The Actual Greek word used is "pias" or "paida" which mean; "servant, child, son, manservant."

The exact same word "pias" is attributed to Jacob(Israel) in Luke 1:54 and translated as "servant":

"He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;." It is also applied to King David in Luke 1:69, and once again, it is translated as "servant": "....the house of his servant David;" (also see Acts 4:25).

New Testament BIBLE

John 10:38 "But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may learn and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

John 14:10 "Don't you know that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The words that I say to you are not my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me who is doing this work."

But further reading in the very same chapter:
John 14:20 "On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you."

So how does he live in his disciples and how do they live in him? And if so, are they also, sons of God or Gods?

Does the belief in Jesus, peace be upon him, as a 'son of God' really make sense?

What exactly does 'son of God' mean?

Can true salvation from God, be the punishment of someone else who is innocent from any of these crimes, to be punished as though he were guilty?

Does God need someone to suffer severe punishment, even though they are trying, day after day.

Did Jesus, peace be upon him, tell the people to take him as a god, or to worship him?

New Testament of BIBLE


Mark 6:10
"Why do you call me good?" answered Jesus, "No-one is good but God alone!"


Matthew 5:17
"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them, but rather to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until Heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of the pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until all things are accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever keeps the commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven."

Matthew 7:21

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the Will of the Father who is in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!"

Mark 1:35
Gabriel says Jesus will be "called the son of God" and he would be "given the Throne of David" to "rule the House of Jacob forever."

Luke 3:36
"Enos was the son of Seth, and Seth was the son of Adam, and Adam was the son of God."

Note: Adam, not Jesus, is listed in this genealogy of Jesus as the son of God, not Jesus.

Later on, the priests are asking Jesus, peace be upon him, if he claims to be the son of God. He tells them in fact, it is they who are making this claim.

"You say that I am."

Gospel of John contains the greatest number of references to "son of God."
Jesus, speaking in the third person talked about the "Son of God" in John 3:17

John 5:24
John 11:4
John 11:27

Martha, one of the followers, calls Jesus, peace be upon him, "The Messiah, the Son of God"
John 20:31 he is called "The Messiah, the Son of God."

But no verse makes the exact statement "Jesus is the Son of God and as such he is divine or God."

QURAN 4:171
"O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah anything but the truth. Christ Jesus, the son of Mary was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not "Trinity": desist: It will be better for you: For Allah is One God: Glory be to Him: (Far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth.

Notice in the Bible, the frequent link between the position of Jesus, peace be upon him, as the Messiah and the 'son-ship.'

The term 'son of god' can not, in itself, be considered enough to declare anything unique about Jesus, peace be upon him, as this term is used for many people throughout the Old and the New Testament. See above: Luke 3:38

Also, in Isaiah 62:8
refers to the entire house of Israel as being, 'Sons of God'.

Romans 8:14 Paul tells us about those who are led by the spirit:
"because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God."

The word "Messiah" is one that more particularly seems to represent the station of the person predicted to appear and lead the people to the victory over this world.

Oxford Companion of the Bible states Jews prior to Jesus, peace be upon him, hoped for a prophesied ruler, reigning with everlasting justice, peace and security for the "Sons of Israel."

JESUS IS GODS SON IN WHOM HE IS WELL PLEASED

You can't read the Word of God, the Holy Bible without knowing Jesus the Christ and Messiah is the Son of the Living God. And His body is the only means of ever seeing God the Father or the Holy Spirit. You fail to realize the Godhead is three parts, The Father God, The Son Jesus the Christ and The Holy Spirit. Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world. In the beginning was God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 13:8 ".....of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

John 3:16 " For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John the Baptist said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world."

Jesus, the Christ, the Lamb of God was the Son of God.

God spoke to Peter, James and John and told them "This is My beloved Son, hear Him." This voice came from heaven at the transfiguration when those 3 saw Jesus, Moses and Elijah on a high hill. Matthew 17:5

Jesus is the Son of God.

It is explained in Philippians 2:5-11. Paul writes about how Jesus was equal to God, but he freely gave up that position for a time to become a servant.

So yes, Jesus was (for a time) a servant of God. You will see him appearing several times in the Old Testament helping God the Father and those in need.

Paul says that he then took on the form of a man. You will find that recorded in the four gospels. While in that human form, he is referred to at times as a servant, he is referred to a times as a son, he is referred to a time as "Lord" and "God". He was all those things. (Just like you could be someone's child, someone's spouse and someone's parent all at the same time).

Paul then states that he was obedient even to the point of dying on the cross. While rejected by Muslims, his death is stated over 1000 times in the New Testament. So either you have to accept that also, or you have to stop (mis)quoting only small parts of it to try and prove the Koran. It should be either all or nothing.

Following his death, Paul concludes by saying that because of that servanthood, God raised Jesus from the dead and received him back into heaven. Jesus is now the one sitting on the throne of heaven, who every person must acknowledge as the Lord (not as a servant anymore) and to whom every knee must bow. He is not longer a servant, but the Lord God himself. He has returned to his original position of equality with God.

So the next time you bow your knee to pray, remember that it is now Jesus who sits on the throne of heaven seeking your prayer and praise.

I'm aware I may be painting a big target on my back with this post, but hey, maybe I'll get to be with Jesus sooner :) !

Psalm 2:7 (NIV), if God decrees you are His son, then you are His son.

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.

The nations and all the ends of the earth are the possession of Jesus.

In Genesis 1 we do not see YHWH, we see Elohim (plural), we only see YHWH (singular) for the first time in Genesis 2:4. YHWH is the physical manifestation of the spiritual El Elyon, the Most High. God created a physical realm, and then became a physical person, YHWH, to exist in this realm. God is omnipresent, this means that God is everywhere at the same time, and He is still one God. This means that God can exist in the spiritual realm and in the physical realm at the same time, and He can still be 1 God. In the New Testament at first glance it may appear that YHWH has disappeared, most people think that where God is written in the New Testament it is referring to YHWH. It isn't, where God is written in the New Testament it is referring to El Elyon, the Most High, God in the spiritual realm. YHWH is everywhere in the New Testament, but it is not God (Most High). YHWH (YEHOVAH) exists in the New Testament as YEHOSHUA (Jesus). Jesus is YHWH, the physical manifestation of the spiritual El Elyon. When God and Jesus are mentioned in the New Testament they are put together as equals, because God and Jesus are one God, God exists in the spiritual realm as El Elyon, and in the physical realm as Jesus, both at the same time, and He is still one God. Jesus is God. This is not idolatry. Christianity is the true religion of Islam (submission to God) in its submission to Jesus as God. This makes all Christians Muslims (those who submit to God).

Any religion that does not submit to Jesus as God is not Islam :)

I believe that Jesus Christ Our Lord was already with God at the beginning of creation. Hence. "Let us make man into our image. He came to earth to do His Father's will, to redeem mankind from their sins. As God is the creator of all things, and Christ Jesus being the Son of God, then Christ is the true heir, and gives all those who believe in Him power to become children of God and reign with Him, through eternity.

You are looking too closely.
When we look at things under the microscope, sometimes we lose sight of the big picture. Christ is in us through the most Holy Communion, and through Him we are totally united with Heaven and Earth in perfect union. See the Manna that falls from the sky, which nourishes us all. We are one, as Christ would teach us. Love one another. Just love one another. Those around you. Those here and now. Those who have passed on. Those who are to arrive. Love.

Why did Jesus die for our Sins?

In Islam, a Muslim who commits murder and thievery can ask Allah for forgiveness and receive that forgiveness without without Allah exercising any punishment whatsoever. There are undoubtedly situations where Muslims have committed grievous sins, have not been caught, and have later sincerely repented before their God, have asked forgiveness, and (theoretically) been forgiven. We ask, where is Allah's exercise of judgment upon the sin that was committed?
According to Islam, Allah may forgive that person -- if he so chooses to. But, doesn't that mean the righteous judgment of Allah is not satisfied? Doesn't it mean that the sin has essentially been ignored by forgiving it and that the Law of God, though broken, has resulted in no punishment? Is this just to not exercise punishment for the sins committed? It is not. No, for we have already established that punishment is the proper and righteous response to sin and that to not punish is to not satisfy the law of God.
Therefore, since we can rationally propose a situation where the God of Islam will forgive a Muslim without there being punishment according to law, we can conclude that the God of Islam is unjust. If Allah is unjust, then he is not the true God.


God is holy and righteous and if he didn't carry a punishment for sins, he would be allowing evil to exist without consequence. The result would be, essentially, to condone evil, and since God cannot do that, His justice requires that a proper punishment be incurred for each sin.
Likewise, if God did not punish someone because that person said he was sorry and would not do it again, then is God being just? After all, if he did not exercise the punishment for breaking his law, then he is permitting evil to exist without proclaiming its error or dealing with its consequence.

In Christianity, every sin is dealt with by God in one of two ways. Either God satisfies the law by exercising his punishment upon the sinner by sending him to eternal damnation, or, he places the sins of the person on Jesus Christ who suffers the punishment in place of the person. Either way, the justice of God is never ignored. It is proper that sin be dealt with by a punishment relative to the sin. To not do so is to not be just.
Therefore, we see that the God of Christianity is just because no sin goes unpunished. After all, the Bible describes God as being holy and righteous. His standard of holiness is so great that all sin must be dealt with properly. The Law, which is a reflection of God's holy character and nature, is not to be violated without consequence. The consequence of all sin is death.
The only way for us to escape the righteous and holy judgment of God is to receive the sacrifice of Christ made on our behalf where he bore our sins in his body on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24).

You have obviously been studying the bible, and have a lot of questions...almost too many to answer in one question... Maybe you should make this into a number of individual questions. If you send them to Samantha...I will try to answer them.

About where did the Son of God come from...why does it refer to Him as a servant a number of times.....

First you need to know there if a triune God....God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit...which are each separate...but all one God. Not something any of us can totally understand....each has a role to play...all are God.

So Jesus is God's only begotten Son....He has always been God, and has always been in heaven with Him ....but came to earth in obedience to God the Father's plan to save mankind from his sin, and to make a way for them to have their sins forgiven and provide a way to bring them back to a Holy God. He was wholly God, and wholly a human person as well.

Jesus came, as a servant for us. He was God, yet He humbled Himself to die on the cross for us (everyone who will choose to believe He is our Saviour)....and on the third day, He conquered death (for us), and was resurrected and returned to the Father, where He stands and intercedes for us. Because he was resurrected, we know one day we will be resurrected as well.

The story of Abraham and Isaac was a picture of what God was going to do for us....give His only Son, have Him shed His blood on the cross, as the perfect "lamb sacrifice" for us.

Jesus chose to die....He was God...He could have gotten off the cross...but then we would have had no way to be saved.

John 3:16: For God so loved the world (all of us), that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever( anyone) who believeth on Him (Jesus), should not perish (in hell for all eternity), but have eternal life( in heaven with Him).

God had a plan from the time Adam and Eve chose to disobey Him and listen instead to Satan. The plan was to have his only Son Jesus come and be born as a human sacrifice, to die in our place. He humbled Himself as a servant.

Remember at the last supper before He died when He washed the disciples feet, and they objected, and He said "whoever will not let me wash his feet has no part with Me"....
He was demonstrating the attitude of a servant....that if He could serve us, then we should be willing to serve others.

Jesus also said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life...no one comes to the Father (in heaven), but by Me". God made Him the way. We have to admit we need Jesus to be our personal Savior....that we need Him to forgive our sin. When we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

It says...."He who has the Son, has Life." "He who has not the Son will not see Life (eternal life), and is condemned already".

It is a personal, individual choice to make.

All of the questions can be answered, but this is the most important thing...to know for sure that Jesus is your personal Saviour. Then you can learn the answers to everything else. It takes all your life to learn them all....but Jesus comes into your life and you begin a personal relationship with Him.

It is awesome and life changing. Study the book of John over and over and it will become clear to you.
