Bible Note: Hi kindgo, Welcome to the forum. You have made some good points about the difference between the sons of God and the only begotten Son. I wonder however about the reference of 2 Samuel 7:14 for evidence for Jesus being the Son. Psalm 2:7 is a good reference but 2 Samuel is talking about Solomon and how "he will be a son to Me" and how "I will be a Father to him". I also must take issue with your last paragraph. I would say that we must avoid the tendency to promote Jesus' humanity at the expense of His Deity. The incarnation means that He came in the likeness of men, born of a woman, but He is fully God and fully Man. Hebrews stresses that our High Priest is not like the high priests who had to offer up sacrifices for their sins and then the sins of the people. I look forward to talking more with you.
