Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, but do they really understand what does it mean that Jesus is the "son of God"? Muslims also believe in Jesus as a prophet, the Holy Quran (the sacred book of Muslims) assure that the Almighty God have no sons, and therefor Jesus Christ according to the Quran is not the son of God because God have no sons! The Holy Quran is clear regarding Jesus the son of Mary, a human being, Jesus was born miraculously through the same power that had brought Adam into being without a father or a mother, a prophet was sent to the Children of Israel, and only to them. reading the old testament of the Bible, we will find the term "son of God" used to describe other people, some of them were also referred to as begotten son of God, while the Holy Quran is also clear that God begetteth not nor was begotten. the "son of God" in the Bible and What does it mean actually. Exodus 4:22 Jacob(Israel)is God's son and firstborn 2 Samuel 7:13-14 Solomon is God's son [b] Jeremiah 31:9[/b] Ephraim is God's firstborn (who is God's firstborn? Israel or Ephraim?) some people will argue that Jesus is the only begotten son of God, Well then, Read Psalms 2:7 "I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me (King David), Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.". Common people (you and me) are the sons of God: "Ye are the children of the LORD your God" Deuteronomy 14:1 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" Romans 8:14 "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:" John 1:12 "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;" Philippians 2:15 "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: ... now are we the sons of God" 1 John 3:1-2 "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" Job 38:7 "Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD," [u]Job 2:1 [/u] "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD," Job 1:6 "when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men," Genesis 6:4 "That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair" Genesis 6:2 As we can see from these and many other verses like them, "son of God" in the language of the Jews was a very innocent term used to describe a loyal servant of God. Whether the translators and editors chose to write it as "Son of God" (with a capital S) in reference to Jesus and "son of God" (with a small S) in reference to everyone else does not diminish the fact that in the original language, both cases are exactly the same. Now, Do you understand what does the term "son of God" in the Bible actually mean?
