The book of Nowhere, Chapter 0 and Verse 0, aka:



Nowhere 0:0.



Like the Trinity, the book of "Nowhere" is a VERY hard to comprehend book, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and goes against all and any form of logic... but it is enjoyed and revered by many.

{Should You Believe in the Trinity?}





EDIT: Pastor Art brings home the point even clearer as to just how totally unscriptural the dogma of the Trinity actually is. How? By comparing what he himself (he is a "Pastor" is he not?) said about the Trinity, with the truth found in the holy Bible.



Pastor Art said... and I quote:



"The most difficult thing about the Trinity Doctrine is that there is NO WAY TO ADEQUATELY EXPLAIN IT. The Trinity is a CONCEPT that is IMPOSSIBLE for any human being to fully UNDERSTAND, let alone EXPLAIN. God is infinitely higher than we are, therefore we should not expect to be able to fully understand Him. The Bible teaches that the Father is God (Exodus 3:14), that Jesus is God (John 8:58), and that the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4). The Bible also teaches that there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; James 2:19). How these two statements of doctrine can both be true is INCOMPREHENSIBLE to the human mind."

(Caps mine)



Ain't THAT a hoot?! As I once said before, IF the Trinity were true (it's not) it would mean that God Almighty is far more cruel than Satan the Devil could ever be.



How so?



Because at John 17:3, the Son of God in prayer TO ALMIGHTY GOD HIS FATHER (that ALONE should say it all... but hey, I guess showing die hard Trinitarians that Jesus actually PRAYED TO GOD ALMIGHTY, is like trying to explain the color red to a person born blind) said:



"This MEANS EVERLASTING LIFE, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."

~ John 17:3



If our EVERLASTING LIFE is dependant on our taking in KNOWLEDGE of the ONLY true God AND of his Son that he sent (Jesus Christ), but the Trinity concept is as Pator Art himself stated; "INCOMPREHENSIBLE to the human mind" and that there is "NO WAY TO ADEQUATELY EXPLAIN IT", then we are all as good as doomed!



How can we take in KNOWLEDGE about something that is "INCOMPREHENSIBLE to the human mind" and has "NO WAY TO ADEQUATELY EXPLAIN IT"?



Didn't we all learn from childhood that we shouldn't go around trying to TEACH that in which we ourselves DO NOT understand, let alone comprehend? Yet, Jesus Christ COMANDED at Matthew 28:20 that his disciples are to TEACH people in their divine duty of making disciples. How can one TEACH that which one does not themself understand?!



Why would God Almighty ever do such a thing as that? What a SICK, TWISTED joke that would be on humanity, that is, IF it were true... but it is not.



John 8:58 DOES NOT in any way, shape, fashion or form state and or show that Jesus Christ IS God Almighty (as Pastor Art claims). Why not?



Pay attention class, eyes up front please *tapping on desk* (hehe).



At John 8:58 a number of translations, for instance The Jerusalem Bible, have Jesus saying:



"Before Abraham ever was, I Am."



Was Jesus there teaching, as Trinitarians such as Pastor Art assert, that he was known by the title "I Am"? And, as they claim, does this mean that he was Jehovah of the Hebrew Scriptures, since the King James Version at Exodus 3:14 states:



"God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM"?



At Exodus 3:14 (KJ) the phrase "I AM" is used as A TITLE for God to indicate that he really existed and would do what he promised. The Pentateuch and Haftorahs, edited by Dr. J. H. Hertz, says of the phrase: "To the Israelites in bondage, the meaning would be, 'Although He has not yet displayed His power towards you, He will do so; He is eternal and will certainly redeem you.' Most moderns follow Rashi [a French Bible and Talmud commentator] in rendering [Exodus 3:14] 'I will be what I will be.'"



The expression at John 8:58 is QUITE DIFFERENT from the one used at Exodus 3:14. How so? Jesus DID NOT use it as a NAME or A TITLE but as a means of explaining his prehuman existence. Hence, note how some other VERY CREDIBLE Bible versions render John 8:58... and I quote:



1869: "From before Abraham was, I have been."

- The New Testament, by G. R. Noyes.



1935: "I existed before Abraham was born!"

- The Bible—An American Translation, by J. M. P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed.



1965: "Before Abraham was born, I was already the one that I am."

-Das Neue Testament, by Jörg Zink.



1981: "I was alive before Abraham was born!"

-The Simple English Bible.



1984: "Before Abraham came into existence, I have been."

-New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.



Thus, the real thought of the Greek used here is that God's created "firstborn," Jesus, had EXISTED long BEFORE Abraham was born, as Colossians 1:15; Proverbs 8:22, 23, 30 and Revelation 3:14 attest to.



THE CONTEXT itself shows this to be the absolute correct understanding. Why? The Jews wanted to stone Jesus for claiming to "have seen Abraham" although, as they said, he was not yet 50 years old (Verse 57). Jesus' natural response was to tell the truth ABOUT HIS AGE. So he naturally told them that he "was alive before Abraham was born!", as is translated in The Simple English Bible (quoted already above).



As far as Pastor Art's erroneous claim of the Holy Spirit being God, I don't have time and or room enough to go into how easily the Scriptures themselves refute that notion of Christendom but it is explained beautifully in the brochure publication link I posted for all to read along with their Bible's.



Here, I'll post the exact link from the brochure that SCRIPTURALLY refutes the notion that God's holy spirit IS God Almighty himself and part of some "mysterious" Trinity:



http://www.watchtower.org/e/ti/article_07.htm

{Should You Believe in the Trinity?:

The Holy Spirit—God's Active Force}



"INCOMPREHENSIBLE to the human mind", yeah right. What is truly "INCOMPREHENSIBLE to the human mind" is the unscriptural dogma of Trinity which POSES as genuine Christian doctrine but in reality is nothing more than a man-made teaching that has been in existence for centuries, but was totally absent from the 1st century Christian church believers.



" Those who do not have the truth cannot argue against it. If they are opposed to the truth for some reason of their own, then they will try to counteract it by telling things that are not true. But the truth cannot be hidden for long if you are really interested in finding it. Jesus said: “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” "

An honest, clear statement of the Trinity Doctrine would be:



"For there are three persons who compose the only true God: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And these three persons are the One God."



It isn't a difficult statement for anyone to write, let alone an inspired Bible writer. But not only does the word 'Trinity' NOT appear in the Bible, but neither does the explicit doctrine itself (not even once) in the inspired scriptures.



Even some TRINITARIAN publications agree:



"In the NT there is no direct suggestion of a doctrine of the Trinity." - p. 344, An Encyclopedia of Religion, Ferm (ed.), 1945.



"The dogma of the Trinity is of relatively recent date. There is no reference to it in the Old Testament .... One can even say that it is a conception foreign to primitive [earliest] Christianity." - Professor Louis Reau of the Sorbonne (France's leading university), in Iconographie de l' Art Chretien, v. 2, Book 1, p. 14.



"Exegetes and theologians today are in agreement that the Hebrew Bible [the Old Testament] does not contain a doctrine of the Trinity ...

"Further, exegetes and theologians agree that the New Testament also does not contain an explicit doctrine of the Trinity ....

"It is incontestable that the [Trinity] doctrine cannot be established on scriptural evidence alone." - The Encyclopedia of Religion, Macmillan Publishing Co., 1987, volume 15, p. 54.



"Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: `Hear, O Israel: The Lord [Jehovah] our God is one Lord.' Deut. 6:4 .... - The New Encyclopedia Britannica, 1985, Micropedia, vol. 11, p. 928.



"Trinity, a word not found in Scripture but used to express the doctrine of the unity of God as subsisting in 3 distinct persons. Not only is the word `Trinity' not in Scripture, but there is no isolated exposition on this attribute of God in either testament. It is an inferred doctrine, gathered eclectically from the entire Canon." - p. 630 of the highly trinitarian publication, Today's Dictionary of the Bible, Bethany House Publishers, 1982.



"[The Trinity Doctrine] is not ... directly and immediately the word of God." - (p. 304) "The formulation `One God in three persons' was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian Dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers [those very first Christians who had known and been taught by the Apostles and their disciples], there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective." - New Catholic Encyclopedia, p. 299, v. 14, 1967.



The trinitarian reference work, The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology, 1986, Zondervan, admits: "The NT does not contain the developed doctrine of the Trinity. `The Bible lacks the express declaration that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are of equal essence and therefore in an equal sense God himself. And the other express declaration is also lacking, that God is God thus and only thus, i.e. as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These two express declarations which go beyond the witness of the Bible, are the twofold content of the Church doctrine of the Trinity.'.... It also lacks such terms as `trinity' ... and homoousios which featured in the Creed of Nicaea (325) to denote that Christ was of the same substance as the Father." And "All this underlines the point that primitive Christianity did not have an explicit doctrine of the trinity such as was subsequently elaborated in the creeds [after 325 A. D.] of the early church." - p. 84, v. 2.

It isn't. Some verses have been twisted or even altered to make it seem Biblical....



Compare for instance 1 Timothy 3:16 and 1 John 5:7 in the King James VS a modern English Bible.



The Trinity actually comes from a Roman Catholic written document set down centuries after the apostles finished the Bible. Galatians 1:7-10. It is from this Athanasian Creed that trinity comes and began denying that God had a son at all.



True Christians believe that Jesus is God's son he sent down from heaven. John 3:16, 5:19, 6:46, 1:18, 1 John 4:12, John 17:3, more.

There is enough for and against trinity to make the disagreement among early christians real. The Bishops decided that some statements made by others were wrong and banned them. A doctrine of the church arises when someone teaches what is wrong. The doctrine does not fully define the matter of faith, it just says that to teach that thing is wrong.



The Bishops are authorized to do this as they are successors of the Apostles sent to teach all that Jesus taught. Some claim that recognizing the Bible means that the Bishops have lost this obligation placed on them by Jesus. This is not the case according to those who follow the Church that was established when the Apostles were given this power.



So when it was taught that Jesus and God the Father were one or that God chooses to appear as Jesus or God the Father or that there are three gods or that Jesus was not divine, these things have been declared wrong teaching by those charged by Jesus to teach.



There is nothing intrinsically evil about some of these heresies, nor are they void of any Biblical support. It is the case that the Bible can support conflicting theories and the Church teaches one of them and banns the other.



In the days when Christianity was one, this mattered. Now some believe that any man can read the Bible and authentically interpret it. If history is ignored, the heresies can be brought backed and believed supported by the Bible as was thought centuries ago.



The Church takes the Bible as a whole and does not see on verse or one chapter or one book as the totality of the teachings of Jesus. They take seriously that the Holy Spirit is guiding the Church and keeping her from error.

Nowhere, just like the word "monotheism." Some things are implicit, some things are explicit. It doesn't have to be written in the Bible to be true, because the things which the doctrine of the Trinity entails are in the Bible.



peace.

The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”—(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.

The word does not exist in the bible, but the following verse sums it up as well as others too. If you email me I will give them and explain it better. For trolls are not worth that much time. But those willing to learn are.

Notice, Jesus says right here. "I and the Father are one." not one spirit, just one in the same being. And if one truly knows God/Jesus they will understand this, and maybe God will help you if not.



John 10:30 (New International Version)

30 I and the Father are one."



bless you.

The word Trinity is not, however . . . the concept of the Trinity is.



Trinity Doctrine - Foundation of the Christian Faith



What is the Trinity Doctrine?



In a nutshell, there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit. The three persons of the Godhead are coequal and co-eternal (Genesis 1:26, Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19, Luke 1:35, Hebrews 3:7-11, and 1 John 5:7).



Trinity Doctrine - How Can We Comprehend It?



The most difficult thing about the Trinity Doctrine is that there is no way to adequately explain it. The Trinity is a concept that is impossible for any human being to fully understand, let alone explain. God is infinitely higher than we are, therefore we should not expect to be able to fully understand Him. The Bible teaches that the Father is God (Exodus 3:14), that Jesus is God (John 8:58), and that the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4). The Bible also teaches that there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; James 2:19). How these two statements of doctrine can both be true is incomprehensible to the human mind. However, this doesn't mean that they're both not true.



Trinity Doctrine - No Illustration Is Completely Accurate



With respect to the Trinity Doctrine, none of the popular illustrations are completely accurate descriptions. The egg fails in that the shell, white and yoke are parts of the egg, not the egg in themselves. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not parts of God, each of them is God. The water illustration is somewhat better, but still fails to adequately describe the Trinity. Liquid, vapor and ice are forms of water. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not forms of God, each of them is God. So, while these illustrations may give us a picture of the Trinity, the picture is not entirely accurate or complete. An infinite God cannot be fully described by a finite illustration.



Instead of focusing on the Trinity, try to focus on the fact of God's greatness and infinitely higher nature than our own. "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor?" (Romans 11:33-34)



Jehovah God is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit -- three Persons, one God. Tertullian (160-215 AD) explained, "We define that there are two, the Father and the Son, and three with the Holy Spirit, and this number is made by the pattern of salvation... They are three, not in dignity, but in degree, not in substance but in form, not in power but in kind. They are of one substance and power, because there is one God from whom these degrees, forms and kinds devolve in the name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit." (Adv. Prax. 23; PL 2.156-7).



Trinity Doctrine - God is Beyond Comprehension!



The core of the Trinity Doctrine is the reality of a triune Godhead - God lives in fellowship and relationship with Himself. This is a difficult concept to grasp. But let's put a God-sized doctrine into perspective -- God is beyond our comprehension. "'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,' says the LORD. 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts'" (Isaiah 55:8-9). It shouldn't bother us that we can't understand "tri-unity." We can't comprehend infinity, eternity or electricity either, but reality is real whether we can comprehend it or not.



All we really need to know about the Trinity Doctrine: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…" (Matthew 28:19)

1) There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5).



2) The Trinity consists of three Persons (Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8, 48:16, 61:1; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). In Genesis 1:1, the Hebrew plural noun "Elohim" is used. In Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7 and Isaiah 6:8, the plural pronoun for “us” is used. The word "Elohim" and the pronoun “us” are plural forms, definitely referring in the Hebrew language to more than two. While this is not an explicit argument for the Trinity, it does denote the aspect of plurality in God. The Hebrew word for "God," "Elohim," definitely allows for the Trinity.



In Isaiah 48:16 and 61:1, the Son is speaking while making reference to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Compare Isaiah 61:1 to Luke 4:14-19 to see that it is the Son speaking. Matthew 3:16-17 describes the event of Jesus' baptism. Seen in this passage is God the Holy Spirit descending on God the Son while God the Father proclaims His pleasure in the Son. Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 are examples of three distinct Persons in the Trinity.



3) The members of the Trinity are distinguished one from another in various passages. In the Old Testament, “LORD” is distinguished from “Lord” (Genesis 19:24; Hosea 1:4). The LORD has a Son (Psalm 2:7, 12; Proverbs 30:2-4). The Spirit is distinguished from the “LORD” (Numbers 27:18) and from “God” (Psalm 51:10-12). God the Son is distinguished from God the Father (Psalm 45:6-7; Hebrews 1:8-9). In the New Testament, Jesus speaks to the Father about sending a Helper, the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17). This shows that Jesus did not consider Himself to be the Father or the Holy Spirit. Consider also all the other times in the Gospels where Jesus speaks to the Father. Was He speaking to Himself? No. He spoke to another Person in the Trinity—the Father.



4) Each member of the Trinity is God. The Father is God (John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2). The Son is God (John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20). The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16).



5) There is subordination within the Trinity. Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is subordinate to the Father and the Son, and the Son is subordinate to the Father. This is an internal relationship and does not deny the deity of any Person of the Trinity. This is simply an area which our finite minds cannot understand concerning the infinite God. Concerning the Son see Luke 22:42, John 5:36, John 20:21, and 1 John 4:14. Concerning the Holy Spirit see John 14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7, and especially John 16:13-14.



6) The individual members of the Trinity have different tasks. The Father is the ultimate source or cause of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; Revelation 4:11); divine revelation (Revelation 1:1); salvation (John 3:16-17); and Jesus' human works (John 5:17; 14:10). The Father initiates all of these things.



The Son is the agent through whom the Father does the following works: the creation and maintenance of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16-17); divine revelation (John 1:1, 16:12-15; Matthew 11:27; Revelation 1:1); and salvation (2 Corinthians 5:19; Matthew 1:21; John 4:42). The Father does all these things through the Son, who functions as His agent.



The Holy Spirit is the means by whom the Father does the following works: creation and maintenance of the universe (Genesis 1:2; Job 26:13; Psalm 104:30); divine revelation (John 16:12-15; Ephesians 3:5; 2 Peter 1:21); salvation (John 3:6; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:2); and Jesus' works (Isaiah 61:1; Acts 10:38). Thus, the Father does all these things by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Nowhere. Trinity is the great lie in christianity. Its not Logical, unscientific and brainwashed theory!



Genesis 1:26 mean trinity?



lets see what the meaning of "Our Image" "Our likeness"



The Likeness of God is not of the physical appearance, but rather having the knowledge of Good and Evil. This is clearly stated in Bible



"..And you will be like Gods(Elohim), knowing(plural) good and Evil"[Genesis 3:5]



"..See the the man has become like one of us(plural), knowing good and Evil"[Genesis 3:22]



"..Created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness"[Ephesians, 4:24]



"..I have made you(Moses) like God to Pharaoh.."[Exodus 7:1]



"..And the house of David will be like God.."[Zechariah, 12:8]



No one like of God...



"Tomorrow," Pharaoh said. Moses replied, "it will be as you say, so that you may know there is NO ONE LIKE THE LORD OUR GOD"[Exodus 8:10]



"..I am God, and there is none like me"[The Bible, isaiah 46:9]



"Our Likeness" only and only means knowing Good and Evil in Bible.



"But After they had moved it, THE LORD'S HAND WAS AGAINST THAT CITY..."[1 Samuel, 5:9]



The Verse obviouly are not talking about Gods physical Arm, Hand and fingers



"...How should WE answer these people who say to me.."[2 chronicles, 10:9]



"..That WE may return answer to this people.."[2 chronicles, 10:9 from Kjv]



See Solomon used himself as "WE" because Old days King to refer to himself and only Himself as "WE" Its Plural royalite.



"in the beginning God (Elohim, plural) created the heavens and the earth" [Genesis 1:1]



God used Plural in Genesis 1:1



"..And God said, let us(Plural) make man in our(plural) our Image, after our(plural) Likeness.."[Genesis 1:26]



read Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:26 both used in plural



The Hebrew word usually translated God, Elohim, is in Plural, and The plural pronoun "us" is used.



Note: El is God in Hebrew, its singular. Elohim is Gods in Hebrew, its Plural. Many times God referred himself as Elohim. Its plural royality. There have nothing about Trinity. Old days king referred himself as plural. God is KING of kings.



People called Jesus as "Lord" so Jesus was God?



He is called "lord" in the same way as Prophet Abraham called.



"Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?" [Genesis 18:12 from Kjv]



"So Sarah laughted to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is Old, will I now have this pleasure?" [Genesis 18:12 from Niv]



"Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughter ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement" [1 peter 3:6 from Kjv]



"Like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her Master.."[1 peter 3:6 from Niv]



Also like Issac son Easu



"..Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Easu.." [Genesis 32:4 from Kjv]



He instructed them: "This is what u are to say to my Master Easu.." [Genesis 32:4 from Niv]



Like Joseph



"And we send unto my lord, we have a father, an old man...."[Genesis 44:20]



like David:



"She fell at his(David) feet and said to David: "My lord, let the blame be on me Alone..." [1 Samuel, 25:24]



Holy spirit is God?



According to Bible God have many spirit. Even God have evil spirit and laying spirit



"Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, AND AN EVIL SPIRIT FROM THE LORD tormented him"[1 Samuel 16:14]



see >>"AN EVIL SPIRIT FROM THE LORD"



Saul's attendants said to him, "see, AN EVIL SPIRIT FROM GOD is tormenting you"[1 samuel 16:15]



read >>"see, AN EVIL SPIRIT FROM GOD is tormenting you"



"Then God sent an Evil Spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem.."[Judges 9:23]



"And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon saul.."[1 samuel, 18:10]



"..Behold the Lord hath put a LAYING SPIRIT in the mouth of all these thy prophets.."[1 kings 22:23]



"'I WILL GO AND BE A LAYING SPIRIT in the mouth of all his prophets,' he said." You will succeed in enticing him,' said the LORD. 'Go and do it' [2 Chronicles, 18:21]



If God spirit himself is God then evil spirit and laying spirit also God!



Jesus was Son of God so he was God?



Bible have many Son of God name. Its not mean literally God have any Son!!!



"..Adam, which was the son of God" [luke 3:38]



"..Israel (jacob) is my son, even MY firstborn"[exodus 4:22]



"For i (GOD) am a father to israel, and Epharim is My firstborn"[jeremiah 31:9]



"..The lord hath said unto me (David): 'Thou art MY Son: this day have i begotten thee"[psalms 2:7]



So David is also Gods begotten son. The meaning of "Son of God" is not literal but metaphorical.



It can be anyone who is beloved by God.



Jesus also said that God is not only his Father but also ur Father(Matthew 5:45, 48)



"that you may be sons of ur Father in heaven..."[Matthew 5:45]



"Be Perfect, therefore, as ur heavenly Father is perfect"[Matthew 5:48]



"For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God"[Romans 18:14]



"He (Solomon) shall build a house for My Name, and i will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I WILL BE HIS (SOLOMON) FATHER AND HE SHALL BE MY SON"[1 chronicles 22:10]



You will see in many passages of the Bible "Son of God " which signifies Love and affection, nearness to God, not applied to Jesus Alone.



You will see sons and daughters of God in 2 corinthians 6:18
