Isagi Yoichi Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) why christians say Jesus is god and the son of god at the same time? I was talking to a Christian he said that our nature as humans is not divine as Jesus lol. he also said this lol : "Because we are made in the image of God and are not God himself. Genesis 1:26 ESV [26] Then 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 birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Message #christianity" Edited April 2 by Isagi Yoichi Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony just gets deeper and darker, the harder they seem to "believe". Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Long Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 As far as the son of God thing, it's interesting that the Jesus cycle coincides with the waning and waxing of the "sun". In a person's birth chart the position of the sun informs the sense of "self". But where is the boundary between self and other?

All resurrection gods are based on the sun cycle, from Horace to Jesus, that's why Christian holidays are the same days as the pagan ones and the ones before that.

It isn’t, as in the belief (our nature as humans) is obscuring. 1 hour ago, Isagi Yoichi said: he also said this lol : "Because we are made in the image of God and are not God himself.

Links Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I've had to re-write this post because I thought that "Son of God" isn't a Jewish term, but a Greco-Roman Pagan one: there were numerous demigods and demigoddesses born with mixed parentage of divine & human. Eg Hercules, Achilles, Aeneas, Helen of Troy. However I just found out that "Son of God" appears several times in the Old Testament (Genesis 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7; Hosea 1:10) . But how to reconcile being a Son of God and God at the same time? And 'God the Father' wasn't his father in the nativity story anyway, it was the Holy Spirit which came to Mary. My amateur guess would be that the early church leaders wanted to attract both Jews and Pagans into their new religion, and were creating a hybrid theology to appeal to both.
