Jesus as both GOD and Son of GOD, the differences in shared knowledge among Christians, and the mother of GOD are in view, today. Also, there is more on the bread of GOD. A “Yahoo! Answers” writer using the ID “Tamima” (Level 1 with 118 points, a member since February 27, 2014) posted the following that was originally asked on Yahoo Answers UK & Ireland:
Christians why do you believe that Jesus is the son of god?
You know it dons't make sense coz some Christians say that Jesus is the son of god while the others say Jesus is the god like what? if u call yourself Christians then how come you don't believe in the same thing because you don't see other religions doing that they all believe in the same god and the rules. Also my 2nd question is if Jesus is the son of god then how about the mother? you have no prove whatsoever!
THE BATTLE AXE: The Bread of GOD (03/01/2014)—All the things that increase and impart divine spirit content may be spoken of as bread from GOD. Included are the Bible, the continuing practice of sacraments (e.g., baptism, confession, the Lord’s Supper), fellowship with other believers, regular prayer, and focused study. In the same way that Jesus is to be received as the bread of GOD, the followers of Christ also are one bread and one body. See Psalms 22: 25-26, Ezekiel 34: 1-31, John 21: 13-17, 2nd Timothy 2: 14-16, 1st Corinthians 5: 5-13 and 10: 15-17, KJV.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
(Luke 8: 4-15, KJV)

“Tamima”, here are some points to consider that will never be “proof” to anyone spiritually blind, or those who seek to meddle in the things of GOD, yet, are vitally important to mature Christian belief:
(1.) Those who believe that divinity is operating in ways that may be recognized, and are visible for mankind must all learn a new way of speaking and thinking. It is as if there is a special language among believers that changes the use of certain words, and that absolutely must be used for understanding divine actions, sacred events, and eternal purposes. For example, “spirit” is no material or physical thing that exists. GOD is spirit; and Spirit is made up of spirit, and nothing else. Spirit is not cloud, fog, mist, smoke, or steam.
(2.) To acknowledge that GOD has appeared among mankind in the flesh (we say, incarnate) is necessary in order to more completely realize the full extent and reach of divine being, glory, power, and sovereignty. GOD has put forth the form and life essence (we say, spirit) of all created beings and living creatures; and continues to use the form of mankind to make divinity known and visible.
(3.) The personal and intimate relationship of “son” is used, rather than that of daughter or spouse, to communicate using peculiar ideas common to all mankind, such as courage, duty, gratitude, family, faithfulness, forgiveness, humility, inheritance, obedience, purity, and sacrifice.
There is a lot more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually understood that may not be presented, here, at this time. (For example, (4.) GOD must act to display and make knowledge of divinity possible (we say, reveal himself). The living must “discover” the aspects of GOD through life experiences that exhibit divine substance existing within such features as attitudes, behaviors, commitments, conditions, objects, and persons.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10: 9-10, KJV)
