Did Jesus have human flaws?

[PRmerger]

You will have to explain, then, why the Jewish authorities wanted to execute him for blasphemy.

What did Jesus say that the Jews thought was blasphemous?

HASANTAS, would you mind answering the above question, please?

 

[WingsOfEagles]

Jesus is God.
God is perfect.

God came down to us as a man. Does that mean that EVERYTHING about Jesus was perfect? Not just his morality.

Was he a perfect carpenter? Did he have perfect skin? Did he have perfect physical condition? etc.

If any of these aren’t perfect, wouldn’t that conflict with his perfect God nature since God doesn’t have any flaw, no matter how minor?

Perfect as in sinless and able to follow God the Father’s expectations in every way, yes. Perfect as in physically and in the trade of carpentry, not necessary.

171- O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, “Three”; desist – it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. An-Nisa(4)

45- [And mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary – distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah]. Ali-İmran(3)

“By starting out his gospel stating, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,” John is introducing Jesus with a word or a term that both his Jewish and Gentile readers would have been familiar with. The Greek word translated “Word” in this passage is Logos, and it was common in both Greek philosophy and Jewish thought of that day. For example, in the Old Testament the “word” of God is often personified as an instrument for the execution of God’s will (Psalm 33:6; 107:20; 119:89; 147:15-18). So, for his Jewish readers, by introducing Jesus as the “Word,” John is in a sense pointing them back to the Old Testament where the Logos or “Word” of God is associated with the personification of God’s revelation. And in Greek philosophy, the term Logos was used to describe the intermediate agency by which God created material things and communicated with them. In the Greek worldview, the Logos was thought of as a bridge between the transcendent God and the material universe. Therefore, for his Greek readers the use of the term Logos would have likely brought forth the idea of a mediating principle between God and the world. From Got Questions.org”

Jesus is named as “word of God”. The word became flesh. When God wish something to happen God just says be and it is. God wished Jesus to be and God said be"word" and it is"word became flesh".

Jesus was the way to God. That does not mean there is no other way to God. What about Moses and other prophets even you do not accept Muhammad?

And also if Jesus is the way to God that means God is distinct from Jesus. God is not the way to God(himself). If you say the human nature is the way to God then what required for divine nature?

See here is where I have a problem with what you are saying. It can be taken so many ways. While I agree it is through God the Father the Jews are brought to God, And for some it is God the Son, and yet for some it is by the Holy Spirit. I have to agree with you if you are saying it like this ( God can reveal himself to us through the Father, Son or the Holy Spirit.

With that said Salvation comes through the Son. But we have to realize they are all still the Trinity. The Trinity is very confusing even for us, Only because God revealed to us the Trinity, he never really explained in way that humans can fully understand.

My easiest way to explain it is, God can reveal himself anyway he chooses, and so far it has been through the Trinity, How Jesus is God, true God from true God.

Now this here. I don’t know where to begin. On so many levels. To begin with Jesus was much more then a mere messenger of God. Jesus is God made Man. Thats just a start.

All people are not philosophers. Philophical knowledge is not superior on scripture. I can claim many philosophical asserts such that God became angel or angel became God or man first became angel and later became God or God transformed into a tree or a dove became God etc etc …

But there is a problem with those claims. Non of these result from a valid knowledge just conjectures.

this is where you have philosophers and you have truth.

A philosopher can take a statement and make it say what they want it to say, but does not mean it is true.

But the word of God is a truth period,

I jerked off quite a bit. Mostly thinking of Mary.
