Mark     13  :  32    But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only Father

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven”   (Matthew 7:21)

“And the Father himself, which hath sent me, bore witness of Me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape”   (John 5:37)

“ Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish His work”  (John 4:34)

2. God says ' Jesus is my Son' So does we Christians call him ....... !!

Mathew 3:17   And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased . Christians cite this verse as the basis for their belief that Jesus is the " Son of God". But they fail to consider other verses which refer to so many others too as the son of God.

 

To Israel -  ---  " Israel is my Son, My first born"  ( Exodus 4:22)

To David  - ---  " You are My son, Today I have begotten you"   ( Psalm 2:7)

To Solomon -- " He (Solomon) shall be my son and I will be his father"  (1 Chronicles 22:10)

To   Samuel -- " I will be his( Samuel's) Father and he shall be my Son" ( 2 Samuel 7:14)

To Solomon -- " He (Solomon) shall be my son and I will be his father"   (1 Chronicles 22:10).

 

Note:  Thus ,Some particular persons have been described as "Sons of God" in the Bible .When there are so many 'Sons of god' , to say that Jesus  lone is the 'Son of God' is to contradict the teaching of  the Bible. not only some some persons are called the 'Son of God' but all men have been said to be the 'Son of God' in the Bible.

 

Deuteronomy   14 : 1    You are the Children of the LORD your God 

Mathew              5 : 9    Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called 'Sons of God

Mathew            23 : 9    Do not call anyone on earth  your Father; for One is your father; He who is in heaven

 

Note: Any body  who ponders over this, cannot assert that the word" father" has been used in the conventional sense of the word. If it does  convey the conventional sense, nobody under the sun call his own father who begot him as father as per this verse  of  the Bible. Will  the Christians who are ordained in the bible" not to call any one on earth as father", refrain from mentioning in such records the names of their fathers who begot them and mention the one who is in heaven ?no doubt the Christian have to mention the name of their fathers who begot them. .Do they transgress the commandment of the bible? No. They will definitely  conclude that the word  father has been used  to  mean' God  .

If the word father means creator then correspondingly the word ' Son' cannot be mean "The created " , So also when father means 'God'; 'Son' could  mean only 'Slave'.

The belief of the Christians that Jesus is God since he has been referred to as "Son of God" in the Bible, is a great  absurdity. So says the Bible, the Christians so reverently hold and read

 

God's  Says 

 

Exodus            20: 2-3    I am the Lord your God ......... You should have no other gods before Me

Deuteronomy   4: 35      .....the Lord  Himself is God; there is none other besides him

Deuteronomy   6: 4        Hear O Israel! The Lord our God ; the Lord is one

1 Timothy         1: 17      Now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible , to God who alone is wise be honor and glory for ever. Amen

John                17 : 3-4    And Jesus is eternal life that they may know you the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I  have glorified you on earth .I have finished the work  you have given me

  The very same Jesus Christ whom Christians believe and worship as god has said , " I am not God ". This is in an unambiguous statement  by Jesus himself. By the words " the only true God " he asserts that he is not  God." Jesus Christ whom you have sent". so saying he affirms that he was only a prophet. The utterance  " I have finished the work you have given me to do " goes to mean that he is duty bound to obey the ordainments of God. And by the words " I  have finished " he ascertains that the task entrusted with him has been carried out accordingly

 

John     20:17     But go to my brethren and say to them , I am ascending to My Father and your Father and to my God and your God 


 

3 Jesus always called himself 'Son of Man'  

                                                                                                                                 

Mathew 8:20     .......Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head

Mathew 9:6       you may know that Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins then ......." 

Mathew 16:27   For the  Son of Man will come  in the glory of his father with ............" 

 you can find more on (Mathew 16:13 / 17:22 /  17:9 / 19:28 / 20:18 /  20: 28 / 26:24 / 26: 64 and 26: 45). All the above verses Jesus referred to his own self as   ' Son of Man'.

 

Cross Question :

  If Jesus is actually the 'Son of God ' with Godhead, why does he refer to his own self as' Son of Man' ?

If  'Son of God' is elucidated t mean one who is in  total obedience to God, a righteous man surrendering himself t the will of God, it will definitely be in accordance with the verses of  the Bible.

 

 


4 " I and My Father are One " . ( John 10 : 30)

 

The Father And I am  not different. I am the Father; the father is me, both have merged, one with in the other, Is this the meaning ? Like other phrases (Son of God) Christians misunderstood  this phrases.

 

John 14:20     At that day you will know that I am in my father and you in me and I in you

Cross Question : 

Why do the  Christians who have misunderstood the saying of Jesus " I am in my father " to mean " Jesus and the father are one and the same "; Fail to understand the saying of Jesus " you are in  me and I am in you "  in the same vain ?

Man kind is Jesus; Jesus is mankind. IF Jesus is mankind; then it means that mankind's the father -God. Thus wrong notation of the Christians not only makes Jesus God, but also makes the mankind God. Why is this blunder not realized by the Christians ?

 

Listen to Jesus saying which is more clear 
" that they all may be one, as you, father , are in Me and I am in you; that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe  that you sent me" (John 17:21)

If the entire mankind is God what is the specialty in Jesus  ? When mankind itself is God how can their worship of any one other than their own self, could be justified? 

It is Universally common to say about two intimate friends to have become one. Nobody would take this to mean that they have become one person and one has merged into other. On the other hand they will take it to mean only that the two are so intimately close.

 

 Bible itself gives room to understand it in this way

Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh

Mark 10: 7-8  Fore this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. 'And the two shall become one flesh', so then they are no longer two , but one flesh 

 

Cross Question :

  just by saying that the husband and wife shall become one flesh, will they be considered to be one and the same person ?

 


 

5  " I am the WAY and TRUTH ". (John 14 : 6-9)

 

        This cannot be taken to prove his son ship. because during  Jesus time he (Jesus) is the truth and the way.; like wise during the prophet Moses time he (Moses) is the truth and the way; so does during prophet Muhammad's time he (Holy Prophet Muhammad) is the truth and way.
