Explaining how Jesus is God and Son of God
Q: Is Jesus God, or the Son of God? How can he be both? I’m so curious about this topic.
A: Jesus is God, of the triune God.
God is: Father, Word and Holy Spirit.
Jesus in eternity was God, known as "The Word".
When a Father sent a son in old testament times, he was sent by the father's authority, with authority to carry out the work as a representative. He was viewed as the Father being there in his behalf. Read the parable of the wicked vineyard workers who leased the land from the owner. For example.
Jesus came as a representing of the Father. "You see me you've seen the Father, we are one". One in same essence and nature; perfect. The God who is I AM; the eternal One.
The Word took on flesh, born to the world as Jesus. The God Man. 100% God and 100% man.
This is how he is the Son of God. And by God creating him in Mary's womb... the 2nd Adam without a sin nature. Not born by Adams seed, but by the will of God the Father.
The Word speaks truth and is the Word of God. Is God. Equal to the Father and Holy Spirit.
Only in regards to Man's Salvation... the trinity had/has subordination roles to accomplish that goal.
