Why is Jesus called a son?

[Sariel]

Let's look at the OT. King David is referred as God's son, what does this mean? To be direct, it is a title that denotes a king of Israel, ie the Messiah. Consider what a firstborn Son is in near-eastern culture. Your firstborn son is the one who inherits all of the father's blessings and authority, and sometimes the son who is most like a father's image. Israel is also called God's firstborn, so let's not get too literal. Contrary to what most Christians may teach, the "Son of God" is a very human title. Ironically "Son of Man" denotes something more akin to divinity in the apocrypha such as the Enoch literature and 4 Ezra.

As verification of whether or not God indeed has a Son,can be found at Proverbs 30:4.
And that´s long before any NT,or Koran were written,or even thought of for that matter.

Why, please?

because all of us were spirits, and Christ was the first. And God had taken us as children.
