from previous post –
In fact, Jesus’
statements about himself contradict the notion that he was simply a
great man or a prophet. On more than one occasion, Jesus referred to
himself as God’s Son. This also means he meant by that all humans
are sons of God! When asked whether he thought it far-fetched for
Jesus to be the Son of God, Some critics say,
“No, it’s not
far-fetched to me. Look, the secular response to the Christ story
always goes like this: He was a great thinker because he never
proposed any new religion during his teachings. He always wanted that
Jews improve their approach to God! It was after his passing out of
that region, that some smart people like Paul and Peter using his
name, established new order of religion opposite Judaism.
Obviously,
a very interesting person, had a lot to say along the lines of other
great prophets, But actually Christ doesn’t allow you that. He
doesn’t let you off the hook. Christ says, No. I’m not saying I’m
a teacher, don’t call me a teacher. I’m not saying I’m a
prophet….I’m saying I’m God incarnate.” And people say: No,
no, please, just be a prophet. A prophet we can take.” This
modification is most likely introduced by later priesthood and that
to help them make easy to open a new religion. putting many says in
His mouth so that they can comfortably establish a new faith in his
name and profit by it!
Today we may call
him by our modern style that he was another thinker and wanted to
enlighten the masses by his vision. Before we examine Jesus’
claims, it is important to understand that he made them in the
context of the Jewish belief in one God (monotheism). No faithful Jew
would ever believe in more than one God. And Jesus believed in the
one God, praying to his Father as, “the only true God.” That
means clearly he was calling God as his Father or Father for all
people.
But in that same
prayer, Jesus spoke of having always existed with his Father. And
when Philip asked Jesus to show them the Father, Jesus said, “Philip,
have I been with you so long and you don’t know me? Whoever has
seen me, has seen the Father.” So the question is: “Was Jesus
claiming to be the Hebrew God who created the universe?”
