son of god

  • A Clash of Empires

    In first century Israel, Jesus was tortured and executed brutally by the Roman Empire. What was the reason? Did the Empire accomplish its goal in killing him?

  • A Different Emperor

    Jesus preaches the Empire of God that he will bring to the Earth and rule it as its Emperor. What kind of an Emperor would he be? What taste does he give us of his upcoming rule in his teachings, parables and miracles?

  • Jesus Feeds the Multitude

    Jesus feeds thousands of people in the wilderness. How does he manage that feat? Does he turn stones into bread? Or does he demand his followers do something for such a miracle to happen?

  • Jesus in the Roman Empire

    When Jesus enters the scene, what was the state of the society in Israel under the Roman Empire? And why was the title 'son of god' so controversial in those times? Who was its original owner?

  • Like Father, Like Son!

    Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament is usually portrayed as an angry, vengeful god who somehow became benevolent in the New Testament with the arrival of his son. Is this an accurate depiction?

  • The 'No Beginning' Question

    Trinitarians promote the theory that God and Jesus always existed eternally – with no beginning. If the question is asked whether Jesus and God will always exist, then the answer is yes, according to the Scriptures. But if the question is about whether God and Jesus both did not have a beginning, then the answer has to be researched further from the Scriptures. Let us look at some passages on this topic. Also the terms Father and Son themselves help us understand it better.

  • The Co-Equality Question

    He answered them, ‘My Father is working until now, and I myself am working.’ For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God (John 5:17-18). Although it doesn't mention the Holy Spirit, this verse is usually quoted to support a co-equal trinity. Let us study this verse's context and also look at other passages where Jesus directly states what kind of relationship he has with the Father.

  • The Trial of Jesus in the Wilderness

    Before Jesus commences his ministry, he is taken to the wilderness and tested. What is the significance of his first trial? How is it connected to the history of Israel and the Empires that oppressed the people?

  • Who is Jesus Christ?

    ‘There are many gods and many lords, yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ’ (1Corinthians 8:5-6 NASB)
    Having confirmed the Father as our God, the Apostle says we have one Lord as well – Jesus Christ. As we saw before, this Lord is notthe same word as the LORD (all capitals) Yahweh. This Lord (Greek:Kurios) means Master. Paul is saying we have one God, the Father and one Master, Jesus Christ. Why is Jesus our Master?
