God is , His son (who was not created but alywas was with God) and His spirit, They are one in the same but they are three persons. He who has seen me [Jesus] has seen the Father. in His spirit.Jesus alywas was, if God created Him for the purpose of dying for our sins then what did He lose? We pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus or Yeshua His son. Because by Him we are not separated from God like we were from sin, because Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice, He was without sin.The division in the church is because of sin, sin separates from God and then satan causes confusion, if satan can’t get to God, he gets to His children who He loves to in turn try to hurt Him.By the way many Christians believe that the catholic church is the anti-christ. It is predicted in the bible in Daniel and Revelation. It is plain that they pray to idols and worship on Sunday instead of Saturday and many imitate that. You can worship any day but we are supposed to keep the Sabbath holy. The catholic church says that they changed the day because it has more authority than the Bible, not only that they claim to forgive sins, which is blasphemy, also the pope claims he is Jesus’ representative on earth, which is also a sin. Anyway don’t worry about that too much, I don’t expect you to understand that having not studied the bible.God says anyone who takes away or adds to the scriptures will be punished. Revelation 22:19There are some verses that were misinterpreted a little some places but we are aware of them and where they are and they do not change the meaning of the verse no translation is perfect but the idea is the same. If you are talking about the apocrypha and council of trent, those were just stories that were popular and some were put into the bible, (the protestant bibles don’t have them included but catholic bibles do)I’m not trying to insult catholics, I used to be one, they do many good things. I expect to see lots in heaven.ok what’s next .Oh by the way, a few men wrote the bible over 4000 years but we believe that the bible was inspired through God, for example Moses wrote the first five books of the bible that appear first (Job is believed to be the first book, we know that from the dead sea scrolls) Well Moses obviously wasn’t there at creation, but we believe that God showed him or told him what happened just like many examples in the bible when God gave his prophets visions, dreams, or spoke to them.When Jesus revealed himself to the world, He was God in human form. He came to judge, to give an example of how to live, also to know what it is like to feel like we do and overcome the things we need to in life, He came to teach us(the universities and powerful men of the day did not accept Him so he went to the poor and uneducated and fishermen of Galilee who did accept Him) they were not corrupted by their pride. And most importantly He came to fulfill the over 200 prophecies that he would die for our sins so that we could live someday with God forever. (we were separated by our sin) There was nothing wrong with the sacrificial system in the old testament, but people kept breaking their covenant with God (God knew this would happen, He showed us that we are not perfect like Him) so Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice for us (this was alywas planned)Hey you should check out amazingfacts.com and go to the free stuff and to the study guides, they answer a lot of these questions with scripture again, usually the pope is blasphemous toward God, it was predicted in the bible. In Daniel and Revelation. (also explained at amazingfacts.com) study guide, who is the antichrist no one gets another chance, all people knew of God once because we all came from the children of Adam and Eve and then Noah. God judges your heart and reveals Himself to everyone throughout life. Not alywas the same way of course but I heard of a Muslim who had never heard of Jesus and he had a dream of Jesus with holes in His hands and feet and had to ask some Christians what it meant, for one example. But again He judges your heart. I’m sure there will be people in heaven that did not understand the theology that you do.Jesus is now our high priest (read the Jewish traditions in Leviticus for definition) in heaven before our Father. He died that we may live. He died for YOU too. He would have died only for you if no one else believed Him because He loves you so much, you are His creation. God never breaks His promises and in order to reconcile us from separation of sin He made himself the sacrifice. He rose again so that we would believe in Him and as an example that we will someday rise from the dead at the resurrection..Christians don’t die they just sleep for a while and rise again. (read the book of Matthew) also if you want evidence outside of the Bible, Flavius Josephus a 1st Century Jewish historian wrote a little about him, google it.Please check out those study guides I mentione Was this answer helpful?
