Why does God need a son?

Question

If Jesus is the Son Of God, why was he needed by God? God is supreme, and that would mean there is a godess to am I wrong?

Answer 1

Very good question!!

True, why God need another human being to fulfill His will?
If God is Almighty he can wish "be" and it will be. This is how World appeared, how Jesus was born. I think the mistaken idea about God`s Son came to the mind of the people from Gospels where Jesus called God as his "Father".
In this case I can as well call God "Father" but it does not make me to be his native daughter... ( estagfeeruallah, rabbi gfeer li).

Religion is not only blindly beleif, sometimes it is neede to ask questions and to analyze statements. Especially when so many doubts about the origin and content of Bible nowadays

You seem rather hung up on the term "son" as it applies to humans, which doesn't carry over in a one-to-one sense when applied to God. Instead of tripping over the labels "Father," "Son," and "Holy Spirit" from Christianity, use some generic labels for the moment, such as X, Y, and Z. Historic Christianity asserts that X, Y, and Z are the one God, each possessing all the attributes of deity (i.e., eternal, just, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, etc.). The distinctions between X, Y, and Z are distinctions WITHIN God. These distinctions give details about the one God, but are often misconstrued as implying multiple gods. It might be helpful to think of these distinctions as describing the "structure" of God. As an analogy, we think of space as having the distinctions of length, height, and width. Length is neither height nor width, nor is height the same as width, but all three are what we know as space. Similarly, historic Christianity claims that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, but that there are distinctions between them so that the Father is neither the Son nor the Holy Spirit, nor is the Son the same as the Holy Spirit.

In your questions, you seem to be thinking in human terms regarding a son, as if the Son of God was procreated as another generation by intercourse of God with some goddess. As described above, that is not the case; the Father and the Son are both eternal, and there is no additional goddess.

So does God need a son? From a Christian perspective the answer is actually "yes," in the sense that the Son is a NECESSARY "component" of God. You ask why this is. One reason that may be offered is that part of God's nature is to love. The Father and the Son have always loved each other perfectly, so that there has never been a lack in God, and that God never needed to create anything or anyone to have an object of His love.

As for Jesus, the Son of God, taking on the additional nature of a man (without ever ceasing to be God), this was done not because of a need by God, but because of God's great love for mankind. It was necessary, however, that Jesus live righteously and suffer and die as our substitute for God to be able to forgive anyone, in order for God to remain just. The good news is that Jesus did that, and that God has chosen to give pardon and eternal life to all who trust Him on the basis of what His Son did.

Answer 3

It doesnt mean that God has son and there must be a godess too. jesus was born through Mary. She was still virgin when she deliver jesus because God uses his holy spirit to tell Mary that she is pregnant. God sent Jesus for His people in this world. Jesus is the way to salvation.

Answer 4

Well Jesus was sent in the flesh to be the ultimate sacrifice for us sinners, so that we could have redemption and a place for eternal life. Jesus loved the human race so much that he chose to make this sacrifice.

Answer 5

We needed him, not God. God sent his son as the ultimate sacrifice for man's sin since man was not able to behave.

Answer 6

Muslims don't believe in a son, nor a wife.
God works solo

quran 49:11

"o u who beleive! no one should mock or ridicule other peiople, for the ridiculed ones are better than those who ridicule them..."


quran surah al - ikhlas
"say, He is Allah the one.
Allah is Eternal and Absolute.
None is born of Him nor is He born.
And there is none like Him"

and here Allah does not refer to any mortal or mythological character. Allah literally mean the Supreme Being.
