UNDERSTANDING THE SONS OF GOD AND CHILDREN OF MEN.
There is a voice crying in the wilderness! It's crying out wisdom! So that they that'll will hear can be without excuse! Behold I write to you by the spirit of him who has called us to hear him. I therefore speak, not with excellence of speech but with power and sound mind according the utterances given by the spirit!
Our discussion today should be a long one but I'll rather take them one step at a time. I deliberately choose this topic due to the urge I have in my spirit to help some people who may not have discovered the essence of life, who they are and what they are here on earth to do. Please you must bear with me as English language is not my mother tongue neither am I an English student, so overlook my grammatical incompetence and learn.
Some of the things that we will talk about here can only be understood by the help of the spirit of God, therefore, I pray that you're granted with the spirit of understanding to the mysteries of the kingdom of God Amen.
I believe in God, therefore I speak, I can not deny him because I'm a witness that he exist, I have his spirit as an undeniable fact, and his spirit has given us an understanding of God. I believe in the scriptures as I trust the spirit who always quickens the written words for understanding, therefore I live by the spirit and not by the book alone.
Religion has put a lot of confusion amongst men today, and men are deeply confused not because of choice but because they could not help themselves because of the weakness of their nature. To some, man is a product of evolution and to some God made man, whichever side you belong to, you are right! Why do I say so? We are limited in our understanding and most times we allow language to confuse us more! Maybe some other time I'll talk on the limitations of language in explaining life to the living. Like I said before you are free to believe whatever you like just like me who believe in a supreme being, force, power, intelligence, spirit being, life giving spirit, Which the English word called God. For those of us that believe in the scriptures, I'll like us to read something about the creation of man by this same God in Genesis.
Genesis 1:26-28
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
You can see where I put down in bold form up there; that's where a lot of us gets confused which is why there are so much confusion in our world today through religion, when am talking about religion, I'll like to lay more emphasis on three main religions who shares somethings in common, they're Judaism Christianity and Muslin, these three at least believe in one God, life after death, they also believed that God made man.
So where am I going with all this? I want to open your eyes to who you are! Many people today when you ask them will tell you that they're sons and daughters of God, but after today you'll have a better understanding.
According to the scriptural genealogy of man, the attribute that reads 'the son of God' who lived on earth with flesh like you and I was given to Adam alone, (read Luke chapter 3)which logically we can understand and accept that fact seeing that Adam was molded by God himself out of dust, who also breathed into his nostrils and he became alive. And when the man Jesus came in the scene he was declared a son of God too which was unacceptable by many who said that God is a spirit and has no wife therefore he cannot have a child. No doubt they may seem to be right in their own sense of judgment.
The issue of Jesus Christ who was declared a son of God brought so many controversial arguments that led to divisions in religions especially among the three religions that I mentioned above. The same issue of Jesus being the son of God was the reason he was killed by the religious folks of his time.
This is where I'll draw a line on part 1 of this topic, more and more will be coming from time to time until we're grounded in this understanding, but before then, I'll leave us with some questions so that we all can participate in this understanding.
1: Do you believe that Adam is a son of God?
2: God blessed them to multiply and replenish the earth, therefore, they gave birth to you and I; do you think that being brought out by Adam qualified us as sons of God too?
3: Do you believe that Jesus is the son of God?
If yes or no; please give us your reason/s.

Thanks to @gbenga and @jodipamungkas for this wonderful badge.
**Thank you for reading**
In my life, I went through very difficult times, it is just faith that helps me to go through. Sometimes when I can not cope with something, I feel that I have support from God, I know that someone is watching over me. As soon as I think about it, it's easier for me to make things easier. Believe in the purpose of your life. I know where I'm going, what I want to achieve. Faith is my inspiration and hope. God loves me as I am, wants me to be a good man. All of us will be judged after death. We must live according to the commandments of God, and the door to heaven will be open to us.
Faith is the pillar of Christian life. Without her, there would be no such great love which all humanity is endowed with.
I think my faith will lead me far and allow me to meet God in heaven.
God bless you :-)
May the good lord who searches the heart grant you with more grace and increase your faith in him.
Thanks for commenting.
Thank you and God bless you. I was born to love him and love the others. Lot's of love my friend :)
And God said, let's make man in our own image.... Adam would later be the byproduct of that proclamation.
Does that make Adam an offspring of God? I wish to say Yes. Adam is a son of God. Children often their fathers sometimes and get punished for it, so was Adam punished.
*This is my son in whom am well pleased.. *
This statement refers to Jesus, So He is the son of God too, but then He has been giving power that was not given to Adam, Through him Man is redeemed, but by Adam, Man became evil.
The bad and good son stuffs I guess.. It happens even in some earthly families.
@maxdevalue, thanks for this post.
I love the fact that u have been quite diplomatic.
I'm happy that you're always available here for us. Thank you.
I like the way you think, you seem pretty open minded and not a religious fanatic... I think that it is not really important what you believe in as long as you dont support evil and you respect others! Love is for every One
btw. I really like your "NOTE" :)
Keep it up ∞ ♥
Thank you beloved, love is so powerful than religion, I don't subscribe to any religion of the world over another, even though some of us were born in one religion or another which we don't have a choice to decide as children, yet it takes open minded ones to discover the real essence of life which is purely beyond religion. Peace, love and respect for one another are the things expected from everyone for a better world.
Thanks, please make out time and follow through in the next part. Best wishes.
Yes exactly! Taking part in religion was not our choice.. I was born catholic but I dont like the church, I see it as big evil. Things are changing, people start waking up, they see through lies of the system, there is alot of information in this time... I know we can make it and live in peace and unity on this place called Earth. Consciousness & compassion rise up!!! Will continue to read, thank you! ONENESS
My reason why Jesus is the son God is that God does not have a literal wife with whom he fathered children. But he is the Creator of all life.
Therefore, the first human that God created, Adam, is called a “son of God.” (Luke 3:38 ) Similarly, the Bible teaches that Jesus was created by God. So Jesus is also called a “Son of
God.”— John 1:49 . God created Jesus before he created Adam. Regarding Jesus, the apostle Paul wrote: “He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of all creation." ( Colossians 1:15 )
About the Adam case... In the creation narrated in the Bible, Adam is not directly
described as son of God, being made in the image and likeness of God is the unique description of sonship and dominion. Adam gave birth while Jesus didn't. To my own knowledge and research though. We will understand more in the part 2. Thanks for sharing with us Sir.
