Why jesus christ can't be GOD?
By biblical standard, it would be heretical to believe that Christ is God.
Bakit nga ba hindi? I'm catholic, so from a catholic perspective ang sagot ko. Diyos si Kristo dahil sinabi ito sa bibliya at dahil ito rin ang paniniwala ng iba pang kristiyano noong panahon na hindi pa naisusulat ang paniniwalang kristiyano. King James ang iq-quote ko dahil ito ang itinuturing ng nakararaming biblical scholars na pinaka-accurate na translation.
Nabanggit na ni Twentiwan ang John 1:1-10 at akala ko rin e bibigyan mo ito ng "magandang paliwanag", pero focus na lang tayo sa John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Malinaw naman siguro ang verse na yan, so paanong naging heretical na maniwalang Diyos si Kristo?
Matt 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Malinaw dito na sinasamba si Kristo.
Sa Heb 1:6-8 din
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Dito ay sinasamba si Kristo ng mga anghel at tinawag din siyang Diyos.
Never did he nor his apostles introduce him as God!
Never nga ba? Sa John 20:27-29 tinawag siyang Diyos ni Thomas:
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Sa John 10:30 naman, si Kristo mismo ang nagsabing Siya at ang Ama ay iisa
I and my Father are one.
Ang nabasa ko lang na paliwanag e kung bakit tao si Kristo at bakit siya anak ng Diyos. Pero sa paniniwalang katoliko e hindi naman magkasalungat yan. Hindi na ako magc-cite kung bakit anak ng Diyos si Kristo dahil agree ka naman dyan.
Para i-summarise (Hindi ko ginugupit-gupit ang bibliya, pde rin basahin ng buo yan), kukunin ko lang ang John 1:1 at John 1:14 (KJV):
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
...
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Si Kristo ay Diyos, pero siya ay tao rin dahil nagkatawang tao Siya.
