Is Jesus a saint

Answer 1

In a way, yes. Jesus never used the actual word 'saint' though for two reasons. First he spoke Aramaic not English (!) and secondly, the idea of a Saint being recognised as they are by the Roman Catholic Church, as in 'Saint Theresa of Lisieux' or 'Saint Francis of Assissi' is not a Biblical custom, and so does not occur in scripture. The word 'saint' comes from the Latin 'sanctus' which means 'holy'. So a 'saint' is simply a 'holy' person. In the Roman Catholic, and in other churches, holy men and women are officially designated 'saints' (as in the above two examples) but in actual fact, the whole of the Christian community can be thought of as 'saints' as they all aspire to be like Jesus - holy. This gives rise to the concept of the Communion of Saints - those Christians who are part of the whole Christian eople both living and dead (as suggested by Paul in 1 Corinthians 12). In the context of a saint being a 'holy person', Jesus definitely did support this idea of sainthood. In Matthew's gospel (5:48) he says --"Be ye therefore perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." The Greek word used for 'perfect' is teleios, which means 'without blemish' 'no spot on your character' or 'holy'. So, although Jesus didn't use the actual word 'saint' he calls us all to sainthood; we are to aspire to be holy and saintly just as God is holy.

Answer 2

Too many places to list. It is used first in Matt 27:52, and then a handful of times in Acts 9, Paul uses the word at the start of almost each of his letters as referring to members of the church as well as throughout... For example, he uses the word saints in Romans in the following verses: Rom 1:7, Rom 8:27, 12:13, 15:25-26, 15:31, 16:2 and 16:15. The rest of Paul's letters use the word many times as well. And the nook of Revelation uses the term 13 times. So, it is used many times. To see more go to biblegateway dot com and do a search for the word saint... It came up with 60 new testament hits in the English Standard version.

Note: the word saint is always simply used to refer to Christians in general in the New Testament, and is not a special title for a special christian nor even for a christian who has died and gone to heaven... All Christians are saints.

Answer 3

No. A saint is a mortal individual who has lived a God-serving and God-loving life on earth and therefore is welcomed into the kingdom of heaven. Jesus is beyond that. He was God, and therefore is not a saint.

Answer 4

Jesus was a Son of God and a Son of Man and lived a God-loving and God-serving life, so he was a Sanint. Akk three persons of Trinity are Holy or Saint.

Answer 5

No! Jesus Christ is God! He is of the Holy Trinity - He is God!
