Did God ever say that Jesus is his Son?
Hello all.
The other day, I promised to give ‘The Big Dog’ $20.00 if he can find me even one passage in the Bible where God says that Jesus is his son.
He responded with a quote from Matthew 3:17 which states:
As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him. And a voice from heaven, or voice from a cloud, or a voice of Majestic Glory, or a voice from the sky (depending upon the translation) said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”
Which is a very interesting quote since no matter what translation is used, it always avoids saying that it was the voice in question was the voice of God itself, therefore it does not meet the standards that I have set. After all, considering that it was always clear in other sections of the Bible when God was talking “do not eat the from this tree”, “build an ark of gopherwood”, do not look at the destruction of these two cities, God said thus and so to Moses, and so on, then one should expect similar clarity from the Bible regarding the patronage of Jesus.
As for myself, I have looked through the Bible for such data for a number of years to find anywhere where God claims that Jesus is his son, and I have been unable to find any such data. Additionally, I have asked several people who know the Bible quite well and who are, or at least who used to be, devout Christians, and I still have not been able to find such data.
Anyway, if someone here on the Forum can help me to determine this data, then I just may be able to settle this issue with ‘The Big Dog’.
Thanks much in advance.
