the way to eternal life for those of Adam’s offspring who would exercise faith. This same Son, restored to heavenly glory, now rules as King, with authority to destroy all the wicked and to carry out his Father’s original purpose for the earth. The Hebrew form of the name Jesus means “Jehovah Is Salvation”; Christ is the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma·shi′ach (Messiah), meaning “Anointed One.”

.

There should be no doubt about who Jesus is, as GOD HIMSELF told us ........

at Matthew 3:14-17.

.

John 1

Jesus is divine, though distinct from the Father. He is God; he was sent by God the Father.

I agree wholeheartedly with Judah, "King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3:16

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 8:58

The Bible tells us that Jesus is Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Living One who died and came to life again. Jesus as the beginning and end of all things is a reference to no one but the true God. This statement of eternality could apply only to God. It is seen especially in Revelation 22:12-13, where Jesus proclaims he is coming soon, that He is “the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”

Just think the Lord of glory took upon Himself a robe of flesh, became a man for the express purpose of offering Himself as a sacrifice for our sins!!!

gatita

Baptized in Jesus Name according to Acts 2:38

My faith in the One who died for me

I don't believe jesus existed.

He is fictional character.

I adhere to standard Christian theology, unlike JWs and LDS. So I believe Jesus was God.

Neither, actually. If he existed at all he was some rabble-rouser that legends and tall stories grew up around decades after his death.

It is a fable

Both! Jesus IS God -God the Son - and He was sent by God the Father:

The Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. - 1 John 4:14

God does not have a literal wife with whom he fathered children. But he is the Creator of all life. (Revelation 4:11) Therefore, the first human that God created, Adam, is called a “son of God.” (Luke 3:38) Similarly, the Bible teaches that Jesus was created by God. So Jesus is also called a “Son of God.”—John 1:49.

God created Jesus before he created Adam. Regarding Jesus, the apostle Paul wrote: “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.” (Colossians 1:15) Jesus’ life began long before he was born in a stable in Bethlehem. In fact, the Bible says that his “origin is from early times, from the days of time indefinite.” (Micah 5:2) As God’s firstborn Son, Jesus was a spirit creature in heaven before he was born as a human on earth. Jesus himself said: “I have come down from heaven.”—John 6:38; 8:23.

I believe Jesus existed but most of the stories about him were made up years and years after his time.

God I do not believe is real.
