Did God FORCE Jesus to be born?

[Guest DRS81]

..or did Jesus choose to live and die on earth.

 

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

It was his choice I'm sure, but maybe they sat down together and discussed it first.

Jesus is God. It was His idea.

You ask,

Did God FORCE Jesus to be born?

No He did not, Jesus was only too pleased to do His Fathers will

"To do Your will, O God".

Hbr 10:5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, "Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,but a body have you prepared for me;

Hbr 10:6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings

you have taken no pleasure.

Hbr 10:7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,

as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.'"

Jesus is God.  I am a believer in the trinity, and I believe that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are all one God, and one in purpose.  God the Father didn't have to make God the Son come to earth.  They are all three in perfect agreement.  It is one God in three persons, all working in perfect harmony for a common objective. 

 

Well said Brother in Christ. Blessings.

No God did not force Jesus to be born as we can see stated in the scripture found in.....

 

Philippians 2:6-8 - Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

 

Scripture states that Jesus was in the form of God (a Spirit as God is a Spirit) but Jesus gave up being in the form of God and became flesh and dwelt among  us.  Jesus chose willingly to take on the form of man leaving all the splendor and riches of heaven.  Jesus took on a human form the likeness of men and was a servant to God's will and purpose.  Jesus became a man having and living in a flesh and blood physical body laying his Godhead aside).  Jesus willingly made that choice and took it upon his own self to be obedient and submissive to the Father's will.  Jesus of his own choice and will gave himself (his body as the sacrifice for the sins of man).  Jesus was not forced by the Heavenly Father to be born, to live his life in this earth.  But in humility and humbleness he chose the will of God submitting himself to it all the way up to his death of the cross.  Jesus chose for himself and was not forced.

No as the Second member of the Godhead/Trinity it was planned out so that while we as humans fail to keep our state of innocence; Jesus Christ keep His and by so doing destroyed the works of devil:

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

Hebrews 2:14

 

This was spoken of Paul

4)  But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

5)  To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

6)  And because ye are sons, God hath send forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7)  Wherefore thou are no more a servant, but a son; then an heir of God through Christ.

Galatians 5:4-8

Paul tells us that God hath reveals to us this plan (which Paul called a mystery see Colossians 1:27).  This mystery is that we as sinful flesh are now consider the children of God;          Romans 8:14-17.

[other one]

I don't think one can say that he made him become a man.   Jesus said the he and the father were one is basically saying they think not only like each other, but the same as each other. John tells us that Jesus was in the form of God before he was made man,

 

interestingly it was while Jesus was on the cross when he cried out asking why God had forsaken him that they were separated for the first time from eternity past.

 

that's something  to ponder.
