Jesus Christ, son of God? Part 2 of 2

Open Jesus himself called never "Sons of God" recognize as Christian clergy, but they claim that others do so. It has an answer.

Investigation of the manuscripts which make up the New Testament, there is the status of so called "son" of Jesus based on the poor translation from two Greek words - Pais and Huios, both which are translated as "Son". However, this translation appears disingenuous. Of the Greek word Pais derives from the Hebrew Ebed, which carries the meaning of slave or servant first. Therefore, is the primary translation of Pais Iesùs "Servant of God" with "Child" or "Sons of God", is an extravagant beautification. "" According to the theological dictionary of the New Testament, "the Hebrew original of PAIs in sentence País Iesùs, i.e., Ebed, carries a constraint on the personal relationship and first the importance of" slave. "" "[1] It is interesting, because it fits perfectly with the prophecy of Isaiah 42: 1, confirmed in Matthew 12: 18:" Behold, my servant [that is, the Pais Greek], I, my lover in my soul is happy... "." »

If someone corrected Bible read the King James version, new version of King James, new standard version or Luther, is the word "Servant" in all cases. The purpose of which is revelation, to understand the truth about God could an unsightly mole on the face of the divine teaching of the status of the son think this passage. After all, what a better place for God his son explains Jesus? "What better place would say,"Behold, my son, that I created...".?

But it says no, that. In fact, the doctrine lacks biblical support in the words of Jesus and God registered, and there are good reasons to questions why. Unless, of course, that is, Jesus this passage was described nothing more than the servant of God.

To the religious use of the word Ebed "is the term used as an expression of humility, used from the righteous before God."[2] Also after 100 b.c. Pais Iesùs means"more frequently" servant of God "so that when applied to Moses and the prophets or three children (bar.)". 01: 20; 02: 20; (Daniel 09: 35). "" [3] A person can easily into the doctrinal quicksand get: "eight instances of this term, it refers to Israel (Lk. 01: 54), two call David (Lk 1: 69);" (04: 25 Acts of the Apostles) and the other five to Jesus (Mt. 12: 18;) 03: 13, 26 Acts; 04: 27, 30).... In the few cases where Jesus is called Pais Iesùs obviously early tradition we. "[4] Were not the exclusive rights to the term Jesus and where he employs the term was" apparently "derived" early tradition. In addition, all individuals should identify translation, if impartial, applied their expression in a similar way. So, however was not the case. Then, that the Pais was translated "Servant" to David (acts 04: 25 and Luke 1: 69) and Israel (Luke 01: 54), it is translated "son" or "Holy child", in relation to Jesus (acts 03: 13 03: 26, 04: 27, 04: 30). Such preferential treatment is canonically consistent, but logically incorrect.

"Finally an interesting without a key, religious parallel is discovered:" the Greek expression Pais TOU Iesùs, servant of God ", therefore has exactly the same connotation as the Muslim name Abdallah -"Servant of God"". ""[5]

The symmetry is still shocking, because the Holy Quran of Jesus refers Abdallah with it even as this (Abd is Arabic for slave or servant, Abd-Allah [also written "Abdullah"] meaning slave or servant of Allah). With the child Jesus, accuse again in her family according to the story as Mary they be chaste. Speaking from the cradle in a miracle, who believe its claims to, baby Jesus defended the virtue of the mother with the words: "Inni Abdullah …", which means "I am indeed a servant of God..." (TMQ 19: 30)

As well, the translation of Greek Huios of the new testament of "Son" is broken (in the truest sense of the word). On the page 1210 Kittel and dictionary of theological Frederick of the New Testament, meaning the Huios travel allow the literal (Jesus, son of Mary), easily metaphorical (faithful son of the King [Matthew 17: 25-26]), politely metaphorical (elected representatives of God son of Abraham [Luke 19: 9]), to colloquially metaphorical (as son of God, believers [Matt 7: 9] and Heb. 12: 5), spiritually metaphorical (student, the son of Pharisees [Matt 12]): 27Actes 23: 6]), to biologically metaphorical (as in John 19: 26, where Jesus his pupil Marie describes as"son" preferred,), dangerous metaphorically, "Son of the Kingdom" (Matt 08: 12), "Son of peace" (Luke. 10: 6), "Sons of light" (Luke. 16: 8) and all the "son of this world" (Luke 16: 8) "Son of Thunder" (mark 03: 17). It is as if this misunderstood word for "Son" waving a large sign is on the fat is drawn: metaphor! "" Or, as Stanton, eloquent, "voice most experts, that the Hebrew or Aramaic word behind"its "to" server."" So that falls the spirit of Jesus at his baptism, Jesus 42: 1 is aimed by the voice of the sky on Isaiah: ' here is my servant … my chosen... I have him. "If 01: 11 and 9: 7 claim the mark that Jesus is called in a special messianic task from God, the focus on the role of Jesus as the servant is anointed as son of God."[6]
