َGod has no sons

🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:

📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚

God calls many His sons.

If you're Muslim, I'm not equipped at this time with enough apologetical knowledge to rebut you other than by stating the fact that Mohammed received the Koran from a demon masquerading as Gabriel, and if you don't understand that, you and I aren't going to be able to agree on anything and I'll just stick to the truth.

🔴 What does "Son of God" mean?

🔵 Nowhere in the Bible does it refer to material descent

🔴 It is clearly a metaphorical term👇🏼

{ the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.}

(Luke 3:38)

{... for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.}

(Jeremiah 31:9)

{ And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn}

(Exodus 4:22)

Yes, it does. I suggest you look up the Hebrew words that are translated in those passages.

Working with English translations obscures too much of the specificity of all the passages you are citing.

Plus also, the obvious New Testament passages that put the kibosh on that debate from Jesus being called God's son (and Him calling God father, and not in a general way) to the adoption and inference language in various Epistles.

This is so basic, it's hard to discuss with someone that can't be bothered to do even that level of basic textual analysis.

The Bible uses sons in both the normal physical progeny manner and more conceptually (as in the adoption I mentioned above).

*adoption and inheritance

As to what it means, it depends on the context, obviously. A common use is in reference to the other divine beings that God created, referred to rather often.

Anywhere the word "Elohim" is used when not referring to The Most High is a reference to "Sons of God" by inference if not by explicit mention.
