The Fatherhood Of Jesus Christ

[Gaia]

Hello Everyone --

Since we've gotten into discussions on some pretty far-out (non)doctrine / ideas, i thought it might be a good idea to come back to some good, basic Gospel doctrine --

Would anyone like to start this discussion? In what ways is Jesus "the Father and the Son"?

Review of "Book of Mormon Christology" Appendix A and Appendix B of this paper do a fairly good job.

When we've seen Jesus we've seen the Father.

John 14:9

My mortal father gave me mortal life. Eternal life must come from an Eternal Father. Yea, Jesus 'is the very Eternal Father'. (Alma 11:38-39)

Very original OP to several threads. And isn't starting a thread starting a discussion?

It is a matter of law and covenant that Jesus becomes our Father in the “Kingdom” of G-d and heaven. In another thread PC and I talked about the benefit of study and scholarship. This, I believe, is a good example of the lack of study and scholarship into the Ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean area laws and covenants of Suzerain - Servant covenant and law within the kingdom.

It is obvious by both the terms and the tone used by Jesus that he was a servant of a Suzerain and that he had come in the “name” of that Suzerain.

Amen PC.

They are indeed one.

(all ..please don't start a heated debate on what "one" means. What ever you think it means, good for you.) lol
