Subject: Does anyone have a good way to explain t |
Bible Note: You know Truthfinder, I wouldn't be so quick to draw comparrisons between Jehovah and Allah. It's to my understanding that Allah is a very impersonal god. He doesn't work in the lives of the individual. My God is very personal. He wants a relationship with me personally. The last time I checked, He was making claims to knowing the number of hairs on my head. The original question was, "What do the term 'Son of' means??" "How was this term applied in Jesus' day??" I don't think that you're going to find the answer in the Koran, so I'll tell you. The term 'Son of' was kinda like a figure of speech back in Jesus' day. It could mean the male child of a father, and on occasions that was how it was applied. But mostly the term was used in referrance to something with the exact same nature and quility. Think about it, when Jesus claimed to be the 'Son of' God. They knew that he wasn't so much claiming to be the male child of God, but He was making professions to having the exact same nature and quilities of God. He was proclaiming to BE God, that's why they tried to stone Him. Deffinitions for words today differ from the definitions for words two thousand years ago. Do the homework yourself, let me know what you come up with. The CurtMan |
