What is meant by the Only Begotten Son of God?

[1to3]

I agree with scripture.

 

I understand Christ Jesus as being the only way to get to God through His blood sacrifice on the cross for mankind.

 

No other creation of God could do this but what is directly part of God.

 

To me Christ is an extension of God

that came to the earth,

lived and experienced things like us humans

yet His blood was untainted from paradise lost.

Because His blood was untainted, He never sinned,

God cannot sin, God is Light

He blood is the only type that can bring, heal, salvage us to re-gain life once again in union with Gods pure Light & Life.

 

The blood of Christ Jesus is the only untainted blood that can cover and wash away our sins to make us acceptable to come back to God.

 

No other type blood can do that but the blood coming directly from God to man through His only way: Christ Jesus.

Christ Jesus the part of God that came down to earth.

Christ Jesus is the only One that is part of God. No  angel or other created being from God can take the place of God who is and always will be.

 

God, Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit are ONE, they are part of God that have unique roles in taking care and communicating with Life.

Shalom, 1to3.

Well, I’d be willing to bet that we ALL think we are agreeing with Scripture.

 

However, something unique happened when Yeshua` was formed from the Word. The infinite became the finite. He took on a BODY and as such restricted Himself to a particular, limited location in 3-D space and time. He IS the heir of David’s Throne, the King-Apparent of the Kingdom of Israel, which David acknowledged was GOD’S Kingdom. That’s what “Christ Jesus” means; He is the Messiah Yeshua` the one Anointed by God, especially Selected by God, to be God’s physical Representative to mankind.

 

We talk about GPS (Global Positioning System) devices today; however, if there was such a thing as a UPS (Universal Positioning System) device, He would now have an exact location in the Universe that could be thus described by such a system. And, He TOLD us where He would be: He said that He would be in the "Paradeisos of God,” (Luke 23:43) a Greek word from the Hebrew “Pardeec,” both meaning a “PARK of trees!” He also told us that He would be preparing us a place in His Father’s House, (John 14:1-2) a house like Avraham’s house:

 

Hebrews 11:8-10

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles (Greek: skeenais) with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

KJV

 

The author of Hebrews was referring in verse 10 to the fact that THIS was the first occurrence (Gen. 15:2) of God’s title, “Adonay,” which means “my (most high) Lord/One who lays the foundation of a city.” (Notice the lower case letters following the first capital letter in “Lord.")

 

OT:136 'Adonay (ad-o-noy'); am emphatic form of OT:113; the Lord (used as a proper name of God only):

KJV - (my) Lord.

 

OT:113 'adown (aw-done'); or (shortened) 'adon (aw-done'); from an unused root (meaning to rule); sovereign, i.e. controller (human or divine):

KJV - lord, master, owner. Compare also names beginning with "Adoni-".

 

OT:134 'eden (eh'-den); from the same as OT:113 (in the sense of strength); a basis (of a building, a column, etc.):

KJV - foundation, socket.

He dwelt in TABERNACLES or TENTS (Greek: skeenais) with Yitschaq and Ya`aqov. That’s what verse 10 means: He was looking for an ADOWN (a foundation-layer) of a city that had foundations (Greek: themelioi)! We find these words again in Revelation 21:

 

Revelation 21:1-3, 14-20

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God (Greek: skeenee tou Theou) is with men, and he will dwell (Greek: skeenoosei) with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

...

14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations (Greek: themelioi), and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19 And the foundations (Greek: themelioi) of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

KJV

 

And, we are told that this is the Paradeisos of God or at least where the Paradeisos is located:

 

Revelation 2:7

7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

KJV

 

Revelation 22:2

2 In the midst of the street of it (the city, New Jerusalem), and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

KJV

Jesus is not a part of God.   Jesus IS God.   The Father is God; Jesus is God; the Holy Spirit is God.   They are not three parts; they are three persons, one God.

While we may not agree on some things, there are others we absolutely agree on, such as this.

Sorry, but the Scriptures do NOT say that “Jesus IS God.” THEOLOGY says that. The Scriptures call Him “the SON of God” and more often “the Son of MAN!" Also, there’s Scriptural evidence that suggests that the Ruach haQodesh (the Holy Spirit) and the Father are the SAME PERSON! Is theology greater than the Scriptures?

[Guest shiloh357]

Sorry Retro,  but that is heresy.

 

The deity of Jesus is affirmed in Isa. 9:6-7.   It affirmed by Jesus himself.    The term Son of God is understood hebraically to be a clear reference to deity.   Son of Man is a messianic reference based on Dan. 7: 13-14.

 

Jesus refers to God the Father as His father in John 5 and he was accused of blasphemy for saying so.   Jesus' enemies understood Jesus to be claiming deity and Jesus not did not correct their perception, but he doubled down on that claim affirming that He was equal with the Father in authority over the Sabbath, had the power to grant eternal life and was equal with the Father in the authority to Judge.

 

Jesus calls himself God in the book of Revelation when He says that He is the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.    Is. 41:4, 44:6 and 48:12 describe God by the same terminology.   Jesus is God.

 

God is the Creator in Gen. 1:1.   Jesus is God the creator in John 1:1-3, Col. 1:15-18 and Heb. 1:1-3.  

 

Only God can impart eternal life.   Jesus claims to have the power to grant eternal life in John 5, John 6, John 11 and Paul proclaims that eternal life comes through Jesus in Rom. 6:23.

 

If you say that the Bible doesn't call Jesus God, you are a liar, you are calling God the Father a liar and you are calling Jesus a liar.   Those who reject the biblical truth that Jesus was/is God are not genuine followers of Jesus.  They are liars and deceivers;  the tares among the wheat, the wolves among the sheep.
