in the mind of God, the Jesus to be was the firstborn of creation and all other things were created, on account of, by reason of, for the sake of him. Col 1:15, 16, Rev 3:14, 13:8 etc.
The children of Israel are all sons of GodExodus (Chapter 4),
'Thus says the LORD, “Israel is My son, My firstborn.
Here the children of Israel are all distinguished by:
1- They were called sons of God
2- They were distinguished by the title of firstborn and thus they are according to the Holy Book the first sons of God and no one preceded them
Solomon, peace be upon him, the son of God
1 Chronicles (Chapter 22)
He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
Here Solomon, peace be upon him,
1- He was called the son of God
2- His kingdom will be established forever
3- He existed from eternity before God created anything and thus the Christians’ argument that Jesus existed from eternity with the Father and the Holy Spirit alone was invalidated because Solomon, peace be upon him, also existed from eternity
we know the gospel authors were not eyewitnesses to the life or crucifixion of Jesus.
the writers of the Gospels were not present at this event at all, and they did not tell of something that they had seen so that we would have to believe them. Rather they narrated reports that were transmitted by people in their own era, which were not necessarily true. Rather we must examine them, because they may be true or they may be false.
If we examine what the Gospels say about the crucifixion and the events surrounding it, we will find that they differ about it from beginning to end.
It is sufficient to refer to what the Gospels say about the arrest and trial of Jesus, the timing of the crucifixion (day and hour), the cry of despair from the cross, the witnesses to the crucifixion, the resurrection from the grave… and so on, all of that and much more. It is sufficient to say that the Gospels differed greatly concerning that, which causes one to lose trust in all of these views, and the researcher does not know which of the Gospels to accept and which to reject.
How Can you Prove Jesus was not Crucified, Dr. Zakir Naik
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. (John 1:14)
We must note - first of all - that these words mentioned in the Gospel of John are not the words of “Christ,” but rather the words of “John.” Christ did not say such words at all.
Christ never said that He was the Word
With extensive study and knowledge, we will find that they are the words of a Jewish person named (Philo of Alexandria) (20 BC - 40 AD) who lived in the Hellenistic era in Alexandria. He was a philosopher and thinker who was influenced by Greek philosophy.
It is known that John wrote his Gospel after the death of Philo and borrowed the term from him.the Word
Then if the Word is God and the Word became flesh, this means God becoming flesh, and this is a change in God, and their book says 6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. [Malachi 3:6]
