Is Jesus the son of God? How many sons does God have?

Question

John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."
So others have already become sons of God? If there are many sons of God, then Jesus is not unique?
I always had the impression from church people that Jesus was unique. If Jesus is not unique why are you praying to him?

Answer 1

There are many sons of God. It is traditional to pray to Jesus because he is the only one we know of at present.

But there will come a time when we will learn of all who have become sons of God, and I'm sure all Christians will concur with me on this.

Another reason to pray to Jesus is because he rose into the sky, and there are witnesses.
As a matter of fact, at the very moment he was rising, some of the people were praying to him.

Answer 2

Many people take that to mean we can all become sons and daughters of God, by becoming one with God. Jesus was a good example of this and by following his ways we could get there too. He started out as a regular man, just like us.

Answer 3

NONE CAN COUNT THE SONS OF GOD

Job 38:4-7; Angels see the age old earth prepared, angels are called morning stars and sons of God.
Rev.5:11; Angels are vast in number, angels do not die Luke 20:34-36;
Job 2:1,2 [ SATAN WAS WITH THE SONS OF GOD ];

WHO WAS THE VERY FIRST SON OF GOD

John 17:3,5,24; Col.1:15-17; Rev.3:12,14;
Jesus was with God before the world was, before all angels, Jesus was the first creation created in the image of God. Jesus is the son of God Matt.3:16,17; 16:16,17;
Gen.1:26;
God said,"Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Jesus & Adam only.
Rev.22:16;
Jesus is the bright and morning star.
Isa.14:1-14;
Lucifer means day star, it compares leaders of the world to the cherub angel that was anointed over Eden. Eze.28:13-15; Gen.3:1-5; Called serpent he decieved Eve, she or they were not to touch the tree lest they died. Rev.12:9 [ Dragon, serpent, Devil and Satan ]; John 8:44; Caused death of all from Adam.

GOD IS GOD OF THE LIVING AND JESUS IS LORD OF THE DEAD AND THE LIVING

Rom.14:9-14; Philip.2:5,9-12; 2Cor.5:10; Heb.9:27; Acts 17:31; 24; 15; John 5:20,22; 26-29; 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53; As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Matt.28:18;
All power is given me [ BY GIVER ], in heaven and on earth.

BY THE POWER OF THE FIRST BEGOTTON SON OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND FATHER

Answer 4

Jesus is God incarnate who came down to earth in the form of a man to show us how to live on this earth in harmony with God and each other. He is referred to the Son of God so that we can understand in context who the God in his earthly form is. Jesus is one and the same as God. We all can be adopted into God's family and become sons and daughter of God. We can claim our inheritance into the kingdom of God by accepting Jesus as our Savior, admitting we have sinned against God and accepting his loving forgiveness. There are many mysteries to God that we humans can not understand. After all, God is a supernatural being. In the end those who play roulette will find out that they took the wrong chance when the final judgement happens and they are sentenced to hell for eternity.That is a lifelong gamble not worth risking.

Answer 5

I sure wish christains would take some of the time they spend on here to go read their Bibles.

Job 2
1Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

But as for as humans go God had 2 sons the first was Adam he failed God. The second was Jesus he did not fail God because he was God himself

Answer 6

Jesus is God's only son.

As children of God, however, we share an inheritance. See verse 11 below.

Ephesians 1:6 (NLT)

6 So we praise God for the wonderful kindness he has poured out on us because we belong to his dearly loved Son. 7 He is so rich in kindness that he purchased our freedom through the blood of his Son, and our sins are forgiven. 8 He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
9 God's secret plan has now been revealed to us; it is a plan centered on Christ, designed long ago according to his good pleasure. 10 And this is his plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ-everything in heaven and on earth. 11 Furthermore, because of Christ, we have received an inheritance from God,* for he chose us from the beginning, and all things happen just as he decided long ago. 12 God's purpose was that we who were the first to trust in Christ should praise our glorious God. 13 And now you also have heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. 14 The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us everything he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God.

Answer 7

Jesus Christ is definitely unique!! For other people being sons of God is a gift, but Jesus is the "only begotten son of the father".

Answer 8

Jesus is the Son of God and the second person of the Trinity

"In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word was with God and the Word was God." - John 1:1,

For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only Begotten Son
that whosoever believes on Him should not perish, but have ever-lasting life. John 3:16

Everyone who comes to God THROUGH Jesus becomes a child
of God.
Because of Adam's disobedience, man became spiritually dead and separated from God and it is ONLY through Jesus and HIS sacrifice on the cross -- through His atoning BLOOD - that we can be saved and accepted as righteous before God and adopted
into His family forever.
Just being created in the image of God, meaning as a spirit being
with free will, and so far above animals, does NOT automatically
make one a child of God as liberal churches or whatever would want people to believe, especially in the name of political correct-ness, etc. IT'S NOT TRUE!!!
Without Jesus as Savior and Lord, everyone would be a child of satan and condemned to eternal hell with him, but God gives us a
CHOICE to receive His mercy and grace by faith in His Son, Who
came and laid down His life for us, so that we don't HAVE to perish forever.....But it YOUR choice - and your responsibility as to where you want to spend eternity.
God will never force ANYONE to come to Him even when He knows what awaits them in eternity.
God "sends" nobody to hell. People send THEMSELVES when they reject Jesus as Savior!!!
Yes, Jesus is unique and I am sorry, but I do not have extensive knowledge on the nature of the Trinity - Triune God, but I believe and trust in ALL 3 PERSONS of the Godhead.
I know that the TRINITY is for real. All three Persons were made
manifest at the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan river when God said, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED and the Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, came to rest
on Jesus.

If you would like to know more than what I can tell you, please call
this number, 1-800-759-0700 to talk with someone about any and
all questions you might have and they will be SO happy to be able
to help you and pray with you, if you wish, about whatever is on your heart.

Best Wishes :-)

Answer 9

you fairly persist with a robust practice of concept! greater precisely, i've got self assurance guy, human beings have created gods of their own image. to describe the unexplainable. This has been geared up upon, it has created an industry of religions. God isn't human, nor a being. No being would desire to create the universe. image voltaic systems, galaxies, etc. yet to answer the question, the place did this all commence, guy has created a god.

Answer 10

No, Jesus is not the son of God...
God has no mother, father, daughter, or son.
Jesus is a very respected prophet in Islam.

Peace.
