Son of his Father: The Heir and Prince
When YAHWEH GOD created mankind He did so making man an Image of Himself. And, indeed, for a long while that image, Adam, perfectly reflected his creator God and no sin was found in him.
But soon, corruption crept into the image by way of a rogue Angel who sought to be glorified by the man against the command of the creator God. And so the man now did not perfectly reflect his creator God.
Since this now corrupted image (I’ll say ‘Adam’ from now on) up till now had not procreated, all his offspring from then on inherited his image alongside the creator God image. This meant that Adam’s children all were very highly engendered sinning in opposition to the sinless creator God.
The creator God set about restoring His image in the children of Adam but most were so corrupted that they continued to reflect the ‘Father of the lie’ who corrupted Adam.
Over time, no one of mankind was found fully justified in his reflection - man came close but always faultered at some point. God highly praised these ones but still was ultimately displeased about something the individual did that was very sinful.
God had known there might be corruption of his man and his offspring throughout time so He had set a contingency promise in place: a restoration by ANOTHER PERFECT IMAGE.
In the fullness of time God saw that this promise should be fulfilled - and created ANOTHER MAN IN HIS IMAGE just as he had done with the first man: ‘This one will certainly do my Will… I will uphold him and give him powers (put My Spirit on him) after he shows he has remained sinless, righteous, and holy in accordance with my commands’ in other words, that this SECOND and LAST ADAM, will be a perfect reflection of his creator God.
And, indeed, we read about him, and believe in him, from the scriptures. He is the man: Jesus the Christ (The Christ of God, the suffering servant, the perfect image: the SON of God)
In the scriptures we must understand that ‘Father’ means ‘CREATOR’ and that ‘Son’ means ‘He who does the works of the Father… he who is the reflection of the Father’.
And thus this Jesus says to his disciples: ‘If you have seen me you have seen my Father (my creator… remember that Jess did not come by way of a procreation from a sinful Father and so he rightly attributed his ‘Father’ as the creator God)
Jesus is NOT his Father… he is a reflection of his Father. This means Jesus was ‘doing the works of the Father’ as he says several times in his life beginning rather prematurely when he was 12 years old: ‘Mother, did you not know that I must be about my Father’s business!!?’ And later to the Jews who falsely accused him of claiming Godship: ‘I did not call myself God - I said only that God is my Father… if I am not doing his works then do not believe me!’
There are other occasions when Jesus shows he is the perfect image of his creator God - fully carrying out the works of God to the extent that in the end Jesus prayed in the presence of his disciples ‘Father, it is done, I have given them the words you gave me to give to then and they have received them….’ And ‘The words you hear me speak are it mine but from HIM who sent me!’
This is incredible perfection from man’s point of view: Jesus, always credited the Father God with all the things of a miraculous nature that he carried out, including the all the wise words of truth that raked against the corrupt nature of those he was sent to bring back to Sonship to God.
There is more but since this is for debate I leave open the inbetweenies for you to comment.
Thank you.
