Romans 8:14-16 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” ‘Adoption’ of Romans 8:15 is huiothesia (hwiy-yo-the-siy'-a): ‘1. the placing as a son. 2. (concretely) adoption. 3. (figuratively) Christian sonship in respect to God.’ ‘Abba’ is Abba (ab-ba'): ‘(vocatively) Abba, father; {referring to or addressing one's father}.’ ‘Children’ of verse 16 is teknon (tek'-non): ‘a child (as produced).’ Evidently not led by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (totally alien to Allah’s prophet), Muhammad suffered from the poverty of the heart that was devoid of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, a filial existence which did ostracize Muhammad from the family of Jehovah of the Christian Bible, therefore, he could not, pathetically, have said, “Abba, Father.” The Book of John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” If Jesus Christ is not the Personage of divine Sonship the Bible will not say so in John 3:16. His Sonship is the Greek monogenes huios. Monogenes (mo-no-ǰe-nees') – only begotten – means: ‘only-born (i.e. sole)’; huios (hwiy-yos') means: ‘1. a son. 2. (of animals) a colt, etc. 3. (broadly) a descendant.’ Huios happens to be the highest form of sonship; the traditional huios is equal in status to his father; and that is the reason why the Jews wanted to stone Jesus for calling God His Father. The uniqueness of the Sonship of Jesus truly translates to the Lord’s asseveration of John 10:30, “I and my Father are one.” Read More
