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).

I believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. You do not believe this and you are entitled to think whatever you want. You was given links to science material to read further if you wanted.

I do not post as you implied before to try and convince others of a faith. I try and post correct information if needed and if anyone finds anything helpful that is between God and them and not me.

In a faith it is your spirit who convinces you of things and yourself and that is a personal thing.

@Justmerach Why do you ask if I’m a Christian, is it because I attend a church?

I think it is best if I don't reply as I didn't ask that above.

Moving on-

This lent at the church that I go to we will be reading and reviewing a book in a Lent book club. The book is by Rowan Williams called Discovering Christianity 2025. if anyone is interested it may be a good place to start to. Rowan Williams is the fomer archbishop and he went to Cambridge. There is a chapter called how does Jesus reveal God and some other chapters as well.

I think most UK people know who Rowan Williams is.

Why is his book a better place to start (on what) than the Bible ?

If the Bible makes no sense, why would a book about the Bible make sense ?

Some people may like books to get more understanding.

If you are interested in the faith and want to learn more about it may be a good place to start. I didn't write that others shouldn't read the Bible as well.

I love Easter - the chocolate eggs and hot cross buns. We have to order them from the British shop at a very inflated price but sometimes I think it’s worth it although we do have some amazing chocolatiers locally.

I hope that you enjoy it.
I like every year attending an early service when the burn logs.

If some of you like the topic of religious discussion then perhaps looking on Youtube and typing loose women religion may be interesting to some of you. I never watch it live it as I don't like gossip programmes, but I caught it on Youtube today and took a look. Now it is not academic stuff, but it can be something to watch and they are only short about 5-10 minutes long. I was quite surprised.

Rachel, you asked if I was a Christian in this post. Why did you say you didn’t ask me?

As you’re aware religion doesn’t form any part of our family daily life - Easter is chocolate 🍫

I asked you a question if you were a Christian and if you believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and I didn't ask if you attend church. You replied with a question so I left it. People who have been involed in this thread quite a bit have said if they have faith or not. Your comments can be difficult to figure out.

1. You said well done to others in their posts so I thought you were not Christian at first. Yes, we can support others in voicing their opinions, but I thought you agreed with their theology in a thread of this nature etc..
2. You seemed to get up in arms with the post a few times. This thread is about scripture and I don't set out to convince others but to inform. I don't know what evidence you wanted me to provide outside of scripture when the thread was on this subject. I mentioned the Holy Scripture to support Jesus' existence and healings etc and that is what I could do and post links to further research to science etc..Research is limited on this subject.
3. You said the thread willl drive others away from any interest...the thread is nothing of that sort and not in that style and manner.
4. You were defamotory at times. I wrote I don't trust the work of illusionists responding to your comments and you repeated that I must let you have your opinion. I wasn't supporting you having your opinion and was simply commenting myself.
5. Some of your comments was self invented about my thoughts.
6. What I have done is not outside of scripture and supports it.

Not all Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. So with your commets that could be difficult I asked you if you was a Christian who believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

I posted the link to Lourdes miracles in thread post as Jesus Christ is the one who approves them really through the Holy Spirit which confirms his existence with us. Jesus is the head of the church and appoints people in their serving roles in the church and appoints their gifts to as told in Ephensians 4 and John 14. Jesus said that he would send his believers the Holy Spirit as well which is the comforter-which he did to me as well.

I mentioned in this thread how I had healing myself from the Holy sacraments that was blessed without praying for it myself.

I am posting a link about some accounts of healing in the church through the Holy Sacraments which is the Eucharist and blood of Christ. Healing is dependent on God's will and timing and it is not inveitable that for all of us in our lives and doesn't signify who we are. I will post the links below.

I liked this quote from yesterday's service from Robert Baden Powell.

"So in our work, indeed in any work of life, we should look forward well forward with high aims and hope. Look around with joy and good will. Look back with thankfulness at what has been accomplished and then press on with renewed vigour, with helpful initiative and with broadened outlook towards the highest goal. Not forgetting to give a helping hand to others as we go. But when you look, look wide. And even when you think you are looking wide, look wider still"

This website has got some recent accounts also-

(Ephesians 4:11)

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever"

I had a look at the magicenter which seems to be a research website. They have a few topics and one is called the historical Jesus. They have many others to. You will find the link to the other articles from the link by clicking articles.

It’s a religious website so hardly independent research. It’s also a website asking for money.

@Justmerach

Goodness me. Accusing posters of all sorts of things. Not very Christian of you.

Son of God ? OK, back to the Bible.

Mat 12:40 "for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. " (KJV)

Mat 12:40 "for as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights."(LSV)

Mat 12:40 "because just as Jonah was in the stomach of the sea creature for three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights." (ISV)

Jesus said that apparently. Can we examine the errors ? I have used 3 popular bible versions to avoid arguments over translations. But we can do the Greek if you want.

A whale is a mammal, not a fish. A man can't live in the belly of a whale/fish for 3 days. He would drown/be digested/be crushed/suffocated.

The heart of the earth is between 4 and 5 thousand Celsius, The pressure is about 360 GPa, or 3.6million atmospheres. Nothing could survive that.

Would the son of God/part of God, creator of the universe not know this ?

It certainly appears Jesus thought the Jonah story was real.

Asking somebody a question if they are a Christian who believes in Jesus Christ in this thread is not accusing anybody of anthing. I stated simply what led me to ask this question. There is no accusing in the post.

It is research website on evidence that is out there. Much of the evidence was shared on their website which they didn't generate themselves, but are reporting on.

Regards to the Jonah story I lreally like this story in the Bible. I like that Jonah was an outsider prophet to and was not an Israelite who came to preach the message of repentance to the people in the city of Niveh. Jonah came from a place of disadvantage also coming from Zebulun.

An old Bible of mine states this about Jonah-
" This didactic little tract is designed to teach in opposition to a narrower view that God's purposes of grace are not necessarily limited to the Chosen People and in any case that obedience is required of a prophet"

Back to your question-It is up to somebody how they take this story whether as a litreal truth or a symbolic moral truth.

@Justmerach Muslims believe in Jonah too. And the story of him stuck in the whale.
We also beleive in noah and the ark. And Lut and soddom and gomorrah. We also believe in Adam being first creation along with Eve. We also believe in John the Baptist and so much of their stories in bible mirrors stories in the quran. We are.more alike than you think. The only difference is my Christian sister, I dont beleive jesus is God and part of God. Or son of God.

But you dont have to be christian to believe in jesus.
Muslims and Jews also believe in Esa as we call him, peace be upon him.
Jews actually believe he is in hellfire burning in his own faeces and Mary is an adulterer. Terrible. Its in the talmud.

But islam is the only religion that speaks highly of Jesus and his beloved mother.
Muslim women also cover their hair just like mother Mary does

I got a question for you.

I watched a programme on nuns in Australia. And every one of them believes they are married to Jesus, and said they have been picked spiritually as a Christ-bride. What do you think of that?

Yet again. You did not answer the question.

Would the son of God/God not know earth physics /biology?

I would take this passage of the Bible as evidence that Jesus was nothing to do with any God/creator of the universe, and that he was a man. An iron age man, that did not know the stuff that any creator would have to know.

Can you address the question please.

God knows everything. And yes, jesus does not know what God knows.
I'll answer for you. Christians beleive jesus holds the same power as the God . However in the bible it says NO ONE KNOWS THE HOUR, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS, NOR THE SON, BUT ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS.

Jesus also said in the bible, I cannot do anything on my own. So this proves that jesus is lower than God and also the bible says Jesus is lower than the angels.

Funny that, because theres a Christmas hymn that says come and behold him, born the king of angels, oh come let us adore him, christ the lord.
How can he be lord if the creator made him and said he knows nothing about the end of days/day of judgement!!!!!

Jonah is yet another of the Bible impossibilities - common sense please!

Thank you for sharing this. I did some study of Islam and read the Quaran at university, but that was a long time ago and now concentrate on my faith. I did some essays to on the differences between both faiths. I know there are a lot of similarites and there are some differences to. I must try and pull out my old work again to refresh myself.
It was where some people did not seem to know where in the Bible it states that Jesus is the Son of God that led me to post this thread for information of where it states this in the scripture. There is no issue with me respecting others rights to have other faiths.

So if Jesus knows all, he was being dishonest about the whale story ?

About your question. Jesus in the Bible is the groom of the church...the groom are his members his lamb who were confirmed at the end. Some people may see this as that by being commited and conscreated to the faith as being in spiritual union with the faith. Of course it is not litreal. The Bible states that in Revelations that there will be a marriage to the lamb which is Jesus Christ uniting with his church his wife which are believers

Some people to may see themselves as brides of Christ to being devoted to the faith. What do I think, I think that it is up to the individual how they see themselves. I don't have an issue with this.

In Revelation 19:6-9 (KJV), the "marriage of the Lamb" marks the union between Jesus Christ (the Lamb) and the Church (his wife) in Heaven, signaling the culmination of the covenant, featuring the bride arrayed in fine, clean white linen representing the righteousness of saints, followed by the blessed marriage supper.

"And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God".
