That may be the only question for you - but I am interested in the question of whether we are ALL the sons of God, or if only the one you call Christ was.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God:
therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

(1 John 3:1, 5, 21-23)

But why all the worry? Aren't we all the Sons of God?

What's worry got to do with it? Methinks you're playing word games, doc. Please restate your question/assertion more difinitively.

I hate to risk sounding Clintonian, but that depends on what you means by sons of God. In the lowercase, all those who are saved are sons of God, and in the Old Testament angels are called sons of God. However, there is only one Son of God.
