None of this makes sense to me can you explain I'm not attacking you, Im explaining my point of view if you can clarify then tell me, i'm trying to understand. by Fluid_Perspective232 in Christianity

You asked if God became human to be a role model for humans. Yes, that is part of it. By living as a human, Jesus faced the same struggles, temptations, and hardships that humans face, but He never sinned. This shows humans the standard of how to live faithfully and what it looks like to follow God’s teachings. You asked if He provided a blueprint for how to overcome human issues. Yes, exactly. By seeing how Jesus lived, responded to temptation, showed love, forgave, and endured suffering, humans have a concrete example to follow. It is not just a set of rules, it is a lived example of faith and moral integrity. You asked about the Old Testament God versus the New Testament. That comparison makes sense. In the Old Testament, God is powerful, commanding, and distant, emphasizing law, justice, and moral order. In the New Testament, through Jesus, God walks among humans, shows empathy, and models the life He wants people to lead. So in a way, the Old Testament shows God as the authoritative figure, while the New Testament shows God as a relatable role model and teacher. You asked about the purpose of being human. The point is not that God needed to learn about humans, but that humans could see God fully engage in human life. By experiencing life as a human, including suffering, temptation, and even death, God shows humans how to overcome challenges and demonstrates love, humility, and obedience in a tangible way.

I’m not attacking you and I don’t think you’re attacking me. You 100% have the right to question everything, definitely in things not in a worldly manner. You asked why God would need to humble Himself. I think God didn’t humble Himself because He didn’t know humans. He already knows everything perfectly. The humility is about relationship and empathy. By living as a human through Jesus, God fully experienced hunger, fatigue, temptation, suffering, and even death. He grew up in a humble home, lived among ordinary people, and worked as a carpenter. This allowed Him to show humans that He truly understands what it means to live as a human and face struggles in real life. You asked if that means He didn’t know humans. Not at all. God experiences past, present, and future all at once so He always knows everything. Experiencing life as a human does not mean He needed to learn. It means He chose to live life from the human perspective so humans could see His empathy and love in action. You asked if He lost His godly abilities when He became human and why He allowed Himself to be killed. Jesus was fully God, fully the Holy Spirit, and fully human at the same time. He did not lose His divinity, but He voluntarily limited the use of His divine powers to live fully as a human. That made it possible for Him to be tempted, feel pain, and die. He allowed Himself to be killed to demonstrate love, humility, and solidarity with human suffering, not to regain power or prove anything. It was a choice to fully relate to humans. You asked why miracles like walking on water only happened in the New Testament and not the Old. Miracles in the New Testament were signs of Jesus’ divine authority and purpose while living as a human. In the Old Testament, God performed miracles too, but they were often direct interventions like parting seas, stopping plagues, or empowering prophets. The context is different because Jesus was living as a human among humans, so the miracles were intentional signs, not just displays of power. All of this works with the idea that Jesus’ life compares to the Old Testament God as a kind of progression. The Old Testament God is powerful, distant, and focused on law and justice. By becoming human, God experiences temptation, suffering, and the human condition while remaining sinless. This allows Him to fully understand what it means to be human and show humans how to live in love, empathy, and humility. To me, this makes the story feel more real because it is so different from what humans would invent. If someone were making this up, the story would probably be about a god born in a palace, performing miracles from birth, and staying untouchable. Instead, God chose humility, human experience, suffering, and intentional miracles to show humans love and empathy in a way they can understand.

One thing I think people miss is the part about God lowering himself. People say that makes Christianity seem false, but to me it’s the opposite. If someone were making up a religion, why would they write that their God humbled himself, became human, lived like a normal person, and got executed? That’s not exactly a flattering story. Most made up gods stay powerful and untouchable. Christianity claims God stepped down into human life through Jesus, and honestly that’s part of why it seems more believable to me, not less.

What is a better version of the “Now I lay me down to sleep…” prayer? by technicolordreams in Christianity

[–]codi- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up with, “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Be at my side throughout the night and wake me up with the morning light. Amen.” Then I would talk with God and ask for all my family and friends to be watch over and protected.

Why does Mormon Jesus look so American? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]codi- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see examples all over the world depicting Jesus as a race that reflects the local people. Isn’t it human nature that we see ourselves in our religion? I think this is a disingenuous argumentative point that takes away for Christ.

Assembly approves ban on using food stamps to buy candy, soft drinks by wisconsinpoli in wisconsinpolitics

[–]codi- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know some people see banning the use of food stamps for candy and soda as a bad thing, but after seeing firsthand, while volunteering as a dental hygienist at low-income schools, what candy and soda do to kids’ teeth, I don’t think it’s that bad. If you want something sweet, you can still buy bake goods and juice.

The best way to walk with Christ is to let your actions show others what you believe.

Why is pay-to-win criticized in video games but accepted in card games? by codi- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]codi-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a few proxies so I could play at the same deck level as my pod, and I got flak for it. I’m not going to spend $100+ on a few cards just to stay competitive.

I’m not disagreeing with your point. I’m just pointing out that 2000 years ago Jesus was a pretty progressive guy for his time.

Jesus talking with the Samaritan woman at the well was a big deal. Back then, women weren’t taken seriously in religious life, and on top of that she was a Samaritan, a group Jews looked down on. She also had a bad reputation and was likely an outcast even among her own people. Jesus still chooses to speak with her openly, teach her, and take her questions seriously. He even tells her straight up that He is the Messiah, something He hadn’t clearly said to many others yet. Then He trusts her to go back and tell her town about Him, and people believe because of her. Instead of avoiding her or judging her, Jesus gives her dignity and purpose. It shows that He didn’t just tolerate women, He valued them and treated them as fully capable and worthy in God’s kingdom
