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).

But I think you said in an earlier post that the Bible was the "word of God"?

I have written that it is the inspired word of God through the Holy Spirit and that is what I mean. Each person has got their own style as well and writing takes this into account at times further to what that article quoted. They do though reflect the truth of God's word.

Does that apply to AI ?

What do you mean by "inspired " tho @Justmerach . Usually inspired means that someone was inspired or led by inspiration, but from what? From god, or from something else? If , as you say, it's from "the Holy Spirit" then thats from God?

Yes the Bible is divenly inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God's spirit.

The below scripture I believe is a description of the Holy Spirit. There may be more to it, but from that I can figure that they are referring to this.
Psalm 104-
"Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain":

Trying to be understanding to your thoughts here @Justmerach but you say that the Bible is God's word but at other times say some of the Bible is parable or symbolic. It's either God's word or not, it can't be parable/symbolic and God's word at the same time?

Divenly inspired work can be symbolic or litreal. Some of the Gospels is parables as well. The Revelations is a vision of John's from Jesus Christ and a lot of it is symbolic. Sometimes it is this way as it a revelation to come from God. It is not just my view here, this is the view that most church's share. I put the Catholic church here before the Vatician as they are close to the early church and they had this to write on this-The spirit of truth is the Holy Spirit.

The Old Testament
121 The Old Testament is an indispensable part of Sacred Scripture. Its books are divinely inspired and retain a permanent value,92 for the Old Covenant has never been revoked.

The New Testament
125 The Gospels are the heart of all the Scriptures "because they are our principal source for the life and teaching of the Incarnate Word, our Saviour".98
126 We can distinguish three stages in the formation of the Gospels: 1. the life and teaching of Jesus. the Church holds firmly that the four Gospels, "whose historicity she unhesitatingly affirms, faithfully hand on what Jesus, the Son of God, while he lived among men, really did and taught for their eternal salvation, until the day when he was taken up."99 2. the oral tradition. "For, after the ascension of the Lord, the apostles handed on to their hearers what he had said and done, but with that fuller understanding which they, instructed by the glorious events of Christ and enlightened by the Spirit of truth, now enjoyed."100 3. the written Gospels. "The sacred authors, in writing the four Gospels, selected certain of the many elements which had been handed on, either orally or already in written form; others they synthesized or explained with an eye to the situation of the churches, the while sustaining the form of preaching, but always in such a fashion that they have told us the honest truth about Jesus."101

I don’t know about AI, but I can tell from seeing some ministers that they really put a lot of effort in to their sermon writing.

I read something once that a man was looking for signs of God after leaving the faith years on and may be claiming to having felt this before as a Christian. I found it moving and went to try and see how they are, but they had left the forum. I will quote the 1st post-

"I'm starting this thread to ask people what experiences they have had that they would consider a manifestation of God. Curious, because I've had some experiences I could describe as manifestations of God. Especially when I was younger and a believer, I would associate certain experiences and/or feelings as a result of God's presence. Then later in life, as I became an atheist, I no longer experienced anything I could conclude was such a manifestation or sign from God........ While meanwhile, what signs have you received? Past or present? Thanks!"

How do you know which is parable and which is directly from God. It doesn't really say in the Bible and I would presume God would indicate which is which if it were the case that there are differences? He wouldn't put it up for debate?

Jesus said himself in the Gospels usually when he was speaking in parables. There was quite a number of parables in the Bible in the Gospels.
In the Revelations- for example the daughter of Blasphemy is a symbolic truth and a not a itreal story. The daughter of blasphemy represents corruption and sin which is the world is meant to arrive at the end of the world.

The parables have moral truths often, a motto of the story that we are encouraged to do. Some people can read the Bible differently. Symbolic or litreal something still can be true. For example some people think the Genesis story is a symbolic truth and some take the story as litreal truth.I don't think it rules somebody out if they believe it to be a symbolic truth versus a litreal truth Like somebody may think that Eve received a thought from Satan as opposed to a serpent sending it in the Garden of Eden. Now one of these would be symbolic and one would be litreal. Both people would believe in it and the Christian faith. I know people who take it as a symbolic truth this story and I am not there to question this. I take the Bible as it stands as the inspired of God whether a story is symbolic or litreal.

I will paste what a church has written on the Bible on their website.

"We believe the Bible, as originally given, to be without error, the fully inspired and infallible Word of God and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct".

John 17:17
"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth".

1 Thessalonians 2:13
"For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe".

Revelation 22:19-this prophecy was from Jesus. It is strong, but I am not here to hide anything.
"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book".

The authors, in writing the four Gospels, selected certain of the many elements which had been handed on, others they synthesized or explained with an eye to the situation of the churches, the while sustaining the form of preaching, but always in such a fashion that they have told us the honest truth.

My job included writing sales pitches. I was good at it; I won awards. Writing them did involve a degree of inspiration - the thing your mind does when you feed it the information and ask it to synthesize something fresh and worthwhile, a new viewpoint. Then I'd use rhetorical skills to formulate the argument for my intended audience, tailoring it to their specific situation and interests.

The gospels are sales pitches. You're describing the exact same process.

I'm sure they did tell the 'honest truth' as they saw it. The thing about 'truth' is that different people honestly see it differently. Try asking Russians and Ukrainians for the honest truth about their war, for instance! Even with a truth as basic as 'the sun rises every day', we might say that's wrong, the Earth rotates. There are probably still some people who believe it hides behind the mountains and goes to sleep.

In article I read about a woman researching the meaning of 'truth', she went to a small village in rural Russia that's really cut off from the rest of the world. They have brown bears in that region. She told them about polar bears. No, they said, bears are not white. You're lying. After she showed them pictures, half of them - the older villagers - still said they believed all bears are brown 'until I see a white one for myself'.

The authors of the gospels would've believed the stories of Jesus as far as they needed to, given the information they had. When writing a sales pitch, it was not my job to look for faults in the facts I was given or reasons why the clients should buy something else instead. In the same way, the bible authors only needed to make persuasive arguments from the proposition materials.

I'm really glad I was never asked to write for a superstitious audience seeking magical solutions to their anxieties 😂 In 100 AD, that was the brief - and those men did it well, obviously, for the audiences of the time. It baffles me that millions still buy it - but, hey, 'there are no white bears'.

I came across these three articles today about Jesus being the Son of God.

St Magreat's street church has got a Zoom group about Mary if interested. If not interested they have others to come at some point.

I don't see how posting 3 links helps your argument, unless you clip out the specific parts that you think are pertinent.

Eg, on the first article you linked there is the, the first line:

"Jesus is God’s Son, the one to whom all Scripture leads and the one who is God and man."

Ahh right. So this wont have any bias then. And of course, what follows is bible bible bible, with so many logical stretches that the author must be made of elastic.

You are gish galloping. And that is not good faith debate. Because I could work through all the articles and do a detailed 5000 word rebuttal, examining every claim made, and what would your reply be ? To post another 3 near identical links?

Why can't you pick one part, and really drill down into it. To show that it is real and reliable?

Here, for example, is a part I noticed:

The councils of Nicea (AD 325) and Chalcedon (AD 451), among others, responded to heresies related to what it meant that Jesus is the son of God.

Thats 400 years after the fact. So ok, lets see the minutes from those meetings, and the transcripts of evidence presented.

And the 400 years matter. I was thinking about this as I saw the news about the arrest of the former prince. It has been 400 years since the last arrest of a senior UK royal, Charles the first, in 1647. If we were to re-try that Charles, the collection of evidence might be quite a challenge . even though the civil war was fairly well documented at the time.

So do you have any info on "The councils of Nicea (AD 325) and Chalcedon (AD 451), among others" ? And what are these "others"? Any Info?

I picked them because that is what is there out there on this subject. I looked at journals to and ithere was not much on this subject. I have been recommended this website by an ordained doctor in the faith in the past. People can read the material themselves if interested and form their own conclusions. Yes, it supports the original question.

It’s doesn’t support the original question. It’s just copy and paste. Nothing to substantiate it - no evidence, just sections of text.

The Church says it has his Holy foreskin, so they could DNA test it.

The Holy Foreskin | RELICS

There are no DNA results

OMG (or not) this is brilliant! 🤣

There are several 'authentic' Holy Foreskin relics. Possibly the most famous was this one:

In the Italian village of Calcata, a reliquary containing the supposed Holy Foreskin was paraded through the streets as recently as 1983 on the Feast of the Circumcision, which was formerly marked by the Roman Catholic Church around the world on January 1 each year. The practice ended, however, when thieves stole the jewel-encrusted case, contents and all.

Apparently it was stolen from the village priest's home, where he kept the relic in a shoebox. One can only suppose God willed the mysterious theft, for where else could it have gone?? 👀

Other theological theories suggest the foreskin ascended with Jesus or, in a 17th-century claim, became the rings of Saturn.

@JustmerachA very quick Google search posts me to a multitude of articles which ‘prove’ that Jesus ISN’T the son of god. Your very Church based biased postings are not evidence in any way, shape or form.
If you are not prepared for a rigorous academic debate please desist.

Are you a Christian and do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God?
No, this is not just my argument and is shared with the majority of the Christian faith that Jesus is the Son of God. This post was fundamentally about biblical scripture from the beginning and looking at scripture what it says about Jesus being the Son of God because there are conflictions out there understandin the scripture. This post primarily was about that. I have replied using scripture and shown in the Bible that it shows that Jesus is the Son of God.

No, I don't need post the reverse which is not my faith and what I don't believe in. That is for others to post if they want to. The debate came to an end and I was posting following up information if people wanted to research further if interested. Please don't tell me what I should do.

You have posted what you consider is your evidence but many of us have posted conflicting information - which is true?

You are free to believe in what you want, and so are others. I have already stated my thoughts in this thread.

The topic of the thread is “Scripture to confirm that Jesus Christ is the Only true Son of God”

I don’t think you have convinced anyone.

The question was answered using scripture. This is about putting correct information out there about what is written in the scripture. Somebody else posted quite a detailed post that Jesus was not the Son of God in another thread that day using scripture. I wanted to reply in that thread but it got closed and I replied here with something already written on that question.

There is little on pubmed on this question and it needed to be done.

But many of the scriptures are incorrect, impossible and factually wrong - does that not worry you
