ptized and God now recognizes him as his son: "You are my dear son, I am proud of you." This may not have meant anything more significant than it did in the Old Testament. During the Transfiguration, a voice from the cloud says: "This is my son, my dear" and it is clear that the voice of God was still referring to Jesus. The same words are used in both Baptism and Transfiguration, so it is likely that meant the same in both cases. Mark mentions the Holy Spirit in Baptism. This is the only time he mentions it and this might suggest that it's... middle of paper... that it's an open question and people should be allowed their own point of view. Faith is not an exact truth, and debate can help people solidify their beliefs. I would say it's important to keep the title because that alone doesn't stop people from becoming Christians. Christians usually want to join the Church because of what they believe, not because their faith is undecided on an issue. If the title were abolished, it would mean changing something that has been non-existent for around 2000 years and which has been so central to Christianity for so long. Changing a historic religion today is much more likely to discourage people than disagreement over the meaning of a title. Therefore, I think there is absolutely no reason to abandon it. Removing the title Son of God would cause more problems than it would save..
