Hobbit said:While I don't try to understand the true relationship between God and Jesus, I still believe Jesus being God's son means a lot more than you or me being God's son. Jesus was, simply put, God in a human body. He never sinned, performed many miracles, and had a connection to God that none of us could hope to comprehend in this life. While I don't take the "Jesus, the son of the living God" as literally as the Muslims, who think Christians believe that God had sex with Mary (blasphemous, to say the least, no wonder they hate us), I think it means a lot more than us as children of God. I kinda like to think of humans as being the 'adopted' children, since we're born completely ignorant of God and only later become his children.
Great.... You have every right to believe Jesus was more than just another one of the creations of the UNKNOWABLE and UNFATHONABLE Master of the universe. You think of mankind as being completely ignornant of G-d but 'adopted' children of G-d but long before Jesus Christ of Nazareth, G-d's children knew of the Creator.
You see only selective metaphors in the KJV. But unfortunately everyone sees something different when they read the English revisons of the Bible.
Remember those Hebrew words from Exodus 4:22, the same ones that Jesus Christ knew before Paul claimed divinity for Jesus. You speak of Paul and the Gospel writers as if they were writing down the events in Jesus life as they were occurring.
The originals that Jesus knew during his missionary work on earth or those words written much later by Paul of Tarsus and the Gospel authors. Which is the metaphor?
