The Difference Between "Son of God" and "Son of Man"

Jesus is given many titles in Scripture. What does it mean that He is the “Son of God” and the “Son of Man”? In this brief clip, R.C. Sproul reveals that these two titles actually signify something different than what we might expect.

R. C. had such a marvelous gift in his manner of speaking. His delivery, cadence, enthusiasm and grasp of the scripture was truly inspiring. He had a great sense of humor and had the ability to make light of himself. Listening to R.C. was so enjoyable. The sound of his voice had a soothing effect. I love the story where he said that someone made the comment (referring to R. C.'s teaching) that "he made the scriptures come alive". R.C. responded by saying, "I can't make something come alive that's already alive." That was R. C.. He was confident but humble. He knew who he was and he understood who the Creator was; a Holy God, a Just God, a God of limitless Power, a God of Mercy and Truth.

[@tongakhan230]

These so called preachers could be having an agenda of their own. This might help. The Son of Man was a title Jesus used to show that he was fully human. This was necessary to be Adam's EQUAL in human perfection. This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16). Daniel in his prophecy calls the angel who was chosen for this mission as 'someone like a son of man'. Daniel 7:13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, SOMEONE LIKE A SON OF MAN was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days (namely God), and they (the other angels) brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed. Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.’ “He also says, ‘In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they shall be changed.

[@littlefishbigmountain]

@@tongakhan230 Why would God say, “Let all the angels worship him” if he himself was an angel? And also: “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he may have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to Himself, by him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of his cross.” ~‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:15-20‬ It explicitly says that he was before all things and that nothing was made except through him, including all thrones and dominions and principalities and powers. So how can Jesus be any of those things, then? And how could he be a created thing of heaven if through him all things of heaven were created?

(1). Yes, Jesus said he is Son of God and Son of Man. He never, never said he is God. He said that the Father is one true God; your God and my God, your father and my father.

Jesus message is similar message of oneness of God and submission to His will, brought by Abraham, Noah, David, Moses and Muhammad pbuh.

[@christopherd6399]

@@sethsuleiman4419 Jesus is called Immanuel, which is translated "God with us." The prophet Isaiah (7:14) foretold His coming and we read the fulfillment of this prophecy in the book of Matthew 1:23. Jesus told the Pharisees "before Abraham was, I Am." This is the phrase God the Father used to define Himself when Moses asked who he should tell the Israelites who sent him (Exodus 3:14). The Pharisees took up stones to kill him for what they thought was blasphemy. They did not know Jesus is God who came to us in the flesh. My friend, Jesus identified as God throughout His ministry in earth and He was written about numerous times in the Old Testament. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father but through Him (John 14:6). I pray you will know Him and put your faith in Jesus who is the only One who can save men's souls.

Therefore, He will finish His role as Son of Man as Judge at the Second Coming and on into the Millennial Kingdom (the fulfillment of Daniel 7:13-14, 2:36-45), the conclusion of which will be the judgment of all unbelievers (Revelation 20:7-15).

This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16). Daniel in his prophecy calls the angel who was chosen for this mission as 'someone like a son of man'. Daniel 7:13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, SOMEONE LIKE A SON OF MAN was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days (namely God), and they (the other angels) brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed. Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy.

When Jesus calls Himself the Son of Man, He is humbling Himself not exalting Himself. He is identifying with us as human beings. This is supported in Phillipians 2:5-7, when Paul writes - " Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man , He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him..." Jesus was not exalting Himself by using the term Son of Man, He was humbling Himself by identifying as one of us.

[@Peter-pp2jo]

Do you think its more of a reference to Daniel 7 and other old testament prophecies of "one like the son of a man"? I lean more towards this view. The 1st century Jews would most likely understand the term when Jesus uses it through their knowledge of the old testament prophecies. Jesus appeared to be pretty much telling them He is the one all those verses were referring to. The old testament prophecies referred to the "one like the son of man" as a most exalted mysterious figure with rulership over the whole earth. Our Lord Jesus was pretty much telling them, "I am that son of man"

[@fivebooks8498]

@@Peter-pp2jo What you said makes sense to me as well as the previous comment from “Bible Answers”. I don’t think this video was on the right track. One thing that sticks out to me. If the title Son of God denotes obedience to the Father then why were the fallen angels who mated with women, which caused the Nephilim, called sons of God? The title son of God appears to mean they don’t have an earthly father and we’re directly created by God but does not determine whether they are obedient or disobedient. Angels whether fallen or not would fit that definition. Adam was a son of God. Yeshua is the only Begotten son of God and He is also the 2nd Adam.

[@mikeyseo]

If I may provide my personal two cents. We know from Genesis 6:4 it states "The sons of god came down to the daughters of men " and.. .essentially defiled the human race. Which gives us the book of enoch , and the stories of the nephilim. So... during the time of Jesus, when these stories of fallen angels mating with humans were more widely accepted... There was a need to distinguish himself from the fallen angels that came down before. What better way to do it than to appeal to the side of him that makes him one of us. A MAn. A more interesting insignt I find is via the Jealousy we see in Satan towards Mankind. And How in the bible, God often refers to men and their nations as "Virgins" or "Whores." So clearly, we can see the type of relationship God wishes to have with humanity. It is that of a husband and wife relationship. A Marriage. Where the husband goes out and makes money, the wife stays in the house, and cares for the house and the children. Here we can see if God is the husband . Man is the wife. Then Jesus is BOTH, Son of God and Son of Man. However, it is clearly up to him, by which parent he chooses to refer himself too. God marries Mankind and has a Son. Son bene ha Adam. I know its the same thing you stated. but I wanted to give you extra biblical answers lol

[@operatorenabla8398]

I'm no expert, but putting the dots together seems to bring to an interesting conclusion, analogous to one I myself have come up in other fields of life: that of the "communion" between humility and presumption. I'll try to explain myself: as RC says in the last bit of the video, Jesus is actually claiming authority, so in a way that could be called "presumption" (but remove all negative aspects of the word we culturally associate with it, I'm not a native english speaker thus I don't currently know a better word to use, so I use this one and with I simply mean the following: knowing the positive sides of the position you claim to hold, knowing it's possibilities and what good it may bring. One has to remember that this word then is dependant on the point of view, on the standards in society, and so on. On the other hand, by "humility" I mean aknowledging the negative sides that come up with the position you claim to hold, or in this context the non-exclusivity of this position). On the other hand, there's the phrase "you are the son of whom you obey" seems to imply that anybody can then be the Son of God, or the Son of Man and both at the same time: this could be called "humility" because it is an aknowledgement that you are not holding an exclusive position: as I said this facts are relative to a society which is imbued with evil and thus makes it seem like being so close to God is somehting exclusive and unaccessible, while if we all would accept "The Way of Things" we could live a better life all under God and at his side at the same time. The point in trying to surpass God is that it is useless and also a contradiction: doing that would not bring upon who tries God's Wrath, but just a series of consequences that would make it seem like that: we have a need to translate our ideas and intuitions into words, but as many phylosophers said, we can get tricked by our own words, and trapped by them. For example, by picturing God as a king, we humanize God and thus with time fall under the false sensation that God may be a tyrant enforcing his rule, and thus fall prey to a series of self-fueling actions that only achieve getting further and further from God, somewhat like falling down, or better, giving up in reaching the peak of a mountain one is trying to climb. Everything seems to point to the fact that we have the freedom of trying to get as near as God as we want, and also the freedom to sin: since all sins can be forgiven when one truly gets back on his way to God. So, as must be always remembered, God is actually there, although life situations may make it difficult to reach or see God, one can somehow always get back on the road to God. Instead, sinning is getting further from God, and that can be momentarily. Then compeltely giving up into sin is the decision of staying far from God, or worse the decision of getting further and further. And also that can always be reversed, but maybe the further from God, the harder is the way back. That is because pure evil doesn't exist, it lays there at infinity and thus however closer one tries to get to infinity, it will always be infinitely far from where one is. The reason why pure evil doesn't exist, is that evil is a synonim of destruction, and so pure evil would be pure destruction, so what is pure destruction? Nothing. Literally, not a region of space devoid of matter, but a region of pure nothing. How could one ever achieve, then, pure nothing? It's impossible, even after destroying everything, one would be met with chaos all around him, but not nothing, and still even if one managed to reach nothing, that one would need to still be there. Basically, I'm just stating with different words that the state of complete inexistance is just contradictory and thus just a word we use that doesn't describe any reality. As I said, God instead is there. And so much so that one can be there where God is too. We could say, that then one would be in harmony with everything, and thus God. Often when talking of such stuff the way our words and logic works creates rotating loops: picture a vortex in a fluid that moves forward, and that movement is reality, while still rotating in on itself, and that rotation is "fictitious". If you know some maths and physics, check out the cycloid curve for motion in a bycycle: depending on different factors, it could be that a point that is moving forward momentarily also moves backwards, seeming to loose ground. That is what happens with words, the true meaning comes through but only while also rotating almost as if repeating itself. One last thing: I think this pictures of thrones and kings is not appropriate to our current society: we now picture rulers as something that should not exist, almost like tyrants. That's probably another reason why today many misunderstand the messages of the Bible and Jusus and God. We are a bit closer to a better world then before, but with words we risk to refuse the guidelines to it! I really needed this long "exhale" of my ideas. I hope what I tried to say comes through clear enough! Please, if you don't like something, try to think about what I said with a lot of fantasy in your head, the way some words make me thing might not be the way the same words make you feel, and so it may seem we're not sharing the same idea, and instead we are. Also, with my words I'm just trying to make a picture of some of my ideas and intuitions, not absolute truths or anyting certain, so what I wrote should be read like if watching a very abstract painting, or read like if listening to a very free symphony that tries to convey certain feelings and images with its notes

[@nikostheater]

Not only the “son of man” declaration, but the whole divine imagery Jesus used, that he will come on the clouds, sitting in the right hand of the Power. The son on man vision from Daniel was identified by the Jews themselves as a vision about the messiah, so for them , when Jesus told them “I am the son of man”, they understood “ I am the messiah, the King of Israel and of everything , anointed and enthroned by God”. What Jesus told them instead, was that he was divine and he would be sitting on the Throne of God with the Father. Claiming to be the Messiah wasn’t a crime for Jews but the opposite. Claiming to be divine though, was the worst crime of all. Blasphemy worthy of death.

Partially right. "Son of Man" as given in Daniel 7:13 is not ''Ben Adam.' You are correct. Here's what it is: בַ֥ר אֱנָ֖שׁ (H/A) "Bar -Enosh" : the second letter of the earlier Hebrew Name given here (in later Heb. form ie Aram.) as אֱנָ֖שׁ is the letter 'nun' and not samek or tsadhe as your comment would have to suggest Given the subject matter of Dan 7 and its period of writing, one would do well to draw a line straight to Enos (KJV transliteration) which is the greek form of "Enoch" from Genesis' earliest genealogies and so forth In 8:13 when the angel Gabriel is directly addressing the prophet Daniel, he calls him בֶּן־אָדָ֔ם ie Bar-Adam. Son of Adam, or as the synecdoche "Son of Man." Interesting the distinction. I wish more people would take the time to actually study these things themselves rather than relying on what others tell them. 😊

This choice should be made when you are in spirit (trance) with the conscious mind disengaged of circumvented. From that moment the untested created spirit sets upon the path to sonship ( through the narrow gate) and up the mountain that is composed of service to others NOT SERVATUDE but providing strength to those family members who are wavering. The focus of sonship must always be on selfless giving the essential nature of God. If the focus is on receiving and selfishness the service is to the deceiver dark side. It is what lies within the heart as your intention not necessarily an action. This nation has been deceived by the deception of the dark side.

Except 'Son of Adam' would definitely be less correct as a NT rendering. A'dam is used in the OT to denote the actual first man, named Adam', but also IN MORE PLACES used primarily to refer to all mankind ie all Adam's offspring. Most often this is translated in English versions as "man" or "mankind" or "humankind" Example: GEN 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. _A'dam_ is the Hebrew in all three instances of 'man' there. Son of Man in the NT is υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου which is Son of "anthropos". There is a way to write 'Adam' in the Greek but "anthropos" is not it. It is rather: Ἀδὰμ (eg Luke 3:38) Anthropos in Greek means humankind (general "man") EDIT so υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου which means son of ἀνθρώπου is rightly rendered "Son of man" Cheers

I'm still confused and would appreciate some help. I'm reading Ezekiel and noting that the Lord addresses the prophet Ezekiel as Son of Man as well. (And aren't all Christian men sons of God?)

[@mainestreetpreacher2688]

Amen I was actually just looking through the comments because I wanted to ask the same thing. If it is a highly exalted title, in what manner are we to take it when it is applied to Ezekiel?

[@mainestreetpreacher2688]

@Mozinwrath Could you be more clear? I'm trying to understand. But the simple question is, if the title "son of man" is a high and lofty title pointing to his deity, then why is Ezekiel also called "son of man"?

[@jeffrey5966]

@Mozinwrath Thank you, Mozinwrath! I must admit though that I would like to second John Andrade's follow up. (I should also correct myself in saying that Ezekiel is "son of man" in my translation and not "Son of Man")

The truth may be quite different. The Son of Man was a title Jesus used to show that he was fully human. This was necessary to be Adam's EQUAL in human perfection. This is so that Jesus could die in Adam's place and release the human family to enjoy everlasting life on earth as God purposed. (Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16). Daniel in his prophecy calls the angel who was chosen for this mission as 'someone like a son of man'. Daniel 7:13 “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, SOMEONE LIKE A SON OF MAN was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days (namely God), and they (the other angels) brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed. Jesus thus identified himself with the one spoken of in Daniel's prophecy.

The account is found at Daniel 7:13,14. An ANGEL is chosen to be the son of man. Namely, Jesus. Hence the term Son of God too (cf Job 1:6). With respect. No ne can have the best explanation. Either it is accurate or false.

One other note of interest here, Jesus and Ezekiel are the only two people in the Bible referred to as "son of man." Also, God laid iniquities upon both of them. Jesus, "Upon Him, He laid the iniquities of us all." Ezekiel, Chapter four, the iniquity of Israel and the iniquity of Judah, each for a specific number of days to stand for a specific number of years, were laid upon Ezekiel. There was no suggestion of divinity in Ezekiel's case, just a bearing of iniquity.

[@chrispark5570]

Daniel called son of Man (8:17). "So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision."

If only those ascend to heaven who have come down from heaven, as Jesus says, then those of us who ascend to heaven have come down from heaven. A higher, divine, state of consciousness, in union with God, for the Kingdom of God and His justice is in us. That also we may have the joy and peace of God. “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” ~John 15:11 ❤️

Was was Ezekiel given the title, Son of Man, over and over and over. I thought it's exclusively to Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Any help?

[@jryuwah]

“Son of man” according to humans (in Ezekiel’s case ) was simply to mean as its stated “offspring of mankind” according to the flesh I am for example a “Son of man” as we are sons and daughters of mankind But in Jesus’s case he was referring back to what Daniel saw in his vision. The one coming on the clouds I.e. his inward nature. While they’re the same title they aren’t synonymous. Note that the Pharisees knew what Jesus meant when he called himself the Son of Man, they weren’t going back to Ezekiel they were going back to Daniel. The understood the language here. The Son of Man (the spirit/eternal Christ In heaven John 3:13) is who went to the heart of the earth, not the Son of God while all at the same time this is the same Jesus just in a different nature. The Son of Man is the word of God, the power and wisdom of God and is the ARM of God who brought salvation see Isaiah 59:1 and 59:16. This is “Arm” is the “Ladder” that Jacob saw in his vision in Genesis 8:28 and confirmed to be the Son of Man in John 1:51 by Jesus himself. The Son of Man is the Christ who was before Abraham and by him (The Son) all things were made. He is the Word of God/Hand of God/God himself the actual “Son” which abideth forever The mystery of the matter is why God would have it that he decided to use the same title that would refer to mere mortals to an immortal entity such as himself. In my understanding the “Son” is the savior and the “of Man” would make him the savior of Man. The kicker is this, our inward nature is the true “Man” Jesus did not come to save our flesh but our “inward man”. I.e our eternal form. Also, You have to first understand that the “Son” in this case is not relating itself to any human but the Godhead. The Father sent his own arm(Word/Son) to save and then brought it back to himself when the work was complete. You should tune into Apostle LC Mathis. I believe he has been given revelation from God pertaining to this subject!

[@streamlineperformance6028]

@@jryuwah thank you for the detailed information. I have been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and accepted Him as my Lord and Saviour more than two decades ago and yet through so many years of fasting myself thin, millions of prayers, letters written to God, studying His Word to from Genesis to Revelations more than 6 times now, requesting the assistance of His Holy Spirit, Parakletos/Ru'ach Hakodesh for spiritual interpretation and discernment so as to understand The Word by Divine Mentorship rather than mere human intellect, I still feel like a fool, a failure because I get what you're saying but there's a part of me that wishes certain titles weren't carried over into different interpretations. I've even asked God to take this part of me away so I can have more of Him. This part that wishes so much it would be written plainly. Up until today, it feels like how could Paul, Luke, Peter, Bartholomew them all speak in such poetic mystery. I keep regressing in memory to picture myself conversing with them and listening to their Wisdom and all I ever see is myself saying, "speak the way people CONVERSE NORMALLY!" And I understand that it's only revealed to those who seek, that it is plain for those who receive it through God's divinity. Which makes me feel like a complete tool. Like I've been forcing for nearly 20 years to be a Christian but others get it, they feel Him, they get Him, like you do. And I'm simply forcing to be righteous. Isn't there a reason why they're called the Chosen. Because Jesus chose them? Then I'd be selecting myself to be chosen and opposed to being selected.

[@jryuwah]

@@streamlineperformance6028 Of course my friend. The book of Isaiah says this “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:” No one ever gets the full understanding in one day it takes years sometimes. Im about to be 29 and I’m still getting understanding. But I hold true to the word that He that hungers and thirsts after righteousness will be saved. I believe that in your thirst for truth God will continue to give you understanding. To give you something to consider about the “son of man” title Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent” You see here that the word is essentially saying that God is not corrupt human flesh that lies and asks for forgiveness. The word doubles back and emphasizes that a mere mortal man is a “son of man” I hope that gives some clarity on how there is a son of man that pertains to the flesh and a “The Son of Man” that is coming on the clouds. I’m not a scholar that understands why terminology transfers to different contexts but I let the Holy Spirit open my eyes to see that if Jesus says the Son of Man is coming on the clouds then he’s not talking about a human being born of a woman. I also wanted to note that we truly don’t know to what extent the Apostles truly taught pertaining to doctrine. Like for instance, there’s no book that hones in Paul’s teaching on a particular biblical subject on a random Tuesday or Wednesday but I know for certain the apostles went into to DEEP teaching that could not be documented but still supported by the word. What the word says is God will give some apostles, deacons, pastors ect to function in the church all operating with varying levels of understanding. I can guarantee you that there were MANY church members who needed help understanding the Godhead and had to have things broken down. This is why Paul would often send letters to struggling churches things like “I can’t feed you all meat because you’re still struggling with basic doctrine therefore you all still drink milk ect..” I say Give apostle LC Mathis a try. You’re asking all the right questions. Open your Bible and follow his words and see if you can read what’s being said. As these last days continue God says the revelation will shine brighter and brighter. Last thing I will say on the subject of being saved since I don’t know you on a personal level. Have you repented of your sins and have been baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ like Acts 2:38 stated? If not I’d start there! Even myself in my adult age had to go back and obey those commands because all my life I would simply tell people “I’ve excepted Jesus” but never repented of my own specific sins that I knew to repent for nor was baptized in THAT Name . and after that my understanding of who God was came open a little more. If you have, continue to seek God for understanding. Here a little, there a little. I promise you God will give you answers and you’ll be able to find those answers in the Word to confirm I’ll definitely pray for you and your walk with Jesus a Christ.

Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans In Exodus, the nation of Israel is called God's firstborn son. Solomon is also called "son of God". Angels, just and pious men, and the kings of Israel are all called "sons of God."

[@tongakhan230]

God ADDRESSES Ezekiel as Son of Man. Ezekiel 2:1 He then said to me: “SON OF MAN, stand up on your feet that I may speak with you.” A chosen Angel is LIKENED to a Son of Man at Daniel 7:13,14. Jesus applies that term ON HIMSELF (Matthew 20:28) to identify himself as that chosen angel. Remember Paul writing: 'To WHICH of the ANGELS did God say...' - Hebrews 1:5,13. Humans too are sons of man. Psalms 8:4 What is mortal man that you keep him in mind, And a son of man that you take care of him? Trust this is helpful.

[@Jared-Cruz]

Daniel 7:13-14 13 “I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve (pelach) him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed." The word "serve" used here in Dan 7:14 is the Aramaic word "pelach", which literally means to worship or pay reverence to. What's interesting is, every single time the word pelach is used in the Old Testament, it is with God as the object, never human beings. Just another really cool detail that shows that this Son of Man (Jesus Christ) is indeed totally and completely Divine, for only God can receive the worship implied by this unique word choice.

[@ralphgoreham3516]

Jesus received "proskyneo" which has been translated as worship, obeisance, bow before, prostrate, Kings and High Priests received such too . Read Mat. 18:26. A slave did proskyneo before a creditor. Trinitarians in the case of Jesus want it as worship, not obeisance. As you would expect. Jared divine or divinity does not mean God. Divine is an adjective , and means Godlike.

[@ATinyPillow]

Jared Cruz : Actually Romans 1:3-4 explains that the son of man became the son of God via the resurrection of the dead. Here's a little truth for you found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Birth Of John The Baptist It was in the days of Herod, King of Judea that a priest known as Zacharias.... And his wife Elizabeth we're found by God to be righteous and pure.... Thus keeping the Holy Law and its commandments to the letter. But they had no children, Elizabeth being barren and both well into the years of life.... Zacharias’ duty was to burn incense in the temple of the True God.... And it was at this time that an angel of the Lord appeared unto him saying: "Have no fear, Zacharias, for thy prayer has been heard and answered, for surely thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, even John, shalt thou call his name. And thou shalt have much gladness and rejoicing; for many shall welcome his birth; for John shall be great in the eyes of the Lord, and he shall eat no animal flesh, nor drink strong drink at any time; he being filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his very beginning, from his mother's womb. And for a certainty, many of the children of Israel shall he turn back to the True God of Love; for he shall be sent by HIM in the same spirit and power of Elias...To make ready a holy people prepared for the Lord.” ·· And Zacharias said unto the archangel Gabriel... "I am, old man, and my wife is old also, tell me, how is this to take place?" And Gabriel, one of the seven glories of the True God Eternal, spake unto Zacharias, informing him of his son to come. And it came to pass, after a time, that Elizabeth conceived.... Even a son as the angel foretold to be named John ...Now John in his coming manhood would be educated in the Holy Law of God, he being the promised forerunner and announcer of the holy Christ. 
 And it was in the sixth month that the holy Gabriel was again sent by God unto a certain place of Galilee to a virgin named Mary, espoused to a man of the royal line of David, whose name was Joseph. Now Joseph was holy and pure minded, skilled in the trade of woodworking and stone masonry. And Mary was gentle and kind, with a discerning mind and humble spirit before the Lord. Both were pronounced good and holy before God; and of them was Yeshua, who is called later the Christ or Messiah. 
 Thus Gabriel came unto Mary and said, "Behold, Mary, thou art highly favored of God, for the Motherhood of God is surely with thee; blessed art thou among women, for blessed will be the fruit of thy womb." And when Mary beheld the glorious angel of God, she was confused at his saying, and wondered what manner of salutation this should mean for her. But Gabriel understanding her mind, spake unto her saying, "Fear not, Mary, and be not troubled with your thinking, for thou hast found favour with God. For behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a holy child of the Most High, and He shall be great and shall be called a Son of the Highest Order. For a certainty the All-Eternal One shall give unto Him alone the very throne of his father David. And he shall rule over all the house of Jacob forever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end, but it shall reign in peace eternal." 
 And Gabriel spake further unto her, "The Holy Spirit, even the Mother of Wisdom shall come upon Joseph, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, O Mary, therefore also is that holy, which shall be born of thee, even Christ, the Child of God, and his name on earth shall be called Yeshua, for it is he that shall save the people from bondage to sin, even all those repenting and obeying His Holy Laws. 
 "Therefore, O Mary, ye shall eat no animal flesh, nor drink strong drink, for the holy child shall be consecrated unto the All- Eternal from its mother's womb, and neither animal flesh nor strong drink shall he eat or drink in any form, nor shall ever a razor touch his head." And the angel Gabriel spake further: "And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her womb, even of old age will she bring forth, this being the sixth month with her, she who was called barren. For, I say unto you, with God no thing shall ever be impossible." At that, Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it unto me according to thy holy words." 
 And in the same day, the angel Gabriel appeared unto Joseph while he was asleep, and said unto him: "Hail, Joseph, thou art highly favored by God, for the Fatherhood of God is with thee this day. Blessed art thou among men and blessed be the fruit of thy loins." Joseph, his mind confused, wondered at these words, but Gabriel said unto him: "Fear not, Joseph, thou son of David....“For thou shalt beget a child, and thou shalt call his name Yeshua, for he alone shall save his people from bondage to sin." 
 Now for a certainty all this was said and done that it might be fulfilled which was written in the prophets saying, "Behold a Maiden shall conceive and be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel, which means 'With us is God's Son." Thus Joseph being raised from his sleep did as Gabriel had told him, and went in unto Mary, his espoused bride, and she conceived in her womb the holy one of God. 
 Later, at the home of Elizabeth.... Mary said unto God, "My soul doth rejoice greatly in God's Son, my Savior. For thou hast regarded the humility of thy handmaiden; and, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For Thou that art mighty and powerful hast indeed done to me great things; for Holy is Thy Name and purpose, and Thy mercy is on them that respect Thee from generation to generation, even to eternity.... Thou hast exalted the humble and the meek, and hast remembered Abraham and thy seed forever." And Mary lived on with Elizabeth for three months and then returned to her own home. .

All these question can be answered by believing what the Bible DOES TEACH. God is Jehovah whom humans can never see at any time (1 John 4:12). Jesus is the ANGELIC son of God whom God SENT to be born as a human. This one then could be Adam's equal in order to be able to pay off the penalty of death imposed on Adam. This would free Adam's family to regain the prospect of everlasting life on earth. (Galatians 4:4, Romans 5:12,18, John 3:16). The holy spirit is God's active force which he uses to accomplish his will. It can be likened to the electricity which a Generator sends to get appliances to work. Jesus couldn't do any miracles UNTIL God gave him this holy spirit at Jesus' baptism. There is ONLY ONE TRUE GOD. Even Jesus made this clear in his prayer to God. John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. I hope this is clear and helpful.
