What are the differences between God and Jesus Christ?

[ElishaElijah]

No, it's not what the Bible teaches..
It's what's you BELIEVE.
We are all affected by our environment.
i.e. the people around us

I gave you the many Scriptures so what I shared about God’s view of man is the Biblical view which is The Word of God. I agree with God’s view and that’s why I repented of my sin and received eternal life through Jesus Christ and am born again.

What is it you are not understanding between a faulty human system and God’s glorified system.

A system that kills infants is not glorified at all.

You won’t answer to what the roles and responsibilities of your head of department are because you know that it means that they set the standards and direction and oversees the way the department functions. He sets the rules and upholds those rules and decides on how to deal with things that are not going right… and puts forward praise for those that are going right.

What does the FATHER in a household do as a role and responsibility?

YES, you may not USE THE WORD, ‘FATHER’, but is there a difference in the role and responsibility of a head of department and the head of a household?

I'm simply not answering your question because it is IRRELEVANT. The word father in English does not refer to a head. There are many examples of heads that it would be incorrect English to call them father, and I gave the head of a department at work as one example. I don't understand why this is so hard for you to understand, but at this point, whatever, I am done arguing with you.

I'm glad that you were inspired to change your life for the better, truly.

But you need to understand that accepting the Bible as the word of God is a belief thing, something that you accept without proof. It's no differnt than Hindus and the Vedas, or Muslims and the Quran. Not everyone out there is going to agree with you that the Bible is God's word. It doesn't work to use the scriptures as evidence of this or that with them, since those scriptures are not authoritative for them.

The question was do we both worship God and the answer is we worship a different God than each other. I worship the God of the Bible and other people worship a different god. That was the point of the conversation with @muhammad_isa

I worship God. I take you on your word that you do too.

That has nothing to do with the very sound advice I gave you. I could have been an atheist and the advice would still hold. It makes no sense to quote scripture to someone who does not consdier them an authority. Just because you think they are the word of God doesn't make it so, nor does it mean that others agree.

He said he worshipped the God of Abraham who happens to be the God of the Bible, quoting Scripture to verify that comment is appropriate.

No, quoting scripture does not prove the God of Abraham anymore than quoting the Vedas proves Brahman.

What a fundamentally flawed experiment. To conflate two different characters from two different cultures, conflating both the literary and theological paradigms of each, and incorrectly insisting that those characters are “the same thing.” It’s disingenuous. It’s a straw man. It may be “entertaining,” but it gets us nowhere near the truth.

It is just an internal critique. It is the Christians who are promoting the notion of the trinity, where Yaweh, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all the same single being. This is not a straw man, but an examination of the implications of their claim if it were true. Obviously, if you're not a trinitarian and you don't believe Jesus and the God of Abraham are one, then we're not talking about you.

 

[ElishaElijah]

No, quoting scripture does not prove the God of Abraham anymore than quoting the Vedas proves Brahman.

The point of the conversation wasn’t to prove or disprove God, it was to see if we worship the same God or not. According to the Scriptures we don’t. I don’t need to prove God because I already know Him. Only people who haven’t met God need that proof.

We worship a different God?
..then why are Judaism, Christianity and Islam known as Abrahamic religions?
Surely, it's because they all believe in the One God of Abraham.
i.e. YHWH [ aka Jehovah ]

If you believe anyone is righteous on their own merit and don’t need Jesus Christ or be born again to have eternal life then yes we worship a different God. People can make a God in their own image or ideas and believe they worship the true God but really it’s a God of their own making.

 

[Kelly of the Phoenix]

So would you say that if God resides in a leaf I can pray to the leaf?

If you believe God is omnipresent, it’d be logically consistent.

 

[muhammad_isa]

OK .. then you don't worship the God of the Bible..
..because that is YHWH !

Jesus Christ worshipped YHWH , and so do I.
I'm not quite sure about you .. you'll have to explain how
'your God' and YHWH are different due to your creed.

In relation to destruction of wicked persons, the Old Testament God always proclaimed that the wicked would be destroyed.

Then they are the lucky ones, because the destroyed can’t suffer

You say you worship YHWH yet reject what the Scriptures say about man and all His works are
filthy rags and no one will be justified by keeping the Law.
“We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2:15-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
“Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭3:19-26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So this is what the Bible says and it’s different than what you believe. So how can you say I don’t worship the God of the Bible?

Those destroyed cannot enjoy life. Although there are many problems today, one day the earth will be at peace, and its inhabitants will enjoy peace. Psalm 85:8: "I will listen to what the true God Jehovah says, For he will speak peace to his people, to his loyal ones,"

OK, that's interesting because as I think about it, I know many Jews well (relatives as well as others), and many do not know or realize what the Law is, how to observe the Law, and what sin is.
