Is it possible for God to have a son?
It is not possible for God to have a son, in the natural, human, material sense of a father/son relationship. But if we understand the meaning of the Son of God in the Jewish sense, the subject will change completely. The term “Son of God” was very common in the Jewish tradition before Christ. And it means sent by God, which carries the will of God. And not a son in the sense that God Almighty is married and born, God forbid! But the sonship of Christ had a distinct character, for he was the bearer of the essence of God, the splendor of his glory. The Bible says about Christ that: “He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Heb. 1: 3), “He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation” (Colossians1:15). Christ is the image of God in our world, this is the meaning of the Son of God.
Are the 4 Gospels corrupted?
First: The word “Gospel” does not mean a book, but means “Good News.” It tells the life of the Lord Jesus on our earth: His taking on flesh, teachings, miracles, crucifixion, redemption, and resurrection. Each of the four Gospels documents its writer’s testimony of this good news. These are real testimonies by four people which are similar but not identical with no contradictions which present a complete picture of this good news.
Each of the four writers wrote for a specific purpose and people. For example, Matthew wrote to the Jews and spoke of Christ as a future king and the prophecies in the Old Testament that foretold Jesus’ coming.
Mark wrote to the Romans and spoke of Christ as a servant, in order to serve mankind.
Luke the historian wrote to the Greek nations and focused on the human nature of Christ.
As for John, he wrote to the whole world about Christ in his divine nature and that he is the perfect and eternal God.
The four Gospels together add different aspects of this good news and they do not contradict each other, but they complement each other. The four Gospels, from a legal point of view, meet an agreement in them despite the diversity of the writer’s choice of adding or deleting details. This gave credibility of their testimony.The diversity of independent views, along with the presence of agreement in their testimony indicates that the written record of the four gospels are accurate and reliable.
