Considering Jesus as God and not as a divine but distinct entity from the Father, I would have some questions for quiet self-reflection:
How can Jesus be lesser than the Father if he himself is God?
“For the Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28)
Wenn Jesus Gott ist, warum betete er zu Gott?
“And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place …” (Luke 11:1).
Why, if Jesus is God, does he not know the day of Judgment Day?
“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Mark 13:32).
Why does Jesus say he can do nothing by himself if he is God?
“I can do nothing on my own.” (John 5:30).
How can Jesus die if he is God?
“And Jesus called out with a loud voice and said, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!'” (Luke 23:46).
Why was Jesus sent by the Father if he is God himself?
“For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.” (John 6:38).
Why does Jesus claim that his teaching is not his own if he is God?
“My teaching is not my own, but it comes from him who sent me.” (John 7:16).
Why does Jesus submit to the will of God if he is God himself?
“My food is to do the will of him who sent me…” (John 4:34).
Why is authority given to Jesus if he is already God?
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” (Matthew 28:18).
How can Jesus have a God if he is God himself?
“I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” (John 20:17).
Why does Jesus, as God, have to learn obedience from the Father?
“Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered.” (Hebrews 5:8).
Why does Jesus, if he is God, ask for the removal of suffering?
“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” (Luke 22:42).
How can Jesus, if he is God, be forsaken by God?
“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46).
Why is Jesus, if he is God, exalted by God and given a name that is above every name?
“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name.” (Philippians 2:9).
Why does Jesus say that life was given to him by God if he is God himself?
“For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.” (John 5:26).
Why is it necessary for Jesus as God to be acknowledged by God?
“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17).
Why does Jesus say that he did not come as God to judge, but to save?
“For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.” (John 12:47).
Why does Jesus refer to himself as the one who was sent if he is God?
“And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.” (John 8:29).
Why does Jesus, if he is God, have to pray to God to protect his disciples?
“I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.” (John 17:15).
Warum spricht Jesus davon, dass ihm als Gott Autorität gegeben wurde, wenn er selbst die Quelle aller Autorität ist?
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” (Matthew 28:18).
