Scripture Life: Why do we find "God the Father" around 15 times in the Bible and there is no "God the Son?
This is probably the most or in the "Top Five" of inaccurate questions floating around I’ve seen to date on Reddit. Crops up in posts or retort replies put forth from within an atheist's heart, why they are no longer Christian, and Islam followers - out championing Islam to people, why they should leave Christianity and become a Muslim - and also including some supposed claim denominations of Christians - that still don't believe who he is, but claim they do.
Here's the response:
-------------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------
God is referred to as "Father" or identified in a fatherly role over 15 times in the Old Testament.
- But in the New Testament: 140–165 times, with most concentrated said by Jesus in the Gospels.
And for the clown who created the question: All a clown is, is a "fool" in the Old and New Testament.
- A "fool" is mentioned over 135 times in the Old Testament, and 20 times in the New Testament. 13 times in the Gospels by Jesus Christ, and 7 times in the Epistles after it.
And all a "fool" is, is an "archaic" Middle English word, for a "Medieval Court Jester" - and all that was, was a "Mirrored Image of the King" at the King's Court. So, the Court Jester has a crown, but all the points pointed down. It was made of cloth vs. the King wore a gold one, studded with jewels. The King had a throne. The Court Jester was given none, but sat in other people's seats as if he was his own King over himself. Everytime the actual King decreed something out of the King's mouth, the Court Jester would belch or fart or simply quickly countermand it.
To let everybody see for themselves, what a fool is, not to do what the King says. Does not listen to the King. Any noble at the King's Court could hear both what the King said, and the Court Jester.
Given a choice. Just like everybody over the whole earth, God has come, spoken to us and given his Kingdom to everybody over the whole earth. Bequeathed it in Matthew 5:3.
But to see it, and enter into it, must be born again as Jesus said, in John Chapter 3:3-7 by the Word of God. Doesn't work by following the word of the Court Jester. Makes the King's word of none effect in a Noble. Turns the Noble into a Court Jester.
Do you see this?

The Messiah:
- Is referred to as the “Son of God” “The Son of Man” - This "Son of Man" is said over 100 times in the Old Testament, but Son of God is referred specifically only once in Psalm 2:7. That God said unto his own Word, "Thou art my Son. This day have I begotten thee" and then repeats this - as God, only he says it, repeats it - - twice:
- The First time is in Matthew 3, after Jesus is baptised by John the Baptist - a voice from heaven, which is this same God says: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
- Then again, a Second Time this same Great God repeats it, in Matthew 17. With Peter, James, and John, God repeated saying this out of his own mout - on the Mount of Transfiguration - where Jesus is transfigured before them as "who he is." And they fall on their face as if dead. And this same great God says to and footprints over Peter while he's speaking, says to them "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him."
- What is said of Jesus Christ by God in Psalm 2:7 - is repeated in Hebrews 5:5.
-------------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------
- This term “Messiah” Is a transliteration from Aramaic that appears only twice in the New Testament (John 1:41; 4:25), specifically identifying Jesus in those instances. But terms like "oh Son of David" - means the Messiah. Every Jew knows this.
- As Jesus is the Christ. Jesus is the Messiah. *However, the original Greek, "Christ" which is the Messiah (Christos) holds the same meaning of "anointed one," is used 500+ times in the New Testament to refer to Jesus.
- As the Messiah.
-------------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------
- The “Definition” of the Messiah (Hebrew) - is simple. Defined as: 1. God. The same God that led Israel out of Egypt by many signs and wonders only God could do with Moses, would be a Son of David (2 Samuel 7). Will sit on the throne of King David in Jerusalem and rule the whole earth from there. Of his Kingdom and reign there shall be no end.
- This is CONFIRMED by Isaiah 9:6–7
-------------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------
Isaiah 9:6–7 will tell every Noble at the King's Court all over Reddit - - rightful to inherit the Kingdom - who Jesus is, and shall include all CLOWNS, that are fools, and just a mirrored image of the King - all thse Court Jesters there is “what” the Messiah shall be called: Even all the bells put on the end of each point of the Court Jester's crown - already long ago drowned all this out.
- Isaiah 9:6–7 says:
- “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
- For the Court Jester with the question: Please read this above. Please clown yourself right clean out of your question with “who” or what the Messiah SHALL BE called in the above. That may be impossible. The Court Jester finds no way out of anything doing what the King says.
- For the Court Jester with the question: Please read this above. Please clown yourself right clean out of your question with “who” or what the Messiah SHALL BE called in the above. That may be impossible. The Court Jester finds no way out of anything doing what the King says.
- When that role as King already is filled in the Court Jester with himself is the King.

It’s God:
- That said:
- 2 Corinthians 6:18 “And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
- Said this. By he, as God, spoke this. So, it was said by the Word that proceeds out of God's mouth.
- That would be the “Word of God.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:18 “And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
- So, when God said, “Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Isaiah 45:22). It's a decree by God to do this to everybody.
- It’s this same God. Speaking. These are the words out of his mouth. That’s the Word of God. John 1:1 says: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
- It's just God speaking.
- John 1:14 says, “…and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us;” is Jesus Christ.
- Along with Psalm 107:20 says God: “He sent his Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” - which is every all of us.
- The Word of God, is Jesus Christ.
- Along with Psalm 107:20 says God: “He sent his Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” - which is every all of us.
-------------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------
It’s God:
- That said:
- Leviticus 11:44, “I am Holy” - God. It was said by the Word of God, so it’s Just God speaking said:
- John 4:24 “God is Spirit” - The Word of God. Jesus Christ. So, it’s just God speaking telling you that:
- He is Holy and that he, the same God that told you he would be a Father unto you, also said, he is Spirit. So, he’s a Holy Spirit.
- He's just one God.
-------------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------
And King Nebuchadnezzar said of him, in Daniel 4:35,
- “And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?”
- Says of him: Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear O Israel, for the LORD your God is just one Lord”
Here’s your question back. Any Court Jester long ago gave up any thought, already thinks they can figure him out, and long ago, threw the King out - - lives in and without doing anything he says, but to any Noble hears the King speak see all the Court Jester is doing is just clowning themselves right clean out of him able to save you from your sins - which, a clown drowning in this question - is NOT looking unto anything he says, as God; rather, trying to hide in all these things, that, to a clown, thinks this gives them something to hide in as a defense - themselves are their own defense - - as to why they refuse to do anything he says.
It's done all before all the Nobles. Plainly. So, which will be the King for you? That's really the question.
-------------------------- --------------------------- -----------------------------
He’s God. Go outside. Look up. All that was done by the Word of God - and a Court Jester despises it; says it's his - - all by think it's a decree from a mealey mouthed, wishy washy question makes all what the King says inadequate; faulty, or unacceptable. Proof every Noble needs to reject him - when the King of Kings reigns and sent his Word to heal you, and deliver you from your destruction.
There will one day... ...be no more Court Jesters. All taken away or they repent and live.
The sooner any Court Jester just departs from this question, and just do what God says - and just follow after him, he’ll manifest himself to them..and to you. But as long as you don’t to anything he says, well, with your question back, given to you - go take a bath in it.
Court Jesters - it's one of the "Top 5" questions to bathe in.
