So?
Is Jesus God or son of God.
This is a great controversy in Christianity. So it's important we look into it.
Let's start in old testament,
Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Consider carefully these words,
It is where you understand the potency of God, in short it's telling us that Almighty has a son, but in this times of old testament, he was not revealed.
In the beginning Gods said
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
What I need you to focus on is plurality of this statement. He said, 'LET US' which in this context means someone with authority giving out directions. Here it's very important to understand.
Ask yourself, was Jesus brought by Mary, let's see what bible says
Jesus was confessing that
Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
That HE saw Satan fall like lighting, it's either he saw or he didn't, and if he saw then it must be that he was in heaven for it's written in
Revelation 12:7-8 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Also it's written
John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
Where the son of man was before,
Therefore Jesus was not brought by Mary, but Jesus was from beginning,
So Jesus is the one who was with Moses, Gideon, Abraham, Isaac, King David prophet Samuel, prophet Joel, He's the one visited Ezekiel as it's described in
Ezekiel 1:5-25 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
So This is Jesus Glory,
The controversy is that He who was with these people is God. This is very true because Jesus is Our God.
Now the big question comes when Jesus kept saying that He's sent from father, also he said on the cross Eloi Eloi which translate to father father why has you forsaken me.
So who is father then?
Do you remember what happened in the beginning, ' LET US CREATE MAN'
As I told you that this verse is a game changer because Jesus is among them for a trinity says It's Father, son and an angel of lord or holy spirit,
But who is son?
John 1:1-4 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.
If you continue to read in this chapter you'll learn that
John 1:14 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.
Now therefore Jesus or it's said the word created us for himself and since he's the one created men he is God to us but in heaven he is a son.
Consider this
John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
In conclusion to this whether Jesus is God or son of God! It depends on perspective from which side, if it's from earth Then He's our God but if it's from Heaven then He's son of God.
Amen
