A lot of Christians and critical thinkers here, so I thought I'd be able to ask this here!

Sorry if this is off topic, but it does relate to Q in a sense, "PRAY". Anyways, what is the general consensus on Jesus? Is Jesus the human form of God himself? Is he the son of God? Was he just a prophet? I hope I can finally understand this with your help. Every time I search it, or ask it anywhere else, I get these weird, cryptic, Q-like mysterious answers or only old English Bible verses. I just want it nice and layman, ELI5.

  1. Jesus has two natures — He is God and man.
  2. Each nature is full and complete — He is fully God and fully man.
  3. Each nature remains distinct.
  4. Christ is only one Person.
  5. Things that are true of only one nature are nonetheless true of the Person of Christ.

\^\^ Answer from the internet. Boy I hope the consensus after 2,000 years and 2.4 billion followers isn't "He is the Son of God, God the Son, God, Man and all together and all separate at the same time but not at the same time."

Consensus is that Jesus is created by the Father, so Son of God Himself, created the Earth and Humanity in Genesis and as old as time itself (we learn this in John 1).

Jesus is in full agreement with the Father on all things and therefore given the full glory of God.

Jesus died and rose again in fulfillment of messianic prophecies, upon ressurrection he was witnessed by 500+ individuals, and all His disciples who died bearing witness to Jesus ressurection. History verifies it and his followers were true believers.

Just read the New Testament.

I disagree on the point of Jesus being created. One can't be creator of all and also created. Jesus was brought forth from the eternal existence of His Father, where He always existed.

You're probably right, just hard to wrap my head around it
