  • Can't. Some people are just seriously confused.
  • God is our father, Jesus is the son of God. He is not both. God is our creater and he sent his son to be born on earth and he died for our sins.
  • He's god. He's the all knowing, superdude of everything. So he can be both. Unless of course you don't believe in him, then he's nothing.
  • One way to think about it: God is another name for Being, the eternal creative force in the universe. All creatures are extensions of being or part of it. Similar to the way the waves are part of the ocean, or sunlight beams are part of the sun. So if you see the wave (son) do you not say, I am seeing the ocean (father) as well? Or if you see the sun (father) are you not also seeing the beams (son)? You are, because they are one and the same. Hope that helps you to think about it
  • God can be anybody he wants to be. It is nice to be god.
  • Everthing about God is a miracle. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states there is one true God who is made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. The Bible does not contain the word Trinity. However, the Holy Trinity is hinted at repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. For many biblical references, see: http://www.cwo.com/~pentrack/catholic/Trinity.txt Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the early Christians prayed and struggled over these hints for a couple of centuries. The concept of the Holy Trinity (three equal persons in one God) was mainstream Christianity in 325 C.E. at the Council of Nicaea and our belief is expressed in the Nicene Creed. How this works is not fully known and is one the Christian mysteries. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and the Salvation Army. For more information, see Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 232 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt1art1p2.shtml#232 The major non-Trinitarian churches are Christadelphianism, Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Arian Catholicism, Unitarianism, Nontrinitarianism, and Oneness Pentecostals. With love in Christ.
  • how was satan able to become a snake? yet still be satan? HIS POWER /Holy Spirit is that of the magnitude that HE can do anything and be anything...HE was a burning bush, a cloud, a ball of fire....etc....HE could be on EARTH , after all , earth is satan's kingdom, while HE was here in flesh....HE just showed us how to resist him...:)
  • Well if Dogs have Dogs you Get Dogs Cats Have Cats you Cats If God had a Son it would be a God. If human have human it would be a human So Jesus is half man half God. So how many know when you look at some one who is a half bread you call him what his Father is. See this where you have to believe in Virgin birth. And that we where made in his image.
  • Slight of hand? [sorry] ;-)
  • Because it's all a lie.
  • These are some ways "we" look at it to understand something unusual to us.(us christians) like an egg their are three parts of one piece, shell,yolk,white, ... all make up one egg. each part must be there for it to be an egg and with each part to do a distinctive job. or its like the three normal states of matter. solid liquid gas like ice water and steam. it can be each of itsself and can change continually accordingly. three states of being and still its H2O these are not perfect but it gives a tangible understanding for things in the Bible when questions occur, God usually makes great statements saying, "its like a..." to give us a reference to something that is perhaps beyond our grasp. God bless on your search for truth
  • Because there are three persons in God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Therefore it is all in the definition. When you are dealing with philosophy and metaphysics these things are possible.
  • Define "God". Is God merely a single Being like each of us? Or is He bigger than us?
  • Its the magic of a fiction novel. Anything is possible.
  • Perhaps the same way I can be both a father and husband?
  • With religions, there are no objective facts with which to test, verify or falsify a concept. Therefore everything is equally likely to be true. Anything and everything. What that means is that you can make up any rules you like and they are jjust as good and accurate ans any others. So, if you want 3=1 and 1=3 to be true, it is. If you wants god the world to have been created by an all powerful and all loveing god then it is so - despite the presence of pediatric oncology departments in every bigger hopsital - so be it. So, father = son is a simple one. It's a miracle, or in other words, the person(s) making that claim made the rules that way. +5
  • I am a Christian, but I don't pretend to know the mind of God. I know that with God, all things are possible, so I hold on to that faith.
  • Tertullian (who was one of the first to use the word "trinity" in reference to God) and Hippolytus of Rome succeeded in changing the mode of water baptism from being performed "in the name of Jesus Christ" to use of the titles "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," thereby abandoning the "only NAME given among men whereby we must be saved" in baptism. Water baptism by total immersion in water in the name of Jesus Christ was a primordial, core doctrine of the twelve apostles. Read the New Testament for yourself. You will see it clearly. Every baptism recorded in the New Testament was performed in the name of the Lord Jesus. But in the newly redefined Roman Catholic Church, the name of Jesus was extirpated, excised from water baptism. The Catholic Encyclopedia, II, page 263, says, "The baptismal formula was changed from the name of Jesus Christ to the words Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the Catholic Church in the second century." Hastings Dictionary of the Bible, 1963, page 1015, says, "The Trinity... is not demonstrable by logic or by Scriptural proofs,...The term Trias was first used by Theophilus of Antioch (c AD 180), ...(The term Trinity) is not found in Scripture." The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, I, 275, says, "It is often affirmed that the words in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost are not the ipsissima verba [exact words] of Jesus, but...a later liturgical addition."
  • Self-impregnated hermaphrodite...?
  • God has no son. Jesus is a prophet.
  • Ok, listen carefully. God is Darth Vader, Jesus is Luke Skywalker, and the Holy Spirit is "The Force." Like Darth Vader destroying Alderan, God was the guy who destroyed all life on Earth, (except an ark-full). Jesus is "the new hope," preaching love and peace instead of planet-destroying vengeance. While God and Jesus are separate entities (father and son), both are imbued with the holy spirit; like Luke and Darth, both wield the Force, which unites them. Hope it makes sense now. :D

  • Well, I'm my own grandpaw...GEEZ.
