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).

God is all powerful and I have suggested this as well to my own spirit, that if we get a version 2 of the Bible as we are nearing the end that this could be clearer. That at the heading of stories like Jesus did they could say if they were a parable or litreal. The 10 Commandments was written by God , but the majority of the Bible was written by man under divine inspiration and by human beings.

Some fun in the Bible is had by taking some stories litreal. Now this is good if it is just for you, but if you are sharing to others you have to try and go with the original intent of a story.

@Justmerach

You said a few posts back that Jesus could not be dishonest.

But we have this verse.

Mat 16:28 "I tell you with certainty, some people standing here will not experience death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." "(KJV)

That never happened. So was he being dishonest?

We don’t need a version 2! Why would anyone spend their time doing that. Let’s all just accept that the Bible was written a long time by numerous people and they weren’t eye witnesses so probably got a lot wrong in interpretation and translation.

I will write again Jesus is not dishonest.

Some people will not see spiritual death in their lives. I think that some people and those who 1st rescurrected some souls went to heaven as the Bible says. This is about eternal life and Jesus will be the "husband/groom" of his "bride" his church in the New Earth where they see him.

" For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom".

After the book of Revelations is done and some think we are at the end times now. After this though the Bible says there will be a New Earth and Heaven. So all the prophecy in the Bible will be done for the world so who know what could come next.

But they are all dead. So it was a false statement.

There won’t be a new earth for us non believers - nothing will change. Life will continue as it is now. You can’t be affected by something which doesn’t exist (to non believers)

You do not know this.
(Revelations 20)
This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years".

Given this was over 2k years ago......

So name one of the people who were there who are still alive. If alive, where are they ?

Now, given that there is no evidence of anyone living over 2k years plus, I can 100% say it was wrong.

"This statement by Jesus (Matthew 16:28, Mark 9:1, Luke 9:27) indicates that some disciples would witness a powerful manifestation of God’s kingdom within their lifetimes. It is generally interpreted as referring to the Transfiguration, the Resurrection/Pentecost, or the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. It highlights the imminent, historic arrival of the Kingdom of God".

People like John the Baptist who was Jesus' cousin may be in Heaven and still living but not on earth. I do not know who was there at that time, they could be martyrs to the faith. A vision from Paul said there could 3 levels of Heaven. They showed me something with people all wearing red for my life when I had an intervention. I figured it could be martyrs. Peoples souls and spirit will live on in the New Earth with a glorified body.

(2 Corinthians 12:2-4)
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

David Suchet is a Christian man who was an agnostic/atheist and converted to Christianity at 40 years old. There has been some views on how differently people can take the Bible and so I thought I would put an interview by him here and some of his thoughts on the Bible. David Suchet is an actor who played Hercule Poirot.

So you have no evidence that anyone who was there when Jesus allegedly said that is still alive.

So it's leaning towards being an untrue statement.

There is another way of taking this is that Jesus' church mission will be here, even though some try and obtrust this but his true church on.earth will remain.
The church can represent some of the people there to.
You have written that is not about the Bible for you, and for most here to. You had a faith for 20 years the Christian faith and how you thought things is likely how some people see it to.

Quote :"You have written that is not about the Bible for you, ..."

I have written the opposite. That my interest is the errors and contradictions in the Bible.

So you have no evidence that anyone is still alive that Jesus said that to ?

You could just say you have no evidence instead of going around the houses. Then we can see where the conversation goes.

This what you wrote which can amount to the same thing to some people.
"This was my question : " do you concede that lack of Bible knowledge is not an issue here ?""

You can have a bit of a black and white view of seeing things and happy to call others dishonest. This black and white thinking and calls other dishonest does not work very well in scripture. I explained versions of that scripture from different points of view, but you have an issue with this it and you can do some further research as well.

You are avoiding the question.

Do you have evidence anyone is still alive?

And you can't really say in heaven, because the Bible, from memory, says 2 people were taken to heaven. Apart from Jesus.

I took a look on the workingpreacher website and somebody mentioned about people putting obstacles to Jesus' rock which is the church. I thought about this and it made sense as well. This may be about the church. Also, I posted about the transfiguration which has been and Jesus was in the clouds/sky then with Elijah and Moses. There are a number of views on this.

Yes. My query was more about why God planted his mysterious 'seed' in a Jewish woman in Galilee when, as an omnipotent deity of everything everywhere, he could've done it to anyone anywhere.

I know Jesus said he was of David's line, as we discussed earlier. He wasn't, though, because he supposedly had no human father. Theologists have decided he meant through his mother's line. That goes against everything else in the Bible: their society was strictly patrilineal.

Be that as it may, God could still have impregnated another woman in a different country. Your reply here reflects the biblical story that he was born Jewish because God was attached to the Hebrews. This means God was a Jewish god, doesn't it?

He reserved the Israelites for himself. Not the Saxons, the Gauls, the Romans, the Hittites, the Kushites, the Chinese or the Nazca - just the Hebrews, a smallish group in a small part of Arabia.

He delivered his son to that small group. So he was only interested in them!

If he wanted to take over the world, he might have put his son into a bigger, more influential society elsewhere. Or even a few dozen sons in different places, to spread his word more effectively. But, according to the bible, he was a Jewish god who placed a Jewish son in a Jewish society. He wasn't even interested in anyone else.

Not Moses. According to the Bible it was Enoch who was taken up.

That's from memory. But it goes to show, is a Christian website can't get it right.

Now you mentioned "baiting" above. Nah, just asking questions. And we all have the right to ask, especially when there are UK political parties declaring the UK to be a Christian nation etc. So, within a few years, we might be seeing stuff like this on UK shores:

Court approves law requiring Louisiana schools to display Ten Commandments | US News | Sky News

I actually see it as a public duty to question religion, to try to help prevent this from happening.

Btw, it was Moses and Elijah at the transfiguration and not Enoch- It appears to be yourself who got this wrong. Can you try and keep your questions related to the thread topic..

(Matthew 17:4) NIV
"Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus"

I don't think that God is Jewish. Also, before Moses there were others who were not Jewish like Noah and Adam. They were not reported to be Jewish. It is thought that we come from Noah's son.It is also thought largely that Muslims are from Ishamel Abraham's son with Hagar.I know that somebody wrote that Jesus was Muslim.

I think most likely at that time God looked around and saw who was the most righteous on earth and their loyality to God and established his convenant with them and Abhraham was chosen God severed them for himself by his laws for the chosen which they had to follow to reach his Son.

In (Galatians 3:28) it became clear that God saw everyone as equal. There was no slave or free slave before him or Jew or Greek before him. There was also not a man or a woman before him.

He is a forgiving God and still loves this community as he does with others when they are obedient to him.

I think in times of the Old Testatment being Jewish was decided by the mother's heritage and seems to be rooted in (Deuteronomy 7:3-4) and the Talmud.

It’s appalling the schools are being forced to display the 10 Commandments - what’s happened to separation of church and state?
Am so pleased religious education was prohibited at DT’s school. In an ideal world, I’d ban all religious schools and religious education within the school system.

People who never died in the Bible. Enoch and Elijah. I never mentioned any transfiguration.

I was wrong though. I thought it was just the 2, but looking it up, there is another.

Melchizedek .

Heb 7:1-3 "Now this man Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham and blessed him when he was returning from defeating the kings. Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything. In the first place, his name means "king of righteousness," and then he is also king of Salem, that is, "king of peace." He has no father, mother, or genealogy, no birth date recorded for him, nor a date of death. Like the Son of God, he continues to be a priest forever." (ISV)

And goodness me. This complicates the ONLY son of God thing. No father or mother, no genealogy.

And it gets more complex, cos this guy is mentioned in the NT, and only has a couple of mentions in the OT.

Gen 14:18-20 " King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine, since he was serving as the priest of God Most High. Melchizedek blessed Abram and said, "Abram is blessed by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your control." Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything. " (ISV)

What is going on here. This King/priest in mentioned in Genesis AFTER the flood, so he can't be a "son of the Gods", because the flood destroyed all. But if he had no father and mother, no genealogy, and " continues to be a priest forever", then he must be an eternal God surely.

And there is:

Psa 110:4 The LORD took an oath and will never recant: "You are a priest forever, after the manner of Melchizedek." (ISV)

So it appears to have been common knowledge that this Melchizedek. was immortal.

And who is this is psalm 104, that it appears God is making immortal ?

It appears that all through the Bible then, that God has an immortal priest in heaven? A fellow God ?

How is this explained away ?

God was not Jewish ?

Well how could he be, when it was all invented by Moses ?

This was pointed out earlier in the thread as a massive plot hole in the whole story. 400 years in bondage, a religious group.... when there was no actual religion until AFTER.

Could drive a bus through that plot hole.

Agree. And I often think it should go further, in the UN charter on human rights should be changed, to make it a preference that children are protected from religion until a set age. Say 16. Maybe 13 ?

That is "Freedom from religion" should be included.

But that does affect the right to self determination, so I accept that might not be workable.
