why do christians refer to jesus as God and son of God at the same time. Fellow nairalanders i find this scenerio intreesting because some christains call him God while others say he is the son of God considering the fact that other prophets like adam was refered to as son of God in the bible.

Are you this silly? Do you have to insult before you pass your message across? Can you prove Gabriel dictated the quran to pedo mohammed? Can you prove mohammed travelled on a winged horse?

I stand on my grounds as earlier opined in one of my comments on the religious section. Modern day christaindom is the most confused of all religion, there seem to be a confusion on their deity. 'Jesus is Lord' as quoted in the bible. If Jesus is Lord, then where is the place of 'the father' because Lord means ownership and also the place of the holyghost as in the constellation of the concept of trinity. The trinity has no bases in the bible, it was a pagan doctrine that came in around 325 AD to cloud/subtitute the many gods of the then world power that seeminly adopted christianity as its official religion.
God is one, from the beginning; He came as mechiezedek, as the burning bush, He appeared to abraham in the planes of mamre, He came as fire by night and cloud by day to lead the isrealite, he came in different forms on earth but was still in heaven displaying His ominipotency. To redeem mankind, He came as Jesus christ (JESUS CHRIST MEANS; the self becoming God has become our saviour) . He was both man and God clothed in flesh (son) hence the dictum 'son of God' meaning temple or body of God.thats why He said in One scripture 'destroy this temple and in three days i will raise it up'(talking about his body).
In the book of revelation, the bible talks of one throne in heaven, the same lamb of God becoming the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
JESUS IS LORD, THE FIRST AND THE LAST, HE WHO WAS(SON:dEAD AND WAS RAISED), WHO IS (holyghost, God invisible) AND WHO IS TO COME(the coming judge and king)

hard truth.

My brother, many have brought a dent on the congregation founded by Christ at pentacost. so sad that this people bear the name christian, but they have disregarded the truth found in the bible and clone it with mystery. God of the bible is greater than Jesus, who is His son. God is his Father. Many have chosen to believe the lie. this situation is pathetic and we continue to appeal to their reason to see whether the honest hearted will turn around. It is our prayer that God will help many.

Best wishes!

If Believing This simple thing is hard for you,I wonder how You believed That God is Jesus' Father!! Doesn't it bring up the Question as to How Jesus came to be?How Jesus was created or concieved and who concieved Jesus in Heaven?
I alwaz wonder how u go about writing Things u dont know and cluelessly reeking in the ignorance of such glories!

Jesus is God and the Son of God. He is the only BEGOTTEN of the Father. I think the word 'Begotten' came to be when He was born on earth. Isaiah 9:6; John 10:30; John 14:9; John 1:10-11.

John 1:1-3;14
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

I Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the MYSTERY of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

You see azonto don start. read col. 1:15
With a mere human undastanding reasoning and undastanding,you can never undastand the passage u quoted...
COL1:15 "He is the Image of the Invisible God, the first born of all creation"..
..
Infact,no human on earth today can explain that passage fully,but i will tel u bit..
"In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God,and the Word was God" John1:1
..
'In the beginning' was the Word{Jesus Christ}.That is,at the source of the radiant light that gives form to rational creatures,and in the origin of its radiance,the Word Existed as the Perfect Word,Perfect in its Wordless potentiality. 'And this wordless Word was With God'..
John1:2 "He was in the Beginning with God"...Now how does A being{God} without a beginning has a beginning?
This hints at a distinction: the Word being with God..
When the bound word of The Persons'{Godhead} unity remained unuttered by the omnipotent intellect,then the Word,suspended in its Divine nature origin,transcended all words and names..When it was With God in the Providential light dawning devoid of the created universe,then God was revealed to the universe.{Col1:15 "He is the image of the invisible God........"}..
As soon as God Was ,he created the the heaven and the World,which brings about the passage: Col1:16 "For in him all things were created,in heaven and on earth,visible and invisible,whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities--all things were created through him and for him",the world being with God and distinct in name..
..
Whereas God in his motionless power was free from God and every name,God was the unspoken word in the bottomless abyss of His divine nature in which the Word as such never thoroughly understood itself..A thing that undastands itself grows and fades in the act of understanding,but this Word does not grow or fade..It is unchanging in itself,so it has never understood itself in itself,even though it is the intellect of the father!
Let me stop here,so as not to dismantle ur mind with the Mystic...The passage u quoted above can only be undastood in pure mysticism.....
I believe u dont even undastand that passage,thats why u quoted it.......Peace!

God sent his only begotten son. He has been begotten before being sent. In fact the submission doesnt make any sense. unless you have more to add.

As for the above bible quotations. None of them contradicts what I am saying.

I will only respond to that Timothy. Please remove "God" in that verse, and put "He" eg "he was manifest in the flesh".

Let me pretend you know the reason, until you admit you dont. Even if the word is there, it doesnt prove that Jesus is almighty God. why? he is a god, but not the Almighty God, and he is not the only one called god in the bible.

Jesus is a god. secondly, jews often refer to a representative of God almighty as God. this doesnt contradict my point either.

Jesus was a perfect representative of the invisible God. Jesus said no one has seen the God before. If he was that God, what sense would that word make?
