Why Do You Worship a Human?
Do Christians believe that a human being is God? The Christian belief is not that a human can be God, but that Almighty God can come in human form if He chooses to.

Our friend has written: "Thank God, I am a Muslim. I have a question for you, why do you call a human being God? Thank you."
Greetings and peace to you, dear friend. Thank you for this very important question that you have asked. It is a very big misunderstanding among our dear Afghans. Many think that Christians believe that a human can become God, and this belief is completely contrary to the teachings of the Holy Bible.
We do not believe that a human can become God. We believe that God is the Almighty. God can, according to His will and desire, if He wishes, come among us in human form. And we see this in the Holy Bible. We see that Jesus Christ, who has a divine nature, comes in human form and lives among us to show what God truly is like.
He lived a perfect life; he never sinned. He taught us love. He healed us. And he taught us to love one another. Not only these, but Jesus Christ died on the cross for the atonement of human sins and defeated death, rose on the third day, and once again demonstrated that He is Almighty and victorious over death. This is our beliefs as followers of Jesus.
And I encourage you to please read the Holy Bible once and see what we believe in. A human cannot be God. But if the Almighty God wishes to come into the world in human form, does He need our permission? Not at all. And we read in the Word of God that God came into the world in human form because of His love for us. And again, thank you for asking this question.
