Did Jesus claim Divinity?

[Nadiine]

Your now giving up on your "mere man"????

I'm "giving up" on nothing, I want YOU to explain what you believe "only begotten Son" means. (and I stand by mere man in my question to you).
You keep claiming we're wrong, so explain what that term means to you - like exactly.

And I haven't seen your reply, do you have one or maybe you can show me which post # it is that I missed.

(I'd like to know the same Hentenza is asking)

 

[scriptures]

So, what IS Jesus? Is He a man or God?


What does divine mean to you?

Jesus is the only begotten son of God...

 

[Hentenza]

Jesus is the only begotten son of God...

And is the only begotten son of God man or God?

 

[scriptures]

And is the only begotten son of God man or God?

You don't have to add anything to the scriptures.... He is the only begotten son of God.... not part of trinity..... and you don' have to elevate him....

 

[Hentenza]

You don't have to add anything to the scriptures.... He is the only begotten son of God.... not part of trinity..... and you don' have to elevate him....

But you are not answering the question. I am not adding to scripture since scripture is clear about who Jesus is.

Can you or can you not answer the question? Is Jesus the only begotten son of God a man or God?

 

[Nadiine]

And is the only begotten son of God man or God?

I'd like them to define what they think "only begotten" means too.
They throw this "only begotten" term around, but do they know what it means?

Is it literal procreation from YWHY? What about "only begotten" makes Jesus so "unique" and "divine" - in what way?

 

[scriptures]

But you are not answering the question. I am not adding to scripture since scripture is clear about who Jesus is.

Can you or can you not answer the question? Is Jesus the only begotten son of God a man or God?

The answer is, Jesus is Christ (anointed one of God) the son of God... Jesus does not fall in any category you mentioned... He is simply the only begotten son of God..... Mat. 16:16....

 

[Hentenza]

So what does begotten mean to you?

Just get your dictionary my friend.....

 

[Hentenza]

Just get your dictionary my friend.....

Got mine. Do you have yours? What do YOU think "only begotten" mean?

 

[scriptures]

Got mine. Do you have yours? What do YOU think "only begotten" mean?

Of course I have mine....

 

[Gary51]

They throw this "only begotten" term around, but do they know what it means?

I know what it means...

The bible clearly states that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God...

Which means that the Father begat the Son, who is Jesus...

The father did not begat any more sons... So Jesus is the only begotten Son of God.

 

[Mathetes the kerux]

I know what it means...

The bible clearly states that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God...

Which means that the Father begat the Son, who is Jesus...

The father did not begat any more sons... So Jesus is the only begotten Son of God.

Nope . . . not what it means . . . take your Greek class

 

[Gary51]

Nope . . . not what it means . . . take your Greek class

Maybe you'd like to correct me, rather than making continuous tiresome remarks about Greek lessons.

Like I've said before, my Bible in written in English not Greek.

Now please correct me.

They can't correct you gary....

I noticed that they keep on dropping the "son" in their question..... It should be "only begotten son"....

 

[Hentenza]

Which means that the Father begat the Son, who is Jesus...

The father did not begat any more sons... So Jesus is the only begotten Son of God.

You still have not answered my question.

Can a mere man atone for all the sins of the world?

 

[Zebra1552]

Gary, tell us something, if you will. Which is more important- the truth and finding it, or picking apart the path to the truth and never getting there? It is a simple question and has no implication.

 

[Nadiine]

They can't correct you gary....

I noticed that they keep on dropping the "son" in their question..... It should be "only begotten son"....

YOU AREN'T DEFINING WHAT 'SON' OR 'ONLY BEGOTTEN' ARE.

All they do is throw a title around... title's mean very little when you can't define the position itself - or who holds it.

I can toss around any title, but it's useless unless you grasp the definitions. This is why people "sound" Christian when they use all the Christian jargon & buzzwords.
Get past that into definitions & you'll find they're complete opposites in what they mean & believe.

It isn't enough to toss out a title/name & then walk away when asked for the definition. SON OF GOD/only begotten....
what do they mean as to Jesus' being/entity??
WHO/WHAT is He??

He's born of a virgin... what is that? What does that make Him?
How is one HUMAN without a biological father & mother for procreation?

Again, tossing around titles doesn't explain anything - what do they mean to you literally by definition?

 

[Gary51]

You still have not answered my question.

Can a mere man atone for all the sins of the world?

NO... Over to you.

 

[Gary51]

They can't correct you gary....

Yeah... it's funny how Mathetes has not come back... I wonder if Nadine could step in for him...

Here is my answer again...

The bible clearly states that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God...

Which means that the Father begat the Son, who is Jesus...

The father did not begat any more sons... So Jesus is the only begotten Son of God.

Awaiting correction....

In plain understandable English please... as I have given.
