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

Justmerach · 19/01/2026 15:47

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).

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.

In this thread there has been some debate over those who have a litreal intrepetation of some Bible stories. I have seen it before in this thread so to be respective to all, it seems best to say it could be both litreal or symbolic/moral however you wish to take it. I believe that Jonah was a real prophet. I actually went through something concerning a whale in a picture image sent from the Holy Spirit in 2014.
I like to take it as a litreal story and that God can do anything. I cannot prove this miracle, but believe in the possiblity and am happy to let it rest on the symbolic moral/ litreal take on it.

What one then ? Litteral or symbolic/allegorical ? It can't be both. It's one or the other.

Either way, Jesus was being dishonest. He should have said something along the lines of, " A whale is not a fish and a man can't live inside for 3 days, but....."

Occam's Razor would suggest the story shows Jesus to be an iron age man.

Nuns are considered brides of the church or (Catholic) of Christ. Catholic nuns wear wedding rings and take what amount to marriage vows. This convention symbolises their loyalty, devotion and chastity. It was a very necessary ritual through most of Christian history, when all women had to be married. The convent was pretty much the only way they could get out of it, by marrying the institution instead.

I don't think you will ever find that Jesus is dishonest.

Now, I don't think it matters how someone takes this whether as a symbolic parable moral turth or litreal story. The bottom line is it at least a parable symbolic story with a moral truth. Jesus didn't rule the possibility of it being a symbolic parable story with a moral truth. Perhaps the workingpreacher website may help you if you want others views.

"Jonah being in swallowed by the giant fish was regarded as a foreshadowing of Jesus's crucifixion and Jonah emerging from the fish after three days was seen as a parallel for Jesus emerging from the tomb after three days."

"The story of Jonah and the whale is interpreted both literally as a historical event and symbolically as a didactic parable. Many scholars view it as a prophetic tale—or even a satire/parable—focusing on themes of God’s mercy, grace, and Jonah’s disobedience, while others, including many believers, take it as a literal historical account."

I don't really care what other people have written about it, so no need for the cut and paste. I am asking you, and I am asking you to think about it. You have a bible, so say what you think it means.

Do you think it is a literal story or not ? It should matter to you, because you are a Christian, and what Jesus said matters ?

This thread is about Jesus being the Son of God but has extended in its questions. I am not actually here to preach the entire Bible as you seem to think, but to discuss the question of the thread and surrounding questions that may come up. This thread didn't seem about respecting others view of their faith and I stepped aside from this.

And this is about Son of God. I have proposed that the son of God/God should know biology and physics. That this passage demonstrates that Jesus does not know either, therefore not son of god/god.

If Jesus is the son of god/god, why does he appear to not know biology/physics ?

He was Jewish in ethnicity but in religion he was a Muslim. A Muslim is a person who submits their will to Allah. And Jesus called God Allaha as he spoke aramaic.

Jesus never said this is my religion Christianity and follow me and call yourselves Christians ✝️ and follow me as God. Never.
You won't find that anywhere in the bible.

Jesus was a man. GOD IS NOT A MAN
Jesus was able to perform miracles by the permission of God. BUT GOD CAN DO ANYTHING HIMSELF AS HE HOLDS ALL POWERS.

in islam we say la hawla waAllah quwatta illa billa. That only true strength and power comes from God/Allah

So you think Jonah is a literal story. And you accept it is impossible.

So that means Jesus, who mentioned the story and appears to believe it, same as you, did not know biology and physics.

Therefore, Jesus is not son of any god/god.

At 17 I was given one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit which Jesus gives to believers as the Bible tell us. This was to help protect myself primarily. The gift has done what God said it would do. In Ephensians 4 it is said that Jesus appoints these gifts. It is a Holy Spirit gift and Jesus said he will his send his believers the Holy Spirit comforter and getting the gifts is a continuation from this perhaps if you show commitment to God.
The gifts are given to support the believer in their faith journey and also to support the church. The gift that I was given has really seemed to serve by giving me visions post 17. I was sent a vision when I was on a whale sitting on it and transported as transport and then given a cup of water to drink which symbolises water from the spirit. There are 8 gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12.

John 14-
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever";

Ephensians 4
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teacher"

1 Corithians 12
" For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues".

From the scriptures you posted, about the Jonah story. There is no mention if it had symbolic or litreal elements. He could been on a ship for example and gone to see a city of corruption which may have been seen as the belly. I have said it is a true story and at its furthest end it can be seen as a moral story and parable with symbolic truth.

This is another take of the word the belly of the whale.

" Among Hebrews the belly was regarded as the seat of carnal desires (Titus 1: 12; Phil 3:19 and Romans 16 :18). The word is used figuratively as the word "heart" is used today Proverbs 18:8 20:27 and 26:22)"

"Symbolic Rebirth: It is not a place of mere death, but a transition where the old self dies so a new, transformed self can emerge".

The "belly of the whale" signifies the final stage of a hero's separation from their known world, representing a dark, womb-like, or isolating place of symbolic death and rebirth. Coined by Joseph Campbell, it represents the moment a hero is swallowed by the unknown, forcing a total ego dissolution, surrender, and transformation into a new, greater self."

Jesus' parents was Jewish and from Gailee and .Joseph was Jewish to.. Of couse Joseph was not Jesus' natural father. Mary was born as the Immaculate Conception and was chosen for this. Jesus has said that he has David roots which means that he was Jewish to. God established his law with the Israelites patirachs who were obedient to him and the lineage continued from there. God severed the Israelites for himself by the laws they followed.

  1. I wrote what I think and that if it was a miracle I couldn't say how it was done.
  2. I said it can be seen as a symbolic parable story or a litreal story.
  3. I said Jesus didn't say if the story was a parable or a litreal story.
  4. I wrote that we can at least know that the story has moral truth to it and is a truthful story.

It is definetly one of those. What I think is not so important, but I wrote what I think. I do not get your point. I wrote that you posted scripture about the Jonah story also.

Edited

You would have thought that if god was so powerful and amazing, that the bible would have been correctly written and made understandable rather than guess work to fit an individual interpretation?
