The Bible informs us that he is God’s “firstborn” Son. This means that he was created before the other sons of God’s family. He is also God’s “only-begotten” Son, in that he is the only one directly created by Jehovah God; all other things came into existence through him as God’s Chief Agent. Thus, before being born on earth as a male child he served in the heavens, where he was known as “the Word,” God’s spokesman.—John 1:3, 10, 14; Colossians 1:15-17.
4 Jesus could therefore properly say: “Before Abraham came into existence, I have been,” and, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven.” (John 8:58; 6:51) Referring to the high position he had held in heaven, he prayed: “Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was.”—John 17:5.

It has something to do with the Holy Ghost (Luke 1:35)
"sons of God" in Job 1:6 can be properly understood as the angels.
Your Psalm reading should be "gods" (Unless this word is Capitalized, it is not a real God, but a counterfeit and an idol or an imitation.

We are all sons and daughters of God. God only had ONE begotten Son, born of the Virgin Mary. Those you speak of from Job and what have you all had EARTHLY human fathers. Jesus's father is spirit. The Holy Spirit passed over the Virgin Mary and she was pregnant.
Jesus is also God in the flesh.
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:1–3, 14, KJV).
The three persons of the Holy Trinity are distinct and separate: yet, they are one (Eph. 4:4–6). This gives us the mystery of the Godhead—we wonder how this can be? The Christian Church holds the doctrine of the Holy Trinity as one of their oldest beliefs (1 Pet. 1:2). As we look at the traditional teachings of the Christian Church and study the Bible, we should grow in our understanding and accept the Holy Trinity by faith (Luke 3:21, 22).
Holy Trinity—One God
The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit,
three separate Persons, and yet One.
Divine mystery beyond perception.
We look at One—We look at All.
We pray to One—We pray to All.
We love One—We love All.
One love’s us—All love us.
Father–Son–Holy Spirit—One God.

There was always the God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The only Son of God became human and we know Him as Jesus.
You contradict yourself in the two sentences. The first clearly says that that God "gave his only-begotten Son." Notice the "only." Then you say in the second sentence "not the only but the first." Jesus is the ONLY begotten Son of God. All the rest of us as children of God are "adopted."

To quote my Lord "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God." There is a difference between the only-begotten Son and sons of God.. This is how to become a "son" of God..
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:
This is why Jesus is called the only-begotten Son:
Luke 1:31-35
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Surely even a Muslim can see the difference..... Jim

Being a child of God and being His only "begotten" Son is two different thing. It's sort of like the difference in a natural child and an adopted one. Jesus was Gods Son, we are his created, adopted children God bless!!!

GOD the Father and GOD the Son have had an eternal "Father-Son" relationship built out of their Love, the Holy Spirit. God the Son is begotten, therefore, un-created, just like the Father. God bless.

you have to read the bible in context. When Jesus came to the earth they asked him who he was. He said I am that I am. He said I am the God of the Old Testament.
Nobody knew there was another God until he got here. Thats why they killed him. He said im not the only God, it freaked many people out and they killed him. First commandment though shall have no other Gods before me (that is Jesus's commandment) but he prayed to another God and now we do as well. What gave us that right to pray to God the Father just because Jesus could? Does this get rid of the 10 commandments? Are you sinning if you are praying to God the Father?
What verse in the bible allows you to even pray to God the Father instead of Jesus? Just a question.

It's not possible for a human being to live a sinless life, but Jesus was completely sinless when he was crucified. He arose from the grave because the wrath of God was satisfied with his sacrifice for the sin of man.
