Why the God can not have a son ? when the Christians have so many fathers I mean they address all he priest in Church etc. as father, why God can not have. there is nothing wrong.
In Hinduism we have only one father and call him only as father. But we have so many mothers. Any women we see is our mother, the Earth is our Mother our language is our Mother,etc., etc. In Hindu mythology gods have sons and it is allowed.

Jesus is Gods son. Jesus was his son before he made us. A human gave birth to Jesus cause Jesus was meant to live as a human. Humans come from a woman. Jesus died because the wages of sin is death. Jesus died so we could have eternal life. Someone had to pay for our sin and Jesus did so we could be with him. All we have to do to get to heaven is know that Jesus did this and that he is the true son of God and we can go to heaven!
Jesus saves! God is awesome! The Holy Spirit is amazing!

Many questions here, so I will try to break it down.
1) You have it backwards. We humans are created in God's image, so it is not God who is like us, rather, we have sons because we are created to be like God.
2) Why did he need a human to give birth? He didn't. But the Bible says that Jesus (pbuh) intended to become fully human, to live a human's life, so that no one could accuse God of not knowing what it was like to live on Earth as a weak human and struggle to obey God's commands. God chose to be born of a woman because all other humans are born that way.
3) Why didn't God protect his son? Because God sent his son to Earth on purpose to die for our sins, to offer up his only son as a sacrifice even as Abraham offered up his son. It was God himself who slew Jesus as a blood sacrifice for sins, since Moses (pbuh) said that without the shedding of blood, there can be no forgiveness of sins.
----------------------------------------------
Question:
... Anyway, I read the question asking if God died, and the answer. My question is: Why, since God created everything, did He become human in the first place? He knows everything, so what is the purpose?
Peter Ballard responds:
The classical argument is:
1. God views sin seriously, and a price must be paid to atone for sin.
2. Only a human may pay it, because it is humanity which has sinned.
3. Only God is able to pay it, because humans are imperfect.
4. Therefore the only way that humans' sin may be paid for, is by God becoming a person, and paying the price as a person.
We might also add that by becoming a man, God
(a) showed us how to live and
(b) partook in human suffering.
Therefore God is not a "do as I say, not as I do" God.

He wanted Jesus to grow up as a normal human, from baby to man. Even though Jesus is God's son, He himself is God. It's the idea of a Trinity. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is three and one at the same time. It's mind-boggling but I truly believe it.
He did create Jesus by Himself. Just through the birth of a virgin. He creates everybody, so He created Jesus's human version. You see what I mean, Jesus already existed before He was born, but then God put Him in a human suit. He grew up normally but then He spent the last three years of His life saying that He was the Son of God. Nobody believed Him and thought that He was using the powers of Satan to perform the healing miracles. This angered the Pharisees and they plotted against Him. Eventually sacrificing Him on the cross for His claims.
Here's something else. The night He was captured He had gone to the Garden of Gethsemane, He knelt down with tears in His eyes and prayed to God. He didn't want to die in that horrible way, but Jesus then said it had to be done.
God sent Him for the purpose of Him dying on the cross. Every Christian knows this verse. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son. That whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
He had to die. He was sinless and had to be sacrificied for everyone's sins. The whole world. If that wasn't done, then we would all end up in hell without a chance. But God gave us a chance. Besides, Jesus rose from the dead three days later and rose up to heaven to sit at the right hand of God.

There is ONE God. He revealed Himself as existing in THREE
"Persons". Eternally existing as such.
No, not like humans. Jesus was not God's Son by generation nor by creation; rather, Father -- Son describes the "relationship" between them.
He did need a human being for the Son to become Incarnate (to enter the human race) ... to be fully God and fully Man. This was required in order for Him to become the Saviour.

No the term Son of God in those days meant King. Jesus is Gods expression of being the King

Imagine that you as a being had the capacity to create the universe. Now imagine that within this universe a sentient consciousness began to developdrawing it's spiritual power from the energy that you used to create the universe. That spiritual energy, I believe is unending.
Now if you had such an ability, wouldn't you want to understand what it was like to experience life from the point of view of the very beings that you created, to know the entire cycle of life from birth to death? I know that I would. And I believe that it's possible that such an almighty creator may very well have spoken to or blessed prophets from other religions as well. Who are we to deny this posibility?

God created all of us, through other humans. he created adam from dust and then he created eve from one of adam's ribs. then adam and eve do what every husband and wife do and made babies! then the rest of us came along. God had Jesus as a spiritual Son since forever. Mary had Jesus, the physical son, who was on earth to teach the rest of God's children. does that make sense? hope i helped!

He did create His Son Himself; but in order to be as humans, he had to be born from a human. And humans were created to God's likelyhood. We are all God's children.

God knew that the people needed a savior that was real and tangible. Jesus was made from human flesh, but He was God in human form. He was without sin. God wanted to show people that someone could live perfectly, and save our souls for eternity. Jesus wasn't about God "showing off" His talents, but about true salvation.
