In Bible versus Quran: O sons of God, Worship the LORD in Holy

The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran (5)

This is the fifth article of the series:" The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran".  The Bible says that the Lord God, the Almighty Creator, has SONS who are required to ascribe to the Lord God. The voice of the LORD is hewing fiery flames; the LORD shakes the wilderness, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon and the LORD sits enthroned over the flood. 

On the other hand, the Quran says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.

The Sons of the Lord God in the Bible (5)

 

In his Psalm (29:1-10), King David says:

Ascribe to the LORD "O sons of the mighty" glory and strength, worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness, The voice of the LORD is powerful, it is over the waters, it breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters. The LORD sits enthroned over the flood.

The original Hebrew version says: ascribe to the LORD "O sons of God".

But the original word Sons of God is translated to seven different translations, the nearest one of them is the "sons of the mighty".

 

The Seven different translations of the "Sons of God" in 17 Biblical versions:

In 17 different versions of the Bible, the word "Son of God" is translated to seven different translations; they are sons of the mighty (in four versions), mighty ones (in four versions), heavenly beings (in four versions), mighty (in two versions) and mighty angels, angels in heaven and angels in one version each.

If you smart reader is interested, have a look at these 17 different versions of the Bible at the site of BibleGateway.com.

In addition, the strangest translation of Psalm 29:1 that you ever read is present in "The Message"; it says: "Bravo, God, bravo! Gods and all angels shout, "Encore!"  In awe before the glory, in awe before God's visible power".  This translation is far beyond the original Hebrew one.  Note that the translator(s) uses the word God and Gods and he gives Bravo for both God and Gods!

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.

Furthermore, the Bible gives some informative details about the Sons of the Judah, 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 Judah .

Young's Literal Translation

1A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

2Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.

3The voice of Jehovah [is] on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah [is] on many waters.

4The voice of Jehovah [is] with power, The voice of Jehovah [is] with majesty,

5The voice of Jehovah [is] shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah shivers the cedars of Lebanon.

6And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

7The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames,

8The voice of Jehovah paineth a wilderness, Jehovah paineth the wilderness of Kadesh.

9The voice of Jehovah paineth the oaks, And maketh bare the forests, And in His temple every one saith, `Glory.'

10Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king -- to the age,

The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (5)

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 decisively forbids saying that Allah has a son.

It is not befitting for the Majesty of Allah to take to Himself a son.

Allah has not taken any son either from the Children of Adam or from the angels.

if there were a god along with Allah, each god would have taken away what he created, he would have made it exclusively his and prevented the other [god] from having any mastery over it; and some of them would surely rise up against others, in challenge, just as the kings of this world are wont to do.

Allah is the Knower of the Unseen and the visible, what is hidden and what is observed.  And exalted, magnified, be He above what they associate!, with Him of son or partners.  Allah is far transcendent above all that they ascribe unto Him!

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 name(s) you are giving 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 Almighty 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 meanings of verses 23:91-92

 

The meanings of verse 23:91

Allah has not taken any son either from the Children of Adam or from the angels.

There is no any god along with Him; for then, that is, if there were a god along with Him, each god would have taken away what he created, he would have made it exclusively his and prevented the other [god] from having any mastery over it; and some of them would surely rise up against others, in challenge, just as the kings of this world are wont to do.

Glorified be Allah, an exaltation of Him, above what they ascribe, to Him, of what has been mentioned. Allah exonerated Himself above all that they allege, of all their lies.

 

The meanings of verse 23:92

 

Allah is the Knower of the Unseen and the visible, what is hidden and what is observed.  It is also said that Allah is the Knower of the invisible, that which is unseen by people; it is also said the invisible includes everything that will happen in the future.  And He is the Knower of the visible, which people know; it is also said that the visible includes everything that has already happened.

And exalted, magnified, be He above what they associate!, with Him of son or partners.  Allah is far transcendent above all that they ascribe unto Him!

--------------------------------------------

 

Verses 23:91-92 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

 

Verses 23:91

 

QARIB: Allah has not taken to himself any son, there is no other god with him. were this otherwise each god would have taken that which he created, and some of them would have risen above others; exalted is Allah beyond that they describe!

SHAKIR: never did Allah take to himself a son, and never was there with him any (other) god-- in that case would each god have certainly taken away what he created, and some of them would certainly have overpowered others; glory be to Allah above what they describe!

PICKTHAL: Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any god along with him; else would each god have assuredly championed that which he created, and some of them would assuredly have overcome others. glorified be Allah above all that they allege.

YUSUFALI: no son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! glory to Allah! (he is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to him!

 

Verses 23:92

 

QARIB: (he is) the knower of the unseen and the seen, high exalted be he above that they associate.

SHAKIR: the knower of the unseen and the seen, so may he be exalted above what they associate (with him)

PICKTHAL: knower of the invisible and the visible! and exalted be he over all that they ascribe as partners (unto him!)

YUSUFALI: he knows what is hidden and what is open: too high is he for the partners they attribute to him!

Agape-Love How Important Is It Anyhow? (a Doctrinal Analysis) $14.99 "Did you know that agape (love) is the most prominent theme in the entire New Testament? There are 320 verses that use the root word agape This is a doctrinal analysis of every area in life where godly love will take you, written in an easy-to-comprehend style. God's divine nature can be yours. It is the most rewarding life that God offers both now and in Heaven. The Bible promises these benefits "to all who walk in love," and it has nothing whatever to do with your position or station in life. The benefits are "to fully know God, the fruit of the Spirit, become unblamable in holiness, having all discernment, complete knowledge, to abide in Christ continually, to walk in the Holy Spirit having all power, have all sins covered, and enjoy a magnificent entry into heaven." And there's a whole lot more. Rick Gowdy and his wife Teena have two sons, Derek and Daren, and live in Colorado. Ordained in the ministry in 1976, Rick has served as a missionary assistant in Mexico, an assistant minister in California, a church janitor and youth worker in Arkansas while attending John Brown University, and Social Services Director for Soul's Harbor in Joplin, Missouri. For the last 16 years while trying to find "God's direction," Rick continued to pursue a passion for studying doctrine and theology. Sensing something was missing, he began a study to find out what the Bible states is the most significant priority or duty God requires of us. That endeavor led him to Matthew 22: 36-40. "Love your neighbor as yourself." How significant is this and what does it mean? Consequently, this led him to the find of a lifetime. It transformed his life and he hopes yours too"
