Most of us Christians believe we are children of God:The Truth said:Firstly, How many son does God has?
Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
To most of us, this means we are "born again" of God... not "begotten" by God as Jesus was:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
Yes He does:The Truth said:Secondly, Jesus never claim to be the son of God but the son of man.
John 11:3 Then his sisters sent to Him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.
The angel told Mary that the Son of God would be born to her:J4 When Jesus heard, He said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God might be glorified by it.
Luke 1:34 Then Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I do not know a man?
35 And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come on you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you. Therefore also that Holy One which will be born of you shall be called Son of God.
He doesn't deny that He is the Son of God:35 And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come on you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you. Therefore also that Holy One which will be born of you shall be called Son of God.
John 1:48 Nathanael said to Him, From where do You know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.
And He even achnowledged it when asked:
Luke 22:70 And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? And He said to them, You say it, because I AM!
And when He died, even the Roman army officer (centurion) aknowledged it:
Mark 15:39 And when the centurion, who stood across from him, saw that He cried out so, and expired, he said, Truly this man was Son of God.
I don't need to 'prove' my faith as my faith is between God and me. I will however, argue my beliefs without having any need to 'win' or 'lose' ... I just state them. Though I know that like faith, the beliefs of myself or others cannot be proved or disproved ... they are as individual and varied as the genetic codes that make up each one of us ... I am the only one who can know my beliefs. However, in doing the research to 'argue' them, I tend to confirm both my beliefs AND my faithThe Truth said:Finally, you can't prove your faith by disproving others or otherwise, you may lose the argument quickly.
