Neimenovic the Nt may say that Jesus is the son of God. We are all the sons of God. He was a messenger. The New Testament is full of contradictions by man and translation.
Your wickedness will punish you; your backsliding will rebuke you. Consider then and realize how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the Lord your God and have no awe for me.
4:36. And worship Allâh and associate naught with Him, and be good to parents and near of kin and orphans and the needy and to the neighbour who is related to you and the neighbour who is an alien and to the companion by (your) side and the wayfarer and those whom your right hands possess. Surely, Allâh does not love those who are arrogant, (and) boastful.
It all is to be taken in a way that you can relate. That is what I mean by metaphorically. Please, this is fun. More examples? Do you want me to look up we're it actually says that true believers that are foreign to you are your brothers?

It is, by the very definition, a fucking myth.I'm sorry. I have been trying to be understanding but Damn man. Evolution is real. Evolution is a product of the Universe. The Universe us a product of God. Even if it is all just coincidence it still start d from something. Even if it all started from particles of dust or a big bang, all that came from something. That something is God.

An attempt at literal understanding is counterproductive. Most teachings are metaphorical. It even says that.
What are those lessons, specifically? Just give me an example or two.
How can 'Jesus is the son of god' and 'there is no son of god, he is only a messenger' not contradict each other? It isn't a matter of interpretation, that's what it fucking says.
What is the metaphorical meaning of the bible and the quran?
