There have been many who were human beings but claimed to be the Son of God. They were simply human males. They were not the Son of God or one of God's Sons. They thought that idea by themselves. They said it to themselves first and liked the sound of it. Then they announced it before others and met on opposition. They announced it again and met no opposition. Then they claimed to be God's Son every time they appeared in public.
They knew they were not God's Son. They knew they were lying unless they were mentally off balance. If they were mentally sane they knew they were trying to deceive others who would acept their statements.
There were lots of people who, in their minds, disbelieved these men and discussed it at home with their wives or with other men. But, it seemed that no one seemed to challenge them,, expecially if these men were powerful leaders of groups of people. Thus the men and women who did not think that way kept their mouths shut for fear of being beheaded. Thus the leader kept saying he was God's Son. Soon others repeated what he said. History books wrote about it. It became known that "so and so" said he was God.
But he could not stop a storm like Jesus did. He could not heal diseases as Jesus did. He could not rise from the dead as Jesus did. He could not reappear to people as Jesus did. He could not ascend into heaven as Jesus did. So they lied. They were not Gods. Only Jesus was truly God because he did prove it.

I remember the series of sermons you preached for us so many years ago on Jesus Christ. They truly impacted my life and changed my focus from the ritual of religion to my relationship with Jesus Christ. Thanks again -Kris
