Scripture to confirm that Jesus Christ is the Only true Son of God.,

[Justmerach]

Hi, I was following the “Do you believe in God thread” and it seems to have been closed. I read a post and wanted to reply to somebody who said that Jesus is not the Son of God. I just wanted to reply to them that why in Christianity in the scripture that we know that Jesus is the Son of God and explain why in my faith scripture supports that Jesus Christ is Only true Son of God.

Jesus is the Son of God but was also a prophet. He is also the redeemer to come as this post will explain.

Let me first say first in all three faiths we share much of the Old Testament and believe in the same God. I remember this topic right from my university days comparative studies between all three faiths.

I want to share a document about the Messiah prophecies about Jesus Christ to come that are in the Old Testament and commonly used online.

The Messiah prophecies have all be attached can be clicked on saved and enlarged. It comes in five images.

The word Christ and its Hebrew parallel means the anointed one which Christ is. Not added to that document above and to come to your attention-The Rod of Jesse in Isaiah 11 is also a prophecy of Jesus Christ to come. The Rod of Jesse/root of Jesse was the last rod for Jews and culminated with the Lord. Christians on this rod are his followers itself. God’s famous rods started with Aaron which placed which was placed in the arc of Covenant as a reminder and bore flowers as a promise of regeneration for the Jews. Jesus became as Christians our vine and we became him branches in the New Testament (John 15).

A photo of the Rod of Jesse from a church collection willl be attched in the next post.

It is Jesus the redeemer and heir to David who will redeem us all and the Jews to from exile-Jesus is from the offspring and roots of David (Revelation 22: 16). Some Jews believe that the Messiah prophecies are for David to come, but this is inaccurate and it is Jesus who will redeem them. "I will set up thy seed after thee (after King David), which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I will be his father, and he shall be my son (2 Samuel 7 12-13). God in this scripture also called David his servant and said that his Son was to come.

This scripture further points that Jesus Christ will be the one to redeem the Jewish people. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, the Lord our righteousness Jeremiah (23: 1-6). David will return in the new Jerusalem (Hosea 3:4-5).

Jesus is also known as the Prince of Peace and more attributes which do not point to who is to come as being a mere mortal being and this is mentioned in (Isaiah 9:6). “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

God also confirms in the New Testament Jesus as his only Begeotteon beloved Son –“this is my Beloved only son who I am well pleased" (John 3:16 ). Then in Luke Jesus was asked to this question if was the Son of God and Jesus said that yes he is the Son of God (Luke 22:70). He does not lie and the God the Father simply does not lie as well.

The miracles and healing he gave as we all saw in the New Testament that Jesus Christ ministry gave are well known in the New Testament around 40 in number they were as recorded in the Bible and I saw too with my own eyes in church and in my life, the healing that he gave me. I saw a child who could not walk once an after a few times of healing work at church he started to walk again. This was a miracle of Jesus Christ in our era. It is Jesus Christ who primarily who approves the gifts of the Holy Spirit this as he is the head of the church who appoints these gifts and roles of ministry (Ephesians 4:11).

The Church Body which are made of human beings are the members of the church and Jesus is also the head of the Church and we are part of this body (Ephesians 1:22-23). He promised to send believers a comforter after his resurrection Christ as a Christian gave me the spoken comforter which is the Holy Spirit (John 4:11)? The comforter is the Holy Spirit you receive when you are baptised of water and spirit..

The Son of God is an expression which indentified Jesus of Nazareth as the being who has had an eternal relationship to his Father (Psalm 2:7 ) "You are my Son; today I have become your Father." "You are my Son; today I have become your Father." Christ claimed to be the Son of God (Matthew 4:3; 8: 29; 27:54). (Matthew 4:3; 8: 29; 27:54). This too makes clear that Jesus is the Son of God (John 5:18). Also in the New Testament the term the Son of God appears in the New Testament almost 50 times. God also confessed that Jesus was his son at his baptism and at the transfiguration (Matthew 3:16, 17; 17: 5). Jesus also said that he is the Son of God (John 4:15) Revelation (2:18) (John 20:31) (Matthew 4:3) (II Corinthians 1:19) (Luke 8:28), the Jewish Sanhedrin condemned Jesus for blasphemy (Matthew 26: 63-66); (Mark 14 :61).

Jesus also was eighty times called the Son of Man which means God and the Messiah for humans in the New Testament. In Psalm 80 he was also called the Son of Man and was to called the Son of Man throughout Ezekiel to.

Jesus came to life as a mortal divine being through an Immaculate Conception. Angel Gabriel told Jesus' mortal mother to be Mary that she would overpowered by the Holy Spirit and receive a child and that would be God's Son.

This story is found in the Gospels- (Luke 1:26-38)-" And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David". The book of Luke is considered a highly reliable historical source which I know nearly all my life and it is the word of God.

I think in some countries more signs of Christ and the Holy Spirit presence will convince more people that Jesus is the Son of God and that eternal life is near and they will a season at least a while and will stay like young cubs parked with a lion on grass with him.

More history confirming Jesus Christ life is the Dead Sea Scrolls-
The Dead Sea scrolls contain (Isaiah 53) prophecy which is about Jesus Christ life to come. These scrolls were found in caves south of Jericho in the Dead Sea are and contain Biblical evidence the period of time between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament. There are two scrolls Isaiah, one being complete. To our understanding of the period of time between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament times, and to a better understanding of Hebrew and Aramaic.

We have done the 1st resurrection of Christ and are waiting for the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) which will happen in a twinkling of an eye (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) and then will come the 2nd judgement and second coming and judgement and then New Earth/Heaven.

We should be working in the field till he comes-"Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left." (Matthew 24:20).

We never got to the bottom of this biblical error that I posted earlier this month

Despite what the Bible tells us in Joshua 10:12–14, the sun did not stand still nor did the earth stop rotating. Physics is clear; if the earth ever stopped spinning for even a second, all people, animals, rocks, topsoil, trees, buildings, and so on, would be swept away into the atmosphere. In addition, there is no recorded history anywhere in the world about areas having a long day or long night.

I think there are two ways of seeing this one way is seeing this scripture as poetry and symbolism when time seemed to stop, but didn't.

There is also a litreal way of seeing this verse and I would tend to go with this as God spoke in it and God speaking in my view makes it seem litreal. God is the creator and this is possible with him- some of his mysteries are unknown to us and and will likely remain so. I read it again and it mentioned a Book of Jasher which has been removed from the Bible which may have explained it more.

Joshua 10-
"Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.."

If the earth had stopped rotating, we wouldn’t be here. It’s not possible - your god is not greater than physics. Yet another inaccuracy in the Bible.

It could be referring to blazing cities lighting the sky, perhaps? I've tried looking for hints, but keep getting lost in ongoing arguments between archaeologists. There is a heavy destruction layer from around 1400 BC, the time of Joshua's mass murder campaign across Canaan, showing total conflagrations of many of the towns & cities mentioned. I can't work out which ones, or whether they could all have been burning at the same time.

It's probably hyperbole, part of the whole JWH-assisted genocide schtick. The region was being overrun by Hittites in the North and the "Habiru" everywhere else. This is attested in the Amarna tablets, written by desperate rulers to an unhelpful Egypt. The poor fuckers died, along with all their people and livestock.

Biblical historians put an insane amount of effort into saying Habiru doesn't mean Hebrew. They're on a hiding to nothing; it all stacks up.

God promised the "land of milk and honey" would provide the Hebrews with good houses they did not build, filled with beautiful stuff they did not put there. By the time Joshua showed up with his vast army of allies & mercenaries, he seems to have decided the houses & belongings didn't matter so long as they exterminated the residents at top speed.

IMO it just shows what a load of nonsense it all is. Nothing with clarity and honesty - all open to interpretation and so much totally impossible and unbelievable. Still no evidence that’s it’s true (well I know it’s not)!

Yeah, the Old Testament is just like all the other "My Glorious Campaigns" records left by Bronze Age rulers. I marched over this, that and the other lands, I subdued them, their men I killed and their women I took with other spoils. The spoils were this much gold and that much silver, etc. All praise to this god and that god, who strengthened my arm and made kings bow before me. Here's a list of all the sacrifices I made and temples I built for them.

Egypt fucked up by not supporting its vassals, imo. The rulers' pleas were mostly to Akhenaten, who was otherwise occupied building a new city to honour his monotheistic worship of the Sun god. It didn't last.

What a literal minded way of experiencing life.

Well, we're discussing a religious text that its followers say IS literally true!

I’ve plenty of imagination but that’s not the issue here. It’s religious believers passing the Bible off as fact and true without any evidence or proof.

This makes no sense, @Justmerach. You happily take as literally true and inerrant a multi-authored Iron Age text, riddled with the tribal preoccupations, archaic attitudes and errors you’d expect in an ancient text handed down orally before it was ever written down, you’re happy to cut and paste random sermons from the internet because they’re by a ‘minister’, and you claim that Joseph of Cupertino must have levitated because there were witnesses, but you won’t accept the Charity Commission of Singapore’s figures?

The laying waste and gathering spoils still goes on, literally. Maybe sometimes it seems as though the sun never rises in the middle of the bombed concrete dust and winter light. Maybe sometime oral history will report it that way.

The sun has 'failed to rise' or been 'eaten by the night' many times in history. That's explainable - atmospheric dust and eclipses. The sun 'not setting' is only mentioned five or six times across history. It is impossible, unless you're in the Arctic/Antarctic. No natural phenomenon can explain it. It's a lie, told to aggrandise the protagonist of a story.

This one wasn't even satisfied with the sun not setting, he had to have it stationary in the same position for 36 hours 😂

There would be a figurative meaning to the ‘sun standing still’. A time of awe and wonder that something extraordinary had happened perhaps. Things happen physically but are interpreted mentally.

You would think this so called creator would have ensured the bible was written in a way which wasn’t subject to misinterpretation?

A few tips on stuff like penicillin would have been handy too.

It is not within my faith to act like the judge and jury on people and make comments falsely on people (false witnessing) . You need to see accounts to determine fraud for incoming and outgoing I suspect. As Christians we are guided by spiritual law and also the law of the land (Romans 13:1-2). There is something called the law of the land and a faith.

I will state again the sermons were not random sermons. I have listened to them and they were on topic. So what if they were random. They were not though but were used to set a theme, you say that you taught English, there is multiple ways to present discussion. Not a mature approach.

Wouldn't it just?!

"I can give you 36 hours of daylight for battling, knock your foes dead with giant hailstones, make rivers gush from desert rocks, kill a whole nation's firstborn overnight and make old women fertile. Can't stop your wounded soldiers dying of gangrene, though, sorry. Oh, and you can tell if your wife's been unfaithful by making her drink dirty water."

My omnipotent arse 😉

Always good to check what verses actually say when a Christian quotes them.

You said : " As Christians we are guided by spiritual law and also the law of the land (Romans 13:1-2). There is something called the law of the land and a faith."

Lets have a look.

Rom 13:1-2 "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. " (KJV)

OK. so God is the boss, follow his rules or it's of to damnation you go. But lets read on a couple of lines.

Rom 13:3-7 " For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. " (KJV)

Ahh right. So it's the preacher who has the power. Obey the preacher, for he has the power to smite on behalf of this God. And you have to pay the preacher too, for having this life or death power over you.

The preachers just happen to be Paul and his pals. Paul, who never met Jesus, and who does not like to hang about with the apostles, who apparently had known the guy.

So basically Paul is describing an absolute authoritarian theocratic dictatorship, with himself at the top.

So not a narco-syndicous commune where members take turns to be leader for a week, where all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting.

Just like in acts 5, this whole forgive message appears to have gone out the window. Instead we are back to :

"Oh, now we see the violence inherent in the system!"

"Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm bein' repressed!"

@RedTagAlan it seems simple to me. God wants us to follow the law of the land, but that he is the highest legal authority and started this with him . Think of it like a family tree that started with God but is now being shared with others now with different laws.

Any religious laws don’t trump the legal laws. Your god isn’t higher than legislation of the country you live in.

Except that is not what that says is it ?

You keep changing what the Bible says. Your sin book must be full by now :-)

It says this to me.

Very funny, not really.

Why don't you check online what others say about this."christians law of the land rules"

I have to say you can be insultive at times. You write things like I used to be a Christian and was not truthful...Now I am an absoultist and always truthful..To a stranger you write this...Then you ask me to be truthful for once.
I do not lie and I do not like it being assumed that I am because of my faith.
Some of your questions you don't reveal your intent to at times so I be on guard with your style.

In this thread about scripture it was written by some no more scripturre when it based on this. No Bible ministers notes either or hearing by a minister or church authorised information in places as well. A mix of material can be helpful and I can decide what I feel is best as an adult and not be spoken like a school child or student by some people.

Little do we know about each other. You seem to form opiions by others for Christians when everyone is different.

You’re going to get yourself in trouble if you believe a religious god law trumps a legal law.

Rom 13:3-7 " For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. " (KJV)

It says the ruler is a minister of God to dispense punishment as he sees fit. And be paid for it.

Where has the forgive bit went ?

@Justmerach, did you do well at school and university? Have you ever been diagnosed with a mild intellectual disability? It’s just that you seem to really struggle conceptually and with reasoning.
