The Sons of the Lord God in the Bible (3)
The Bible says that the Lord God, the Almighty Creator, has SONS who came to present themselves before the LORD. Also, Satan came with the Sons of God to present himself before the Lord God.
Satan's tests are many in the Bible; however, the two famous Satan trials occurred with Job and the Lord Jesus. Job was subjected to two trials when Satan Attacks Job’s Health and the Lord Jesus was subjected to the 40 day trial in the wilderness (Read Matthew 4)
It should be emphasized however that when Satan tried the Lord Jesus the Sons of God did not come to present themselves before the LORD.
On the other hand, the Bible does not tell the names of the Sons of the Lord God, the Bible also does not give the physical attributes of the Sons of the Lord God. In addition, the Bible does not tell what the number of the Sons of the Lord God was and how many they were?
In short, the Bible does not let us know who, how, when, where, how many etc. in respect to the Sons of the Lord God.
On the other hand, the Bible gives some informative details about the Sons of the kings of Israel, for example, but does not give any details about the Sons of the Lord God, the Almighty Creator, who are of course very much more important than the Sons of the kings of Judah .
Furthermore, In Language and literally wise, there are differences between the Angels and the Sons of God. However; a biblical version translates the Hebrew "Sons of God" to Angels!

The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (3)
On the other hand, the Quran makes it very clear and says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.
The Quran firmly forbids saying that Allah has a son.
It is not befitting for the Majesty of Allah to take to Himself a son.
The Quran says that Allah is the Originator of the heavens and the earth, which He originated uniquely without precedent; how should He have a son, when He has no consort, spouse?
Say O Prophet Muhammad: 'if Allah had a son, I would be the first to worship of that son. But it is established that He, exalted be He, does not have a son and thus there can be no worshipping of such a son. I am the first to acknowledge that Allah has no son or partner.
In Islam, this point is very important faith wise.
In a very simple word, Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.
Again, it is unforgivable sin to say or to believe that The One Almighty Creator who is Allah or God or the Lord or Jehovah or whatever you name Him has a son or Sons.
From the Islamic point of view, the conclusion of this essential topic that may establish or destroy the faith is that:
Any one who believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or Sons; he messes his faith up and is considered as a disbeliever and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the hell.
Any one who believes that the Creator has neither a son nor a partner he has a good faith and is considered as a believer and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the paradise.
----------------------------
The meaning of Verse 6:101:
Allah is the Originator of the heavens and the earth, which He originated uniquely without precedent; He created them when they were nothing before such creation.
How should He have a son, when He has no consort, spouse?
How can He have a child, when there is for Him no consort, no wife?
And He created everything, that was meant to be created, and He has knowledge of all things; He is Aware of all created beings.
The meaning of Verse 43:81-82
Say O Prophet Muhammad: 'if Allah had a son, I would be the first to worship of that son.
'If Allah, the merciful, the Compassionate One, the Beneficent One had a son, hypothetically speaking, I would have been first among the worshippers, of that son.
But it is established that He, exalted be He, does not have a son and thus there can be no worshipping of such a son. I am the first to acknowledge that Allah has no son or partner.
Glorified be the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, from that which they ascribe unto Him of Sons and partners!
----------------------------
Verse 6:101 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:
QARIB:
He is the creator of the heavens and the earth. How can he have a son when he had no female companion? He created all things and has knowledge of all things.
SHAKIR:
Wonderful originator of the heavens and the earth! How could he have a son when he has no consort, and he (himself) created everything, and he is the knower of all things
PICKTHAL:
The originator of the heavens and the earth! How can he have a child, when there is for him no consort, when he created all things and is aware of all things?
YUSUFALI:
To him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: how can he have a son when he hath no consort? he created all things, and he hath full knowledge of all things.
----------------------------
Verses 43:81-82
Verse 43:81

Verse 43:82
