Is Jesus The Son Of God?
The phrase “Son of God” is used in the Bible only about six
times. It is an innocent phrase that meant “righteous man,” as in
Romans 8:14: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they
are the sons of God.” By this analogy, it will not constitute that
such people are the biological sons of God.
In Luke 22:70, the enemies of Jesus attached divine
significance to the phrase and asked him bluntly: “Art thou then
the Son of God?” This was the golden opportunity for Jesus to
confirm his divinity, but instead of doing so, “He said unto them,
‘Ye say that I am.’” It was as if to say, “I never claimed that.”
If Jesus was the son of God then, where was his father at the
time of weeping and at the time of his crucifixion? With all the
power of God, who created the entire universe, would He let His
son suffer from Roman Jewish soldiers without doing anything to
save him from the harm of the Jews? How could it ever happen
that God would not listen to the weeping and praying of His own
son, Jesus, when he was hiding on the night of his arrest or when
he was carrying his cross across the town, humiliated by the
Jewish solders, who were whipping him on his back while he was
bleeding from the thorns placed over his head. They were driving
the nails into his hands and legs while he was alive. During this
entire time, Jesus kept saying, “God, why have you forsaken me?
They don’t know what they are doing to me. I am seeking Your
help and forgiveness for them.”
Some Christian clergy say that Jesus died for our sins and that
he is the Lamb of God. He was created to be slaughtered to save
us; in other words, he is our savior. If this is the case, then why
was Jesus hiding on the night of his arrest? Why was he weeping,
crying, asking God to rescue him, and praying to God to “let this
cup pass by... why have You forsaken me?” If the clergy theory
is correct, Jesus should have been so happy that night that he
would have gone to the place of his crucifixion happily as a hero
because he would be on his way to save humanity and rescue the
sinful people from punishment. He would have been so happy that
he was fulfilling his mission, but his actions that night contradict
this. It is, thus, a baseless analysis by the clergy that he died for
our sins.
Obviously, if Jesus was God or the son of God, none of this
would have taken place, because if he was the son of God, God
would have never let the Jewish solders harm His son. Some
people say Jesus died for our sins, but God can just forgive our
sins without torturing His son, especially as the Bible states that
Jesus is His only begotten son. It is way beyond any human
comprehension that God would let His only son suffer, get
tortured, and be killed to forgive other people’s sins. This would
be blasphemous to God and His great characters, especially as
God said in Ezekiel 18:32 “that the Lord takes no pleasure in the
death of those who dieth”.
The second possibility is that, if Jesus was God, he would do
as God did before in the Bible. God cast a spell on some Jewish
people by turning them into pigs and monkeys or, like what God
did to the prophet Lot’s wife, and turned her into a pillar of salt.
The most obvious and simple thing to have done, if Jesus was
God, would be to never create these people to begin with, because
He knew they would harm him, and God knows everything that
exists now and what is going to happen in the future. Therefore,
God would never create these Jewish people, who are going to
harm him from the beginning. We all know God is knowledgeable
about His universe and that He created and controls the present
and the future. Knowing this fact and the capability of God, this
type of reasoning by some Christian scholars is obviously wrong.
And, obviously, Jesus was not God because he was praying
and weeping that night, asking God to “let this cup pass by”. Jesus
asked God, “Why have you forsaken me?” If he was God, this
question would not be needed at all, because God can’t ask
Himself this type of question. How can God ask Himself to help
Himself? People ask God for assistance, and He provides it. So,
does Jesus’ question imply that there is a destitute God who needs
help? Then why do we even consider him to be God and expect
him to help us? God is not going to ask Himself to assist Himself.
Or is He going to ask another God above Him? That means there
is a God who has all the authority and power, and He is impotent
and has no authority. This means that Jesus is seeking assistance
from another God who has the power and is capable of applying
His power to help Jesus. As such, Jesus cannot help himself; in
other words, if we need help, why do we even ask Jesus, who can’t
help himself and has no power or authority? Why don’t we just go
to God, who is able to help Jesus and who created him? This will
be the real God. Why do we depend and rely on someone who
can’t help himself, someone who is seeking power and assistance
from the real God?
Therefore, let’s just worship the superior God directly, the
One who was providing assistance to Jesus on the night of his
arrest and the day of his crucifixion. By the words and actions of
Jesus, by what all the prophets said, and by what all the verses in
the Bible state, God is One, and He is the only God. He is the
Creator of all things, the One who created Adam and Eve
thousands of years before the creation of Jesus’ mother and before
the birth of Jesus. Then why do we have to worship someone who
has been created by the Creator and ignore the Creator Himself
(God)?
If Jesus is God why he is not existed at the time of the creation
of the universe, the universe is age according to the facts provided
today by all Scientists is 15 billion years, and the Jesus born and
died 2013 years ago, then his existence was not important of the
creation of the universe, nor to the functions of the solar systems
all that time, he was not existing before Adam, Eve, Noah,Abraham,
Solomon, King David, and or his mother Mary, he was
not the cause of their creation either.
All scriptures in the Old and New Testaments say God is One
and the only One. Jesus is the messenger sent by the same God as
described in the Bible over 64 times.
