  God Claims Solomon as His Son---Not Jesus!

  but the word of the lord came to me, saying,...... 9behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and i will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be solomon, and i will give peace and quietness unto israel in his days.

  10he shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and i will be his father; and i will establish the throne of his kingdom over israel for ever.

  (1 chronicles 22:).

  You have incorrectly interpreted the text. Solomon is not God's begotten son (offspring, or naturally begotten). In fact, he can't be. John 3:16, in the King James Version of the bible, says "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

  What the verse you are quoting actually means is that Solomon would be loved by God as if he were His son. This is evident within the context of the message of God's word. For we are all God's creation ( Colossians 1:16 ), and those who are baptised (or "born again") are all accepted as God's children ( John 1:12 ; 11:52 ; Romans 8:16; 1 John 3:1-10 ).

  Jesus is the only way to salvation because he is the only true son of God. Solomon is nothing more than a man, who has no salvation to offer ( Romans 6:23 ).
