Was Jesus the Only Son of God?

Question

Son of God, what does it mean? On this web page we have collected some of the chapters from the Bible (Old Testament and New Testament) to help clearify the meaning of " Son of God." God addressed some of his special people as "Son of God" or "children of God." It is also documented that some Prophets have addressed some priests and good peoples as "Son of God" .


Adam is a son of God
(Genealogy of Jesus)..."the son of Seth,the son of Adam, the son of God."

"Then say to Pharaoh, 'This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son."

Ephraim
"They will come with weeping;
they will pray as I ring them back.
I will lead them beside streams of water
on a level path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel's father,
and Ephraim is my firstborn son."
Jeremiah 31:9



One of the Good People
"I will proclaim the decree of the Lord:
He said to me, "You are my Son;
today I have become your Father."

Melchizedek the Priest
"Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever."

Answer 1

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Answer 2

1st God is a spirit so has no physical children, next Jesus is generally referred to as the son of God because he was the first thing God created (1st angel) the bible says God then used him as a master worker so every thing else was created through him (other angels, earth , solar system etc.) from the power he got from God. As you have noted though the bible does call other people sons of God this is because of the close relationship they spared with God, this can be an individual ( Adam before sin) or larger groups ( the chosen people Israel who followed his laws).

Answer 3

Jesus was the only direct and actual Son of God because God directly caused His conception in the womb of His mother Mary. All other people have the opportunity to become "adopted sons and daughters" of God.

Answer 4

U forgot David was also begotten by him in Ps-2:7 and the many who had sex with human woman (something to think about) and had children by them in Gen-6:4.

Psa 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.

Answer 5

Like spaces, do you?
Jesus is a son of God.
Not the ONLY son of God, but a son of god ...in the sense he owes his life to God.
God produced him, created him.
Although he is among many sons of God, his situation is a bit unique.
He was the only one ever created DIRECTLY by God.
All other sons of God were created by God, with the assistance of Jesus.
Colossians 1:15-18 explains
"He is the ...firstborn of all creation; ....All other things have been created through him and for him. Also, he is before all other things and by means of him all other things were made to exist...."

Answer 6

No Jesus was not a Son of God but` the`Son of God,all whom God addresses as Sons were created by Him,Jesus is God from God,light from light, and one in substance with the Father, He was begotten not made.

Answer 7

You are confused...Jesus is god's son because God created Jesus directly by himself. Everything else in the universe was created by Jesus and god. Are you familiar with John 3:16? it says that god gave his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. so there you have it,jesus is god's (jehovah is gods name translated from hebrew) only son. The bible uses many references refering to us as sons,but that is because jehovah god created us all,and he is our father.it is in a different context.
I hope this helped! ;)

Answer 8

Jesus is the only begotten Son of God

Answer 9

Jesus is God's ONLY begotten Son. We are all His ADOPTED sons and daughters by way of Baptism. This is all explained in the Cathechism of the Catholic Church.

Answer 10

No, All males are sons of God
And he is your Heavenly Father.
