7 of 10; Jesus is the Son of God but is never called God the Son

Jesus is the Son of God but is never called God the Son

"God the Father" is Scriptural, being mentioned about 16 times in the Bible. But never in the Old Testament.

Trinitarians cannot explain why "God the Father" is not in the Old Testament.

JOHN 6:27

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

"God the Son" is not Scriptural as this phrase never appears in the Bible but the "Son of God" is Scriptural as it is mentioned about 52 times.

Why is there this difference?

JOHN 4:24

God is a Spirit:

God is a Spirit. God is not flesh and blood. The Son refers to the humanity of Christ, the Father refers to His supernatural divinity.

"God the Son" implies that God is flesh and blood.

This is wrong. God is a Spirit, not a man.

That is why the Bible never says "God the Son".

Nimrod, the arch-rebel against God, was called El Bar which means God the Son.

"Son of God" means that the Man Jesus was subject to the supernatural Spirit that dwelt in Him.

JOHN 14:10

… but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

"God the Holy Ghost" is unscriptural. This expression is never found in the Bible. Why?

As the Father, God was a supernatural Spirit that dwelt above the Jews. This Spirit was the fullness of God. There was nothing more needed to describe the fullness of God.

But in the Old Testament, there was no person who could act as THE body or THE son of God in whom God could fully express Himself.

Thus God could not be God the Father until Jesus came on the scene as the Son of God.

Today God’s supernatural Spirit dwells in the human body of Jesus, Who sits on the mercy seat in Heaven as our Sacrifice for sin. God’s Spirit is infinite and projects out from the mercy seat as the Holy Spirit to guide and protect us.

A repentant heart becomes the dwelling place for a portion of Christ's Holy Spirit. Thus the Holy Spirit is a full description of God’s supernatural nature, but to fully describe God, we must also refer to His human nature as the Man Jesus who sits on the mercy seat. The Holy Spirit brings us both the supernatural character of Christ as well as the true human nature of Christ that God wants each one of us to be. Only when we reflect Christ will God be happy with our humanity.

So Jesus achieved the impossible. He became both Man and God. His Supernatural manifestation is the Holy Spirit, His human manifestation is the Son of God, the Man who died for our sins and now sits on the mercy seat. Neither of these manifestations on their own is a complete description of God. Thus we cannot say "God the Holy Ghost" or "God the Son".

But the manifestations of both the human and the supernatural attributes of Jesus combine to give a complete description of God.

Remember what Jesus said to the Devil? "It is written". So we must learn to stay with Scripture.
