Today,
reply is on Jesus Christ as the “only begotten” son of GOD, and
the operations of GOD that transform the offspring of Adam to appear
as sons and daughters of GOD in the earth. Intimate relationship
with divinity is only by judgment, by the continuing presence of
divine substance, by the unfolding of prophecy, and by undergoing
transformation through divine operations that are lawful yet unseen.
Sinners who become born again are to receive a fresh endowment of
spirit substance imparted from the divine fullness (i.e., divinity;
the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit). Inseparable
aspects of divinity are provided such as balance, commitment, faith,
holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness, oneness without sameness,
personhood, righteousness, wisdom, and wrath against sin. The living
are joined to GOD the Father and to the Holy Spirit through the
baptism, crucifixion, and resurrection life of Jesus Christ. It is
written: Hosea 1: 5-11, King James Version (KJV): 5 And it shall
come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the
valley of Jezreel. 6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter.
And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no
more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take
them away. 7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will
save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by bow, nor
by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. 8 Now when she
had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son. 9 Then said
God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people,
and I will not be your God. 10 Yet the number of the children
of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured
nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place
where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it
shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be
gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall
come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of
Jezreel. A fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on

Why
does God only have ONE Son? Why does God need a Son? Why does NT say
God gave His only Son? Are they two gods? ?
All
of us are God's children?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a
council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. If
we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the
Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. And one
of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year,
said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is
expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that
the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but
being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for
that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also he should
gather together in one the children of God that were scattered
abroad. (John 11: 47-52, KJV)

“Anonymous”,
you have posted five different questions here, and to avoid confusion
in your answer you must be careful to use the language and order that
comes by sacred knowledge, rather than the language of
academic studies, politics, science, and secular knowledge.
Mankind may only engage divinity through covenants and ongoing
relationships that acknowledge sacred law and divine order. The
earth was populated through Adam who used mechanical and natural
elements we call sexual reproduction. Jesus Christ appears among
mankind on the earth through a single, one-time immutable divine
operation (we say, Incarnation) that provides a manifestation of
divinity having authentic humanity, and using multiple primary life
processes for created beings and living creatures (e.g., birth,
aging, discovery, gradual growth, learning, death) that also would
respond to mechanical patterns and natural law within the earth as a
material sphere. Acknowledging the Incarnation, we say, Jesus is the
“only begotten” son of GOD who is set apart (sanctified to be
used by GOD) through his divine makeup and substance received (1)
during his conception within a virgin that occurred by workings of
the Holy Spirit, (2) through his anointing in her blood that occurred
by his breaking her hymen at his birth, and (3) by his fulfillment of
multiple divine proclamations, promises, and prophecies. To become
the offspring of GOD, and to exist as lawful heirs to a divine
inheritance with Jesus Christ, those alive on the earth through
Adamic reproduction must be transformed to exist as the sons and
daughters of GOD through death of their inborn spirit, rebirth having
inseparable spirit substance imparted from the makeup of GOD, and
operations of the Holy Spirit. (We say, you must be born again, grow
up again, and become mature/ripe for harvest from the earth when
Jesus comes again.) Consider again the following that uses language
from the Bible, and He Must Be Love, a selection from the music
ministry of Steve Amerson:
(1.)
Romans 8: 13-19, King James Version (KJV): 13 For if ye live after
the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the
deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the
Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received
the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with
Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also
glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to be compared with
the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest
expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons
of God.
(2.)
1st John 3: 1-10, KJV: 1 Behold, what manner of love
the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons
of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear
what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall
be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that
hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the
transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to
take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him
sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that
committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the
beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he
might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God
doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot
sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are
manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not
righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
(3.)
Galatians 4: 4-7, KJV: 4 But when the fulness of the time was
come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the
adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the
Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then
an heir of God through Christ.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.)

Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto
you according to your faith.
