(Psalms 2:7)
A little later in the Bible Solomon also was called
the Son of God :
"He shall build an house for My name: and he shall
be My son, and I will be his Father and I will estab-
lish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever."
(I Chronicles, 22: 10)
This phrase meant nothing more than nearness to
God in love. The founder of Chritianity himself said
that everv man who did the Will of the Father in
Heaven was a soil of God. It was devout life and
kind and merciful behaviour that made a man wor-
thy of being called the son of God. Is this not what
Jesus says in the following sayings:
"Love your enemies... that ye may be the children
of your Father which is in Heaven." (Matthew
5:44,45)
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be
called the sons of God." (Matthew 5:9)
