The word Son refers to a direct creation of God.
The angels were direct creations of God, and are called Sons in Job. If you are adopted into God's family, then you are a spiritual Son of God. Adam was the only physical Son of God, because God actually made his body apart from any human.
All humans are sons of God because we came from His hand indirectly @ birth.
Jesus is The Only Begotten Son of God because He also had no beginning, and has existed eternally with the Father. (So we capitalize pronouns when they refer to Jesus, the Father, or the Holy Spirit) Humans can never reach 'begotten' status with God because then we would be God(s).

In the Tanakh, the phrase "son(s) of god" has multiple meanings:
The Hebrew phrase Benei Elohim, often translated as "sons of God", describes angels or immensely powerful human beings. See Genesis 6:2-4 and Book of Job 1:6. Many Bible scholars believe that this reflects usage in pre-Biblical near-eastern mythology.
It is used to denote a human judge or ruler (Psalm 82:6, "children of the Most High"; in many passages "gods" and "judges" seem to be equations). In a more specialized sense, "son of God" is a title applied only to the real or ideal king over Israel (II Samuel 7: 14, with reference to King David and those of his descendants who carried on his dynasty; comp. Psalm 89:27, 28).
Israel as a people is called God's "son", using the singular form (comp. Exodus 4: 22 and Hosea 11:1).
In the Tanakh the term itself does not connote any form of physical descent from, or unity of essence with, God. The Hebrew idiom conveys an expression of godlikeness or great power.
In Judaism the term "son of God" is rarely used in the sense of "messiah." Psalm 2 refers to God's appointed king of Zion as both God's messiah and like a son of god.

Hebrews 12:22 Myriads of angels
Jude 14
Revelation 5:11
Also read Genesis the 6th chapter how they gave up there possisons in heaven and came down to the earth to live with women.
1col. 1:14 Rev 3:14 Jesus was the first one of these spirit sons to be created. somebody had to be first?
Rev 12:7 says a war broke out in heaven and Micheal and his angels battled with the devil and his angels showing two oposeing sides.
Probably millions.

while the bible says that mary and joseph had other children aside from jesus, it also states that jesus was God's "only begotten son". (John 3:16)

I am a joint heir with Christ, I think all those in Christ are Gods children but their is only one Son of God.
I guess it depends on how you look at it, God is my heavenly Father so I guess we are his Sons and daughter.
I hope its billions and billions.

well firstly God isn't an animal who has sons. Christ is considered the son of God in the sense that he was a part of the endless power of God.

As many as are scattered across the earth. God created all of us, therefore making us all, his children.
