Jesus’ Divine nature His Divine Sonship His Divinity The Trinity

Sonship denied? 4: 81, 82 Say: "If (Allah) Most Gracious had a son, I would be the first to worship." Glory to the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne (of Authority)! (He is free) from the things they attribute (to him)!

(John 1:1-18; Philippians 2:5- 11) Similarly, the Qur'an calls Jesus the Word of God and the Soul/Spirit of God (4:171,172).
