he says he is.
there isn't any point in trying to prove jesus as the son of god anyway, since following christ is based on faith, not proof.

[lostboysforest]

where does he say he is god? and i know its all vanity but its just for fun you know like studying the bible and talking about it

[rachaelnelson]

Matthew 26:
63But Jesus remained silent.
The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God." 64 "Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.

Luke 22:
69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God."
70 They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?"
He replied, "You are right in saying I am."

John 19:
7 The Jews insisted, "We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God."

& there are numerous other references in the bible claiming jesus to be the son of god, & so if you want, you can count those as well, seeing as the word is god.

i think timmy was looking for jesus being g-d himseld, i.e. the trinity, not necessarily the son of g-d

in the beggining was the word, the word was with g-d and the word WAS GOD.

idk. all that seems to say to me is that jesus used to be g-d which doesnt make any sense.
also idk how john could have known what happened in the beggining unless someone told him.
and you would think he would have wrote down who tol him.

there are more though. wait for scott's comment i have a feeling it will be a lot better than mine.

i feel like this whole thought is a human fabrication. it seems absurd to think that there would only be one singular individual to dominate as lord and savior (ie only believing in jesus or only muhammad as son of god etc.) and that there wouldnt be a more universally and culturally accepting way to reach transcendentalism (if you honestly believe in such a dark ages/catholic world view that you need someone else to mediate for you to reach god). with all of the diversity and nations of the world why would god pick one man to spread the news of his love and supremacy?

the whole 'son of god' idea just seems to be an extension of political hierarchy and rulership (deriving from male domination) that drifted over into religious leadership. it seems to be more of a primitive construction on humanity's part than any sort of spiritual truth.

(if you honestly believe in such a dark ages/catholic world view that you need someone else to mediate for you to reach god) who else to mediate for me??? im not picking up what your laying down if you dont mind clarifying

[ofwordsandwords]

this should be easier:

what could you honestly say to prove jesus is the son of god that would not be applicable to muhammad as well.

and i don't mean some statement about the crucifixion or resurrection because i don't believe you can actually prove that.
