IS JESUS THE SON OF GOD?

 There is one Old Testament passage that mentions the “Son of God” by name: 

I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God, (Dan 3:25)

 King Nebuchadnezzar said that and was humbled by the Presence of the Son of God. He had an epiphany, the same as the magi, as it is written, “They saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him” (Mat 2:11).

The magi saw the Son of God. That was an epiphany; the same manifestation of the Messiah/the Christ that Nebuchadnezzar had seen.

Now, for some work: Nebuchadnezzar beheld four men; the three young men and a fourth whose appearance — bodily shape — could be compared to the “Son of God.”

Luke saw that same appearance when Jesus came up out of the water at His baptism of the Holy Ghost, “And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a Voice came from heaven, which said, ‘Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased’” (Luke 3:22).

The Holy Ghost is the invisible image of God, the Father, and is the Spirit that emanates from Him, “…the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name…” (John 14:26).

What happened at the birth of Jesus? An angel of God revealed to Mary the conception of Jesus: 

And the angel answered and said unto her, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore, also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35)

 The Holy Ghost that would overshadow Mary was literally the Holy Thing’s pneuma, translated as “Ghost.”

The dynamis — the Power, or Virtue, of God would overshadow Mary. Dynamis indicates a process where virtue was exchanged — dynamics.

The Breath of God would cast a shadow upon Mary. There would be no physical activity, God would strictly breath on Mary from above and Jesus would “be born.”

Of course, Jesus was not born at the time of overshadowing but after a normal pregnancy. There is no evidence that God planted in Mary a full-term baby that would be delivered immediately. The conversation was in a future tense, so there would be a waiting period.

So, Jesus was to be born and was planted when God overshadowed her. The Greek word therein is gennao, coming from the root word genos that represents a kind of being — genetics (Strong 1890).

The Virtue from God would generate a perfect Being of another kind than man. The point to this is that when Mary was overshadowed, the genes of God would be planted in her fertile womb, and after the “harvest” was ready, the “crop” would be matured and ready for the Comforter of God.

Then, God overshadowed Jesus, again with His Holy Ghost, and the Virtue of God was engendered within Jesus.

John baptized plenty but the baptism of Jesus was different, “Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost” (John 1:33).

At His conception, God had planted His Genome into the womb of Mary. Mary did not even provide the egg, as Jesus denied that Mary was His mother (Mat 12:48-50). Mary was nothing more than a surrogate chosen to carry Jesus to full term. God generated Jesus just as he had Adam. He made the “clay” and then breathed life unto the Image of Himself.

All religions seem to require an image for their God to be real. All the others were still images made by human hands, but Jesus was the Living Image of God whose breath was the Genome of God. Mary did nothing in the birth of Jesus but was the host that nourished Jesus.

The important thing is that Jesus was the very Image of God in all respects as Adam was so long ago. He was the “last Adam” (1 Cor 15:45) because both He and Adam were of the direct Genome of God.

“Son of God” in the Hebrew is “bar ela.” Dema (Like) is the “Image” of God. Jesus is indeed the “Image of God,” as Paul wrote, “God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” (1 Tim 3:16).

So, Jesus is God manifested and thusly, He is the very Image of God and not just another divine Being. His baptism was justification in the Spirit — vindication.

That act showed God in the Spirit becoming one with Jesus. It was the same justification that Jesus is God in the flesh shown at the crucifixion when the Father, in the Spiritual shape of Jesus, came out of the flesh of Jesus. The baptism of Jesus revealed that Him and only Him was God in the Flesh and that validated that Jesus was who He said He was — God. He was finally vindicated.

Jesus was also called, the “Son of David,” but the genealogy was not His but His supposed father, Joseph. Hence, Jesus was not of the gens, or family, of David by birth but by the Plan of God. David was not the father of Jesus at all, but his supposed germline (progeny).

The baptism of Jesus was proof that Jesus was the Son of God and not entirely the “Son of Man” and only in the image of man. His baptism revealed who His real Father was. However, just as Eve is the “mother of all living,” God is the “Father” of all living provided that each person carries His Genes.

At birth, the “father” of each person is the Devil (John 8:44) but the recessive genes of God lie dormant until the dynamics of Virtue from Jesus engenders to make them dominant like Adam’s in the beginning (Gen 1:26).

Hence, “born again, is literally “engendered from above” (John 3:7). Engendered is “generated again” (Merriam-Webster Dict. 1828-2022).

Genes are edited by the active Genome of Jesus in the Holy Ghost, and rebirth is not from the womb but from God Himself via the Holy Ghost. Yes, Christians have the genes of Jesus planted in them, but unfortunately, just as with Adam and Eve, they can be edited by defecting from God (apostasia; Heb 6:6).

Just as Jesus is not really the Son of David, “yhios Dabid,” but of the family of David through Mary, Jesus is not the “Son of God” (Yhios Theos) by birth but by family, implying genetics. In other words, Jesus was the “Son of God” not by birth because he was not a created Being, but by genetics, to wit: “(Jesus) Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world but was manifest in these last times for you” (1 Pet 1:20).

Since Jesus was not born to God in a natural manner, then God used a divine process to engender Himself. Yes, Jesus is God Himself and so is the Holy Ghost. Anytime God is manifested, whether in the Word, the Flesh, or Spirit; those Substances are all God, not some other “Existence.”

Therefore, if Jesus is God in the Flesh, and His baptism proved that; then he is not the natural born Son of God but like Adam, the “Image of God.”

The Image of God in Adam was mankind as opposed to other kinds (Gen 1:25). We were not created “beasts” but divine beings. Sin altered our genetics, and the genome of Jesus is the only corrective measure. We must be engendered from above and genetically improved by the genes of Jesus from above via the dynamics of His Holy Ghost.

Jesus, is therefore, the “Son of God,” but not how you might think. Since Jesus was not a generated person but pre-existed the cosmos, He is God in the flesh of a man. In other words, God did not procreate Jesus as Lucifer did Cain, but transported Him from one dimension in heaven to another dimension in the world. As such, the placenta, on loan from God for the “trip” was the “room” in the “Ark” that brought Jesus, and the birth canal the portal, or door, from one world to the next.

God delivered His genes into the empty womb of Mary, not by carnal, but by divine knowledge. Hence, Jesus was not the fleshly Son of God but of the gens of God just as He was not the son of David but of the gens of David through Mary. However, like Jesus was the supposed son of Joseph, in the same vein, Mary was the supposed mother of God.

There was no carnality in the transportation of God to the World. He was the “Son of Nobody” and like Melchizedek, “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God…” (Heb 7:3).

Jesus was made like the Son of God — without genealogy (agenealogetos) from mankind, having only the genealogy of God as John wrote so succinctly, “And the Word was made flesh (Jesus), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his Glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

That “Glory” is what? The only “begotten” (monogenes) — the “One Genes” of His Father. He was not conceived in a carnal manner, but God imbued within Jesus, via the Holy Spirit, the One Genes (Mono Genes) of the Father.

It seems that the “Glory of God” (the Splendor) is the Monogenes of God within Jesus and Him alone.

So, Jesus is not the “Son of God” in a fleshly sense but only the Divine. That should clear up how the “Son of God” might be God Himself.

It was by His Glorious genetics and not by any virginal birth; the latter made Him called the “Son of Man” because He was thought to be the Son of Joseph and Mary. Thinking that Jesus was the son of Mary, and that Mary is the mother of God is insulting to the Glorious and miraculous transmigration of the LORD GOD from His realm to ours. Mary was at best, the “Chariot of God.”
