Why do some christians call Jesus God and others say Jesus is son of God and Jesus is not God?

One of the doctrines that many people fail to understand concerning Jesus is the doctrine of the hypostatic union. This is in the teaching that Jesus has two natures: God and man. In other words, Jesus is both God and man at the same time.

This is why we see some scriptures that point to Him being divine and others pointing to Him being a man. Below is a chart illustrating the two natures of Jesus as derived from scripture. http://carm.org/christianity/christian-d... esus is the most important person who has ever lived since he is the savior, God in human flesh.

He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and fully man. In other words, Jesus has two distinct natures: divine and human.

Jesus is the Word who was God and was with God and was made flesh, (John 1:1,14). This means that in the single person of Jesus is both a human and divine nature, God and man. The divine nature was not changed when the Word became flesh (John 1:1,14).

Instead, the Word was joined with humanity (Col. 2:9). Jesus' divine nature was not altered.

Also, Jesus is not merely a man who "had God within Him" nor is he a man who "manifested the God principle." He is God in flesh, second person of the Trinity. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word," (Heb.

1:3). Jesus' two natures are not "mixed together," (Eutychianism) nor are they combined into a new God-man nature (Monophysitism). They are separate yet act as a unit in the one person of Jesus.

This is called the Hypostatic Union. The following chart should help you see the two natures of Jesus "in action": http://carm.org/jesus-two-natures.

Showing that Jesus was clearly no ordinary person, an angel announced in advance his conception and birth, saying: “This one will be great and will be called Son of the Most High.” Notice that the angel said, not “God,” but “Son of the Most High.”—Luke 1:30-32. At thirty years of age Jesus presented himself to be baptized.

On that occa “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.” And so John the Baptist, who witnessed the event, said of Jesus: “This one is the Son of God.”—Matt. 3:17; John 1:34.

Jesus’ apostles and friends repeatedly identified him in this way. Said Nathanael: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God.” (John 1:49) Peter exclaimed: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matt. 16:16) Martha confessed: “You are the Christ, the Son of God.” (John 11:27) The apostle John wrote so people might believe that “Jesus is the Christ the Son of God.” (John 20:31) And of the apostle P “He began to preach Jesus, that this One is the Son of God.”—Acts 9:20.

Did Peter, Paul, John or any other of Jesus’ followers preach that he was God? No, from these scriptures it is clear that they taught he was God’s Son.
