Was God not a Christian until Jesus came around?

[Eko]

[rurallib]

1. probably not

because God didn't know what the parents would name the little tyke.

[keithbvadu2]

7. An all-powerful God would know in advance

I was taught that God is all-knowing; past, present, and future.

[elleng]

2. Isn't 'god' just 'god,'

without any people-created 'caption?' Isn't that good enough?

[Eko]

9. Isnt "god"

a people created caption?

[elleng]

10. Yes indeed.

Personally, I refer to 'it' as nature.

[Major Nikon]

3. Jesus wasn't even a Christian when Jesus came around

[keithbvadu2]

5. Jesus was never a Christian. He died a Jew.

Jesus was never a Christian. He died a Jew.

[Clash City Rocker]

4. Huh? People are Christians. God isn't a person.

I really don’t understand the question you’re asking. Christians are people who follow Christ’s teachings and worship God.

[Eko]

8. So that makes God not a Christian.

Just saying.

[Clash City Rocker]

14. Yes. Why does that not surprise you?

God created all of us. Christians worship him, rather than him worshipping his son. The question makes no sense.

[Iggo]

22. Christians worship his son.

[Dorian Gray]

24. Christians worship God

Christ is part of the trinity that is god.

[Iggo]

25. Google "Jesus is Lord."

(And ignore all the Kanye shit...lol.)

[Dorian Gray]

31. It's all kanye shit now.

That's where we are.

[Iggo]

32. For real.

[Voltaire2]

16. according to christians (well the vast majority of them) god was indeed a person

[democratisphere]

6. God or the Great Spirit is nondenominational.

There is no such thing as Christian exceptionalism including the former existence or not of Jesus.

[SCantiGOP]

11. I think of God

as sitting in heaven with a colander on his head and a big plate of Ragu spaghetti on his table.

R’amen.

[edhopper]

18. Our pasta, who art in a colander, draining be your noodles.

Thy noodle come, Thy sauce be yum, on top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day our garlic bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trample on our lawns. ... Blessed are you among sauces, and blessed is the spice from your shaker.

12. Being a Christian is a human condition

Being a God is not.

[Major Nikon]

13. Being a god is also a human condition

Jesus was (at least allegedly) a human who was deified. The pharaohs and countless other monarchs have been deified throughout human history. Almost without exception even metaphysical gods are subject to anthropomorphism. Humans create gods in their own image.

[Loki Liesmith]

28. No that's incorrect with respect to Christian doctrine.

Christians believe Christ is fully God and fully Man, not a human who was made into God.

[Major Nikon]

29. If you want to talk doctrine, you are incorrect per some Christian doctrines

Not all are the same, and some do not deify Christ at all.

But I’m not talking doctrine. I’m saying hocus pocus mythology aside most theistic religions create one or more gods from the human condition, including Christianity. That’s why not surprisingly god wants and hates the same things His creators do. Very telling that.

[guillaumeb]

15. The Creator is the Creator.

We are all part of the Creator as we are all a part of creation.

[edhopper]

17. Thanks Deepak.

[guillaumeb]

19. You are welcome ed.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

20. Moses, Elijah, Jesus ... God's 'yes men'.

... oh and now TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Iggo]

21. Yes.

[Dorian Gray]

23. I don't understand the question

God is God. Christianity is a group of religious, each having different tenets, that explain the existence of God.

[PuppyBismark]

26. He was Jewish just like Jesus. N/T

[Loki Liesmith]

27. Since Christians self identify as those saved from their sin by Christ's death

Then, being sinless, God cannot be a Christian.

Did that really need a thread?

[Act_of_Reparation]

33. Who says God is sinless?

I got a big list of atrocities that begs to differ.

[samnsara]

30. wow thats heavy man
