The history of the first century has nothing to do with the virgin birth, Jesus being God in the flesh, and the resurrection. I'm here to discuss the Bible. Good luck.
It has everything to do with it. That is like reading a book about a culture and not having a clue about the era or continent your reading about. Yet you believe in a Jesus but have no idea what his life must of been like.
I bet you don't even know there were two Jesus's in the NT.
There is only one Jesus, the Son of God. There is only one Jesus that died for me and cleansed me from sin. There are many people with the name "Jesus", but only one that created the universe, the Living Word.
Jesus Barabbas and Jesus the Christ , and who did the Jews let go, Jesus Barabbas. No according to the Jewish faith , sons of God were friends of God, and even according to Jesus we are his brothers and sisters, equal.
According to the Jewish faith, who is the "Son of Man"?
Psalm 82:6New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
6 I declare: “Gods though you be,[
a]
offspring of the Most High all of you,
Hosea 1:10King James Version (KJV)
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
John 10
3 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
The above are sons of God
