Jesus - Sons of God


Today, Christians believe Jesus is the 'Son of God'

On further study, the Bible used the word "Son" to describe normal human beings, Angels, Prophets and even Satan. "Son" was used in a figuarative sense to show a common purpose; a sign of respect, love and honour.

Jesus is 'the Son', not 'the son'

Christians will argue the Bible text "Son of God" appears with a capital 'S' in reference to Jesus, and small 's' for other 'sons'. However, this arguement is flawed as Jesus did not speak English, nor were the Gospels written in the English language.

Therefore, the capital 'S' and small 's' were later edits decided by English translators.
The table below lists the various Sons and Children of God.
