Admin	Two sons:Can God have two sons? Posted : 26 Aug, 2010 03:45 PM Who are these two sons? Notice the postions,and the attitudes of everyone involved here. Luk 15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: Luk 15:12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. Luk 15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. Luk 15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. Luk 15:15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. Luk 15:16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. Luk 15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! Luk 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, Luk 15:19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. Luk 15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. Luk 15:21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. Agape' and Charis: St. George Luk 15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: Luk 15:23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: Luk 15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. Luk 15:25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. Luk 15:26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. Luk 15:27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. Luk 15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. Luk 15:29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: Luk 15:30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. Luk 15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. Luk 15:32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. Post Reply

View Profile History	Two sons:Can God have two sons? Posted : 26 Aug, 2010 09:28 PM Be careful interpreting parables. You get the quick punch and stop breaking it down. The parable is about the Father, not his sons. If the sons represent anyone it would be sinful man and the two different responses he has towards God, a heart of humility that leads to repentance or a heart of bitterness & selfishness, focusing only on "me". I see a Father who actively seeked reconciliation, one son left and he patiently waited for his return, the other son he went out to, begging him to come in to the celebration. I am not sure where you wanting to go with the sons here either. Post Reply
View Profile History	Two sons:Can God have two sons? Posted : 27 Aug, 2010 02:27 AM I believe this parable is about ones relationship with the Lord. We can live in complete assurance of the relationship,we have with the Lord (My Father). Luk 15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! Luk 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, This could also remind us that there are those living completly depending upon the Grace of the Lord (The younger son):Maybe the believers in Christ? Compared to those living according to the law,rules and regulations (The older son). Maybe Jewish believers? Living according to the law,rules and regulations could harden our hearts to where we will not recognize or even acknowledge as our brothers and sisters,those living according to Grace. There are some on this site that have different affiliations and understandings about Yeshua,and His word; Yet are they trusting Yeshua to save them from the wrath and judgement of GOD against sin. Joh 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. There are some on this site that oppose what I believe,just because what I believe might be different then the so-called normal Christian understanding. Yet my relationship in Yeshua is sure,guarded and protected by Yeshua himself. Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Either what i do is because i want to be having a relationship with the Lord: Or,What i do is because I HAVE a relationship with the Lord. One is about doing,The other is about resting in Christ.

The laborers that were there all day received the same pay as the ones that were there for only a few hours. I wouldn't count one as "legalistic" though. In both stories the laborers that worked longer/harder and the son that stayed with the father all received their inheritance/wages, the same as the prodigal son and the other laborers. Both parables have the underlying "moral of the story" of God chastising us not to feel "cheated" when a soul is saved. The Jews felt that they were better than the gentiles, probably the same way we feel "better" than other people sometimes. :peace::peace: Post Reply
mr_manners View Profile History	Two sons:Can God have two sons? Posted : 27 Aug, 2010 11:47 AM Easy! The son that stayed is the faithful follower of Jesus. The son who left was a backslider. Obviously the father is Jesus (isiah 9:6). The text says that the prodigal son came to himself and returned. His repentance was accepted when he decided to come back. God has many sons.... For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14 Post Reply

Meaning he will receive his rightful inheritance. Just because the son was a little dissatisfied doesn't mean that he's "lost". He was a faithful son. A faithful child of God. :peace::peace: Post Reply
