I generally despise Bible quotes as answers, but I think this one might be appropriate:\n\n(Exodus 32:27-29) and Moses told them, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Put your sword on your hip, everyone of you!  Now go up and down the camp, from gate to gate, and slay your kinsmen, your friends and neighbors!"  The Levites carried out the command of Moses, and that day there fell about three thousand of the people.  Then Moses said, "Today you have dedicated to the Lord, for you were against your own sons and kinsmen, to bring a blessing upon yourselves this day."\n\nMoses had 3,000 of his own people executed in one day.  What a wonderful person.  We should all be just like him ...\n\n... or maybe not.

Love thy enemy as thyself.\nTreat all who come to you as you would if it were your brother Jesus or God the Father.\nBe not the first to throw stones.\nDo unto others as you would have them do unto you.\n\nGuess it when it comes right down to it, the powers that be, behind the pulpit and sitting in the Oval office, are proud to be false prophets and to lead their populaces on false crusades. It serves their ends and their pockets.\nWho among the Many have really benefited? \nI guess it matters not how many lives they burn through as if just simple paper and not flesh and blood, someone's father, someone's brother, someone's son, someone's love. And no acknowledgment for the women bereft, keening in their agony and helplessness.\n\nI know my brother, he known as Jesus, would weep, would weep for days, at this horror. Nevermind the blasphemy of using his name and his Father's as justification for such atrocities.\n\nLuckily God has more forgiveness and love in his heart, than any of us can imagine. \nIf I were him, this I could not forgive.

He was a rebel, he rebelled against Mosaic Law. I think what he meant by saying he was Gods son is that we are all one with God. For example he said we have all got it in us to do all the things he did and even greater. He prayed for his disciples to become "one" with God like he is one with God.He devinitely rebeled agains the racial and religious descrimination of that time. He was a soul rebel...

There's no exactly parallel noun.  But there is an adjective you can use to express the idea --\n"bereft"  (or 'the bereft parents')\n\nThus we can say:\n"The child was orphaned."\n"The woman/man was widowed."\n"The parents were bereft [of children]."\n\n--------\n\n 'bereft' (2) = Suffering the death of a loved one; bereaved: the bereft parents.\nhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=bereft\n\n"bereave":\n  To leave desolate or alone, especially by death\nhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/bereave\n\nNote that "bereft" can be used for the loss of OTHER loved ones, but most frequently is used for parents losing children, perhaps  because we DO have the words 'orphan', 'widow' and 'widower' available to us.\n\nAlso, there is obviously a slight lack of parallelism.  The other terms always speak of a situation in which you have NO ONE of this sort left.  In a monogamous culture-- at least if you are keeping the law-- if a spouse dies you have NO spouse left, if both parents die you have NO parents and are an orphan.  But when parents suffer the death of ONE child (which is the way it usually happens) this does not necessarily leave them with NO children.\n\n(Incidentally, there is also, historically, an important socio-economic difference.  A widow or orphan is lacks ECONOMIC support --in fact, some cultures would use such terms ONLY if there is no one in the extended family available to step in and support them, a child would be an 'orphan' even with a mother, if she was, by this definition, a widow [hence, the term for such a child is often better rendered 'fatherless'].  \n\nThe situation is not the same for a parent who loses children.  This also helps explain why the ROOT word for one who is left without a spouse is the FEMININE, "widow" --and the masculine form is a derived one [as opposed to the typical practice of a root noun being masculine, with a derived feminine, formed by adding a suffix]: the main situation it is describing was originally that of the unsupported woman.  A man whose wife died would not ordinarily be in a similar bind.)

From the King James Verson in Matthew 15:14\n\n"Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."\n\nIn the Webster version the quote is:\n\n"Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leadeth the blind, both will fall into the ditch."

ISA 4:1 In that day seven women\n    will take hold of one man\n  and say, "We will eat our own food\n    and provide our own clothes;\n  only let us be called by your name.\n    Take away our disgrace!"\n\nThis is prophecy about God's judgment on an apostate nation.  Many men will have died in war leaving many widows - a low state in those times.  The text is an indicator of how bad the times will be when there are so few men left alive that they are vastly outnumbered by women.\nIt is nothing to do with polygamy but a  warning of bad times to come.

No. As for (sister of Aaron) it refers to a pious man from the children of Israel (not Aaron the bother of Moses peace be upon them both). Mary peace be upon him was called the sister of Aaron because she resembles him in his piety. The word sister is not to be taken literally. This usage of the word exists in the Arabic language and in used in another place in the Quran itself:\n\n"Give the kinsman his due, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and squander not (thy wealth) in wantonness.\n Lo! the squanderers were ever brothers of the devils, and the devil was ever an ingrate to his Lord."[translation of verses 26-27 of ch.17 of the Noble Quran]\n\nOf course no one would take the word brothers here literally, it just means "like, resemble".

She is never named, (to my knowledge) but it would have to be Moses' Mother.  The Daughter of Levi.  Because her only priority in life was to save her son.  She was a pretty cool and unselfish Mother!

Pretty much the quote states that even the more powerful people in the world make mistakes and aren't always correct in their ways of solving problems.  And that a truly good person would be able to see that they're way isn't the right way and will allow other solutions to the problem, as long as the problem gets resolved peacefully.  And that the worst thing a person can do is be too proud to take someone else's advice.  In Antigone, her father I believe (it's been a while since I read this) is so set in his ways and believing he's right, that he won't see things from Antigone's point of view.  Due to his pride, it results in his daughter's death (I'm pretty sure she dies in this), which is not an affective solution to the problem.  I'm sorry I can't remember quotes and things of that sort.  But I hope I put you on the right track!  Good luck!

The closest thing that I can think of is that the Kabbalists label the middle piller of the Ein Sof (the 10 emanations of God) as being "The Son".  But they would make huge distinctions between this concept and how most Christians would see "the Son".
