Do you doubt that?? You quote freely from The Gospels and this is
mentioned there and in the prophecy of Isaiah 7.14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall
conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

I think this is a different use of the word son. It seems clear from the
bible that Jesus was a very different type of son from Adam the father
of the giants (wish I knew more about them). Jesus was God. God became
Jesus. God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit are one - and yet in some way
separate. Unlike any other "son", Jesus was able to forgive sins and
perform miracles and atone for our sin - and rose from the dead.

Yes very interesting. The trinity is not an easy concept to understand. |
