Quran Issues
Muslims believe that God is one and does not have a son, as this concept contradicts the oneness of God in Islam.
Quick answer
Christianity teaches that God is a Uni-Plural being, as evidenced in the Old Testament, where references to both God and His Son suggest a complex unity. The passage in Proverbs highlights the incomprehensibility of both God and His Son, indicating their equality and divine nature.
Full argument
The article begins by examining a specific passage in Proverbs that emphasizes the incomprehensibility of God and introduces the concept of His Son. It argues that the use of the plural term 'Holy Ones' suggests a divine plurality within the Godhead, which includes both God and His Son. The author points out that the name signifies essence and authority, implying that the Son shares in the divine nature and works of God, thus affirming His equality with the Father. Furthermore, the article connects this understanding to the New Testament, where Jesus is identified as the eternal Word made flesh, reinforcing the belief in the divine nature of Christ as part of the one true God.
