Thats why there is a distinction in Christianity. In Scripture,
Anointed Christians are adopted sons because they become God’s sons legally through adoption.
But Jesus is a literal, begotten son because he is produced directly by God, our Father. Literal son in a relational sense, not biologically
🚨Age of Rebekah EXPLAINED
⚠️ Rebekah was NOT 3 years old when she married Isaac
Let’s clear this up:
👇🏽
• Genesis 23:1 states Sarah died at 127 years old
• Genesis 17:17 states Sarah was 90 when Isaac was born
• 127 - 90 = 37 → Isaac was 37 when Sarah died.
⸻
• Genesis 25:20 states Isaac was 40 when he married Rebekah.
• 40 - 37 = 3 → This means Rebekah had to be born when Sarah died if she were 3 at marriage.
• But there is no verse that directly states Rebekah was born at Sarah’s death—it is a speculative assumption.
• Genesis 24:15 introduces Rebekah as already born and living with her family before the servant arrives—implying she was not a newborn.
• The narrative gives no mention of a birth, naming, or introduction of a new child in Bethuel’s house after Sarah’s death.
• If Rebekah were born the year Sarah died, she would’ve only just turned 3 at the time of marriage, which makes the entire chapter (Genesis 24) implausible.
• However, Genesis 24 describes Rebekah as a young woman, physically strong, and making mature decisions—impossible for a 3-year-old.
⸻
• Genesis 24:16 – Rebekah is described as a “na’arah” (נערה), a Hebrew term meaning a young woman at a marriageable age, not a minor.
• “Ketana” (קטנה) or “tinokes” (טנוקס) refers to a minor or young girl before the age of 12
• Genesis 24:19-20 – She voluntarily draws water for 10 camels (~25-30 gallons per camel), requiring immense physical strength.
• Genesis 24:58 – She agrees to leave home and marry Isaac, demonstrating mental maturity and autonomy. A 3-year-old cannot consent or make such decisions.
⸻
• Rebekah was the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor (Genesis 22:20-23).
• Nahor was Abraham’s brother, meaning Bethuel was at least a full generation younger than Abraham.
• If Rebekah were born right at Sarah’s death, Bethuel would need to have fathered her at an extremely old age, which is never suggested in the text.
• Rebekah is introduced as a fully functioning member of her household—active in daily duties and treated as a young adult.
• There is no mention of her being an unusually young or miraculous child, which would be highly notable in ancient texts.
⸻
• The Bible indicates a clear 3-year gap between Sarah’s death and Isaac’s marriage.
• A camel drinks 25-30 gallons of water after a long journey.
• Abraham’s servant had 10 camels (Genesis 24:10).
• That means Rebekah drew at least 250-300 gallons of water by hand.
• A typical water jar in ancient times held 3-5 gallons.
• Even if she carried only 3 gallons per trip, she would need to make at least 80-100 trips from the well to the trough.
• A 3-year-old child typically weighs 25-35 pounds and cannot lift, carry, or repeatedly transport 3-5 gallons of water (25-40 pounds).
• Drawing water required lowering a heavy jar or skin bucket into a deep well, then pulling it up hand-over-hand using a rope.
• A toddler does not have the arm strength, coordination, or endurance to do this even once, let alone 80+ times.
• Genesis 24:19-20 says she “quickly emptied her jar” and “ran back to the well.”
• A toddler cannot “quickly” run back and forth while hauling heavy water jars.
• The servant, an experienced traveler, would never expect or accept help from a toddler to water 10 camels.
———
• A 3-year-old cannot physically draw water, make independent decisions, or be called a na’arah.
• The most logical scenario is that Rebekah was a teenager (12-20), the standard marriage age in ancient cultures.
• The claim that Rebekah was 3 years old at marriage is mathematically, linguistically, and logically impossible.

How is the English word “God” used in scripture?
Well it has semantic range
There are 2 categories:
1. God
[The Almighty/The Most High/The Uncreated source of all things]
👉 there is only 1 God …. Jehovah
The One that deserves sacred worship ALONE
__________________________________
2. god
[title for a created being in a certain capacity]
Either
- a representative of God who carries the authority of God
- or simply a mighty being
👉 there are many gods in Scripture
(Angels, Jesus, Moses, Satan, King Solomon, Human judges, and more)
All called gods
_________________________________
The Apostle Paul said:
1 Corinthians 8:5,6
5 For even though there are those CALLED gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,”
6 there is actually to us ONE God, the Father 🍃
👆
Your question is the exact same as me asking “how many Gods didn’t die on the Cross?”
Its a category error. Do you want to have a mature conversation by discussing how the word “god” is used in scripture?
Or will u continue to avoid that convo?
Because ur true or false question doesn’t apply to Jesus. Would you like to know why?
