Did I claim that the Bible teaches that all men are the sons of God? No. So you are wrong AGAIN by claiming that I did. And that is quite a common occurrence when you post.
Is Jesus the express image of His person? Think before you say "NO!" because I quoted from the Bible.
No. Maybe you should get your hearing checked.
Jesus identified only His Father as the Only True God. That leaves out Jesus and the Holy Spirit from having that ti tle. Sorry, but that's what the Bible says, and you claim to believe every word of the Bible.
You are wrong.
I do want to go there, because your incorrect beliefs about the Godhead deserve to be corrected.
Some Bibles put into a context that prevent misunderstandings like yours:
"...she was found to be pregnant [through the power] of the Holy Spirit." (AMP)
"...she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit." (CEB)
"...she was found to be pregnant from the Ruach HaKodesh." (CJB)
"... she learned that she was going to have a baby by God’s Holy Spirit." (CEV)
"...he learned that she was expecting a baby. (She was pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit.)" (ERV)
And at least TEN OTHER Bibles use words like "of" or "from" or "By the power of" instead of "child of the Holy Spirit" so people like you won't jump to the wrong conclusion and think that Jesus is the Holy Spirit's child.
Here is a simple ****ogy to help you see your mistake: Suppose you and your wife wanted to have a baby, but the only way she could get pregnant was through in vitro fertilization. So you ask a fertility specialist named Dr. Jones to do the procedure. When the baby is born and people ask how this was able to happen, you answered "My wife was made pregnant by Dr. Jones." Can you see how some people might jump to the wrong conclusion?
Suppose your answer was "It was thanks to the abilities of Dr. Jones that my wife became pregnant" some people might correctly understand, but some might not.
If you said it like the some Bibles say it, "One day my wife was found to be with child of Dr. Jones," then some people might do exactly what you did, and jump to the conclusion that Dr. Jones is the father of your baby, when in fact YOU were the father, and Dr. Jones only helped her to become pregnant. Don't be like those people, Jim.
