It would help make your point if you included references.
Jesus was His "Only begotten Son" (JN 3:16)
"Sons of God" appears in Genesis and John as well as other places, but is widely agreed by Bible scholars to be only a figure of speech, not referring to divinity.
Incidentally, Lucifer was not the brother of Christ, as some wrongly teach. He was an Archangel.

Sorry Dude - I'm studying theology at Oxford and have spent a lot of time studying the Bible over the past few years and I think you're misunderstanding the text.
In the Old Testament the king could be called the son of God and in the New Testament God enables anyone who is in Christ to be part of this Divine Sonship.
The deal is that we are IN CHRIST though - the only begotten son... others are adopted sons (though it's obviously no less real than if we were natural sons/daughters)

The scriptures say "ALL THE SONS OF GOD" at Job 38:7
When God asked Job about the Creation of the Earth in that chapter, God said His sons were shouting in applause.
All the Angels are God's Sons.

according to God, we are all God's children. Jesus was the only son born of human mother and God together. Then if you want to read on, (I can't remember exactly where or exact words right now), but it does mention the possiblity of it happening again. Some translate this as the Anti Christ,some as return of Christ, some as the true Christ, etc... semantics in the bible are a pain in the butt! lol

forgive me for my confusion. some say Jesus is the son of God. Others say that Jesus is God. Since little, i've always wonder how Jesus can be the son of God and the God at the same time. And now some people say that he have children. So, that baby would be like the grandchild of God and also the child of God? So much confusion. Who have the final say then? God-father, Jesus-God or baby-Jesus God? i prefer to stick to one God, whatever you people say.

You are right. Jesus was not the only son of God. Please read Job 1:6, " Now it came to be the day when the sons of the [true] God entered to take their station before Jehovah, and even Satan proceeded to enter right among them."
However, without going into too many details, Jesus Christ is said to be the only begotten son of God.
In other words, Christ was the firstborn among all the angels in his pre-human existence. Also, all other things were made through him. God used him as his work-master to through him create all other things.

Are you talking about Jesus having brothers? He did. They shared the same mother. Joseph and Mary did have other children, and in fact some followed Jesus.
If you are talking about others in the Bible who are called the "son of God" - Ezekiel and Daniel were both called that. In both examples, God was showing his special love and care of these.
So, why don't you come out with the startling evidence you have, and I would be more than happy to tell you what the original Bible Manuscripts say about it.

God had many sons-what do you think you are, one of God's chimps? Jesus was the Son of Man--His role was to be the only man worthy of being pure enough that God lived THROUGH Him. Just as demons use poor souls to speak through( demonic possession), in a sense Jesus was possessed by God Himself when He spoke to the masses, and spoke AS GOD. However, Jesus was still in there also..that is why he asks God when He is on the cross "Father, why hast thou forsaken me?" Jesus and God became One.

Adam was God's Son. Luke 3:38. The Scriptures further show that it is by means of his holy spirit or active force that God brings forth his spiritual sons, the first of whom is Jesus Christ. At the time of his baptism God’s holy spirit came upon Jesus in the form of a dove, after which God acknowledged him as his spiritual Son. (Matt. 3:16, 17) And so Paul says regarding Christ’s footstep followers: “For all who are led by God’s spirit, these are God’s sons.” And that “the [holy] spirit itself bears witness with our spirit [mental disposition] that we are God’s children

Jesus is God's only begotten Son. We are adopted into God's family and are 'sons' in that way, but Jesus is the only True Son of God.
