No, the Bible is not correct.
Unfortunately, few christians have ever heard that the official title "Son of God" was reserved in the ancient world before 500 BCE exclusively to Egyptian Pharaohs.

Nor have christians usually heard that the title "Son of God" was used by Alexander the Great upon conquering Egypt and claiming right to be Pharaoh. That the Roman Emperors from Augustus for over a hundred years also claimed the title of "Son of God" for themselves and even had it minted on coins across the entire Roman Empire
See:
http://one-faith-of-god.org/old_testament/apocrypha/son_of_god_2/son_of_god_2_0010.htm
Nor are Christians familiar with the tale that Moses, was not Moses at all but Pharaoh Akhenaten and that the descendents of the High Priests that called themselves the "Sons of Zadok" were the true bloodline heirs of the Pharaohs of Egypt.
Yet in the Israel Museum is the Copper Scroll, one of the most sacred and important surving artefacts from Qumran (Dead Sea Scoll) onwhich is written in Greek the cryptic message "Akhenaten is also Zadok".
http://one-faith-of-god.org/old_testament/sources/copper_scroll/copper_scroll_0010.htm
Mary was Essene and a "Daughter of Zadok" the bloodline of the High Priests and therefore the true "Sons of God".
But if Jesus was to use such a title in direct challenge to the Sadducees and Pharisees of his day, this would be a challenge of epic proportions.
It would require a plan to somehow hide such overwhelming evidence that the Bible was a ficticious story. Could this be why the religion of Paul of Tarsus is so literal concerning Jesus being an actual God?

God himself calls Jesus his Son:
Matt. 17:5, Mark 9:7, Luke 9:35, 2 Pet. 1:17
Jesus called himself the Son of God:
John 10:36, John 3:35, John 5:26, John 9:35, John 17:1
Others called Jesus the Son of God:
Matt. 27:54, Mark 3:11, Mark 5:7, Mark 15:39, Luke 4: 41; Luke 8: 28; John 1: 34, 49; John 6: 69; John 11: 27; Acts 3: 26; 1 Jn. 3: 23
There are many other scriptures describing Jesus as the Son of God in the Bible. Anyone who believes in the Bible and says that Jesus is not the Son of God needs to go back and reread their Bible.

It is true that others are called "son" by God. However, Jesus claimed to be more than just that.
One time when Jesus had healed someone on the Sabbath, some of the Jewish leaders were upset as they saw this as a breaking of the command to not work on the Sabbath.
"Jesus said to them,"My Father is always at His work to this very day, and I, too, am working." For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him; not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but he was calling God HIS OWN Father, making HIMSELF EQUAL with God. Jesus gave them this answer," I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by Himself; He can only do what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does, the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. Yes, to your amazement, He will show Him even greater things than these. For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom He is pleased to give it. Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son JUST AS they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent Him."(John 5:17-23)NIV
At another time, when some of the Jewish leaders were asking Jesus if he thought he was greater than Abraham and the prophets, Jesus said, "Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad." "You are not yet fifty years old,"the Jews said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!" "I tell you THE TRUTH,"Jesus answered, "BEFORE Abraham was born, I AM!" At this , they picked up stones to stone him but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds,(John 8:56-59)NIV
These are Jesus' OWN words and no, the Bible has not been changed. Others say it has been changed, but it is still the same. For example, the very fact that Muhammed disputed Jesus being the actual Son of God,(as well as the teaching of the Trinity) in the Quran, is historical proof that Christians in his days believed and taught that Jesus was the Son of God(and believed in the Trinity).Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned this.
Even in the Torah, the Old Testament, God having a son is mentioned-" Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name and the name of His son? Tell me if you know."(Proverbs 30:4)NIV
Jesus' existence is easy to establish as a historical fact- just ask any religious or history scholar of good standing and credibility.

the bible is correct in John 1:1 as Jesus is the Word and Jesus was God, and was with God in the beginning.
See also John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Jesus was given without measure of God's greatness. He is God without lacking any aspect of God. So in today's sense God cloned Himself and sent Himself to earth as a man to walk among us and give us the Word that is in John 1:1.
The bible is to be considered written by the Holy Spirit through the disciples. God knows the beginning and the End and would not allow such mistakes in His word. The Holy Spirit is God as so is Jesus. The bible is to be considered infallible and stands on it's own. For who can or should be able to say that God is misleading by errors and that is why a person is not going to make it into heaven. The book is complete and ready for readers and seekers of faith.

Christians alone believe that Jesus is God's Son. Rest assured, the Bible does not teach a parental relationship between God and Jesus. That idea is as blasphemous to Christians as it is to Muslims. Rather, the concept demonstrates the close relationship between the two and the shared nature of deity. At Jesus’ birth, the angel Gabriel told the virgin Mary:
“‘Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!’ But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.’ And Mary said to the angel, ‘How will this be, since I am a virgin?’ And the angel answered her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God’” (Luke 1:26-35).

simply by fact human beings think of this way and not logically I might desire to save reminding myself that devil blinds the minds of the unbelievers. Jehovah makes it so sparkling or Jesus does in many scriptures that the daddy is larger than he etc. If he replaced into God why might he make that sparkling additionally. yet human beings might desire to look up the history of the trinity to be sure whilst it began out and it replaced into no longer prepare between the disciples.

According to the Bible Jesus is the son of God. If you were to read the New Testement you would see that Jesus is refered to many times as the son of God.
