How many sons does God have?

You do realize campbell that "GOD " is a generic term? That the name of our creator is not GOD?

Psalm 82 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty ; he judgeth among the gods...... Notice the plural gods


John 10:34 Jesus said Is it not written in your law that I said ye are Gods? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

Say ye of him whom the father has sanctified and sent unto the world, thou blasphemeth because I said I am the son of God. ......notice again the plural gods and these are the words of jesus himself.


And how many sons of Gods are there Campbell? No way of counting but it appears that in genesis 6:1 there are many

Genesis 6:2 the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair and took them wifes all of which they chose.

Campbell you really have to do some extensive study with Gods help to learn that the English translation of the bible leaves much to be desired.

The word God is often used in our english translation where the word Lord, ruler, official would have been used in the original greek and hebrew.

So I agree Christ Jesus is Lord, is ruler, is a God , but he is not the one true God . Christ is not the Father Yewah. Christ is a son as you and I are sons and daughters of God and Christ was sanctified to die for our sins a sacrifice for many. And 1st Corinthians tells us that when Jesus finishes this task he will turn the whole thing back over to the one real God the great I am Yewah .The Father , the one who's name we probably still do not know.

Read the entire first chapter of Hebrews its a love letter to Jesus and explains that he was chosen by the creator to serve the purpose he did and that has set him above all of us. But Christ is not God.

I am sad now. It is really sad, that satan has been so able to distort the Holy word in the English language.

well Genesis 6:2 says they were sons of God who married the daughters of men.

You can't have it both ways campbell. You cannot take one verse of scripture and call it the truth and then not believe everything it says.

You are repeating the teachings of men campbell . You need to seek the truth for yourself and not believe everything you hear in church.

Yes it was ok for God to ask Abraham to sacrifice his son, because God knew He would never allow Abraham to do it. And yes it was ok to kill off the worlds population of part human's that were evil. God is the taker and giver of life. If God had not done this, you might be 16 foot tall today, and sporting a pair of horns.
Yes there was a book of Satan written back in the 60s however there are many other books that go along with such. Involving spells ect. Satan is highly thought of in certain religious circles. Apparently there are children who have been sacrificed to other Gods and this is even mentioned in the Bible. So my question was if people believe it is ok to sacrifice children in the name of their God, does this make them wrong? After all, according to you, we are all worshiping the same God. Seriously

So your telling me that it is ok for man to murder, kill, and rape, because God ordained this? And why would you want to reduce evil to a minimum if this is what God ordained?

God did not send giants to bother earthly females, these were fallen angles that appeared as humans, it was their offspring that became giants. FREE WILL was given to us by God. You don't want to believe in free will, but it's all around us. That's why the world is in such turmoil. It is the evil nature of man that has brought us to where we are today. FREE WILL gives man the right to make choices. You can choose to do good before God, or you can choose to do evil. It's your choice.

It was God's creation of fallen angles that the Bible tells us left their first estates and inner married with human kind. The angles like humans had free will to choose good or evil. They cohabited with humans against Gods will, and this was just another part of the rebellion. The offspring was nolonger fully human and became very evil. The Bible is clear on this. To get the human race back, God had to do away with this nonhuman race, which left only noah and his family.

The Father said, there is no God formed before Him and there will be no God formed after Him.
He ALONE created all things by HIMSELF. Do you agree with the Fathers statement. YES or NO.

Many beings are Gods compared to regular men.

Campbell

I am posting with you in the spirit of study between us. Let me just say first off that if you are just trying to argue with me, I will stop.

I happen to know that no man can understand the scriptures unless God opens his eyes and mind to them. I believe God works in wonderous ways and he uses opportunities any time people talk to reach people he wants to learn . I certainly know he does that with me. I now know only what God has allowed me to know and I used to think a whole lot like you. But God has taught me some different things than he has you at this moment in time.

Christ says in the bible that Christians are fed different foods that prgress in strength as they are able and needful to receive them .

Water, milk, wine, bread, and meat are the foods Christ said all christians receive . And he warned us not to try to feed meat to babes in christ who should be on milk and bread.

So if you want to study together fine. But this seems to be taking a argumentative tone with you and your slurrs about other denominations of christians and I won't go that route with you.




Okay Campbell here again you are adding to the words of the bible.

God said there was no God before him..... This is a complete and true statement per the bible.

BUT

I have never seen it in the bible where he says no God will be formed after him, I know that you will look that up, and post it if you find it please. I could be wrong.

Then answer me this question because it appears others are called gods in the bible. Let me give you a couple of examples of where this happens in scripture.

In Psalms 82

God standeth in the congegation of the mighty he judges among the gods.

Now notice that KJV capitalizes the first God meaning it is the one true God , then in the KJV the second gods, is in lower case and plural meaning gods ( more than one) and the lower case meaning not the one true God.

Who are these gods campbell?


John 10: 34 Jesus answered them and said: Is it not written in your law , I said ye are gods?

If he called them gods unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

Say ye of him whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blaspemeth because I said, I am the Son of God


Now again campbell we see that we have capital God and small case gods which the translators used to denote a proper name or title from a not specific name or title.

Also note that the KJV translators capitalized SON to show it as a proper name of a specific person.

So again here campbell who are the gods jesus himself is speaking of here if there are not other gods who obviously were created after the one true God the father of all men, heavenly beings and gods per the bible in lower case?

The Gods in question are all who have been born into the family of Christ. God has given us the power to become the Sons of God. The verse in question is Isaiah 43:10 Before me no God was formed, nor will there be one after me. This verse is not talking about Christians who have become the Sons of God, it is talking about a God the would be greater in power than Jehovah. God is simply pointing out that there is only one true God.

That is a verse I was not thinking about. How strange acontradiction in the bible. But due to translation errors there are many.

I will look it up in my greek hebrew program when I get time to see if its a mistranslation.

I have been meaning to study the Gods , Lords and such anyway for clarifty when the spirit gives leave.

Campbell you and I are on a completely different page.

And I have found after a long and active life that you cannot talk to all people rationally.

So I give up where you are concerned.

Let me know if you ever feel led to have a rational discussion about the bible.

Because I am sure the Holy Spirit will have to rap you on the head to make that happen.

Peace and love my brother.

Well thats usually the responce I get from people who have connections with the Watch Tower Society. You are right, we are on a different page, especially if you have bought into the New World Translation. Even though most scholars have condemnded this translation as more of a perversion than a translation, those who follow the Society faithfully ignore those scholars. And of course, anyone who does not agree with the thinking of the Society is simply not rational.

I would have thought that since both of you believe in and have encountered demons and angels, that you could find common ground.

Go figure.

Well campbell its clear if you read the bible that most of those who think they belong to God and are perfectly following his will will be told by the Lord Jesus depart from me ye workers of eniguity I knew you not.

I will take my chances that those who think like you will be the ones the Lord does not know.

And that those who have been taught at the knee of the holy spirit likje myself are the ones who will be welcomed into the kingdom of heaven and hear well done good and profitable servant.

But be sure that I will praying for mercy for the likes of you while I recieve my welcome and reward into Gods blessings.

Good luck to you and I really mean it, you will need it.:thumbup:

I;m pulling for people that are stubborn and bullies like you, I have many such people in my own familiy.
