Christians - please explain to me why Jesus is God's son?

Question

Please do not quote the bible, it's your holy book, not mine. What I want to understand is why Adam would not be God's son, he was born without a father or a mother. Or Eve, born without a mother.

When did Jesus claim he is God's son. Praying to "Father" in heaven is done to this day, does this mean that Christian's see themselves as God's children? If it's a figure of speech, then why wouldn't Jesus's words also be a figure of speech and be taken literaly as father / son?

Answer 1

Not even the pope can explain that to you simply because it's illogical.
I think if Jesus (PBUH) was really a son of God and if the trinity is the right thing to believe in that means that all prophets who were sent before Jesus(PBUH) would have known about it and told people about it so they can all be saved like the Christians say, but what's the point from saving a specific category of people thousands of years after the creation of our father Adam (PBUH) and after committing his first sin???!!!
What happens to the others??
Even if God sent Jesus(PBUH) on the last day before the judgment day so that everyone would be saved that would still be a silly idea because Trillions of people were already dead before Jesus came down to earth, so what happens to them? how would they be saved???!!!!
They're just brain washed.

Answer 2

Question: but u say it is the 'father'?- WHO or WHAT is this father? is it a man, an idol ? what? this is why i believe that iSlam is the truth to be accepted- God is not a man or a father.............. God is a supreme being and jesus is a prophet, just like moses and noah etc. why dont christians accept that? i find it difficult to see truth in anyhting else! Islam is the fastest growing religion because of this i think expalin to me plz Answer: Everyone claims to have the fastest growing religion, and believe me, even the fastest growing religion does not necessarily make it a true religion. God is made up of three divine beings. The Father is the Father of God, the Son is the Son of God and the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit of God. Each of the three are wholly God, so Jesus is God in the flesh, as the second person of God. Jesus said 'before Abraham was, I Am' (John 8:58), He said 'I Am the First and the Last' (Revelation 1:17), Thomas called Him 'My Lord and My God!', He is Everlasting Father, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor and Immanuel. He is 'the Word was God', 'the Good Shepherd', THE LORD AND THE SAVIOR. Moses and Noah were physical saviors, agents of God who were only human. Jesus on the other hand was, is and always will be the Spiritual Divine Savior, who saved us both physically and spiritually, something which Moses and Noah were nowhere close to accomplishing. If you can't tell the difference between a physical savior and a spiritual savior, then your religion is definitely not telling the whole truth.

Answer 3

You cannot separate the Bible from Christianity, man. That is where the words of Jesus including his claims, were recorded. How do we know what Abraham Lincoln said if we were not there and it wasn't recorded - DUH!

Anyway, Jesus is God's son, but not in the same way that you have a physical earthly father having a son, no, God, Jesus and he Holy Spirit are the same person, yeah, three persons in one. Don't expect to understand Christianity if you use your own understanding/logic (especially if you have already decided that it is a bunch of nonsense to you) because God's ways are not your ways. And in the case of Christians, God gave us the right to become children of God (John 1:12 Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God's children. )

Answer 4

The Son, Father, Holy Spirit - these are all names God uses so that we could relate and understand Him in some small way... all we know are human relationships (familial and friend relationships) so He had to use those words we are used to in order for us to get it even just a little.

Answer 5

Glad you asked Now first you must understand that it is a DECLARATION made by YHWH, conserning Him. His words were "You are my Son, TODAY I have begotten You,,,,,,See I never read where Jesus made such a claim. He called Himself "Son of man". Y' know God declared the same of ISRAEL,,,Ex 4:22.,,,"Then you shall say to Pharaoh,'Thus says the LORD: "Israel is my Son, My FIRSTBORN.,,,,and GUESS WHAT Jn. 1:12 answers that also.,,,And I personally don't see a 'figure of speech'. Those words I put my whole trust in. What is written about it. Look you ask us,,,we answer with the WORD, you no like, you no ask!

Answer 6

It is not possible to prove any scriptural point without using scripture.
Thats a bit like trying to get an atomic scientist to prove the splitting of the atom, but disallowing his use of a laboratory.

There are just too many scriptures separating Jesus from Jehovah...

Answer 7

You ask a question searching for answers that can only be found in the Bible, and yet you ask not to quote the Bible.

The idea of the Trinity is not that Jesus is God's offspring, but rather one in essence with God the father and the holy spirit. They are aspects of the same God.

Answer 8

I Will if you explain why Atheists ask the same stupid questions of us each and every time and then say don't quote the bible.

Either you believe or you don't but i hope you like the smoking section because that where you are going to spend eternity

Answer 9

Someone else beat me to the answer. He is God's son. We are his spirit children.

Answer 10

"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost." (Mat 1:18)
