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).

The point is that you have posted inaccuracies as fact - this is dishonest

I have not done so.

Quote : "The study of "looking for Bible errors" is a long-standing academic, theological, and critical endeavor, often referred to as biblical criticism or higher criticism. This field involves analysing the text for historical, scientific, and internal inconsistencies to understand its authorship, context, and composition."

Ok, given that experts have had 2k years, and you yourself are so well researched on the Bible :

Identify some Bible errors for us. Lets say 3. And explain why they are errors.

This is not what I do, I think that is what you what you do. I also do not address myself here as an expert or a minister either btw.

You can try though. As an experiment.

Or do you say there is not one single error in the Bible ?

I posted something earlier about this about scripture that may appear inconsisetent. I will paste it below. I don't like to view life like that mysellf looking out for errors. I like to stumble on something naturally and think if I need to if it draws my attention naturally. I dont set out though looking for errors. The Bible is the inspired word of God. Writing styles also may be affected by a writer.

"Because God is the perfect truth-teller, he cannot lie. Everything Scripture affirms is completely true. While Christians acknowledge this truth, we also understand that if you were to put the four Gospels side-by-side, you would find some surface-level incongruities. A perceptive reader might ask, “Well, what’s going on here? Did this happen this way or that way?”
But this seeming incongruity is what we’d expect of any historical retelling of an event by different eyewitnesses. Every eyewitness account will involve summarizing, partial reporting, paraphrasing, or rearranging of the material chronologically. In Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, we find exactly this type of eyewitness testimony".

So Genesis 30:37-39 is true ?

And there was a world flood ?

Just statements which are obviously not true

Sarah, at 90 years old, conceiving a child, virgin birth, parting the sea to allow the Israelites to escape, the sun and moon standing still, walking on water, feeding 5,000, and raising the dead.

As a thought, imagine a thread here:

" My father, who raped my mother, now wants to crucify me ? Should I disown him ?"

Imagine the replies.

Together with why would anyone think god was good and someone to worship - he promoted mass-murders, rapes, pillage, plunder, slavery, child abuse and killing, not to mention the killing of unborn children.

In a court of law, there would be a life sentence without parole. In certain US states, it would be the death penalty

This is what study calls as Bible errors, Contradictions in Narrative, numerical discrepancies, historical and scientific Inaccuracies and textual variants.
Historical and Scientific Inaccuracies: References to events or facts that seem to conflict with known archaeology or science, such as the timeline of the Babylonian exile or the nature of the creation narrative

..
The miracles in the Bible you do not believe them and btw I am not here to try and encourage to believe them. Although, you may not think it possible-this doesn't seem like an area of academic argument, but your own personal opinion. Academic argument seems to stop somewhere. They do not seem to argue that God cannot do miracles. Religion and freedom of this is enshrined in Article 18 of the UN declaration of Human rights. Do you go into other threads here on this board like the witchcraft thread?

The feeding of the 5,000 some people may see this as part symbolic or in other ways litreal or in other ways still. We discussed three of those things here briefly, the incarnation, the sun standing still and raising the dead. One may be a symbolic truth, the others are litreal in mind of those three we discussed.

I remember at 16 I met some youths and they said they going on a Christian outing. I had my faith already. I had read the Gospels for CGSE and excelled on that paper. Some friends was asking me as I have a good memory the scripture verses. Anyway, I was told this group was going to walk on water and believed it. There I went of thinking about it. I decided after to searching for my miracle. May be that motivated me. Anyway, I ended up being given a treasured gift not for this though, but for showing faith and I didn't get the height that I was praying for. I still think if only Jesus wants people to that they can walk on water.

Sarah she found it hard to believe she conceive a child herself, I think that God made this possible for her, especially and they adjusting to a shorter age span.
The world changed with sin. People used to live much longer in Genesis and then God the creator gave us a maxium of 120 years in the Bible.

Genesis 6;3
"And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years".

You really do make things up to fit your narrative! Are you so accepting of everything you read or are told?

Quote "Sarah she found it hard to believe she conceive a child herself,"

She was 90 years old, and had been pimped out by her husband to 2 different men so he could get camels and riches. Then he impregnated his slave.

What a great guy to learn morals from. Oh, and there was the sacrifice his son bit.

And yeah. "This is what study calls as Bible errors, Contradictions in Narrative, numerical discrepancies, historical and scientific Inaccuracies and textual variants."

So what is it ? God cant lie and the Bible is all true, or the Bible has errors ?

"God the creator gave us a maxium of 120 years in the Bible."

Well that was a lie. Jeannie Louise Calment, authenticated to live to 122 years and 164 days.

These are some very general arguments that I wrote to you and nothing that I made up myself there, but was taught or reflected and thought. Many others may share those thoughts. Not everybody who shares the same as faith believes in exactly the same thing. As I said to you, my faith has been confirmed to me and it is not the same thing as existing in the real world and I dont like though going round calling everyone dishonest.

Did you believe in Father Christmas and like the Lion witch and wardrobe growing up?

Enjoy your eggs if you get any at Easter.

Quote : " One may be a symbolic truth, the others are litreal in mind of those three we discussed."

What is a "symbolic truth"?

It was the feeding of the 5,000. I thought that some people may be saw this as a symbolic story in part and litreal as well. In looking into it more it seems to be most believed by people as a miracle that has a spiritual metaphor.

Of course as a child I believed in Father Christmas , it’s actually Sinterklaas for us and loved the Lion the witch and the wardrobe but as I grew up I knew they were make believe, in the same way as the bible stories - just stories, not real.
Unfortunately we don’t have Easter eggs where we live although the quality of the chocolate products is extremely good.

That's a word salad.

What is a symbolic truth ?

@Justmerach - my comments still stand. It’s the sort of mock trial schools do when they are learning about justice and how to argue for and against a point of view.

The reason I asked you if you believed in both of those things as with me, I didn't start enquiring into more about religion until about 15 when studying for my exams. I attended a faith school which I liked and attended mass and we prayed as a family at night some times.. My faith grew after 15 although I always believed.

I believed in Father Christmas then my mum stopped this and I liked the Lion witch and the wardrobe and used to go in the wardrobe looking. These things fell off may be that helped me to nurture the ability to belief in something. CS Lewis was also a Christian writer and Lion of Judah is Jesus in the Christian faith.

The faith and Bible stories are inspired by God though with a litreal or symbolic truths. They can also be his word like the 10 Commandments. I have seen that the faith is real unlike the untrue stories that we know in childhood not to be true

I wrote this some time ago and will share it here as it on this subject as well.

".Hi everyone, as a child I liked to watch after school the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis who was a Christian himself and his legend story had a Christian theme. I used to sometimes come home from school and go into my mum’s wardrobe to see the Lion. I loved it and the fiction character of Aslam, that big protective lion that you could go to have a secret discussion with and long for him and Narnia.

I later went to see this drama in the theatre in London a reproduction and I loved it and it brought so much good memories back. I still have the tape cassette on audio which I can listen to.

God though in a way with his spiritual gifts which are written about in (1 Corinthians 12) gave me my own Aslam with his gifts, protection was a central feature of the gift that God gave me. In a spiritual warfare God’s gifts do come on and protect-it has the protective attributes of an undefeatable lion as well. They are there to protect me which God said he would at just 17.

So, my own Aslam in the end. The Lion of Judah-which leads to reveal the face of Jesus Christ to appear at the end of the tribes, the tribe of Judah.

God in heaven gave me my own Aslam in the end and Narnia too almost because my Heaven now as me and Aslam prowl to go back.
My rector at church gave a sermon once about the Chronicles of Narni to and I wanted to add this what she said about this-

"They felt as a child watching the Chronicles Of Narnia a deep sense of home coming at the point where the children had reached Aslam’s kingdom. Aslam explains their confusion about the scattered timeline events that brought them here, at that point he utters the phrase to them all time are now."

The Holy Spirit gifts has many functions and one of them for some of us is protection and also the comforter which Jesus in John 14 said he would send us as believers to help support the church and us on our faith journey as Christians".

Quote : "The faith and Bible stories are inspired by God though with a litreal or symbolic truths."

You are using that term again. What does it mean ?

A symbolic truth is something that has a moral truth to the story, like Jesus' parables.Jesus often stated when he was speaking in parables.

The faith etc. are only inspired by God if your premise is that there is a God. Circular argument. Sorry, but it will never be more or other than that. You have made that leap of faith, it gives you strength and happiness and that's great. Other people derive strength and happiness through things other than faith and that's great too. There isn't a single right way to live life.

So did Aesop in the Fables. Humanity has used stories to pass on moral lessons since the advent of language.

There seems to be a dividing line somewhere between opinion and what is thought to be academic Bible critism and apolgetics defence and they do not seem to argue that all Bible miracles are impossible. I am not saying that people cannot have an opinion, but writing that all miracles is not possible does not appear to be sustained in academic debate as sound argument. Therefore, it is not may be logical to ascribe the errros label etc to it when it is not used in academic debate but is your opinion. It is also a faith covered by Article 18.

Some people may see the Bible age on the dot, or round about. However, I am surprised that person had a birth documented as I mentioned before I know people in their 70s who have no birth records and go on oral tradition and I mentioned this a few days ago probably.
