Necessary questions for muslims
http://www.ipertisalithias.gr/index.php?cat=15&id=30&bg=18#article
DOES GOD HAVE MANY SONS IN THE BIBLE,
AS MUSLIMS CLAIM?
YES AND NO.
Muslims try to downplay that Jesus Christ
was a Son to God, since -they say- many were called sons of God. So Jesus
Christ being His Son, is nothing special
It is true that there were the angels and people called "sons of
God", but figuratively, in the sense, that there existence was brought by
a father figure, God; however, nowhere do we find any connection to them
literally being born of Him as we do for Jesus. Even Christians are considered
children of God, through a spiritual adoption, not a “biological” birth.
Having said that, I don’t understand why
people call Jesus Christ “Son of God”, unless they have never read the New Testament
and just repeat what ignorant or lying people say. Haven’t they at least have
heard that Jesus Christ was special, that He came from the Father, that He was
divine, that He emptied Himself from all His glorious attributes to become
human??
Now, if He was called “son of God”,
yes, this can imply there were other sons as well. This is not the case of the Jesus
Christ of the New Testament texts. Are you not aware of this?
In the Greek (I am Greek by
the way), Jesus is not called “Son of God” but “THE Son of God” (with the article).
Do you know what this means?
It means that:
a) God did not have any other
sons hence,
b) Jesus was His only Son,
this is why He is called repeatedly “The Son of God” (“Ο Υιός του Θεού). And this, is why we also literally read in John
that God:
John 3:16
a) “His OWN
(note it doesn’t simply say “His”
(“του”), but the emphasized “αυτού”, that is, not
just “His”, but “His own”)
b) Son,
c) the only one given birth
too,
d) he gave”
---The sentence in
Greek/English-à
ὥστε τὸν υἱὸν (the Son) αὐτοῦ (of His/His own) τὸν μονογενῆ (the only One given birth to)
ἔδωκεν (gave).
Some like to claim that the
word begotten (which is a frivolous translation) translated from μονογενή (correct translation àonly one given birth to) in
3:16, is not found in earlier manuscripts, but they forget or are not aware of
the fact that Jesus is called that again just after two verse in v.18:
because he did not believe (ὅτι μὴ πεπίστευκεν) in the name (εἰς τὸ ὄνομα) of the only given birth to Son of God (τοῦ ΜΟΝΟΓΕΝΟΥΣ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ).
The compound word μονογενής is still used today by Greeks to denote the same
thing: the only one given birth to.
But I will take it further.
For the discussion, even if I remove from the text the two uses of the word “μονογενή”, nothing changes!! The fact that Jesus is
-everywhere in the NT – called THE Son of God (with the article) still stands
as proof that He was -according to the writers- THE only Son of God, implying
His literal connection to the Father, hence His birth of Him. Logic says that
being the literal Son of God, means that He too had the eternal nature of
existence that the Father had; this means He was also God in nature, it can’t
mean anything else.
Indeed, as our earthly father is human in
nature, likewise, the Son of God the Father, is also God in nature.
