Did Jesus make statements reguarding his status, the words, the will and
the power he used ? Let us find out.
WORDS
Joh 7:16 Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His
who sent Me.
Joh 14:24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word
which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.
Joh 12:49 "For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who
sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
WILL
Joh 4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent
me, and to accomplish his work.
Joh 6:38 "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but
the will of Him who sent Me.
Lu 22:42 saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me;
nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."
POWER
Joh 5:30 "I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment
is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the
Father who sent Me.
Joh 8:42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me,
for I proceeded and came forth from God; I came not of my own accord,
but he sent me.
KNOWLEDGE
Mr 13:32 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Mt 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of
heaven, but My Father only.
Joh 7:16 So Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who
sent me;
STATUS
Mt 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the
kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Mr 10:18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good
but God alone.
8:50 "And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
Some Christians, (not all) claim that Jesus implied that he was God. From
the above verses, we
see that Jesus denied being God. It now leaves the Christians who believe
Jesus is God to provide
just one single verse in the Bible where Jesus says "I am God". There
is no such verse, so we see from
the many quotes above, that the House did not belong to Jesus, it belonged
to the ONE WHO
SENT him.
Is Jesus the Unique son of God
?
The Bible confirms that Jesus is not the unique son of God.
"And thou [Moses] shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is
my son, even my first born." (Exodus 4:22),
"He [Solomon] shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne
of his kingdom for ever. I will be his father and he shall be my son." (II
Samuel 7:13-14),
"I am a father to Israel and Ephraim is my firstborn"(Jeremiah 31:9), 'long
before Jesus was born', "I will declare the decree:the Lord hath said unto
me [David], Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee."(Psalm 2:7),
and "Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God"(Luke3: 38).
Do the few I mentioned have this "unique begotten son relationship"? Is Jesus
still unique because he had no father?
Well brothers and sisters, Adam and Eve had no father or mother. Jesus is
a word of God, God said "be" and then Jesus was created, Quran 19:9. It is
Blasphemy to say God begotten (sired) Jesus.
Jesus called himself son of man
and refused to be called son of God.
"And the devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ
the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak; for they
knew that he was Christ." (Luke 4:41)
and again "He [Jesus] said unto them [the disciples], But whom say ye that
I am? Peter answering said, The
Christ of God. And he straightly charged them, and commanded them to tell
no man that thing." (Luke 9:20 and 21).
