We were reading mathew today, and im still confused why judas betrayed jesus. i could understand if judas was led by greed, but then he hangs himself. and then there's the issue of why judas needed to betray him in the first place, not like jesus himself would have been hard to find at the time, since he was preaching literally everywhere he went.

Hah!

That is the stupidest thing I've heard in a while, and I'm on poal regularly.

Jesus was the ONLY Son of God ("monogeneis", for you Greek lovers)

He was a human...and Thomas may have just looked like him. OP asked why Judas would have had to identify him. Maybe one of his disciples looked just like him was my reply and I gave possibly out of context scripture as evidence. Duh.

Clearly you didn't read much about Jesus, or the book "Putting Jesus in His Place."

Jesus received the Honors due only to God; He shares Attributes that only God has; He is called Names that are reserved for God; He does the Deeds that only God can do; He has a Seat on the throne of God.

Jesus is fully divine. You will die in your sins unless you believe this (His words, not mine).

Actually, according to a plain reading he was what we would refer to as a demigod. His Father is God...His mother was human. The Son is divine, but is not "god in the flesh".

I think Ignatius wrote that James, (Jesus' half brother) was indistinguishable from Jesus.

My advice...do not add to the requirements of salvation set forth in Scripture. It does not say anywhere that you must acknowledge the Messiah as "god in the flesh" for salvation.

Jesus said those who followed in his footsteps and did has he was doing would go to heaven. He didn't say we had to believe he was God. He didn't even believe he was God, until the very end when he began to believe his own mythology.
