Why did Jesus say that He is the Son of God in heaven, If He were God?

Question

Jesus rose in the flesh, and is setting beside His Father. Why don't people believe in the Son of God?The people that think He is God, don't believe in the Son of God.

Answer 1

Thats a good question:





The Bible teaches that Jesus lived in heaven before he came to earth. Micah prophesied that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem and also said that His origin was “from early times.” (Micah 5:2) On many occasions, Jesus himself said that he lived in heaven before being born as a human. (John 3:13; 6:38, 62; 17:4, 5) As a spirit creature in heaven, Jesus had a special relationship with Jehovah.



Jesus is Jehovah’s most precious Son—and for good reason. He is called “the firstborn of all creation,” for he was God’s first creation. (Colossians 1:15) There is something else that makes this Son special. He is the “only-begotten Son.” (John 3:16) This means that Jesus is the only one directly created by God. Jesus is also the only one whom God used when He created all other things. (Colossians 1:16) Then, too, Jesus is called “the Word.” (John 1:14) This tells us that he spoke for God, no doubt delivering messages and instructions to the Father’s other sons, both spirit and human.



Is the firstborn Son equal to God, as some believe? That is not what the Bible teaches. As we noted in the preceding paragraph, the Son was created. Obviously, then, he had a beginning, whereas Jehovah God has no beginning or end. (Psalm 90:2) The only-begotten Son never even considered trying to be equal to his Father. The Bible clearly teaches that the Father is greater than the Son. (John 14:28; 1 Corinthians 11:3) Jehovah alone is “God Almighty.” (Genesis 17:1) Therefore, he has no equal.



Jehovah and his firstborn Son enjoyed close association for billions of years—long before the starry heavens and the earth were created. How they must have loved each other! (John 3:35; 14:31) This dear Son was just like his Father. That is why the Bible refers to the Son as “the image of the invisible God.” (Colossians 1:15) Yes, even as a human son may closely resemble his father in various ways, this heavenly Son reflected his Father’s qualities and personality.



Jehovah’s only-begotten Son willingly left heaven and came down to earth to live as a human. But you may wonder, ‘How was it possible for a spirit creature to be born as a human?’ To accomplish this, Jehovah performed a miracle. He transferred the life of his firstborn Son from heaven to the womb of a Jewish virgin named Mary. No human father was involved. Mary thus gave birth to a perfect son and named him Jesus.—Luke 1:30-35.

Answer 2

To understand this, you need to understand the concept of the Trinity.



The Trinity is one God existing in three Persons. Understand that this is not in any way suggesting three Gods. Keep in mind when studying this subject that the word “Trinity” is not found in Scripture. This is a term that is used to attempt to describe the triune God—three coexistent, co-eternal Persons who make up God. Of real importance is that the concept represented by the word “Trinity” does exist in Scripture. The following is what God’s Word says about the Trinity:



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.



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.



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.



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.



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.

Answer 3

there is yet one God. There may well be yet one God, by fact God, being extraordinary and countless, won't be able to have an equivalent. In God there are 3 Divine persons, relatively diverse, and equivalent in all issues-the daddy, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. the daddy is God and the 1st individual of the Blessed Trinity. The Son is God and the 2d individual of the Blessed Trinity. The Holy Ghost is God and the 0.33 individual of the Blessed Trinity. The Blessed Trinity is one God in 3 Divine persons. the three Divine people are one and a similar God, having one and a similar Divine nature.

Answer 4

God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are all God. The Word of God became a man on this earth by the miracle conception involving The Holy Spirit and through a normal birth, involving the woman Mary. Jesus came to the earth to die in our place for our sins to show us how much He loves us.



The scriptures bear abundant testimony that Jesus Christ is God. I believe the Bible 100%. It is the word of God. If we don't believe it, Jesus is of no effect to us and we are still in our sins."

-

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, AND DWELT AMONG US, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

--John 1:1-4, 14



"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD was manifest in the FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED ON in the world, RECEIVED UP into glory."

--1 Timothy 3:16

Answer 8

Dear Friend,



Because the Son of God is one of his "five key titles", signifying one of the primary characteristics of His being:



"Son of God" - the name Son of God was also applied to Jesus in an official or messianic sense (Matt. 4:3, 6; 16:16; Luke 22:70; John 1:49). It speaks of His deity - that He was a Person of the triune Godhead, supernaturally born as a human being into this world to accomplish the divine mission of enabling man to return to a right relationship with God.



"Messiah" (or Christos, Christ in Greek) - a title applied to Jesus in the New Testament, Christos is the Greek translation for the Hebrew term Meshiah, or Messiah. It means "the Anointed One" - signifying the Jesus was anointed to His mission by God the Father.



"Yeshuah" (Joshua, or Jesus, in Greek) - means "God is Savior", signifying the role that He plays in saving God's people from sin, their fallen state, and redeeming them back into a right relationship with the Creator.



"Son of Man" - was a term often used by Jesus Himself, to convey that He was not only truly God but also truly man. The gospel according to John recounts that the eternal Word (Logos) was "made flesh, and dwelt among us", and "we beheld His glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father". He was born into mankind as a baby, grew up into manhood, was tempted like us "in every way", and yet "knew no sin". He did many miracles to attest to His divine nature, but also felt hunger and pain just like the rest of us. Yes, He was the eternal Son of God, but He was also fully the Son of Man.



This title is also a claim that He was the fulfillment of a prophecy in Daniel about a "Son of Man" who would come "in the clouds with great power". It was when Jesus told the High Priest that 'he would see the Son on Man coming in the clouds with great power' that the priest tore his vestments. Why? He knew that Jesus was claiming to be this divine 'Son of Man' written of by Daniel.



"Lord" (Adonai) - Jesus is also referred to as "Lord", or "Lord Jesus Christ". This title speaks of his position as master or "lord", with His followers of course being His servants. The point is that everyone serves something or someone - if its not money, power, position, its often him/her self. Jesus said 'man cannot serve two masters - you cannot serve both God and money'. Choose to serve the Lord Jesus, the eternal Word of God made flesh.
