Re: Jesus Christ!
The theory is that the bible and torah and other religious books were REAL revelations that eventually got corrupted and changed. And so the verse that says Jesus is the SON of God is amongst those, because it couldn't have been there originally if the truth = Jesus is NOT the son of God.
First of all it is not a theory... it is stated so in the Quran.
I have not read most of the replies so maybe some one has already listed these as the reasosn.
- Due to the nature of the Hazrat Esa's birth/conception. It was easy for the people to make the leap to pronounce him son of God. *]While it is true that politics may have played a part in the corruption of the message, however, more plausible reason (at least in my mind) is that the meassage was misunderstood. There are many examples in our own language where the word has two different meanings and a person who is not familiar with the language may go with the wrong one. The title "son of God" was applied in the Old Testament to persons having any special relationship with God.
