160 Prophet Jesus (pbuh): A Prophet, Not A Son, of God

(pbuh) path:
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be sons of your Lord in heaven. He causes His Sun to rise on
the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Israelite people in the Old Testament:
When Israel was a child I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
(Hosea, 11:1)
In another extract from the Old Testament the same expression is
used to describe angels:

One day the sons of God [the angels] came to present themselves before the
LORD, and Satan also came with them. (Job, 1:6)
At the beginning of the Book of Exodus, Chapter 6, the term the sons
of God is employed to describe humans multiplying on the face of the
