I wanted to talk a little more about the whole "Son of God" concept when it comes to Jesus... as it can be a little confusing to explain my perspective.

In specific, I think Jesus is the son of God, just as I am the daughter of God, and you are the child of God as well. We all are God's children, every last one of us, and that point stands to reason. In a way, Jesus was a very-specifically-chosen son of God, and perhaps this is both indicated and referenced as valid in a lot...

Points of Interest...
