Jesus Christ is the “HUIOS” Son of God, NOT the “Teknon” Son.

Bible Reading: Matthew 16:13-20; Hebrews 1:1-14 

Memory Verse: “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matt 16:16; “Express image of his person.” Heb 1:3; “Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Cor 4:4; “Who is the image of the invisible God.” Col.1:15 

Introduction: One of the least understood Bible concepts is “how can Jesus Christ be the Son of God?” This truth is the rock on which Jesus Christ builds His church (Matt 16:18). Most churches don’t teach it. 

This will destroy the Quran, Islam, Watchtower, Iglesia Christo. English has 1 word for son, Greek has 2: 

I. TEKNON (child, offspring, born of, 5043) coming from the verb “tiktoo” (to give birth). 

Jesus is never called the “teknon” “Son of God” or “child of God” because God the Father never gave birth to God the Son, yet this is what Muslims, Quran, JWs wrongly think that Christians believe. NT examples: “the father the child” (Mat 10:21), “leave no children” (Mark 12:19), “they had no child” (Lk 1:7),Ac21:5 

II. HUIOS (same nature as, 5207) means that Jesus has the same nature as God. Zhodiates 1371,1404 1. 

9 Examples: “son of peace” (Luke 10:6) has the nature of peace, “children of light”, “children of the day” (Luke 16:8, I Thess 5:5; John 12:36 lightened with God’s knowledge), “children of disobedience” (Eph 2:2; 5:6; Col 3:6), “sons of thunder” (Mark 3:17), Barnabas was “son of consolation” (Acts 4:36), “children of the resurrection” (Luke 20:36), Judas was “son of perdition” (John 17:12; 2 Thess 2:3 nature of destruction, waste, ruin, damnation), “child of hell” (nature of deserving hell, Matthew 23:15). 2. Jesus is the “only begotten” (Greek: monogenes 3439) son of God in John 1:14,18; 3:16,18; I John 4:9 means “mono” (one) “genes” (same in every detail) as God. 

Jesus has 120 attributes of God.

3. The Son of God is defined as, “being the brightness of his glory, & the express image of his person, upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins” Hebrews 1:2,3. Huios is image of the Father as TV, laptop, iphone screen is image of TV station, hard drive & sim card. 

4. The Son is the part of God who “goes forth” or “goes out” from God to interact with the physical universe, to visit people, to comfort, deliver or bring a message to them in 27 verses. See p.83, 58 Micah 5:2 “he (Son) come forth unto me whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting” 

5. If “no man has seen the Father” (John 6:46), then who did OT people see that they said was God? Answer: It was Jehovah God the Huios, who “goes out” from God to visit people on earth. It was God the Huios that visited Adam (Gen 3:8), Hagar (Gen 16:13), Abraham (Gen 19:24), Jacob (Gen 32:30), Moses (Exodus 3:4), in a pillar of cloud (Ex 13:21; 14:19,24), Elders of Israel (Ex24:9-11), to Israel on a rock (Ex 17:5-7), Joshua (5:12-14), Manoah (Judges 13:22), Samuel (I Samuel 3:10,21), Solomon (I Kings 3:5; 9:2), Isaiah (Isaiah 6:5; John 12:41), Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:26,28; 10:20). Und 1269. 

6. Jesus Christ is 100% God the Huios & 100% man, operating through both natures (eg:bi-lingual). Christ’s twin nature in: a) sleeping as a man (Mark 4:35-41), stilling storm as God (Ps.107:29).b) Matt22:45 c) praying as man, walking on water as God (Matt 14:22-27). d) weeping at funeral, raising Lazarus (John 11 e) hungry as man, cursing fig tree as God (Mark 11:12-21). f) crucified as man, blacking sun as God (Mk 15 )

7. Jesus accepted worship (proskuneo):Matt.8:2; 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 20:20; 28:9,17;Mark 5:6; Luke 24:52;Jn9:38 

8. Trinity verses: Matthew 28:19; I John 5:7; 2 Cor 13:14; Isaiah 48:12,13,16; 63:7-10; 2 Samuel 23:2,3. 

9. NWT translate ‘proskuneo’ as worship for Father (19), angels (2), devils (14), but ‘obeisance’ for Jesus. 

10. NWT translates “ego eimi” 49/50 times in John as “I am”, except in John 8:58 as ‘I have been’. Why? 

11. 40 Verses teach that Jesus Christ is God: Matthew 28:17-20; (equal with God.John 5:18); (honour the Son even as. Jn 5:23); (If ye believe not that I am John 8:24); (Before Abraham was, I AM. 58,59); (all the Father has are mine 16:15); (glory I had with thee. 17:5); 20:28; (all call on JC. I Cor 1:2); (In him dwells all the fullness of the godhead bodily. Col 2:9); (God bring with him I Thess 4:14); (great God and our Saviour. Titus 2:13; I Tim 3:16; SONIV p.7); (angels of God worship him. Hebrews 1:6); (Thy throne, O God) 8, (Thou Lord in beginning) 10; (Alpha & Omega = First & Last = Almighty; Rev 1:17,18,11,8) (JHVH the King & His redeemer JHVH of hosts Isaiah44:6); 9:6; (this gate shall be shut Ezekiel44:1,2); (I will go.Hosea 5:15); (my price 30. Zechariah 11:4,12,13); (they shall look on me 12:9-10); (JHVH his feet Z14:3-5; Act 1:10-12); (JHVH says JHVH of hosts has sent me Zech 2:8-11); (Lord of all. Acts 10:36); Micah 5:2 (qedmah) = Habakkuk 1:12 (qedmah). Both Father and Huios are the only judge (Ps 82:8; John 5:22), only Saviour (Isa 43:11, John 5:22), only Creator (Mal 2:10; John 1:3), only forgiver of sins (Mark 2:5,7), only Rock (Ps 18:31; I Cor 10:4); only glory (Isaiah 42:8; John 17:5); Jesus & God own the same throne, servants (Rev22:3), face, name 22:4, temple 21:22, light23, priests20:6
