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).

You selected a scripture Matthew 16:28 and looked for it to be explained. This is what we was explaining. The Bible is divinely inspired by God. I think that you will find not find dishonety in there from them as it was inspired by them to and they are not dishonest. God said who his Son was multiple times. He didn't mention this person you have mentioned to be his Son who had no mention of their parents in the Bible. They may be a forerunner to Christ. Christ appeared to have a similar role to them as both a priest and a king.

Yeah. It's just another problem with all this son of god stuff. It appears there in another god right there, mentioned in the NT. An immortal. An older brother to Jesus.

How is this character explained away ?

What is their name I need to confrm who were writing about?

Jesus said that Christians should be constructive and not nit picky. I actually have a detailed style, but if you have a faith you don't tend to use it on religion really.

Thanks for your reply. I don't know what the Talmud says, but you're incorrect about Deuteronomy. Chapter 7 is all about God helping the Hebrews to obliterate their fellow nations, on condition that they destroy all the other gods and don't intermarry with other faiths. There's nothing whatsoever about matrilineal inheritance.

Galatians, of course, comes from Paul's self-appointed role as builder of the new christian church with overtly international ambitions. Were you to believe his overarching role was divinely appointed, you'd have to square this multinational, all-forgiving god with the civilisation-flattening one of Deuteronomy. I don't think Paul ever said God had repented of his violently xenophobic ways? This might be something you would like to consider.

Where did Jesus say that ?

AI is not very popular in this thread-but I did look at what others were saying-one example and sorry it is so long.

In traditional Jewish Law (Halakha), which is followed by Orthodox and Conservative movements, a person is considered Jewish if their mother is Jewish, or if they have undergone a valid conversion
. This matrilineal principle is primarily derived from a combination of Talmudic interpretation of the Torah, historical precedent, and Rabbinic rulings, rather than a single explicit sentence in the Five Books of Moses.
Biblical and Legal Basis for the Jewish Mother

• Deuteronomy 7:3–4 (The Key Verse): The Talmud (Kiddushin 68b) infers the matrilineal rule from this passage, which warns against intermarriage because "he [a non-Jewish husband] will turn away your son from following Me". The sages reasoned that if the child of a Jewish woman is called "your son" (meaning Jewish) even when the father is non-Jewish, but the child of a non-Jewish woman is not considered Jewish, it proves that Jewish status is passed through the mother.
• The Book of Ezra (10:2–3): When Jews returned to Israel from Babylon and found many had married non-Jewish women, Ezra led a movement to send away those women and their children. The inclusion of the children in the expulsion, regardless of their Jewish fathers, is cited as evidence that the children of non-Jewish mothers were not considered part of the community.

@RedTagAlan said clearly that the name is Melchizedek. Not a 'they' but a 'he', a very high priest-king referenced in Genesis 14:18–20, in Psalm 110:4 and in Hebrews 7:2,4.

“Constructive and not nit picky”

ive not read the bible but im sure that wasnt said. You seem to twist everything to your own agenda with no understanding that the bible might actually be false and you are just interpreting it incorrectly

That it is what it amounted to. You can google this "Jesus said we should not be nit picky."

Well no. It is you making the claim of what he said, so it is up to you to provide the evidence.

It means pretty much the same thing, that we shoud aim to be constructive and not nit picky for the smallest of things legalistic and trivial. Jesus "emphasized grace, mercy, and focusing on major spiritual matters over trivial, legalistic disputes".

Jesus was tried by these type of people. He said we should not look for others faults and they will look at ours and find more in us. May be you do not see this way but I do. Looking at the Bible to find faults is a bit along this line to me.
You may not wish to follow and I wouldn't ask you to, but I would like to follow.

Back to Deuteronomy, @Justmerach. 7:3-4 (King James)

Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
For they will turn away thy son from following me

It's blindingly obvious that this means "Don't intermarry, men or women".

And equally obvious that the religion of the son is what matters for continuation of the faith.

Whoever drew the interpretation you've quoted has performed sleight of hand by ignoring half the verse.

Jewish faith is matrilineal these days, but used to be patrilineal as you can see by reading any chapter of the Old Testament.

Wikipedia: Patrilineal descent was observed by the ancient Israelites and is still observed by the Samaritans and in Karaite Judaism, which asserts that only the Hebrew Bible by itself—that is, disregarding the oral traditions of Rabbinic Judaism—is legally and religiously binding.

Rabbinical law seems to have changed this some time during the first 500 years AD. I've read a swift overview of the biblical justifications for this change, but honestly most are weak (relying on assumptions).

It's very possible that different tribes took different views on it at various times. There are certainly several occasions where a wife, whom we know is not Jewish, bears a son who is. An important example is Rehoboam, son of Solomon with Naamah.

This link may be more helpful. This website was referred to me by a Rabbi to get sources on their faith. As you may key in something else to get a different result. There seems to be some evidence there though.
"The Code of Jewish Law clearly states that a child of a Jewish mother is Jewish, regardless of the father’s lineage (or whatever else may show up in a DNA test), while the child of a non-Jewish mother is not Jewish.Matrilineal descent has been a fundamental principle of Torah since the Jewish people came into existence".

You said, and I quote : " Jesus said we should not be nit picky"

Where is it recorded that Jesus said that.

Your answer " It means pretty much the same thing, that we shoud aim to be constructive and not nit picky for the smallest of things legalistic and trivial. Jesus "emphasized grace, mercy, and focusing on major spiritual matters over trivial, legalistic disputes"."

That makes no sense. Means the same as what ?

Where is " Jesus said we should not be nit picky" in the Bible ?

He either said it, or did not. Which is it ?

No wonder Christians have had so many wars with each other when they can't even agree with themselves what the Bible says.

I am speaking about what can be assumed from what Jesus said. I will agree to disagree with this on this. I am not suggesting that Jesus said this word directly himself the word nit picky. My faith showed me someone holding a magnifying glass to their eye in a picture a good while before this was posted and for my life I could tell that they didn't like it and I try and steer away from this.

Key Aspects of Jesus' Teaching on Nitpicking:
The Log and the Speck (Matthew 7:1-5): Jesus warns that the standard of judgment used on others will be used in return. He calls those who focus on others' small flaws while ignoring their own large faults "hypocrites".
Weightier Matters (Matthew 23:23): Jesus criticized the Pharisees for being meticulous about tiny, insignificant legal details (like tithing herbs) while neglecting the more important aspects of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness.
Grace Over Judgment: Instead of "nitpicking" or legalistic fault-finding, the focus should be on loving others and showing grace, as highlighted by Paul in Romans 14.
Purpose of Correction: While addressing sin is not inherently bad, it should be done with self-reflection and love, rather than harsh condemnation.
Avoiding Unprofitable Disputes: The Bible encourages believers to avoid "foolish and ignorant disputes" and "quarrels about the law" that do not edify others.
Summary: Jesus' message is to prioritize self-examination and love over the harsh, petty criticism of others.

So in other words, he never said it.

And goodness me, what did Christians do before AI eh.

Do you not think it would be polite to say what is AI ? AI is notorious for making mistakes you know.

It can be implied from what Jesus said.
About AI, I read it and generally was in agreement so I posted it. Time can run fast online and I want to give more emphasis on things related to the topic of the thread. I know what AI is. If I was to research everything and write it for all the questions I would be parked here more than I needed to. You can discern a bit here.

It takes no time at all to write "I was wrong, Jesus did not say to nit pick".

So, this Melchizedek character.* *This immortal without parents and no genealogy. A god, or relation to God ?

A brother to Jesus, or an uncle ?

I knew that Jesus didn’t state those words directly when I wrote the nit picking. I knew it could be implied from what he said. May be I should have made that more clearer, I thought it would be easily understood by others.

The Bible doesn’t state that they were Jesus’ real brother or uncle and I do not know who they were beyond being a king and priest with no parents mentioned. There are a lot of guesses who he could be online, but the Bible doesn’t list who their parents was. This can be interpreted as a literary device (no record of his birth/death).

Hebrews 7
"Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually."

The bible is pretty clear, no parents and no genealogy. And immortal.

What can that mean ? It can't mean an orphan. God knows all.

"Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually."

Made like a son of God.

Do you @Justmerach consider yourself a child of God? Is God not your father ?

Genesis 1:27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Romans 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

So God made this Melchizedek to be like a son of God. That is human.

Therefore, he was not a human before.

By the way, when Jesus says he is a son of God, does that not apply to all males. Given that the Bible says God is the father ?

In the Christan faith, it is through Jesus Christ that Christians can consider themselves to be children of God.

(Ephesians 1:5)- "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.”

(Galatians 4:4-7)- "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.”

(John 1:12)- "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."

So there are 2 things from that then.

1 It is likely that Melchizedek was not human at first.

2 When Jesus says he is son of God, that does not specifically mean the only son of God.

Agree ?

I do not agree. I wrote that I know no more on Melchizedek and Jesus is God's only begetteon Son as we know in the Bible.

Does Jesus himself say he is the ONLY son of God ?

Yes he did. Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus in John 3 when he said this.

In the Gospel of John it also confirmed in the New Testament by Jesus that he was God's only Begeotteon beloved Son. (John 3:16 ) "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

God also confirms Jesus as his Beloved Son at his baptism and the Transfiguration (Matthew 3:16-17) (Matthew 17) "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him."
