| Answer:   I would like to 
    tell you that the phrase ‘son of God’ has been used in the Bible not only 
    for Jesus (sws) but also for his followers (John, 1:12), the Prophet Adam 
    (Luke, 3:38) and the angels (Genesis, 6:2,4). It needs to be appreciated 
    that this phrase alludes to its metaphorical meanings and thus suggests 
    close relationship with God. We do not object to the usage of this phrase. 
    What has intellectually been denied by Islam is that Jesus (sws) was 
    begotten by God. This is utter blasphemy. We must not ascribe to the 
    Almighty anything of which we have no knowledge or authority whatsoever. 
    The translation cycle of 
    the Bible, that you have mentioned, seems quite probable.   |
