Featured Son of God

From whence did Logos receive his flesh? Was it from the seed of the woman?

Is that article relative to Jesus of Nazareth?

Exactly how was, "1:14 Καὶ ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν ἡμῖν - And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us," the seed of David and the seed of Abraham? When did the Logos become their seed? Or was Jesus of Nazareth the seed of David and Abraham?

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: Luke 1:31.32

Is that speaking of the Logos made flesh, the Christ, the Son of the Living God?



3:14 וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־מֹשֶׁה אֶֽהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶֽהְיֶה וַיֹּאמֶר כֹּה תֹאמַר לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶֽהְיֶה שְׁלָחַנִי אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃

Just a statement? Maybe statement and prophecy? Exactly how does God become the seed of David and Abraham or does he?

 

“Seed” in that context means descendent. That his earthly father, Joseph, was a descendent of David made Jesus a descendent of David.

I’ve heard people argue Mary was also a descendent of David, which is possible I suppose, but scripturally it makes no difference.

Peace to you

 

I understand what you believe. “Seed” means descendent. In reference to Jesus, He is a “descendent” of David based on Joseph being a descendent: Matthew 1:16, Luke 2:4.

Scripture specifically mentions Joseph’s lineage because it fulfills the prophecy. Mary’s lineage is never mentioned that I know of.

Ruth and Thamar in Matt

 

Obviously, Matthew is making it clear Joseph did not father Jesus.

All I’m saying is. it is unnecessary to go beyond what scripture reveals and speculate that Mary was descended from David. However, it simply isn’t worth arguing about.

In the OP, there is a given possibility that Mary’s “egg” wasn’t used at all, but that God form the child from nothing.

That makes sense. Regardless, you must accept that God created the sperm to fertilize the egg from nothing so why not the whole body of Jesus? Growing inside Mary like every other child ever born?

Don’t forget Rahab the harlot and other women.

All of humanity was supposed to be God on earth as sons of God. This was by maintaining obedience. The only law was placed in the hands of one human son of God, Adam. After that one disobedience Adam died, was no longer a son of God physically nor spiritually.

So being God's son was already a creation in Genesis 1:26-27.

So when Jesus was born into Adam's dead corruptible flesh, He did not take on any of the physical and spiritual death, as a son of God. Jesus was 100% God. Jesus was 100% a son of God. Jesus was able to hide His true form. He only revealed it once to Peter, James, and John on the mount of Transfiguration.

Jesus was the complete son of God. Jesus was also the complete son of man, because He was able to be seen as a human starting from conception, through all the stages of human development.

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

John saw a son of God on the mount of Transfiguration. And as sons of God, redeemed humans will be fully restored at the Second Coming. Sons of God were the literal image of God created to exist on earth along with all of creation. The Word represents and is all that is physical and spiritual in creation in one being.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men."

The Word was what spoke light into creation and gave all of creation life.

 

Hebrews 1:1-14 expresses God the Son as being eternal. When Jesus is presented to the angels as the firstborn, this phrase is stating that when the angels were created, God the Son was presented to them as their Commander. The second person of the being we call God, was presented to the angels. He is above them because He is eternal. Hebrews 1 makes this clear.

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”? And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.” Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.” But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.” And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.” And to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”? Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
