Even demons believe he is the son of God

Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah…

He is the Word of Life

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life. And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.…

He was sent to us

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

The firstborn of all creation and all things created through him

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

He is back from whence he came

And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

Here is the timeline

I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”

Here is the promise

The Word of God who was with God in the beginning became flesh. He became on of us so we could be like him.

But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God and we are sons of God

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. 10 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

    Hi not3,
    Is 53 does not describe glory.


    Jesus has glory as the begotten Son of God! He has to be born before he can receive that glory.

    Hi not3,
    ' begotten ' is not closely related to monogenes.
    John and Peter saw the glory of the monogenes Son on the mountain, the glory that he had had with the Father and wanted to have again.

    Are you sure?  

    Could it be that God glorified him temporarily (because the glory obviously faded) so that he could be in the same realm as Mo and Eli?  There are other explainations, aren't there?  To assume that the glory shown when he was transfigured was the glory he had “underneath” the flesh – well – that is reading into scripture what you hope is there, imho.  For no where else is Jesus ascribed any other glory than that of the only begotten Son.

    Let's just say for the sake of things that this glory was the glory of a preexistent spirit Son who had been sent to earth – and Peter was an eyewitness to it – why didn't Peter preach about this?  Peter says they heard the voice (of God) regarding Jesus and that is his emphasis – not the glory that was revealed.  I find that curious if this glory was to be a peak at who Jesus really was underneath it all – you would think that would become Peter's main thrust and message – who Jesus “really” was.

    Hi not3
    Jn17
    “1These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

    2As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

    3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

    4I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

    5And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I HAD with thee before the world was.”

    Maybe?

    :laugh:

    I'm kidding.

    Well, I'm sure it was revealed to Jesus. I'm sure they said something like, “Jesus it's me, Eli and Mo is with me – don't freak out. We're here to encourage you brother! If you quit now and don't go to the cross…..all will be lost! We believe in you.”

    Hi M,
    You wrote in another thread
    Hi not3in1,
    It may be interesting to understand the Hebrew perspective on the word Father. In the Hebrew language a name is not a identifier. In otherwords “father” is not a proper name. This concept is foreign to the Hebrew mind. To the Hebrew the term “father” literally means “one who gives strength to the family”. A name is a character trait to the Hebrews. For example; King David wuld be translated to the western mind as king = title and david = personal name. To the Hebrew it would mean King = one whio rules and David = one who is loved.. When A Hebrew reads King David they literally think one who rules and is loved.
    When a Hebrew reads “father” they think the one who gives strength to the family.

    The Father has infused his own spirit into his only begotten Son.

    The Father has not incarnated himself into his only begotten Son (so as to make the Son turn into God the Son. Right?

    Hi Nick:

    I understand that you are saying this because Isaiah 53 describes his suffering, but what makes him the glorious Son of God is that he obeyed God without sin even unto death on the cross so that whosoever chooses to be reconciled to God may do so.

    Hebrews 1:8
    But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
    1:9
    THOU HAST LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND HATED INIQUITY; THEREFORE * * God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

    Phil 2:8
    And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
    2:9
    Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

    God Bless

    Hi 94,
    Is 53 describes the man Jesus as seen by men before his anointing with the power and nature of God by the Spirit.

    ” 1Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

    2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

    3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”

    You missed the first part of Phil2.
    He was
    before he came
    and he was found
    in fashion as a man.

    Hi not3,
    What does son of God mean to you?
    Since Jesus was conceived does it really mean ” son of God and Mary”
    I think he was truly the son of God alone-monogenes.

    Yes it does mean Son of God and Mary.

    Son of God and Son of Man.

    Nick, I'm uncertain as to the point you are making?

    I agree with what you have written.

    Ps 2 is prophetic. If you don't believe it is prophetic, what are your reasons for believing otherwise?

    Hi Not3,
    We should not presume to be prophetic what may have happened.

    #55868

    “…may have happened.” ?

    Well, most of what is written in the Psalms is prophetic.  Even parts of the Psalm you are referring to are prophetic.  So, I'm only going by what seems logical.

    However, I am open to seeing this truth if it can be clearly taught in scripture without the deducing and deducting like the Trinity teachings.
