I know because I am the servant of God, the son.

If the son frees you, you shall truly be free.

If you serve God as His spokesman you are freed by truth, God's word.
I appreciate this view, as one for whom the jury is still out over Trinitarianism, yet is certain that we are all sons of God.

It may be beneficial for you to explain how you believe there is some misunderstanding.

I'm reminded of a Bryn Haworth song - Love and Understanding. I believe Father accepts us as we are, and sees what we will be, from glory unto glory, as He works in us. There's at least 2 sides to love. The contradiction arises from a Father who does not judge us: Is there anything wrong?, No; Could one be or do better?, Yes.

Amen! But the word "born" when referring to a male is translated as "conceived" or "begotten" (as in insemination) NOT birth.
