i believe that Jesus is a prophet from the bible.jesus didn't ask people to worship him .Again ,for his sonship to God is just a metaphore ,because there are lot of children of God in the bible and here are they :
-Adam is a son of God
(Genealogy of Jesus)..."the son of Seth,the son of Adam, the son of God."
Luke 3:38
-Israel
"Then say to Pharaoh, 'This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son."
Exodus 4:22
-David
"He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son."
2 Samuel 7:13-4

-Ephraim
"They will come with weeping;
they will pray as I ring them back.
I will lead them beside streams of water
on a level path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel's father,
and Ephraim is my firstborn son."
Jeremiah 31:9
-One of the Good People
"I will proclaim the decree of the Lord:
He said to me, "You are my Son;
today I have become your Father."
Psalm 2:7
-Melchizedek the Priest
"Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever."

you are all sons of the Most High."

Answer 1

Dear Anno,

Those of us that have a personal relationship with Jesus view your arguments against Him as powerless and without merit.

After experiencing the reality of Jesus firsthand, I really am grieved that you, whom Jesus loves, have fallen for things that are not true. Your illogical rationalizations do not hold water!


Every now and then He uses me to lay hands on the sick and they are healed by the power of His Spirit that is living within me.

Me and some friends have personally prayed for people with Inoperable, "Terminal", Cancer and they have been healed. This has happened about half a dozen times already along with other kinds of lesser diseases, including broken bones healed instantly.

If I come across a snake someday that is threatening to anyone, I will not be afraid of it and deal with it accordingly because that protection comes from the same sayings of Jesus.

I perceive that you are afraid of the truth and that is why you have an agenda against God so you don't have to confront it.

Here is a recent example of 1.5 Million Muslims that thought they knew the truth, having an encounter with Jesus, who is alive today, who showed up and healed them of all their afflictions.

If you sincerely seek the truth, you will find it.
Call out to Him to see if He is real!

If you think that Jesus is a bunch of baloney, then why should you be afraid of calling out to Him? If He doesn't exist then you have nothing to lose!

Answer 2

The Father has so much love that the Son is the reflection of the Father's love. Together their love is so great that the Holy Spirit comes forth from the two. Therefore the only person in the whole universe trully from the Father alone is the Son. When the Son took flesh of the Virgin Mary he took on Human nature. So Jesus is the only true Son of God as a divine nature and as a human nature. We are sons and daughters by "adoption." This took an action that only God could do.

Answer 3

You forgot John 3:16.

You forgot that in Hebrews chapter one, God the Father, calls the Son, God.

You missed all those times when Jesus did things that only God can do like forgive sins.

You forgot when doubting Thomas called Jesus God and Jesus did not correct him.

You forgot that Jesus said to the religious leaders of that day, "Before Abraham was, I am". John 8:58.

In so doing, Jesus claimed to be the Very One Who had spoken to Abraham and the Very One Who spoke to Moses from the burning bush.

The Jewish leaders clearly understand what Jesus was saying since they tried to stone him to death on the spot.

You forgot that Jesus rose from the dead and that Jesus is still alive today and speaking even to Muslim, the truth.

Answer 4

We are all the children or creation of God. Including Jesus.Jesus was more than a prophet. He was one of the most spiritually enlightened humans ever.He completely understood that real man is spiritual not flesh.Jesus said on many occasions that the miracles he performed were done through the Father. Yes, he and the Father were one. which I interpret as they were of the same spirit. Jesus is my brother ,not my God.

Answer 5

All those you've been describing are adoptive. Jesus came from God and is God, there is none other like Him or ever will be.
When someone chooses to receive the gift of salvation that comes through Christ's sacrifice, they are then received into the kingdom of God (through Christ) and not on their own and their title as a "child of God" is an inherited title that only Christ can give.

Answer 6

Sons of God is a reference to worship of Jehovah. Son's of baal would be reference to those taht worship baal. All are created by God, but not all are sons of God. Not all people worship God. Jesus is more then just a son of God.

The Only begotten Son of God is Jesus. meaning He was God in the flesh born of the virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Ghost.

No other human can say there Father was biologically God. Now God did not have sex with Mary I think it is more of God spoke the word and it happened. Just like speaking our world into existence.

Adoption as a son comes when one accepts Christ as Lord as Savior and they choose to worship Him. No difference in the jews worshipping Jehovah. Christ came to seek those that did not believe in Jehovah. These people were known as Gentiles. This was God way of communicating His love to them.

Answer 7

God the Son is the only "natural" Son of God ,sharing the same essence,nature and being with the Father and Holy Spirit as the One God.
All people are 'sons' of God by being made in God's image. All who believe in Jesus as the Divine Lord and Incarnate Savior are adopted into sonship of God,especially by Baptism and lived faith.

Answer 8

I am a son of God through Jesus. But I am NOT the way, truth or life. Only the Son of God is. Just as he said.

Answer 9

You have put your finger on one of the great discrepancies of the Bible. It is hard to understand, everyone has a hard time with it. Let's try my explanation.
There is spirit in all of us, that spirit is part of God. So in that sense, we are all God. Take that to the trinity. They are all part of God, take them apart and they are still part of God. They are only whole when together. Yet they maintain their separate completeness when they are not joined together. They each have the same job, and each has a separated job.
I hope that makes some kind of sense to you.

Blessed Be

Answer 10

you easily stick to a reliable prepare of theory! extra precisely, i've got self belief guy, people have created gods of their very own image. to describe the unexplainable. This has been built upon, it has created an marketplace of religions. God isn't human, nor a being. No being ought to create the universe. image voltaic structures, galaxies, etc. yet to respond to the question, the place did this all initiate, guy has created a god.
