How do we Worship God There are many ways to worship God,

but as logic tells us, God has chosen a particular way for us to worship him. He has chosen the best people of all time and has given them Prophet Hood. God has chosen these Prophets to declare Gods message to humanity and the way we have to submit to him.

Page 4: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

The Message All the Prophets of God have described

God as Uniquely One, external absolute, and has no beginning or end.

They have described God as one with no partners as well as the creator of everything in the Universe.

Page 5: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

The Message These Unique attributes of God are the

exact reason why he’s the only one worthy of worship

Therefore people in general have to make the effort to try to understand and study these Prophets so that we understand how too worship God.

Exceeding the Limits One does not draw closer to a person or

God by exceeding the reality. What do we mean by that?

Jesus Christ called himself the son of Man; others called himself the son God.

If he is identifying himself as the son of man, you’re not going to draw closer to the prophet by making him more than what he is.

Top 5 Reasons why Jesus is not the Begotten son of God

The following is the Top 5 reasons why Jesus is not the begotten son of God.

Number 5

Page 9: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

Do you Believe Jesus was Begotten and not made? If you ask most Christians if you believe

in this doctrine to begin with , do you believe that Jesus was begotten and not made?

Most will say yes its part of my religion, yes

Yes it’s part of your religion but do you believe it?

Page 10: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

Do you Believe Jesus was Begotten and not made? Most will then start to back pedal If you look up the word begotten in

Merriam Webster’s dictionary, Its says begotten means to procreate as the father, it implies the cardinal element of sex.

Are you saying that you actually believe that God had sex with Marry to have Jesus?

Is that what you’re saying when you mean begotten and not made?

Page 11: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

Do you Believe Jesus was Begotten and not made? 99% of people will say of course not. They would realize the blasphemy of that

claim So then they would begin to change their

position If this is what begotten means, and you

don’t believe that to mean the procreation of the father like the definition says it is, then why do you believe in it?

Page 13: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

It is an evolved Doctrine Derived in Council of Nicaea in 325, It

was later placed in the Nicene creed Glanadious , the patriarch of

Constantinople when he heard the Council of Nicaea’s decision of the matter said “ These are the words of a drunken man”.

Page 14: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

It is an evolved Doctrine This doesn’t mean that anyone who

believes in this is a drunken man; however when one truly analyzes the statement for somebody who sits down and thinks about these words with an open heart and open mind, the vast majority of mankind would say they wouldn’t accept this.

Number 3

Page 16: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

Psalms 2:7 Psalms 2:7 says “The Lord has said to

me, you are my son, today I have begotten you

Are we talking about Jesus Christ? No. We’re talking about David The doctrine of Jesus being begotten not

made, is not just that Jesus Christ was begotten not made, but he was the only Begotten son of God

Page 17: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

Psalms 2:7 How can you have Jesus Christ be the

only begotten son of God when we have David many generations before being told he was the only begotten son of God?

Actually the bible has sons by the tons. Many passages speak of the sons of

Gods, and the children of God.

Page 18: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

Psalms 2:7 Sons of God were known as

metaphorical issues and not a literal one In fact the all the Jews saw themselves

as the children of God. Sons and daughters of God. That was the status they conceived for themselves.

This was a metaphorical issue and not a literal one.

Page 19: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

But Hold On….. But hold on… What about Jesus? Jesus was the Son of God with a capital

S.

Page 20: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

Problem with this argument Problem with this argument is there is nothing

to support it. The manuscript the bible is translated from is

the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts and there was no capitalization of any these manuscripts

Whenever you read the bible and see any letter capitalized, even the beginning of sentences, these letters were not capitalized in the manuscripts which the bible was translated

Page 21: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

Problem with this argument The bible is translated from a body of manuscripts. Right now we have over 5400 manuscripts None of them have capital letters The capitalization is something people have put in Sometimes as a device to emphasize to what they

wanted to emphasize, but that’s not being sincere towards the scripture

A lot people get turned off by religion because they see people play with religion. This is one of those cases. As people are adding or removing things to the bible.

Page 22: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

Number 2

Page 23: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

The word Mono-genes translated as only begotten This word Mono-genes is found 9 times in

the bible 3 times in Luke: 7:12, 8:42 and 9:38 In all 3 of these passages it’s not talking

about Jesus Christ but other individuals, and it’s not translated as the only begotten son.

This is the same word, but when found in John it’s translated as the only begotten son

Page 24: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

The word Mono-genes translated as only begotten But when this same word is used in Luke

it’s not translated as only begotten This is another example of people

playing with scripture adding and taking away what they want which in the end turns people away from religion.

There is an inconsistency with translation.

You have to ask yourself why?

Page 25: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

The word Mono-genes translated as only begotten The word is found 9 times in the bible Again, 3 times mentioned in Luke which

is not translated to only begotten and is referenced towards people other than Jesus

5 times in John, 4 times in the gospel of John, 1 time in John 1.. In those 5 instances, it refers to Jesus as the only begotten.

Page 26: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

The word Mono-genes translated as only begotten The 9th time is in Hebrews 11:17. This is important because is talking

about Isaac. Isaac is Mono-genes Now why is that important? It’s important because Ismael was born

14 years before Isaac How can Isaac be the only begotten son

if Ismael was 14 years old when Isaac was born?

Page 27: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

The word Mono-genes translated as only begotten Well Ismael wasn’t really considered his

son, because it was with Hagar and not Sarah.

This argument is invalid, because at the time polygamy was allowed, and Hagar was taken as a wife. David and Solomon had a lot of wives

If you question that Ismael was not a real son of Abraham then just look up Genesis 16:11, 16:15, 17:7, 17:23, and 17:25.

Page 28: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

The word Mono-genes translated as only begotten Why do we read these verses? Because in these passages God

recognized Ismael as Abraham’s son If God is recognizing Ismael as

Abraham’s son 14 years before Isaac was born how can Isaac be the only begotten son?

Page 29: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

So what are we actually saying.. What does it mean that Jesus is the son

of God? Kats have kittens, dogs have puppies. What does it mean for God to have a

son? Does God have a baby God? Is he a number two God?

Page 30: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

So what are we actually saying.. At this point every one’s own personal

opinion comes in to play. People explain it in different ways

If we truly look at it honestly, no one really understands the concept

According to the Trinity Doctrine, Jesus and God are co-equal, co-eternal, and of the same substance.

Page 31: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

So what are we actually saying.. That means they are co-eternal, but how can

a son be eternal, if he comes from the Father This was an early argument from the

Unitarian priest Arias who basically said if you’re going to call him the son, you can’t call him eternal.

Because the son comes from the father. How can they be of the same substance? How can they be co-equal? One prays to the other. Jesus prayed to God.

Page 32: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

So what are we actually saying.. If Jesus had Godly powers himself he

wouldn’t call on or pray to God. To pray to God means you’re in need of

God. The purpose of Prayer is to ask God to do

something for you. If you have Godly powers you do anything

you want. So one sincerely reflects on this they will realize that it does not make sense.

Don’t listen to me , Just ask your Bible The NIV, NRSV, The Good news Bible, The

Jerusalem Bible and many others have recognized the arguments presented and have removed this from their biblical texts.

The NIV and Revised Standard Version are the most sold and authentic bibles in the history of mankind

You will find the biblical scholars themselves have removed this from their texts.

Page 35: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

Don’t listen to me , Just ask your Bible But no I grew up on the King James Bible. The problem with this argument is that King

James Version was written in 1611. That’s 400 years old. There were many biblical texts found after

that. The earliest biblical texts ever discovered were the codex vaticanis and the codex sanatacus, and they were discovered after the King James Version was written.

Page 36: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

Don’t listen to me , Just ask your Bible So the newer Bibles are agreed upon by

a coalition of different Christian groups and they agree on the New Revised Standard Version.

Page 37: Top 5 reasons why jesus is not the begotten son of god

So Who was Jesus? He was exactly what he said he was. He was a Man. He was Prophet barring revelation from

God. He was sent only to the lost sheep of the

house of Israel. He was there to bring them back from

their deviation and to provide a revelation to keep the people on the correct path.
