The Lord Jesus is the only unique Son of God. The Lord Jesus has always been the eternal Son of God. While Christians are ADOPTED sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. The Lord Jesus was never adopted. He is the eternal Son of God.

The Lord Jesus:
Joh 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Christians:
Eph 1:5 having predestined us to [U]adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

hmmmm ~~~ parang pang commercial
(gomenansai)
my answer:
We are God's children, created unto God's image and likeness, but we lost the title because of Adam and Eve's fall.
To bring back the title is through Jesus Christ.
Stacie Fil
10-11-2007, 08:30 PM
Anong commercial ba naisip mo?
Oo nga, pero sabi mo eh na "lost title" ba ga.
So, to bring back ika mo is to connect to Jesus. What are we nga daw?
Halimbawa like the wild olive shoots eh nag connect ka na nga. Ano na after that? Walang sasagot nang kabit, sabit o dikit, korning commercial yon.:D :bite: :lol:
If Jesus is the only true son of God, what are we???:O :scratch:

we are all by nature children of wrath:
Eph 2:3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
God sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins and resurrect again. When any of the Sons of Adam [who are by nature children of wrath] puts their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. He becomes born again and have become ADOPTED sons of God.
The Lord Jesus was never adopted. Sinners who have trusted in Christ alone for salvation[Christians] are.

hmm..ok...
i was raised catholic....i believe there was a Jesus Christ, i agree with his teachings because it's all good....morality wise..
but sometimes i do question some of the teachings of the catholic church because some of it were actually not written on the bible....
"trinity" for example.....is not written on the bible...
Jesus being a God or man....

He becomes born again and have become ADOPTED sons of God.
so where is it written in the Bible that we are adopted sons of God? If we were not originally God's son, then who were we originally sons of? the Earth? our mothers? sons of Eve? sons of an evolved monkey?

Nagtatanong lang po... Bakit parang ikaw ang gigil na gigil sa tanong ko? Wala akong intention to create any negativity here, much more mang-away ng tao. Nagtanong lang ako... Sus naman... Ang dami mo na agad sinabi. Kung may sama ka ng loob sa tanong ko message me in private at doon mo ako tirahin ms. Dianne.
What is a Christian? One who follows Christ.. Yan lang po..
Please lang, don't make it personal at pati pagiging Kristyano ko titirahin mo. Ni hindi nga kumibo si Shin sa tanong ko.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh....
Nayayabangan ka sa akin? Hindi pa ako nagyabang dahil wala ako sa position na magyabang dahil wala akong ipagyayabang. Without Christ I am nothing. Hindi ako nag-iisip na walang isasagot ang tao pag nagtanong ako. Pati ba naman ako, ms. Dianne?

medyo lang kasi may discrepancy sa question, "only true son of God", wala pong ginamit na "true son of God" sa bible at ang "only" ay ginamit sa "only begotten son" na naipaliwanag na ni Ironside. "only begotten" sa original greek ay monogenes, which means naiiba o "single of it's kind".

Tama si Alexb at Ironside: John 3:16: For God so Love the World for He Sent His Only Begotten Son and If whosoever Believeth in Him Shall not perish but has Eternal Life................
In my opinion, we are the "Visible Sons of God". God is invisible , God is word and God is Love. In order for God to be visible; he created Adan and Eve centering in True Love. If Adan and Eve fulfilled the Providence of God, they will serve as our True Parents. But Adan and Eve failed to follow the providence of God; the "Fall of Man Follows" generation by generation and ends up to our Generation.
Since christians follows the teachings of Jesus which came from the teachings of ancient forefathers which they received thru words of God then; we are the visible sons of God....

I think there's a big problem with the author's BIBLE TRANSLATION, or the way the author understand the scripture written in whole, I wanted to know the tranlation the author used. I clicked on the verses and they are errors on my browser.
I checked out the early verses in Genesis, and that is totally different the way i understand it here in my Bible. KJV
I can give correct explanation on these, but it will take me too much time here in front of the monitor. If you want a pace by pace explanation, i could, but i consider that before i can do that, many will already arise comments, better and worst.

i think most of the inconsistencies are ok if they are very minor like:
MT 17:1-2 The Transfiguration occurs six days after Jesus foretells his suffering.
LK 9:28-29 It takes place about eight days afterwards.
or even if they are philosophical vs. practical:
MT 26:52 Dispose of swords. All who take the sword will perish by it. (means renounce violence)
LK 22:36-38 Buy swords (be prepared to defend yourself from animals, thieves, etc)
But some contradictions are more serious, because it deals with personal issues:
LK 14:26 No one can be a disciple of Jesus unless he hates his parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters.
1JN 3:15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer.
1JN 4:20 If anyone claims to love God but hates his brother, he is a liar.
.. or matters of Faith:
LK 23:43 Jesus promises one of those crucified with him that they will be together, that very day, in Paradise.
JN 20:17, AC 1:3 Jesus was not raised until the third day and did not ascend until at least forty days later.
of course, the biggest contradiction is the one which is the basis for all of Christianity:
JN 10:30 Jesus says that he and the Father are one.
MT 27:46 Jesus asks God, the Father, why he has been forsaken.
----
on a side note, what does Matthew 11: 14 mean about John the Baptist and Elijah? One of the inconsistencies is that Jesus said John the Baptist was Elijah (if you are willing to accept it). But John the Baptist says he wasn't Elijah.

God is a God of order. Kung makikitaan ng contradiction ang mga sinulat Niya, wala ng maniniwala pa sa Diyos at magkakaron ng chaos. Wala ng babalanse pa sa mga tao. :)

my best friend is a Christian exorcist, my 2nd best friend became a priest, and my other close friend became a campus minister. They couldn't answer in detail about Trinity, Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, etc. I've also confronted a priest-like person from a Christian Order (i don't want to give details) and he ended up almost crying when i debated with him about the 'other Gospels' and the contradictories in the Bible. None of them could answer effectively. I've also tried born-again, ADD (don't get into that ADD-INC mess pleeeez it's so stupid :bonk: ), Adventists and they all couldn't answer the tough questions. They all say "We'll pray for you" or "Leave it to Faith". To me it was similar to "Bahala na si Batman" o "Be good or else Santa Claus won't give you gifts"
I go to a Hindu Yoga group (and no, it wasn't SriSri Ravi Shankar's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Sri_Ravi_Shankar ) :halo: ) and asked them all the same questions and in one week, EVERYTHING was answered. I reviewed these answers with Buddhism and Buddhism verified these answers. I reviewed it with most Eastern religions (Vedanta, Sikhism, Bahai, Saivism, Zen, name it I've read about it) and they verified it as well. I reviewed these with the occult and they veified them as well
So now, when someone asks me about God or why there are so many religions, or why there is suffering, I can answer them very well and give real effective advice, and not simply say "Leave it to Faith". It also has made me healthier since I'm vegetarian and I've been taught the benefits and logic behind fasting, avoiding alcohol, coffee, waking up early, etc. My understanding and appreciation of foreigners and other cultures also was raised and I respect Islam and Hindus more (I personally like Sikhism among the major religions) :D

so what am i gonna do? talk to a book? sus...
if you ask me whether I asked God, yes I did (I spent time in the occult since my friend was a Christian exorcist). I told God that Christianity is a dead end and I want to try other religions but I was afraid of going to hell and was unsure (because of fear, I was procrastinating), so I needed a sign (like most Christians do). The next day, I went to Baclaran Church to start a novena, but the moment I arrived, the Gospel reading was being done. It (and the homily afterwards) emphasized on Matthew 3:15. 'John' is my other name. I took that reading as a 'green light' to switch. The next day, I met a Hindu yogi who coincidentally just arrived in the country, who then initiated me into Eastern Spirituality. The sheer coincidence in timing (to the nearest second) and sequence of all the events then was statistically improbable :halo:

The next day, I went to Baclaran Church to start a novena, but the moment I arrived, the Gospel reading was being done. It (and the homily afterwards) emphasized on Matthew 3:15.

hahaha, nagiging pilosopo ka na ha. "talk to a book" di mga bobo sa bible mga kausap mo dito. you very well know what I mean.
tanong- would God contradict Himself? Sinabi Niya na paniwalaan si Cristo tapos may taong magtatanong sa Kanya at sasabihin Niya "try buddha"... ridiculous?

I'm glad you found your answer and God gaved that to you. I guess thats how parents hearts are, the highest kind of love. If you really need to pass through eastern thoughts to make a path towards Him, sure why not.
Other people shaved their heads regularly as to remind them daily on the search for Gods true heart. Others might think of it as bizarre. Hope it won't hinder your relation to your heavenly Father.
JN 10:30 Jesus says that he and the Father are one.
MT 27:46 Jesus asks God, the Father, why he has been forsaken
I think there is nothing wrong or contradictory in here. Medyo nabulagan o naguluhan ka lang siguro hane?
Have you heared of the saying; "kung ano ang puno sya ang bunga" or "pinagbiyak na bunga". O kaya yung; "magkadikit ang pusod" o "tingin/pakiramdam pa lang, alam mo na". Parang ganoon yon.
Then yung kasunod only proves that Heavenly Father in not Jesus, which is the son. Only that they are one in hearts, mind, purpose. Just like Jesus said to his apostle "you in me and I in you" You see Jesus character, you'll understand God big love for men too.

can somebody answer this?
dont get me wrong, I'm a christian.
i believe this question "what are WE?" only pertains to christians(believers of christ). others would have a different answers depending on whom they believe as "GOD".
i think this question is somehow present in every christians who are experiencing some doubts in their spiritual aspect(that includes me, a catholic). if only people who have wide knowledge about this would answer it in a straight manner, people like me would be enlightened. but as i read most of the replies here, more doubts cloud in my mind.
if ever people get confuse on their faith (can i call that "spiritual crisis"?), it is not because someone raise a question like this but because people who have "knowledge" about it don't answer it straight. anyone who could answer it in layman's term and straight, please do.

maybe they are only feigning knowledge regarding the subject. someone raised a question what is the threadstarter's definition of a christian, this for me insinuates that, if you are a true christian...you are supposed to know these things and should not ask. then there's someone pretending to be an expert in the bible but with such arrogance...does not portray a good example of a christian.
to the threadstarter: i won't pretend i know the answer but i'll just give you unsolicited advice. if you wanna know more about your religion, about the bible, you could try to research online. i suggest you read ALL the versions of the bible to compare them. but since you've mentioned you are a catholic, you would have to research also about the code of canon law aside from the bible.
about your second question, i'm not sure how to reply to that with an exact answer. there are some people who just want to be labeled as non-practicing <insert religion here> but still believes in a deity. there are people labeled as "creationists" who believe that there's a god who created everything. oftenly, these people are trying to refute evolution. then there are "agnostics" -- some of them believe in a god but do not want to be associated with their religion, while some do not affirm nor deny the existence of a god. if you are confused on where you should belong, you don't really have to "belong" to a certain group to find your sense of spirituality. like what i've said on the other thread, "perfect religion" is relative.

The spotless Son of God has been given as our example, and those who complain of the wrong course of professed Christians are the ones who should show better lives and nobler examples. If they have so high a conception of what a Christian should be, is not their own sin so much the greater? They know what is right, and yet refuse to do it.

you seem to come from the same side as Dawkins. The ugly thing about Christianity is that when it comes to the time when they look for answers of the existence of their Chrisitan God, they either become fundamentalist Christians or become religion-hater-atheist.
Religions have helped humanity a billion times more than atheism or agnosticism has. It has helped more people than it has killed (Crusades / Jihad). What makes religion dangerous is dogma, which is ultra-strong in Abrahamic relgions, but not much in Eastern religions

At this age...?
A. I guess Smart or clever
Specially of he search for God's heart and not religion alone. Im not saying religion is bad. It is one of God's intrument or move to give way and chance for man to connect and become closer to Him. But man relation should be to God and not in religion.
Because even religion can be corrupted by men. Therefore religion is not the final solution.
If you think forward, like some hundred or thousand of years. Assuming men would find a way to give peace a chance. Where do you think religion would stay. Guess only in books or study materials as part of history education.
If all men face their individual weaknesses towards sinning and fallen acts. Made whole again man's relation to God, thus creating a peaceful environment to live. A heaven here on earth, that surely, qualifies us to continue living in that atmosphere of love up to the spirit world. Like Jesus, when God at all times, dwelll in the hearts of all men. Just like in the beginning, man, like Adam and Eve directly percieve, relate with God...
Remember, the only reason religion came was to help elevate man's position and clear up the fog or blinded minds of men, due to his detachment from his relation to God. (Man's original parent/creator) If man hasn't failed in the first place, and the relation was not cut/tarnish. Would there be a need for religion. Would you look for a doctor when no one is sick, or call a life saver when all is safe at shore. For precaution you think? Ha,ha,ha,...

mas mahirap makipag-debate sa atheist kaysa sa Christian, (but I've beaten atheists too before). i always avoid born-agains as much as possible because if they engage me in debate, they end up crying. it happened to me in the office, when they found out i had "special abilities". madaming nagpapahula at nagpapa-heal sakin, when i proved that i had the ability. the born-agains thought the occult was bad so they tried to 'convert' me by debate. of course, debate team ako nung college, so i defended myself by attacking their faith. ayun umiyak sila. everytime they tried to 'convert' me they end up crying. so they stopped and let me be. i only attack their beliefs if they attack mine, self-defense kung baga. I never tell people to accept Buddha/Krishna/Jesus as their personal savior, it's up to them :)
But, I've always been anti-dogma because it makes people stupid and it creates terrorists. So when I see a fundamentalist (i.e. my religion is better than yours), I try to pop his bubble para equal tayong lahat. When a Vajrayani Buddhist thinks he's superior to a Zen Buddhist or a Shaivite yogi, I point out his the flaws or the 'better points' of the other guy to stabilize everything

I have been in the sidelines reading every post. What is there to debate about? When I share my faith to people who care to listen I don't force them to believe in Jesus down their throats. When God created the heavens and the earth and the people in it God gave us the freedom to choose who and what to believe in. It's your choice and mine. I also avoid to quote verses in the Bible as much as possible. Unless there is an indwelling of the Holy Spirit a person would have a difficult time understanding the things of God.
You seem to be very knowledgeable in your beliefs and that's your choice. Like what infinite_trial had posted, preno preno lang. You are right in posting that born again Christians easily shed tears and I'm not embarrassed to admit that. When the situation calls for it we can do nothing but cry for the people who refuse to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, that the Bible is the final authority. It is not us, it is God's compassion to His lost people, it is God who cries for you and me and I don't force you to believe that.
My Bible says fortune-telling is witchcraft and God abhors it and anyone who practices witchcraft will be thrown to the lake of fire. God is crying out for you for He wants each one of His creation to go back to Him, to be restored and be reconciled.
But again, it's your choice and I pray that God will have mercy on your soul while there is still time. I'm washing my hands right now, in the name of Jesus, in proclaiming that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and that no one can come to the Father but through Him. I am taking the guilt off my chest by sharing the Word of God for whoever will believe will not perish but have eternal life.

^ o tol baka may mapaiyak ka dito, madaming born-again
i have a personally puzzling question to ask born-agains. i don't mean to be offensive, i'm just trying to be scientific/psychologist-ic. Did they become born-agains because they were looking for God, or because they were suffering from something and needed a way to cope with it?
i remember when the born-agains were trying to 'convert' me, during the time they were professing their 'Faith in Jesus', they would subconsciously think of their problems or their sufferings that caused them to become born-agains in the first place (i can read minds in close range). So i did an experiment. My hypothesis was the idea of Jesus was 'burying' the sufferings into the subconscious. If i tried to temporarily remove the idea of Jesus, the sufferings would be 'unburied'. So When I tried to 'neutralize' Jesus out of the equation, they started crying. I think that since the idea of Jesus was 'neutralized' (in the conscious state), the 'subconsious sufferings' crept up to replace it in the conscious state resulting in strong emotion (crying). Does this make any sense?

You are really making me smile, go on to what you want to think. You will really never understand what's happening inside the people who was been renewed by the Spirit of God.
And like what i requested, let's stop making debate and bashing each others belief and knowledge.
As a Christian, converting people is not ours. Ours is to share the knowledge and release the gospel of God. It is God who works inside the heart and soul of people.
So let's just have a separate thread and avoid throwing words that will make reactions on both side. And let everyone enjoy the freedom to come to you, or to come to us.
And all of us will be happy.
