Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither dared any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
Do you have the wisdom of GOD to interpret this passage?
The pharisees knew the answer to this question. It proves who Jesus is. Can you interpret please?
Do you have more guts and wisdom than the pharisees.???

The only guts and wisdom I have is from God's Word. This passage is just one time (of several) that Jesus claimed to be God. And to show that God is at least two persons in One, he quotes Psalm 110, where two members of the Godhead address one another as "Lord."
"Jesus taught by his question that the Messiah is not simply David's Son; he is the Son of God and thus David's Lord." (Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible 1684) The Pharisees, the best lay Bible teachers of their day, must have followed Jesus's argument, but they didn't have to like it.
They didn't like His clear claim of divinity in John 8, either: "'I tell you the truth,' Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am'. At this they picked up stones to stone him." And, if he wasn't Lord, they should have stoned him. Jesus is either a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord. (Thanks, C.S. Lewis.)
Jesus remains in union with His Father, as the Son who is Lord. Because He is and was and ever will be, we can (if we come to God through faith in Jesus) be saved from the meaningless existence of life out of relationship to God. "Therefore, He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He ever lives to intercede for them." (Hebrews 7:25)
The Trinity -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- is biblical truth, not a pantheistic idea foisted on the Church.
Is this a test for orthodoxy, I wonder, or a question from someone who wants to understand the Scriptures?

The word Pharisees comes from the Hebrew פר×ש×× prushim from פר×ש parush, meaning a "detached" one, that is, one who is separated for a life of purity. (Ernest Klein, Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the Hebrew Language) The Pharisees were, depending on the time, a political party, a social movement, and a school of thought among Jews that flourished during the Second Temple Era (536 BCE–70 CE). After the destruction of the Second Temple, the Pharisaic sect was re-established as Rabbinic Judaism — which ultimately produced normative, traditional Judaism, the basis for all contemporary forms of Judaism, with the possible exception of the Karaites.

Here's your interpretation: The Bible says there is only one God, but He is manifest in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ was God the Son. The Bible says He is God, and He Himself claimed to be God.

This modern pharisee (rabbinical Jew) doesn't believe in the New Testament anyway, and the ancient pharisees wouldn't either.
