Jesus, Son of God and Son of Man
Copyright (c) 2011 Arthur Trafford

Many times Jesus referred to Himself as "The Son of man". In 1st
John 5:5 we are told that "Jesus is the Son of God". What
motivated Jesus to refer to Himself as "Son of man"? In modern
English He would have said I am the Son of "a" man (the man is
Joseph). People are trusting in Jesus as The Messiah because of
all the miracles but He doesn't want them to mix or blend their
pagan worship beliefs or their Greek philosophy with His
Christianity.
Jesus was more than happy to be honored and worshiped as Deity
(God in the flesh) by the pagans after He performed a miracle;
but He didn't want their religious pagan beliefs to contaminate
His Gospel Truth by letting them get by with making Him "Just
like" the human gods they already believe in. The Christ would
also say, only worship God the Father, God the Son and God the
Holy Spirit; and never pray to or worship a dead saint of God,
for only God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit
deserve our prayers or thoughts. It is blasphemy against the Holy
Spirit to pray to a created human or created spirit being!
A few hundred years after the death of all the Apostles, their
children, and grandchildren etc. "grievous wolves came in and did
not spare the flock" (Paul's quote about Christianity being
changed). The fact that there was a Protestant Reformation is
proof that pagan thought and Greek philosophy merged with
Christianity. And Jesus constantly reminding His followers that
He is a "Son of man" (Joseph implied) refutes the false rumors
that Jesus has to be virgin born simply because they believed
every male who gets a female pregnant will automatically produce
a child with a sin nature (pagan concept).
Could it be that Jesus didn't want the 100's of thousands of
individual pagan worshipers and Greek philosophers to believe
that Jesus and God The Father have the same limitations and
vulnerability that the pagan born gods and mythological gods are
considered to have.
When Greek philosophers and God fearing people throughout history
are contemplating how the Creator God they believe in could come
into this world and be human like us; they perceived He can't be
a product of human sexual passion and procreation (for that is
how human sin is transmitted to you and me).
There were individuals and whole families who came to hear Jesus
or His Apostles and disciples speak about the Kingdom of God and
how a person can be born-again. Jesus was keenly aware that most
of these people have embraced some or many concepts of Greek
mythology and many pagan religions and they do not hold the
Jewish Torah as their Biblical frame of reference. And they want
to blend many of their beliefs with Christianity ---like going to
a spiritual salad bar and merging your belief system to what
seems right, in your own eyes.
News about the millions of miracles that Jesus did or gets credit
for doing through the Apostles spread like a wild-fire --John
21:25. Jesus said that if you don't believe His words then
believe because of the miracles; for only a righteous God or Son
of God can do these acts of kindness.
Most humans have a Theistic mindset and have no problem believing
in a god or gods. Newborns have to be held and talked to or they
will die very soon after they are born. Children and adults long
to be talked to and touched by their family, friends and even
strangers. And the concept of God becoming a man precedes
Christianity and most people want to believe in a personal,
loving and caring God who can be born into this world and is like
us (but without a sin nature).
God has established the laws of reproduction to be the same for
"All humans" throughout history (no exception, except for pagan
religions). God creates the first male and female and they have a
command to reproduce. The male gets the female pregnant and they
"Both" give their child the building blocks for their flesh,
blood and bone body.
God puts a human "created" spirit into the body of every child
that a couple brings into this world; and the 100's of billions
of us humans God has created since Adam and Eve walked this earth
all have one thing in common; we all have a sinful nature because
God put in each of us a human "created" spirit that is given a
choice to sin or not sin and we all choose to sin.
Joseph has to be the father of Jesus simply because that is the
only way that He can touch our humanness and be "Like" us. God
puts His own Spirit into the body of Jesus that Joseph and Mary
produce through intercourse which is God ordained for all of us!
Jesus could also have said that He is "Son of woman". But no one
denies that "Jesus has come in the flesh" of Mary (born from her
womb); but everyone denies that Jesus "has come in the flesh"
that Joseph's sperm produced! God used two humans to produce the
person that Arthur Trafford and Jesus became; and no new satanic
prototype embracing pagan theology is needed to keep Jesus
sinless.
The bottom line: Jesus not having a human "created" spirit in Him
is what kept Jesus sinless. God the Father's indwelling Spirit in
God the Son is the reason Jesus didn't sin in the body that
Joseph and Mary gave Jesus at conception !!!
Joseph and Mary are related through their DNA to King David to
The Davidic Covenant; and if Joseph is step-father of Jesus,
Jesus is NOT the Promised Messiah, and Satan gets the Jews to
reject the NEW counterfeit Christian Messiah because ONLY ONE of
Jesus' parents completes or fulfills the Davidic Covenant !!!

There have been many people throughout history that have
seen a need for their God or God's to come into this world
via a virgin birth. Greek philosophers also promoted the
ultimate religious "fiction" stories.To find out more
