YouTube uploaded Greek sophist styled entertainers like Yusuf Estes have suggested, that the bible teaches that Adam had the same status in regard to being the Son of God that Jesus did. This Estes video in particular is invariably uploaded by YouTube cowards who censor comments on their videos.
Estes claims to be a Greek language student, but apparently never looked at the Koine Greek for this verse, that he even teaches on, in order to blaspheme God's Word. However a look at the Koine Greek exposes his false claim.
This passage includes a lengthy lineage that begins in verse 23:
http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Luk&c=3&v=38&t=KJV#23Luk 3:23
And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was [the son] of Heli, 24 Which was [the son] of Matthat, which was [the son] of Levi, which was [the son] of Melchi, which was [the son] of Janna, which was [the son] of Joseph,Christians and Muslims both know that Jesus was only Joseph's son in the adoptive sense because Joseph was the husband of Jesus' mother Mary. When they say (as was supposed) refers to the outward appearance of their relationship, to those that didn't know about how Jesus was conceived by Mary.
However Christians and Muslims both believe that Jesus was the only person in human history to be conceived by a virgin, by the will of God.
So that should give us a sense of how the term "son" is used in this passage.
After many "which was [the son] of" it concludes in verse 38 with:
Luk 3:38
Which was [the son] of Enos, which was [the son] of Seth, which was [the son] of Adam, which was [the son] of God. The King James translators sometimes included what they thought might be helper words, in brackets. In this case they stretch from all the way back to verse 23, but unfortunately they also included the same "helper" at the end of the verse in regard to God and Adam. To unregenerates that don't understand that Jesus is how God revealed Himself to us, this could seem to indicate that Adam was [the son] of God. I only say unfortunate because it could only be misunderstood by those that don't understand the things of the Spirit of God, and some like Estes that actually seize on it as an ill conceived "opportunity" to falsely accuse and blaspheme the Word of God.
But how does this verse read in the Koine Greek / English interlinear?
We see the bracketed KJV "helper" words [the son] were added by the translators, and do not exist in the Koine Greek:
Luke 3:38 tou <3588> enwV <1800> tou <3588> {OF ENOS,} shq <4589> tou <3588> {OF SETH,} adam <76> tou <3588> {OF ADAM,} qeou <2316> {OF GOD.}
There is no reference to Adam being any kind of "son" of God.
Adam was indeed
of God. God made him from the dust of the ground.
Gen 2:7
And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Adam could only be imagined to be a son of God, before his fall, in the generic sense, as all regenerate individuals are.
But NOT in the sense of THE ONLY begotten Son of God - conceived by a virgin by the will of God - Jesus Christ.
Footnote:
Estes claims to be a converted Christian pastor, but by his own admission he was never Christian, freely admitting in his testimony that when he and his father were in "Christian" ministry they put money before ministry.
Mat 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Plus it is impossible for a true Christian to become a Muslim:
Mar 13:22
For false Christs and FALSE PROPHETS shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, IF [IT WERE] POSSIBLE, even the elect.
