Christians believe that when Jesus died on the cross, he then rose from the dead to become 1 with God the Father. Forming 2/3 of the Godhead or Trinity.
It is hard for our human minds to comprehend, but God explains it the best he can for us. He sent his only begotten Son to die for us on the Cross. Jesus was born to a virgin (Mary), performed physical miracles that were witnessed and experienced by a lot of people of all backgrounds, and said He was Christ. To make it even more mind boggling, Jesus was God on Earth at the same time that he was God's Son. God in the flesh. Again, our human minds can't quite wrap around this, requiring faith to become a Christian. But then again, faith is required for many religions. To claim He was only a prophet means that by definition, the person is not a Christian. There is nothing wrong with that.
Personally, if I could wrap my brain around everything about the Christian religion, then I wouldn't be a Christian. The Creator of all things has to have such an infinitely higher "conscious and intelligence" than even the smartest human to ever live, there has to be some things that we don't understand about It. If we understood everything and it all made sense, then we wouldn't be talking about God.
Of course the next logical question is..couldn't the God of the universe make things simple enough for people to understand? For me the answer is that they are simple enough for me to understand: 1.Every human is created equal in God's eyes. No race or gender is superior. 2.If you believe in Jesus Christ, believe he died on the cross for your sins and is now part of God, then you will go to heaven.
Does that mean I think other people will go to Hell? That is not my concern, I will let God judge that because he is going to judge anyway according to my beliefs. What I have to say about it is a moot point.
The other stuff is not required to get into heaven, it's just for people who want a higher understanding of it all.
And I'm not going to go back and forth about it. The above is what I believe and it's not going to change. Many have tried to change me, and I have tried to witness to many about my beliefs. I'm sure you are just as robust about your beliefs, and that is fine with me.
