Jesus truly is the Son of God!

Acts 9:18-20 (KJV)

18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

This passage from Acts 9 follows Paul's heavenly vision of Jesus Christ. Post resurrection, very few have had the pleasure of direct visions of Christ. Paul is one of them.

In verse 18, we see that scales fell from Paul's eyes, previous to this Paul was not only temporarily physically blinded but he had been spiritually blinded as well as he persecuted "the way". Notice that once Paul received his sight he was baptized. Remember the requirement for baptismnis confession that Jesus is the Son of God (Acts 8:37, 1 John 4:15) and repentance from sins. Paul must have done both before being baptized.

Verse 19, Paul is strengthed and also fellowshiped with the disciples at Damascus. Paul was anointed for the ministry straight away and was anointed by Christ. Many men and women go to seminaries to learn more about the bible and yet they come out more confused. They end up complicating and making void the word of God. Seminaries are man's way of estimating someone being anointed. Jehovah's way is different. Remember, the Holy Spirit is our teacher not man. We can learn from man but ultimately it's the Holy Spirit that guides us into all truth. Only God and His Son can anoint someone to preach the gospel, seminaries are a tradition of man.

Verse 20, Paul's first sermon was preaching that Christ is the Son of God. This is the result of being anointed by Jesus to preach the gospel. The evidence of being anointed by Jesus is preaching that He is the Son of God. When men and women attend seminary and get their degrees they come out preaching another Jesus, a trinity or tri theistic Jesus who is one third of a trinity god. Why is this? Because they still have scales upon their eyes. They need a fresh revelation from Jesus Christ in order to know His true identity. Many will not have the scales removed because they trust in their religious education rather than the leading of the Holy Spirit. Paul said to follow his example as he follows Christ. Paul did not teach a trinity Jesus but he taught that Jesus is indeed the Son of God.

Entrance into the Kingdom of Jehovah necessitates a confession that Jesus is truly the Son of God. Unfortunately most denominations don't require this of potential converts and instead baptize them into a denomination and confessing that God is a trinity along with other man made requirements. Would the apostle Paul approve of modern Christendom's denial of Christ's literal Sonship? Would Paul approve of the false heretical teaching that Jesus Sonship is metaphorical? I can confidently say "No", Paul didn't preach that Jesus is the eternal Almighty God but rather that He is the Son of the eternal Almighty God.

Do you trust the words of Paul who had a direct revelation of Jesus or the words of men and women who have gained their education about Christ at spiritually dead seminaries?

I'll go with Paul and believe and preach that Jesus truly is the Son of God!!
