Thread: Son of God: Adam, Jesus, neither, both?

[Luke 3:38] Kenan was the son of Enosh. Enosh was the son of Seth. Seth was the son of Adam. Adam was the son of God.

But the Bible says Jesus PBUH was the only son of God.

[John 3:16] For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

So who is it, Jesus or Adam, peace be upon them both?

Quran says God does not have a son.

[Surat al-Jinn 72:3] And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son

So, is it Jesus SA, Adam SA, neither or both?

What does it say in Psalm 82:6 = I, the Most High God, say that all of you are gods and also my own children.

Had me going for like a second.
Adam was created, Jesus was born. So if you believe in the bible then it's easy to see how Jesus is son, Adam is a clay pot or artificial creation.

Who says it in Psalm 82:6. I mean who is it speaking? There are stuff in the bible that God didn't say, someone else said them. This might be one of them.

But the Bible says Adam PBUH was Gods son, not clay pot or creation. Son.

We are all created by God. Adam PBUH was created first. Jesus PBUH was created. I was created. You were created. You might think it differently if you believe in only evolution, but from a creationist perspective everybody is created.

Okay, care to elaborate on that?

You keep typing the letters PBUH like they mean something.

This was an Assyrian or Babylonia emperor speaking to his chief ministers and giving them the power of life and death over their subjects. He was sharing his power with them to rule his empire. He was also reminding them that he retained ultimate power and would kill them if they got out of hand.

I'm sure different denominations and different people will have different interpretations, but a popular one is that it's actually supposed to say "only begotten son", whereas Adam and the rest of humanity are children in a lesser sense (in lack of better words). If one creates a robot, one can probably feel an emotion of love towards that robot, but one is more likely to feel stronger love for an actual child.

That being said, different translations translate the phrase differently, so other interpretations will think differently.
