#TheSonOfGod
Why did Jesus need to be presented as the "Son of God?"
This was a hot topic during the Council of Nicaea.
This is a Pegan concept and goes back to Zeus, Hercules, and the preceding history of demigods or godmen on earth.
This is not part of the Jewish reinterpretation of God.
Abraham's god is largely an external concept, He can be invoked but never completely embodied as Pharaoh does.
This is why these 2 faiths were never going to peacefully unite and should have been allowed to exist as divided understandings of the same concept, but Christians needed the Jewish faith to function.
Muhammad was a man that fought, not only to unite his people but, correct that issue and balance his faith with the Christian and Semite.
However, again Christ's godhood was a major point of contention.
The Christian church had built an identity from Christ's divinity.
The fact that Islam denied Christ's divinity forced a choice on the Christian church.
They could reform and change their stance on what Christ was to fall in line with Judaism and Islam and potentially unite the faiths over time, or not, and kill on that hill.
Our modern-day social dynamic is largely a spiritual consequence of that choice, consciously made or not.
It is why, even today, the other side won't back down on their position no matter how destructive it is, the sins of the father.
Also, Buddha similarly represents balance by reinterpreting the pagan understanding of the internal or the god within for the new age, a counterweight to the unbalanced heavenly father understanding.
