The Deity Contention

Autor Godfrey Okoro Godfrey
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Is your position for or against the concept of a veritable Son of God? Is the Christ, God or just a son of man, as He himself even put it. 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art ... one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. (Matt 16) Although many persons share the views of Simon Peter, there are certain quarters that disagree completely with him, stating that the Most High cannot have a Son. This argument is predicated mainly on the fact that Allah is not human that He should procreate. For the Judaists, the SHEMA, Hear O Israel, the Lord thy God is one Lord, is taught to be recited from childhood and is supposed to be the last statement from the lips of a dying Judaist. Although Trinitarian views are stubbornly opposed to these religions, they appear to be superlatively supported by New Testament information which agreeably should override earlier held views. This position is discarded by Muslims and Judaist who seem to have strangely found something to commonly agree on. The Deity Contention comes in handy as an expose on the various conflicting positions which have introduced a veritable war of words into modern religion, without any party actually seeming to bother about the truth than winning an argument. It may shock many Christians as much as it shocked me, to realize that what is ordinarily believed in most Christian circles and taken for granted among them, is a matter of great contention among some Non-Christian groups. The Nativity story and the angel spicing, as well as the concept of the Baby Jesus, so much emphasized by many orthodox churches, have taken a twist in some other circles, yet the ingredient of a Jesus birth has not been lacking. For many Christians, the love of the Christ, more popularly recognized and addressed as Jesus, is deeply ingrained in their subconscious. It may amaze many Non-Christians how one may love our Lord Jesus Christ so overwhelmingly, yet love the Father in such a way as to almost supersede the love for the Son, and be able to balance these two. Thus for many Christians then, there does not exist the least competition which many Non-Trinitarian Sects and religions fear and express; which they attempt to unsuccessfully exploit to intimidate the Christian into renouncing his/her beloved Jesus as a veritable Son of God, and the Messiah. For many persons then, it appears to be sheer indoctrination. Yet the bitter truth remains that there has hardly been enough evidence to dissuade the Trinitarian view. Most attempts to frustrate belief in a Jesus, Son of God have actually seem to come from quarters that are themselves questionable or that carry out questionable practices in the sight of the Christians or the other Sects. Hence it has been quite difficult to disprove the deeply ingrained concept of Son of God and the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. But how true is the concept of a son of God. In fact, there has always been a son of God. The fact remains that virtually all religions have a son of God or God himself as the leader or initiator. Most persons who claim to have human initiators have surreptitiously elevated their leaders to the status of divinity. The truth is that the difference between our attitudes to the concept of God would ultimately determine how true and realistic we worship a Living God. Having completed the basic information on this book, I sought contrary views on the subject of the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. I did not want my work to appear to be lopsided. I was shocked beyond my wildest expectation at how much the belief is vigorously protested against. However, I shall have to give everybody the benefit of doubt and present every groups position as much as can fit into this background of the b"
