This mystical suggestion is further supported with Jesus being called the only begotten Son of God. In Psalm 2:7, the Lord said to David: "...Thou art my son: this day have I begotten thee."
Does this mean that God had two sons? Jesus also said that God is not only his Father but also your Father (Matthew 5:45, 48). Luke 3:38 says: "...Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the Son of God."
Who is mentioned in Hebrews 7:3 as like unto the Son of God? It is Melchisedec, King of Salem, as mentioned in Hebrews 7:1. He (Melchisedec) is more unique than Jesus or Adam. Why is he not preferred to be the Son of God? Moreover, Adam did not have a mother or father, but was the first human being created by God and in the likeness of God to exist in the Garden of Eden and on earth. Wouldn’t this give more rights to Adam to be called the Son of God in its truest meaning?

Yes, I have been known to say that "there's a whole lot of begattin' goin' on" in the Bible.
This is due to the exhaustive genealogy to make evident the lineage of Christ.

Being Muslim, you of all people should understand the difference. Why do I say that? In Hebrew, one word in English can have MANY different connotations. The word for "begotten" used to describe God's relationship with David is an ADOPTED son. The original Hebrew word used was yâlad, which literally means "to bring up."
In John 3:16, when Jesus says He is the only "begotten Son" of God, the word used, in Greek, is monogenēs, which means "only born." The original Hebrew and Greek is what sets Jesus apart.
The key word in both cases is how "begotten" is used. The difference is in the Hebrew and Greek, not in the English.
Considering how picky you guys are about the Koran only being read in Arabic, you should have known that.

Check out Romans 8:14; Galatians 3:26; Luke 6:27-36; Hebrews 12:1-13. We are all sons of God.

There is a very simple way to answer this: Of all the "sons of G-d" you mention, only one obeyed ALL of G-d's Commandments; Jesus the Christ. Thus, making Him the perfect sacrifice for our sins; He is "The Way, The Truth, and The Life".

Son in bible is used as faithful believers but christians frnds has made this a big issue and changed all concept of religion against the teaching of Jesus Christ. See some of my study only on Gospels:
And as far the word Son or the word Father for God; I have made a general study for you review.
The gospel according to Mathew' Jesus (peace be upon him) used the word Father for God or Son of God for himself 17 times, but he used the same 14 times for other people also; and in the same book He used the word' Son of Man' for himself 27 times.
The gospel according to Mark' He used the word Father once for himself and twice for others, while he used the word Son of Man 14 times.
The gospel according to Luke, Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) uses the word Son of God or Father for God, for himself 6 times for himself and 5 times for others. And He used the word Son of Man 25 times.
And in the gospel according to John he used Father for God, 105 times and for others 3 times; while He used Son of Man' for Himself 13 times.
Actually the word, Son is used for obedient and pious people in Bible as above we read in book of Job also the word Sons of God for pious worshipper in the temple. And father means creator and provider. As Jesus pbuh himself has forbidden to say "Father" to anyone because "Father is God", meaning creator; actually he did not forbade to say father to our fathers but to believe them or any other as creator and provider.
