Why is it that some people including even some christians did not believe that Jesus is the son of God?

An Aramaic scholar tells me that nowhere in the original texts of the Bible [written in Aramaic, soon after Jesus was crucified] was it mentioned that Jesus [or anyone else, for that matter !] said that he is the Son of God.\n...Jesus actually said 'WE are the CHILDREN of God' - to imply that all human beings are equal in God's eyes.\n...But in subsequent translations, the intepreters [who already had the setting-up of a powerful religion in their minds] conveniently changed Jesus' statement from the plural to the singular. And [male chauvinists, all !] corrected the gender-neutral 'children' into 'son(s)' as well !\n...If we take Jesus' own words [spoken in Aramaic] into account, then all of humanity [including Jesus !] will be children of God.\n...But, several people [including even some christians] found it [and still find it] difficult to digest the mis-translated statement that Jesus himself claimed that he alone was the 'son of God' !\n...From the overall image that one has of Jesus, he comes through as a thorough gentleman - who cannot really be associated with mouthing such 'tall claims' !\nThose are the handiwork of Jesus' 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations of 'followers' - who needed such crudities as 'prop's for their 'campaigns' !

Unfortunately, I don't believe in God anymore. I do believe that Jesus existed, but I don't believe he was the son of God. There are to many unanswered questions that people try to satisfy with faith and misleading stories passed down through the ages. As time goes on it is becoming harder and harder to believe in God as we learn more and more about our world and where we came from. Like may thousands of other things that puzzled humankind through the ages, the existence of God will one day be dispelled. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, that's just the conclusion I have come to after years of thought.

It would have to do with what they believe to be true... Christianity is the same way... The Bible says that Jesus is the way the truth and the life, and no man comes to the father, but through him. I am a christian by the way, and I think that Bible is clear on how we are to be saved, and how we get to heaven, so I would not be able to believe that there are many ways to heaven if Jesus is saying he is the only way. I can say that Jesus is only a good teacher (muslim teaching) and the bible say that is his the king of kings and the Lord of Lords... the Messiah savior of the world. so I think all religion or most religion have a "line in the sand" some where.

Very Interesting!\n\nNo i don't beleive that Jesus is a son of God!and yes i believe that Jesus performed many miracles with the help of God. But he was human just like us.\n\nAnd if anyone beleives this then please tell me :\n\n  If you had a child , would'nt you protect that child and save that child from harm ?\n\nSo why did God not save his "son" from the so called being nailed to the cross?\nI mean God is the Greatest ! so he can do anything .\n\nWhy would you believe in Gods "son"?\n\nWhy don't you believe in God the creator of everything in this universe ,everything below the earth , everything between the earth and the sky and everything above the sky?

Son of God can be applied to other people besides Jesus, and it does apply to other people in the Bible.  It would be like saying Child of God.  It does not mean divine necessarily.\n\nAnyhow, Christians do see Jesus as a unique son of God, the Divine Son of God.  They feel that if he was just a man, he would not have been able to forgive people's sins by his sacrifice on the cross.  But if he is divine, and totally perfect, then he would have been a perfect sacrifice, and he can act as a mediary betweeen them and God, whom they see as totally unapproachable any other way.\n\nWhy do you believe he was a Prophet?  How do you know anything about what he said and did?  All our knowledge of what Jesus said and did comes from the New Testament, so if you believe parts of it, why not the whole thing?  I know that you think that the Qur'an gives correct information on Jesus and all that came before, BUT WHY DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?  Why not believe that the Prophet Muhammad was just speaking what was on his mind about it, giving his own human interpretation, and was NOT delivering the message of God?  \n\nYou believe this on faith, I would say.  Similarly, Christians believe what they do based on faith.

The New American Standard Bible reads, "the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son."   The NASB capitalizes "Him."  So, the non-believer is not calling Christians liars, and he is not making himself a liar, but he is calling God a liar because he has not believed God's testimony.  God is the one saying, "this is My Son."  So, if anyone doesn't believe this, then he is calling God a liar.\n\nOn the other hand, the believer has God's testimony within himself, so he will never doubt that Jesus is the Son of God.\n\nSee Matthew Henry's Commentary

jesus was nither GOD nor the son of GOD..he was one of his most pious and high rated messenger n prophet...he was not entrusted with the powers 2 make others believe in god or the right path..he was here 2 teach n preach...n 2 spread th religion of god...he didnt die....he will be coming back before the day of judgement...but it was certainly not jesus's job 2 make every1 beleieve n act upon what was rite...it was then left to the ppl's discretion either 2 chose or deny the right path....

Amazing how so many people actually believe there is evidence supporting the Jesus myths.\n\nThe only evidence anyone has that a person named Jesus of Nazareth existed is the bible itself. The primary reason people believe it to be true is because the Roman Empire executed anyone who refused to accept it as true.\n\n"Christianity"  is the biggest fraud in the history of mankind.

Much of the christian world is in the dark about islam. Christianity is not a religion that accepts those who do not believe in the same religion. Too many people know too little about other religions, and than make ignorant statements about what they do not know.

I think they believe in the existence of Christ, but do not believe He is/was the Messiah.  But He is!

Jehovah witnesses do not believe that Jesus is the son of God.  They chose to distort the bible to engulf their own beliefs.  The bible is not a buffet, you have to accept it in its entirety.  If you call parts of it a lie, then you are calling God a liar.  God is a God of truth, love and forgiveness.

Jesus told us very clearly about God, and that he is REAL, many people question Jesus as the son of God, but all those miracles he performed were to prove it. so, as he is telling the truth, there is a God. You need faith.

No we dont. I believe in Jesus as son of God, hence Christian. If I were Muslim Id believe him a prophet, and if I were Jew, I would not believe in him at all.

Jesus isn't gods son he is one of the prophets the only difference was that has born without a father one of god miracles to prove that he can do anything. he created Adam and eve without a father or mother ,Jesus without a father and the rest with both father and mother .it was man made fact as they couldn't apprehend how the virgin Mary gave birth without getting married particularly that Jesus had a lot of miracles he used to cure people restore sights for blinds ,etc. couldn't u think for a minute if Jesus is son of god why did he let him being crucified and tortured by the Jewish, wouldn't be much better if he raise him to the heaven at the time of crucifixion and let the person who betray Jesus who some say that is Judas being crucified instead of him that why on the judgment day he is going to come and fight against the bad people and break the cross.  try to use the common sense in every thing ,god will never say something contradict our brain. if he really  wanna us to believe in every thing as it is ,he would not create us with brains from the beginning and we would be like the rest of his creatures worshiping him blindly . god is only one ,he doesnot have son nor is he married to Mary how our creator the one we worship him could have the sexual desire .he isnot a human being it was a soul we believed it was gabriel that asked by god to do this miracle .and by the way try to revise ur bible and tell me wether jesus said that by himselfor not.

Jesus was not son of God, he was a prophet.

There are many scriptures on the subject of non-believers not being saved.  Since so many people seem to think that only the words of Jesus are true, lets look at what he said...\nMark 6:15  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. \nMark 16:16  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.\n\nJohn 3:36  (again Jesus speacking)  He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. \n\nJohn 3:18 (again Jesus speaking)  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

God and Jesus are different. God is the father and Jesus is the son of God.
