Today You Have Become My Son
Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee
(or literally)
Today you have become my son
Baptism of Christ
Jesus was the son of God, but he became a son not at his birth, but at his baptism. The key word here is today. Jesus became God’s son on that day. The redactors of the canonical gospels made forgeries to the story of the baptism so that people wouldn’t know that he was begotten of God on that day and not at or before his birth.
The fact that they removed these words can be proven through the bible itself. It is one of the strongest pieces of evidence that the bible is not perfect and not infallible. They cut this phrase out of the original gospel and made their copies and left only “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased”. There were other verses that they didn’t think about modifying — fortunately!
The following verses is not only a prophecy from Psalms 2, but also there are verses in Hebrews that show the undeniable fact that God announced to Jesus that he was begotten on that day:
Psa 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Heb 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (referring to 2Sa 7:14)
Heb 5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
For what motive did they remove this phase from the bible?
The event of the baptism of Jesus is probably the one most important event in the life of Jesus because it clearly shows exactly who Jesus was. The fact that some wicked men agreed together to take out this part of the story of the baptism of Jesus shows that the roman church purposely and conscientiously meant to make a god of Jesus, or rather the Almighty God of heaven. Because if Jesus became the begotten son of God at the age of 30, then he wasn’t born “THE Son of God” , The “Only Begotten Son of God”, in a literal sense where the Holy Ghost impregnated a virgin and she gave birth to a god-man.
Whether or not you believe in the “virgin birth”, is pretty much a mute point really, since Jesus becoming “the first begotten son of God“, when he was baptized at the age of 30, makes Jesus an adopted son of God, and not a literal begotten son as they would have you believe. Nevertheless, if Jesus metaphorically became a son of God at his baptism, then there is no need for him to be born of a virgin.
Having both of these concepts in the Bible at the same time creates a contradiction.
Either he was born of a virgin and was a man-god or he was an adopted son of God at his baptism which meant he was merely a “son of man” the same as the rest of us, born in a natural way with an earthly father and mother. This is the reason the redactors had to remove the phrase, “thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee”.
What makes this story even more believable is that in the original unaltered text it also says Jesus is his, “first begotten son“, not “only begotten son” as it is in the King James Version of the bible. The phrase “only begotten son” is a mistranslation. This means that Jesus would not be the only son of God, just the first. Which means that there would be other sons and daughters of God, just like it says in John chapter 1. “…to them gave he the power to become the sons of God…” (joh 1:12).
The Gospel according to the Hebrews says, first begotten son
Heb 1:6: And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he sayeth, And let all the angels of God worship him.
When the Lord came up out of the water the whole fount of the Holy Spirit descended upon Him and rested on Him saying, ‘My Son, in all the prophets was I waiting for You that You should come and I might rest in You. For You are My rest. You are My first begotten Son that prevails forever.’ ”
As it was spoken by God,
…as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
(just as God dwelt IN Jesus)
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
(God wants us all to be sons and daughters)
At Jesus’ baptism at the river Jordan, the Spirit of God Himself entered into Jesus at the moment. That is exactly the reason Jesus said that the Father is IN me. It is the same exact thing that happens with us, we are God’s temple and he lives IN us and we are sons of God and daughters of God, like Jesus was a son of God. This is obviously why Jesus referred to himself more than 80 times in the New Testament: “the son of man”. It was because he was a son of a man and a woman just as we are.
What did God mean by “begotten”?
Paolo Veronese, The Resurrection of Christ, c. 1570
In an ordinary sense, begotten means that a son or daughter is born to a parent — this is in a physical sense. What the roman church meant to show by re-wording the gospels was to try to show that Jesus was a literal son of God — begotten by God. What they try to show by the way that they altered it in the canonnical gospels of Matthew and Luke is that the Holy Ghost “came upon” Mary and impregnated her and she begat a god-man.
2Sa 7:14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son.
Sons of God and the Daughters of Men - 1850
The pagans worshiped their god-men
In many pagan religions their great men were made into gods and worshiped as such. The Greeks had this belief and they used this idea to try and win over pagans to Christianity. This seems to be the reason that they made Jesus into a god and worked the story of the virgin birth into the gospels. Another myth amongst many pagans was that their gods were triune — that is three gods in one. But the Lord God is ONE LORD not three.
Without a doubt, this is where the idea of the trinity originated. However, with Jesus being a god that only made two, they needed a third diety to make it a triune god. I suppose that is where the dogma of the “holy spirit” came in. The problem with this though, is that only God is holy and he is a spirit. Thus the “holy spirit” is actually God himself and not another god.
The Dogma of the Holy Trinity is not Scriptural nor is it true
So with Jesus being begotten in a metaphorical way only and the “holy spirit” actually being God himself, there is no triune god in Christianity and the dogma of the “Holy Trinity” is nothing more than a dogma of the roman church having absolutely no scriptural basis at all.
The fact of the matter is that anyone who believes Jesus’ teachings and does them is born of God and is a son of God.
What’s more is that whoever loves God is also a son of God and loves Jesus also. So this means that there are literally millions of sons of God all around the world.
1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Mat 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
In the very first gospel that was written by Matthew in the Hebrew language, known as the Gospel of the Hebrews, was the only gospel that was used by the early Christians, in fact the only writtings that were accepted by them. These are the unadulterated words from their beloved gospel:
After saying many things, this Gospel continues: “After the people were baptized, Jesus also came and was baptized by John. And as Jesus came up from the water, Heaven was opened, and He saw the Holy Spirit [God] descend in the form of a dove and enter into Him.
And a voice from Heaven said, ‘You are my beloved Son; with You I am well pleased.’ And again, ‘Today I have begotten You.’ “Immediately a great light shone around the place; and John, seeing it, said to Him, ‘Who are you, Lord? And again a voice from Heaven said, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’ Then John, falling down before Him, said, ‘I beseech You, Lord, baptize me!’ But He forbade him saying, ‘Let it be so; for thus it is fitting that all things be fulfilled.’” (Gospel of the Hebrews)
In this gospel the very first story was about Jesus’ baptism — there was nothing at all about the Virgin Birth!

How do you account for the prophecy of a virgin birth in Isaiah 7:14
It’s obvious you didn’t read the article. If you had you would know the answer to that.
1) The word virgin is a mistranslation. It really means “young woman”
2) As it turns out, the young woman was Isaiah’s wife who he made pregnant and she gave birth according to the prophecy
3) This was not the whole of the prophecy. Many things that were prophesied came to pass before Jesus time.
4) None of these things ever came to pass in Jesus’ time nor thereafter.
5) Jesus was not even named Emanuel.
The person who used this prophesy and wrote that gospel lived in the 2nd century and never even knew Jesus. No one knows his name and it certainly wasn’t the same person this gospel is named after — that’s what even most scholars say!
He copied and/or translated it (there are many copies) it from an original written in Aramaic. The original did not even have the story of the virgin birth.
Dear Doug,
thank you first and foremost for taking the time to search scripture for your position. Please allow me to reply to your comments to Kim:
1) The word virgin is a mistranslation. It really means “young woman”
The word as you correctly point out is young woman (literally ‘Maiden’). Sadly in this day and age, that doesn’t mean pure and untouched unlike back then.
2) As it turns out, the young woman was Isaiah’s wife who he made pregnant and she gave birth according to the prophecy
The prophetess of Is 8:3, I believe like you is Isaiah’s wife. There are 2 children mentioned that are born to Isaiah – Shear-jashub and Maher-shalal-hash-baz. The prophecies of Isaiah 7, verse 16 suggests that the boy (Immanuel) would not yet be born when the lands of Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah king of Israel (2 kgs 15,16) would be deserted. I am sure you would then reason that the “boy” does not yet “know how to refuse evil and choose the good”, and I believe I’ve understood that you link the boy in Is 7:16 to the boy in Is 8:4 (Maher-shalal-hash-baz), which is a canny resemblance I admit, but I personally see that the emphasis in the grammar of Is 7:8 (English, French and German grammar only, sorry my hebrew is nothing like good enough to destruct the syntax of a sentence) is that the emphasis is on the fact that the birth has not yet taken place, thence the boy (in flesh, as human) is not there to choose evil or good, because the incarnation has not yet happened. Thus this does not negate the fact that Jesus is LORD (YHWH and Kurios) as depicted in many passages, and insinuated in others.
3) This was not the whole of the prophecy. Many things that were prophesied came to pass before Jesus time.
4) None of these things ever came to pass in Jesus’ time nor thereafter.
I presume from these you are suggesting that if the parts of the prophecy aren’t all met at around the same time, then the Immanuel passage would not randomly speak of another time. This is logical and I’m grateful you have used common sense to structure your position – this is much better than just ‘trust and obey’. Isaiah approached Ahaz with his son Shear-jashub. Names as I will later write about, are important in Hebrew especially in prophecies. Shear-jashub means ‘A remnant shall return’. As the people will be invaded by the Assyrians, they will be taken away, which obviously needs to happen before they can return. When is it that the remnant return? This I would ask you to check the rest of Isaiah and history books to find when this remnant has or will return. If all the prophecy is not fulfilled at the same time, then although it doesn’t prove the Immanuel passage to refer to Jesus’ incarnation, it would thus render you position void. Which if so, I would then implore you to prayerfully and studiously reconsider another one.
5) Jesus was not even named Emanuel.
The dismissal of Jesus being Immanuel dismisses also Mt 1:23. I believe you have made your point that you do not believe the account of Matthew, nor the inerrancy of scripture, so I won’t belabour the point. However I would like to develop this further about Immanuel – God with us. Is that not what the Anointed One (Christ) was doing? Being God with us? El – God, that his very office, his title. Jesus – (Isaiah, Yesha’yahu) the LORD saves, his name, an important part of hebrewology – a declaration of the glory and power of the LORD? His name being his very character and presence.
As God added to his deity the kind (Hebrew: mim Hebrews 2:14-17) ‘human’, which was created, he could not possess this body from eternity past, as He is eternal thus not created, the Alpha and Omega, He who was, who was in the beginning was with God, and was God. My question to you is why does Jesus insist on being baptized? Is that not a strange thing that he claims it is needed to fulfill all righteousness? What then is He referring to? Is it not the ordaining of the priest in exodus 29:4? The washing of the high priest so that He can do the work He is called for (Hebrews 5:4), which is one of the many foreshadows of Jesus?
To conclude, I believe that the anointing you talk of in your thesis that Jesus becomes the Son of God on ‘TODAY’, is to show the anointing of the Messiah, the anointed One, Christ, as the savior of the world taking on the ministry as God declared throughout the Torah, hence why God can repeatedly say through Isaiah that “which other Gods predicted this” (talking about bringing the remnant back – Isaiah 43), because of His, the LORD’s omnipotence and omniscience. What people have sadly construed as a rule book, is in fact the revelation of His glory, hence God foreshadowed so many things about Christ, from Genesis chapter 1 right through to the revelation of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Cor 4:6). To go back to Isaiah chapter 9, I would ask you to trust that this child born to us, the mighty God, whose government will never end, who will one day come as the lion of Judah to eventually sit on the throne of David,
and with justice and righteousness uphold His kingdom with His scepter which from Him will not depart, that this child was God, is God and always will be God, and thus His perfect life lived, His undeserved death endured and His glorious resurrection achieved, did so to grant you forgiveness of sins, freedom from the dominion of sin, and the perfect righteousness from God to stand before God unblemished and without fault, having been adopted into God’s family by simple faith in the Lamb who was slain.
Whats up, This can be a wonderful summation, I located your blog checking google for any similar subject and found this. I couldnt find too a lot other tips and info on this posting, so it was fantastic to find this one. I will most likely be returning to consider several other articles that you simply have written one more time.
What you have said is a perspective, and i cannot ridicule it. I ask, however, how do you know that the redactors of the bible changed scripture as you say they did, and with ill-intent? Further, if true, what if the word Son was capitalized when referring to Jesus in a True Son sense?
First, the Christian fathers themselves admitted this (some were good and others were dishonest). Second, we have other writings of Jesus that are more complete and it is obvious that things were removed that were there before. Third, hundreds of men that did the translations into modern English had some pretty astonishing comments about the differences in the best manuscripts that we have today that only date back to the 5th century — with parts that they left out since those parts were not in the original. Furthermore, there are, for example, several versions of the book of acts that are so different from one another that they say they look like different books and they are much different lengths.
Now to answer the second part of your question. God is a spirit. Literally speaking, “begetting” is a human function, not of God. God said Jesus became his son at his baptism, when he was 30 years old! Therefore, the begetting was symbolic and not literal as also indicated in prophecy. Jesus was “a” son, not “the” Son. The church has convinced people that the expression “The Son” means God. This is not true. Jesus’ had a biological father whose name was Joseph. The early Christians believed this.
I fully agree with author opinion.
I was reading this same blog topic from another blog, i guess this topic is getting popular
Thanks for an concept, you sparked at thought from a angle I hadn’t given thought of yet. Now lets see if I can do one thing with it.

Most of whatever you mention is astonishingly precise and that makes me ponder the reason why I had not looked at this with this light previously. Your piece truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this particular subject goes. However at this time there is 1 issue I am not too cozy with so whilst I try to reconcile that with the actual core idea of your point, permit me observe what all the rest of your subscribers have to say. Very well done.
Sensational info. I look forward to seeing more.
Thought our research might be of interest to you. Its regarding the discovering of the Self Defining Hebrew system that is embedded in ancient Hebrew, showing the correct translation of each word.

In That Respect there r surely a lot of details like that to take into consideration
Nice post. The information presented here was the best I could find all day long, and I have been searching tough on the Web. I believe you should put this up on a big social bookmarking site, you will discover that it spreads like wildfire – Cheers – dave

This information was a terrific inspiration to browse through. I’m certain that the following quote will get your interest. – “Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you’re scared.” ~ Eddie Rickenbacker (1890 – 1973)
Wow, superb blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your website is fantastic, let alone the content!
*An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not versed enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
The subject may be taboo, but I believe that people need to know the truth about it. The church fathers have kept people in the dark for such a long time and we are now coming into an age where people are starting to want to be enlightened in such a dark world.
