If Jesus is our brother why religion says He's the only son of God?

You ask a really good question. Jesus, God and the Holy spirit and all one in the same...I know...confusing...its one of those things that just require faith to believe in. But Jesus however, is still the Son of God. But when Jesus became man, he left that behind and was seperated from God. So he was praying to God in the garden, God his father.

Jesus is the "firstborn of all creation; because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible" (Colossians 1:15,16). Which means he was created by God...and is therefore, his son. \n\nThe, I guess, interesting thing is that people say this...and yet say that he IS God...now, isnt' that a contradiction? How can you be a father and son to yourself? How come Jesus died on the stake and yet, the entire world didn't colapse, if, as they believe, he is God? How come so many times he prayed to God...why would he pray to himself?

In Koran, Jesus is mentioned as a highly esteemed prophet who came before prophet Muhammed. Koran rejects the concept of trinity and do not consider Jesus as a GOD or son of GOD. Regarding this Koran says, the similitude of Jesus is the similitude of Adam. Since both of them did not have a father. and that is not necessarily a reason to consider a person Son of GOD. Regarding Bible, Koran do mention that a holy book was revealed to Jesus but they were not preserved to be in orginal form it was revealed.

Jesus is God. Christians who say otherwise either do not know the fundamentals of the faith, are apostate, or are heretics. The Apostle's and Nicene Creeds both affirm this doctrine, and the biblical evidence is overwhelming.\n\nJesus said of Himself that He was God. He applied the name of God, "I AM," to Himself in several passages. Here's a few examples: Matthew 14:27, Mark 6:50, Mark 13:6, Luke 21:8, John 4:26, John 6:20, John 8:24, 28, 58, and John 13:19. (Some English translations have mistranslated the words "I am" to "It is I," or "I am He.")\n\nJesus received worship, which is reserved only for God:\n\n"Then the men in the boat began to worship Jesus, saying, "You certainly are the Son of God!" (Matthew 14:33)\n\n"Suddenly Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" They went up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him." (Matthew 28:9)\n\n"They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy." (Luke 24:52)\n\n"He said, "Lord, I do believe," and worshiped him." (John 9:38)\n\nFurther, the god of Muhammad is not the Father of Jesus. The Qur'an states rather clearly, "Proclaim: Allah is One. Allah is Eternal. He neither begets nor was begotten." (Surah 112:1-4)\n\nIn Christianity, we believe that Jesus was begotten. (John 1:14) And we believe Jesus to be God.\n\nNow, we have a conundrum. Either Islam is right, and Jesus is not God, nor begotten; or Christianity is right, and Jesus is God, and is begotten. We can't have it both ways. Islam will never hold to a belief that Jesus is God. And Christians will not accept that Jesus is not God, and is not begotten. Therefore, they do not worship the same God.\n\nOther "gods" fall short as well.  There is no other true god than the One of the Holy Bible found in the Old and New Testaments.

simple..\n\nTRINITY IS FALSE! its just a made up stories!\nThe truth is God is absolute 1, there is no such thing as God has son..\n\nJesus is only human the messenger of God! Christians was the one who believe Jesus is God.. when Jesus himself never admit he is God, infact he always said he pray, and worship to 1 God in heaven!!

An extreme misinterpretation of the Bible leads some to believe that God is 1 but broken into 3 parts. The idea isn't supported by the Bible at all, and to teach that there's a trinity is to not only lie but to dishonor God and Jesus Christ.\n\nSimply put: THERE IS NO TRINITY. \n\nGod is ONE god, alone. He is not a combination of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God's name according to the Bible (as is most commonly translated) is Jehovah. Jehovah's Son is Jesus Christ (a created being by God according to Colossians 1:15 and Revelation 3:14) and Jesus is a separate being that is in lower position relative to God. The Holy Spirit isn't a being at all, but the most powerful force in the universe, a force that God uses in the accomplishing of his purposes. \n\nThe Bible makes it very clear. There is NO trinity.

This is a difficult question, and I'm not sure I can answer it all satisfactorily, but I think I can help.  \n\nWith the first part, 'no other gods,' Christians don't believe that Jesus is another god, but rather the same one.  Two different facets of the same God (with the Holy Spirit being the third).  What's more, you know that in Genesis, God speaks in the plural 'let's go do this.'  Also, the Hebrew word for God - elohim - is also plural.\n\nSecond, it is true that Jesus never called himself 'God the Son.'  The way he speaks of himself as 'the son of God,' however, is unique.  He says, "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him" (Luke 10:22).  Also, he is called by the Greek word for "one and only son", "mono-genes", means literally, "one in kind, unique."  This seems to contradict the view that we are all sons and daughters of God on the same level as Jesus.  Finally, in John 15:15, Jesus says "I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father."  God is the only person to whom we (humanity in general) could ever reasonably be called slaves.  How could we have been 'slaves' to Christ is he weren't also God?\n\nOne more word on the Trinity: God sent "his spirit" down onto "his son."  Additionally, in Matthew 28:18-20 it's said, "Then Jesus approached and said to them, 'All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.'"\n\nIn the early Church, the Jews celebrated the Sabbath on Saturday, and then Christ's resurrection on Sunday.  The gentiles who entered the Church, however, didn't celebrate the Sabbath, but only the resurrection.  Eventually, the Church accumulated more gentiles, and observation of the Sabbath was fell out, leaving only the celebration of Christ's resurrection.\n\nIn a sense, Paul is claiming to speak for Jesus, but this is warrented.  He is relaying Christ's message, or the spirit of it, to us.  First, recall that although Jesus appeared a second time for Thomas, on that occasion he said "But blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."  Now if they have not seen, how can they believe?  How can they even know about the resurrection?  Obviously, someone has to tell them, someone has to speak for Christ.  Someone like Paul, or any of the apostles.  What is more, that is the mission Jesus gave them.  He sent them out as missionaries to go to the Jews and then to the gentiles.  They were, in essence, his ambassadors to the world.  They spoke for him because he wanted them to; that was their task.  Now, to reconcile the two paths to heaven that you mentioned.  If you truly believe that Jesus is lord and that he rose from death and that he died as sacrifice for our sins as Paul says, then how could we not "love God, love our neighbor, help the poor?"  If we say we believe and yet don't try to do these things, then despite what we may say, we don't truly believe.  The two go hand in hand.

We are all sons of God (and Daughters). We have the same right as Jesus to say "I am a son of God".

During his preaching, Jesus had never called himself as God or Son-God. Now, look upon those people who consider Jesus as God or Son-God. They are, baselessly, blaming even those people who were present at the spot and knew that Jesus was not God or son-god. In other words, the people with the belief that Jesus is God or Son-god; are far more enemies of Jesus who tried to crucify him.\n\n•The people who say that Jesus is God or Son-God or in his guise, the Lord descended upon earth because of God’s love for humanity. They are, baselessly, blaming Jesus and the Lord of Jesus, the both.\nAccording to Jesus, God, the Holy One; is the Saviour of the Whole mankind. God is capable (be God glorified as God is) to relive off every infliction. None of the human beings is saviour beside God. Jesus, himself is also, not a saviour at all. The people who have chosen him as their saviour__ they have denied the Holy One___ who alone is the saviour of Jesus and whole mankind and the act of choosing Jesus as saviour__ is equal to hate the Holy One___ as it is clearly written in the old Testament:-\n\n“I am the Lord your God. Worship no God but Me. Do not make for yourself images of anything in heavens or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it. Because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me, on their descendants, down to third and fourth generation.”\n(Exodus 20:1-5)\n\nNow, ponder over the point that whosoever says that Jesus is God___ Holy Spirit is God___ Mary is God; has he not made an idol beside the One God? While nothing is there in the earth and heavens which could be considered in terms of the One God.\n\nBeware please! A father is a father__ a mother is a mother___ and a son is a son__ and they all are the creatures of God. They cannot be considered as God___ as god is their Creator__ and nothing is like the Lord.\n\nCreatures of God are God’s Creatures they can never be considered as God or as the parts of God. Same is the case of Jesus who is a creature and, as such, can not be considered as God or a part of the Creator or the son of Creator.\n\n•Jesus is not a Saviour. He is not capable, even, to save himself from his enemies. How he can be considered “All-Able” to save everyone on the earth. It is the Lord alone__ Who is the All-Able to save every creature of the universe including the mankind__ as the Lord is already saving__ each of them__ without any desolation and defect.\n\nJesus was born after Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Moses and the numerous other Prophets (peace & blessings of God be upon all of them). If he were the Son-God, then, all of the foregoing Prophets, must have been the believers of Trinity. But the case is not like that at all. None of them was the believer of Trinity, rather, none of them, had, even, heard about the name of Trinity, in their times. Hence, Trinity is nothing else but an invented and artificial concept which has no existence, even, during the time of Jesus. It is, therefore, a rootless concept from all accounts.\n\nPrior to Jesus, the Lord had created Eve, without mother__ and Adam, without mother and father, the both. Afterwards, the Lord created Jesus without father. So the creation of Jesus, without father, is the third instance of the Lord’s all-encompassing creativity___ which is free from all the channels or systems of the birth. Instead, all the channels or systems of the birth are subservient to the all-encompassing and unique creativity of the Lord.\nThe Lord is, therefore, Holy and the Lord must be believed in, as Holy. To ascribe a son unto the Lord__ is a direct assault on the Lord’s Holiness__ which is an unpardonable crime.\n\nsince Adam to Noah__ Noah to Abraham__ Abraham to David, David to Moses__ Moses to Jesus and Jesus to Muhammad (peace & blessings of God be upon all of them) all the Prophets were slaves or servants of the Lord.

JESUS CHRIST IS NOT SON OF GOD:\n\n1. God Is All Knowing.....But Jesus Was Not \n\nWhen speaking of the Day of Judgement, Jesus clearly gave evidence of a limitation on his knowledge when he said, "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the son, but the Father." (Mark 13:32 and Matt. 24:36) \n\n2. God Is All-Powerful.....But Jesus Was Not \n\nWhile Jesus performed many miracles, he himself admitted that the power he had was not his own but was derived from God when he said, "Verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do..." (John 5:19). Again he said, "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which has sent me." (John 5:30) \n\n3. God Does Not Have A God.....But Jesus Did Have A God \n\nGod is the ultimate judge and refuge for all, and He does not call upon nor pray to any others. But Jesus acknowledged that there was One whom he worshipped and to Whom he prayed when he said, "I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God." (John 20:17). He is also reported to have cried out while on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46). If Jesus were God, then couldn't this be read, "Myself, myself, why hast thou forsaken me?". Would that not be pure nonsense? When Jesus prayed the Lord's Prayer (Luke 11:2-4), was he praying to himself? When in the garden of Gethsemane he prayed, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt." (Matt. 26:36). Was Jesus praying to himself? That Jesus, of his own admission and by his own actions, acknowledged, worshipped, and prayed to another being as God is clear proof that Jesus himself is not God. \n\nAccording to the Bible, God is an invisible spirit.... \n\n4. But Jesus Was Flesh And Blood \n\nWhile thousands saw Jesus and heard his voice, Jesus himself said that this could not be done with God when he said: "No man hath seen God at any time." (John 1:18). "Ye have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His shape." (John 5:37) He also said in John 4:24: "God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." Jesus would say that no one had seen or heard God at any time, while his followers both saw and heard him, is clear proof that Jesus was not God. \n\nNO ONE IS GREATER THAN GOD AND NO ONE CAN DIRECT HIM... \nBUT JESUS ACKNOWLEDGED SOMEONE GREATER THAN HIMSELF... \n\n5. Will Was Distinct From His Own \n\nPerhaps the clearest indication we have that Jesus and God are not equal, and therefore not one and the same, comes again from the mouth of Jesus himself who said in John 14:28: "My Father is greater than I." When someone referred to him as a good master in Luke 18:19, Jesus responded: "Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is God..." Furthermore, Jesus drew clear distinctions between himself and God when he said, "I proceeded forth and came from God, neither came I of myself but He sent me." (John 8:42) Jesus gave clear evidence of his subordination to God, rather than his equality with God, when he said in Luke 22:42, "not my will but Thine be done" and in John 5:30, "I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which has sent me." Jesus admitted that he did not come into the world on his own initiative but was directed to do so, he acknowledged another being as greater than himself, and he negated his own will in deference to affirming the will of another. All of the above give clear proof that Jesus is not the Supreme One and therefore Jesus is not God. \n\nConclusion \n\nThe Church recognises the Bible as the primary source of knowledge about God and Jesus. But since the Bible makes
