What Does the Sonship of Christ Mean and Why Is It Important to Understand?

[@florinlaiu]

Thank you, Ty Gibson, for your enlightening book!

[@o.g.6221]

Jesus being eternal God should be the first and foremost belief of any Christian.

[@waicmayen3546]

Christ is a literal Begotten Son of God.....

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Wai. Now, let's take a quick look at what the Bible is saying about this topic: The Son is not the natural, literal Son of the Father. A natural child has a beginning, while within the Godhead the Son is eternal. The term “Son” is used metaphorically when applied to the Godhead. It conveys the ideas of distinction of persons within the Godhead and the equality of nature in the context of an eternal, loving relationship. to learn more about this particular topic, visit: www.adventistbiblicalresearch.org/materials/a-question-of-sonship/

​@@AdventistOrgChurch Can I ask if this also applies to the South African SDA church as it is NOT to be found on their Web site?

The sonship of Christ is not a job description. It is literal.

Music is far too loud

[@eileennudd7790]

Our father in heaven brought his son forth from his own substance and gave him the authority to be called God his Sonship is not a job description. It is not a metaphor, it is what the Bible says that it is.

Watching this is very much the same as watching a comedy. It consists of 99% philosophy. Just watch it and search for Scripture. It is like searching for Wally, just never finding it. It is just human philosophy. Power and money goes together for sure, they don't want to lose their salaries. I really hope people will see right through it. He just want to sell his books.

Background music is too loud and disturbs the message.

[@johansteyn3756]

What a lot of rubbish. You deny the Father and the Son, full stop.

[@maxwellhammond3111]

Yes. They hide behind all these fancy words .

[@Ramo718]

We already have the Bible to read and understand. And we have also the spirit of prophecy. As the Bible says the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth John 14. No need to purchase a third book.😎

Good words describing the Son of God but lacking instruction. What has this to do with Trinity or what does the term 'Son of God' mean?. You would have to know who God is to understand who His Son is. The Scriptures give us the Answer but because of Translation we have to reason on what is written and this can only come from the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God is Spirit and it would follow that His Son would also be Spirit. The Father and Son exist Eternally, even before the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth. Their existence was outside of the Created Realm of the Heavens and the Earth. Once Created, the Heavens became the Realm of the Father and Son. The Father appointed His Son as Ruler over All Creation, it was subject to Him, and without Him nothing would exist. The Spirit Son of God, humbled Himself by becoming a willing servant to His Father who sent Him to the Earth as Holy Spirit, to the womb of a virgin, to be born into the world as the 'Son of Man', being God with us in the Flesh. He revealed His Father to His disciples and the World explaining the Kingdom of God and the reason for being sent as the 'Lamb of God' the Sacrifice for the Sin of the World. Our understanding of this comes from the Hebrew Scriptures. Translation gives us the word 'God' (singular, or one) but the word 'God' is translated from the Hebrew word אלהים ALaHaYM (plural, more than one), giving us the understanding of The Holy Spirit Father and The Holy Spirit Son. 'Trinity', a philosophy of Man, is an explanation that tries to describe the oneness of God. Scripture clearly explains the Father and Son, we just have to read it.

The New Testament authors, as well as Jesus and His apostles used the title SON OF GOD as an equivalent to CHRIST (THE ANNOINTED KING, according to Psalm 2, where the annointed King (Son of David/Messiah) is adopted by God, throgh that statement: ”Thou are My Son, TODAY (not before ages!) I have begotten Thee”. The sonship of Christ is nowhere described in the Bible as a biological relationship to God, but only as a deep spiritual relationship. Gabriel told Mary that her son will be CALLED / NAMED the Son of God / of Most High (Luke 1:35), not as if He were physically.the Son of God. IT IS NOT LITERAL. Christ is fully God, not by derivation. To be God means to be eternal and immortal in Himself, not to be born or to die. Christ died as a Man, therefore He had to be incarnated. Jews, Samaritans and even demons used this title (Mk 14:61; Lk 4:41; Jon 11:27), to mean nothing more than Messiah. In no case could these people imagine a physical birth of Messiah from God, as a God born of God, because the Old Testament, the only existing Bible at that time, had nothing to say about a physical/metaphysical birth of Messiah from God. The literalistic-speculative reading of the Bible is often a real curse. Anti-Trinitarian believers trust too much in thieir own reasoning, thinking that Trinitarian must be either stupid or malevolent / apostates. They want to simplify the truth about God, but they end up amputating the truth, since there is nothing like God, to be reasonably compared. Let God be God, as paradoxical as He is in His Oneness, in His Threeness and in His functional Trinity.

If Jesus is not a literal Son also God is not a literal Father, that is nothing but the core antichrist teaching... Bible says "... He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." 1 John 2 : 22
