Who is speaking in this passage:

7I will proclaim the decree

spoken to Me by the LORD:

“You are My Son;

today I have become Your Father.

Was that spoken in the New Testament or the Old Testament?

Please answer both of those questions Gene.

Blessings, LU

Gene,

Who is speaking in this passage:

7I will proclaim the decree

spoken to Me by the LORD:

“You are My Son;

today I have become Your Father.c

8Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance,

the ends of the earth Your possession.

9You will break themd with an iron scepter;

You will shatter them like pottery.”

You asked:

So who is the first type then? The first Son?

Adam is the first son that human sons are modeled after.

Thank you Carmel and Proclaimer. Surgery was a success, I’m thankful that it is over. Now to help him recover. It is amazing what they can do now medically. I’m so grateful for medical personnel!! Last year I had the blockage, 90%, and just needed a stent put in. It made a world of difference.

Blessings, LU

Happy New Year to you all! I’m ending 2022 in the hospital with my husband who will be having a quadruple bypass in a few hours. 2023 is going to start with a 4 month recovery. Two days ago we didn’t know this would be the plan. Thanks to  the LORD for making us aware of 95% and 70% blockage in dangerous places! Trusting our Father and His Only…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Thank you for your answer. Please answer this now that you have had more time to think about it:

I hypothesize that the Father is interdependent with the Son in being the one true God, not independent from the Son in being the one true God.

Do you agree Berean?

You’re welcome Miia.

Have a great 2023!

Peace, LU

Hi Carmel,

I believe that Jesus was born of Mary even though He pre-existed as one born of God before creation. I believe that Jesus was born in the flesh and given to us.

Gene,

God is united to His Son, they do the God stuff together. The Father sees Him and His Son as one God in the fullest sense who is both God of gods and Lord of lords named Yahweh. Two different persons acting as one, interdependently to do the God stuff. They are God alone, no one besides them.

Proclaimer,

You said:

But I would like to add that the whole reason for creation is because of the Son. God created all things through him and for him. Further, God’s redemptive plan from the foundation of the world is also through him as you rightly point out.

We are offered to be born from above and become Sons. Our existence is tied up in T…

I can’t provide a source for prototype as I wrongly assumed it was rooted in the word for firstborn despite both having the same root ‘proto’.

That said, I stll believe that he is the prototype. He is the ‘first type’, that is, the first Son. Those born from above will be like him. The same type of being. The original…

Berean,

Yes, we are making progress 🙂

The Son has accepted that everything be given into his hands for the creation of the universe, for the plan of redemption and for judgment.
THE SON IS WORTHY OF ALL THESE TITLES MENTIONED IN ISAIAH
For a child is born to us, a son is given to us, and dominion will rest on his shoulder, and he will…

Gene,

Jesus said that we are to know two persons to have eternal life, one is the Father and the other is the Son. Please don’t pretend that Jesus isn’t the elohim who is our one Lord.

You said:

WHY, may I ask:

unto to us, a Son IS GIVEN?

WHY NOT, UNTO US A SON IS BORN?

It’s both.

Gene,

You said:

God made “all” mankind in his “image”…

Mankind is made in their image.

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:…

Jesus is the image of the invisible God, singular…you are not.

Mankind is made in their image, plural.

Merry Christmas Mia and everyone. Unto to us a Son is given!

Proclaimer,

I think people would say that they love the truth and truly think they do but are actually very deceived and can not see the truth. They lean on their own limited understanding and their lack of understanding. There is overwhelming evidence for a globe earth yet they believe it is a massive conspiracy which is majorly insulting the…[Read more]

Berean,

You said:

The Father and the Son HAVE WORKED AND WORK TOGETHER.
BUT THAT DOES NOT REMOVE THAT THE FATHER ONLY IS THE ONE TRUE GOD. ALL HONORS GO TO HIM FIRST.

The question is in the OP as to whether or not the Father does the God stuff interdependently with the Son or independently of the Son. You admit that they work together. That is in…[Read more]

Gene,

You asked:

please tell us how is a God “begotten”?

He is born of His Father, the invisible God who He is an image of.

Col 1  15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or aut…[Read more]
