on the true nature of Jesus, i think they believed different things. one thing IMO they agreed on, Jesus was greater than your everyday typical teacher.
when you look at their writings they seem to make a distinction between the Son and the Father.
Son.
Is Jesus the biological son of God?
As cited earlier in this book, the only verse that quotes Jesus to be the begotten son is taken out as a fabrication. There is not a single verse in the bible that
says Jesus is the begotten son of the almighty god. But the bible does call him the son and he does refer to god as the father.
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” – Matthew 3:16
Some would find it incongruous that the bible also calls him Son of Man many times in the bible.
Jesus replied, “Foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” – Matthew 7:28
Jesus also refers to God as your father in the bible. The word Abba and bene (Father and Son in Hebrew) biblically does not mean to claim that either you
are the begotten son of God or God is your biological father.
In the Gospel of Matthews Jesus refers to God as “Your Father” thirteen times before he calls God by the words “My Father” for the first time. But people completely ignore all the verses except the one where the words “My Father” is contained. Thus, when Jesus tells you “Your Father” does that make you also God or that you are biological sons of God?
Other Sons of God in the Bible
There are other sons in the bible. It is a generic term for Godly person (Bene Elohim or Son of God in Hebrew).
The sons of God saw that these daughters were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. – Genesis 6:2
For those who insist that when Jesus is referred to as son it is a biological relationship, here is some news, God has older sons and he calls them first born. Does that mean they are more important than Jesus?
Then say to Pharaoh, This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son - Exodus 4:22
They will come with weeping; they will pray as I bring them back. I will lead them beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble, because
I am Israel’s father, and Ephraim is my firstborn son. – Jeremiah 31:9
The New Testament proclaims that anyone Godly is a Son of God. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God – Romans 8:14
This is why some bible scribes inserted the begotten word only to be removed later due to it being recognised as fallacy, because the scripture does not have
solid evidence that Jesus is the begotten son of God though the church teaches it. 1 john 4:9 is the verse the church has been using to strategise the begotten
son concept where the Greek word used is “Monogeni” which means “only son” whereas when it comes to the Old Testament others are called
“Prototokos” or “first born” which is a higher position. Firstborn son is the heir to the father’s throne, the one who will carry his legacy and the guardian
over the family when he as the father is gone. If Jesus is the begotten or biological son of God then the first born or the eldest son is the heir to Gods
throne. Does that make Jesus any lesser in importance?
The duplicity is to add the word “begotten” to a text that does not contain that it.
Children of God
The bible explains that it is possible for all of us to be children of God.
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! – 1 John 3:1
The scripture goes on to explain that the righteous are born of God and his seed remains in them Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the
Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. Those who are born of God will not continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they
cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Those
who do not do what is right are not God’s children; nor are those who do not love their brothers and sisters. – 1 John 3:7-10
