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 wasn't comparing my life to anybody. I wrote that my life is better with the promised comforter in my life and the gifts of the Holy Spirit and I can compare my life before this and after and my experience is positive by the will of God. I can also see how it helps me. It has done a lot in my life. That is what I am writing about. There is no need to invent another person in there when I am writing about myself and my experiences. It is you who led this reply.

I haven’t invented any other person - I was referring to me as you have referred to yourself. As I posted I can’t think of anyway my life would be better as a believer.

I understand, but it read to like you could take away as well that nobody's life could be different with the Christian faith or any faith if they had it or not. People to know a life may be before and everyone's experiences are not the same and they can write their before and after experiences which might be similar to a life without a faith or what happened when they was given the Holy Spiirt and matured in this. A faith is not meant to make you materially rich but love, comfort and protection I have been thankful for.

You live your life as you want to and that is your right to.

I didn’t mention material richness and I already have love, comfort and protection in my life.

I might see you all on the next God thread.

This author has got their take on the sun stood still that a forum member was asking. About.Bible criticism this is a study in itself and this is a forum and not for essays and peoples opinions of course will be discussed. A lot of labelling of things as errors, inaccurate and inconsistent seemed a bit all over the place and a bit self made. May be academic guidelines can be used as a framework to argue along. Some of them think it is not a good idea to argue that the tenets of the faith are errors etc..

This is about the sun stood still-

Two: Recognize that the Bible uses phenomenal language. The Bible often describes things the way they would appear to the writer from his perspective. When a writer uses such phenomenal language, what he writes should not be considered erroneous simply because it does not precisely match a scientific description of the facts. For example, in Joshua 10:12, we are told that the sun stood still so that Joshua would have more time to fight against his enemies. Of course, since we know that the earth revolves around the sun and not vice-versa, saying that the sun stood still is, strictly speaking, not what really happened. But, to an observer on the earth (e.g., the writer of Joshua), what really happened would have appeared to the eye as the sun standing still. That is, the human observer saw the sun stop moving across the sky. So, there is no error here as long as what the writer saw and described is what took place on that day. And it is always helpful to remind ourselves that we all use phenomenal language today without ascribing error to ourselves. For example, the weatherman tells us each night what time the sun will rise the next morning, but we don’t call him up and complain that he erroneously holds the view that the sun revolves around the earth.

That page itself this like two sources where it can be helped with argument both ways. It seems that when talking about somethings that was labelled as impossible they don't suggest doing some outright.

Irony is not dead then.

Then you talk about the earth standing still. Someone else essay, or AI.

Quote : " For example, the weatherman tells us each night what time the sun will rise the next morning, but we don’t call him up and complain that he erroneously holds the view that the sun revolves around the earth."

If this is the level of apologetics, then it needs to get out of nursery and into the grown up world. But yes, this is the level of apologetics.

One option missed out from the earth standing still bit : it's a lie. A made up fairy tale.

They seem to know the field.

Moving On.
I will post an edited version to take some personal things out. I wrote this and it has a got a fun supernatural spin on some of the miracles of Jesus and God the Father.

"Hi everyone, memories of my childhood and early youth give me pleasure at times. I am a child of the 70s and I liked to watch The Secret World of Alex Mack and Out of this World about Evie Ethel Garland in the 90s as a teenager and in my 20s. I was watching these tv series for fun-I was a Christian at that time. I liked to watch these supernatural sitcoms and dramas, knowing they was not the real thing. By that time I was also given one of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit that is mentioned in the Bible.

I went on the hunt at 16 as a Christian hoping for a miracle, but God gave me something for free in that place even more sensory special and not purchasable when I committed to him further.

Disney over to you- God’s power can do better-why not a movie or series on God and his majestic power and supernatural strength for this generation. Jesus appeared to have sensory ability to the touch and knew that someone for example had touched his clothes when they obtained healing from him. Jesus was not autistic though. Being discerning in the spirit I think allowed Jesus being able to hear the plans of evil/the Devil when they were near him and God recently gifted me this recent spiritual ability and gift as well-this is the Gift of Discerning spirits which can be found in the Book of Corinthians in the Bible (1 Corinthians 12).

In the Catholic tradition Jesus on the crucifix is also pictured sometimes with angelic beings around him on earth unseen to the unknowing eye. Jesus did though have his own angels which is mentioned in the book of Luke which ministered to him in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus could call on angels too if he chose to. In the Book of Matthew Jesus said- I can call on my Father and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels. Jesus was the Son of God on earth in a mortal body and was fully divine. There is a constant stream of energy in Heaven called the Divine Essence which he could draw on at any time if he wanted to. We to know this as the Holy Spirit.

Some of Jesus' miracles like healing being fully divine he could do on the spot, whilst his disciples needed to do praying and fasting to remove malevolent spirits. Some healing work was more involved than others, Jesus being the Son of God had divine ability, but perhaps too he could draw on the use of God's Divine Essence for the more involved healing at his command also. As Prophet Hosea told us angels can appear as humans to perform tasks for God and then transform back into their heavenly beings and fly upwards. This was the story of Jacob. In the feeding of the 5,000 angels to could easily have collected the fish from the sea and used fire to cook them. Angels could have also put temporary red dye in the Nile river in this miracle of God's or God could have done this himself.

I know a life before and after the administration of the Holy Spirit’s Gifts and the glimmer to another world

(2 Corinthians 4:18)

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

(Luke 10 :22-25) This is about the world of the Holy Spirit and how they can show you things of the invisible world.

" And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

(Psalm 104 ) This seems to be the Holy Spirit in depiction.

"Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain."

Why if I made a comment that something is incorrect, I’m wrong but none of your numerous copy and paste statements are? Just because it’s written in the Bible, it doesn’t mean it’s true. It’s a series of recollections of different people, not eyewitness testimony. As Queen Elizabeth said “recollections may vary “.
This is a Mn forum, you can post whatever you want unless it breaks forum guidelines.

Nearly at the end of the thread. Well I have to say it had its interesting moments, mainly thanks to a few consistent posters. However the constant referencing of the Bible as ‘evidence’ was tedious and prevented what could have been an enjoyable and productive discussion. I’m still not convinced about the deity of Jesus and tend towards the thinking that he was a superb and charismatic teacher. Sent by a God, possibly, jury’s out on that thought. Thanks for your thoughts and insights.

OP, I swore I wasn't going to come back to the thread, but the test, surely, isn't warm and fuzzy feelings about being 'given gifts of the Holy Spirit', or instances of healing, but your behaviour towards others.

If I met you in RL, would your behaviour towards other people in your daily life mark you out as more just, generous, charitable, peaceful, loving, patient, honest, forgiving, concerned with fighting for the rights of the vulnerable etc etc than someone with no religious beliefs?

If we go back to playing Bible Bingo, Mark reports Jesus as saying 'By their fruits you shall know them.'

I was thinking yesterday to myself that I was on a journey a bit like the wizard of Oz. At times as a child I was not found of some of the characters. However, God is to not fond of the job that wizards in the Bible do and he is not a wizard. However, I was thinking though that it was a bit like in life I was on a path to see him as God, and a like Dorothy to see a wizard" Were of to see the....the wonderful world of God..

I think the thread was quite neutral at times as this board is known for being hard to post Christian threads. There was a bit of agreement in discussion to respect each others views at times.

I like how Jesus descrbed the Bible in the Book of Revelations. Jesus described the Bible as the Book of Prophecy. The Bible has a lot of prophecy in it, and some things are written as prophecy and not for when some of the scripture was written.

(Revelation 22:19)
"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy,"

This is a discussionn about this subject. If we met in real life we wouldn't speak about this unless somehow it came up. I never wrote that anything was fuzzy. I am not like that. I wrote that Jesus gave us the promise of the promised comforter through the Holy Spirit which works as a working tool as well at times.

I have written about my experiences and that is how it has been for me and we can give an account of this. Someone wrote that life could not be different and I wrote how it has been for me.

I am described as gentle in real life, but I had be a bit firmer in here at times. I am not a preacher. I do write though at times. I do voluntary work in a hospital and meet different people some who have a faith and some who have none and they are treated all the same, we are all made in God' s image and the brotherhood of being human Article 1 of the UNDHR.

That isn't an answer. You keep focusing throughout this thread on what your experience of Christianity has done for you -- given you 'gifts', comforted you, healed you etc. That's what I mean by 'warm and fuzzy'.

I've never asked you about whether you were a preacher. I asked you about your everyday ethnics and behaviour. Are you generous, loving, fair, honest, forgiving to other people? Do you stand up for the rights of the vulnerable and the poor? That's the test.

There was a reason for mentioning about the Holy Spirit as that is how it shows that Jesus is with us today. He gives believers the Holy Spirit comforter. It was others who were asking for more evidence.

I am not here to write about all my life especially when it seemed at times not the place to write about this. It will go like this, someone will say the faith cannot be proven to be real. Then I will write I know it has been for me-I have had healing from it without asking etc for me and had it confirmed like others have had through the Holy Spirit.
I wasn't here to write all about the faith and yes it can be hard as well and there can be afflications and sorrows. The Holy Spiirt can help you to comfort you and to cope with this.

I was asked questions about the healing I had more than what I originally wrote about it. I felt a bit inspired to after reading about auto rescurrection. My everyday ethics are not wanting and nobody is perfect unlike Christ as well.

So, no, then. Someone encountering you in everyday life wouldn't identify you as a Christian because of your charitable, loving, honest, patient, selfless behaviour. Your dedication to your religion doesn't primarily involve holding yourself to higher standards. Surely that's the heart of your faith? Jesus specifically says in Mark 7 you will know Christians by their 'fruit'.

The poster is an AI fan for sure.

This is speaking about meeting a stranger outside, in the faith we are asked to respect others like we would want ourselves to be treated and people would get that from me. Not all conversations would invole the above a talk about the weather and the news. You don't know anything about my and views on holding yourself to a higher standard. I don't expect others to follow what I do in terms of piety. If I want to live a conscreated life I don't expect others to follow and neither tell people what to do.
We are living in the modern age which causes us to be discerning at times, but still respetful of others. I will show different things to the situation that needs it.

I have really mainly used AI for answering other peoples questions they could have got themselves to. I didn't use AI for the material that I posted originally. I have also linked to a number of academic sources.

I don’t think I posted anything requiring an answer - I posted my views and about inaccurate statements

With regards to the morality of a Christian v Atheist. Being a Christian doesn’t make you in any way a better person and vice versa.

I would say, in my opinion, that posting AI without making clear that it is, is dishonest. It's a form of plagiarism really.

There are many good people out there who do not have a faith, I agree with you there.

About Christian charity. Some police have advised my church no longer to give money to those who ask in the premises, but to give them a drink etc and directions. You can donate online and you do what you want to as well Some though like to think Christians are easy to manipulate and may try to. Ephesians tells us to be discerning as well today.

I am not looking for fruits in this thread if somebody was implying this..not you. I do though write on a blog and expect no reward, it is just nice to have written my story to turn up with it at the end.

Being here and starting this post in this section is totally of my normal things I do. Writing is blind you will not know if a person in Saudia Arabia, Oman, Russia or Syria has liked what they have read. Jesus did ask us to share what he has done for us with what he has given us if ways that are best to us. That is not what I tried to do here though. A few people I know have liked what I have written on my blog and that is fine for me. We just do our best and do what you feel driven by which will be different for everyone.

It was obvious when I posted AI, none of the sermons where AI.

Again, I'm not asking you about 'piety' or 'living a consecrated life' or expecting other people to follow or telling them what to do. You're refusing to say whether you actually take the ethical, behavioural dimension of a faith which you say is important to you seriously.

Yes, I do, I didn't feel I had to answer to that though. I am not here to speak about me to.
