Bible Question:
The Muslim missionaires said to me Is it not strange that the one concerned, i.e Jesus certifies that he is the son of man, but his followes refuse his certificate and claim that he is the son of God?! He says "I am the son of mna," but they say, "No you are the so of God" whhy did Jesus repeat that he is the son of man many times in the gospels?! Of course, everyman on the earth is the son of man. So why did Jesus repeat it unexpectedly?! To negate what his contemporaries may falsely think him to be or what future followers may imagine him to be. He wanted to strongly negate his sonship to God. Nevertheless, his negation was unfortunately not heart. His later followers promoted him fron a son of man to a son of God. |
Bible Answer: Jesus claimed that He existed before Abraham, and He claimed that He is the 'I AM'. He demonstrated all the attributes of divintiy, He excepted worship AS God, which even the Angels did not do. He did not negate his sonship wih God but repeatedly refered to Himself as the Son and to God as His Father. It was on Peter's statement of His Sonship that He would build His church. Who ever told you that Jesus never claimed to be the Son of God has either never read the Gospels or is deliberatly lieing to you. |
