Is Jesus a God or a Human? Let me see your ideas
Some catholics told me he is a god, other catholics told me he is a human. I even had 1 catholic tell me that he was a god and then few months later he told me he was a human.
The whole thing is confusing, but the most popular belief is that he is a human and that he is god's soon.
Jesus, if he ever did indeed exists, and I have serious doubts about that (not even his supposed day of birth make sense if people did any real research on it), if born today and gathered a flock of people to him just as the Jesus in the bible supposedly did, would be called a cult leader and would quickly find himself either in prison, dead from the gun of a federal agent, dead from a ritualistic suicide (along with many of his followers), or locked away in a padded room in insane asylum somewhere.

This is mainly my belief as well. Nothing I have seen in the world has ever convinced me that it's possible for a man to do what the book called the Bible claims that Jesus did. I won't say he didn't exist at all though, it's been proven from old records that a man called Jesus of Nazareth lived, no?I guess religiously he'd be a demigod. Born of god and human so..
Realistically Jesus was human. I personally don't believe Jesus had any fancy superpowers but that he was a vastly generous and heretical man. Mortal as any of us, maybe he was a slippery fellow too to convince the world he had died only to remerge several days later.
I have experienced this as well 8)Well, when I ate part of him he tasted more like saltines and wine rather than a human or a god.
Of course it becomes uncertain; the main question is if you want to believe what the book and religions say or if you don't.It is safe to assume that he existed and was most certainly human. Anything beyond that, and it becomes much less certain.
Wow, I do like what you're saying. What I do believe is that we are more than just flesh and brainwaves, so every human being should have a divine side. It's still hard to believe if you have a scientific brain and have been brought up in a secular country with no state religion, but if there's anything I want to believe, it would be something like this. Jesus might have been able to manifest some part of himself that most people don't.Can't... not... Chime in.
I hold it to be true that Jesus was fully human and fully divine. This is unavoidable, as I also hold it to be true that we are all divine beings on a human journey. It seems quite clear to me that the entire process of evolution, from geosphere to biosphere to noosphere to theosphere, is simply the Divine awakening to itself. The Mystery - Spirit - is the Ground, Process, and Goal, unfolding moment to moment.
Fundamentally, the only difference between men like Jesus or Buddha and most of us is that they consciously manifested their divine nature.
That is, of course, if you want to believe that he actually rose from the dead. This part of the story is a bit too far-fetched and I've been wondering what possible explanations there could be for people seeing him after his presumed death. Perhaps he faked it. Perhaps some part of him actually lingered on our Earth and could interact with the disciples and other people. Or perhaps God actually revived him.These complicated answers gave me a headache, holy crap. Anyhow I believe that Jesus is man and not man as well. He was born of two regular humans yet our run-of-the-mill average male cannot rise from the dead. So yeah, man and divine.
