"Son of God" is a phrase which, according to most Christian denominations Trinitarian in belief, refers to the relationship between Jesus and God, specifically as "God the Son". To a minority of Christians, nontrinitarians, the term "Son of God", applied to Jesus in the New Testament, is accepted, while the non-biblical but less ambiguous "God the Son" is not.
Throughout history, emperors have assumed titles that amount to being "a son of god", "a son of a god" or "son of Heaven". Roman Emperor Augustus referred to his relation to the deified adoptive father, Julius Caesar as "son of a god" via the term divi filius which was later also used by Domitian and is distinct from the use of Son of God in the New Testament.
In the New Testament, the title "Son of God" is applied to Jesus on many occasions. It is often seen as referring to his divinity, from the beginning in the Annunciation up to the Crucifixion. The declaration that Jesus is the Son of God is made by many individuals in the New Testament, and on two separate occasions by God the Father as a voice from Heaven, and is asserted by Jesus himself.

Bale first caught the public eye at the age of 13, when he was cast in the starring role of Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun (1987). He played an English boy who is separated from his parents and subsequently finds himself lost in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. He is also notable for his role as serial killer Patrick Bateman in American Psycho (2000), and for portraying Bruce Wayne/Batman in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and the upcoming finale The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

Ahmed Hoosen Deedat (Arabic: احمد حسين ديدات; 1 July 1918 – 8 August 2005) was a South African writer and public speaker of Indian descent. He was best known as a Muslim missionary who held numerous inter-religious public debates with evangelical Christians, as well as video lectures, most of which centred around Islam, Christianity and the Bible. He also established the IPCI, an international Islamic missionary organisation, and wrote several booklets on Islam and Christianity which were widely distributed by the organisation. He was awarded the prestigious King Faisal International Prize in 1986 for his 50 years of missionary work. One focus of his work was providing Muslims with theological tools for defending themselves against active proselytising by Christian missionaries.[citation needed] He used English to get his message across to Muslims and non-Muslims in the western world.
Ahmed Deedat was born in the town of Tadkeshwar, Surat, Bombay Presidency, British India in 1918. His father had emigrated to South Africa shortly after the birth of Ahmed Deedat. At the age of 9, Deedat left India to join his father in what is now known as Kwazulu-Natal. His mother died only a few months after his departure. Arriving in South Africa, Deedat applied himself with diligence to his studies, overcoming the language barrier and excelling in school, even getting promoted until he completed standard 6. However, due to financial circumstances, he had to quit school and start working by the time he was the age of 16.

On the cross a human shape lost its form, blood and mockers' laughter
Pain and blood-thirsty viewers, bruises and evil words
An innocent man dying slowly and painfully as people watch and despise
Betrayed by a friend, He is left to die
The Son of God
Who has come to take the sins of the world
He was crucified
For all our sins and iniquities, like a lamb led to be slaughtered
He was in the world, and the world was made by Him,
And the world knew Him not
Persecuted and defamed like a malefactor
Cursed for the goodness of His acts
Finally sentenced to the uttermost death
No one knew what this man was intended to do
The Son of God
Who has come to take the sins of the world
He was crucified
For all our sins and iniquities, like a lamb led to be slaughtered
Left to die
That we may gain eternal life
Abandoned
A man of sorrows and suffering, rejected by all
He was in the world, and the world was made by Him,
Hold my hand and walk with me
You're the Light that makes me see
On this path my soul You lead
O my Shepherd walk with me
I need You more than breath
You're my hope in You I live
Angels worship at Your throne
Power and Glory to You alone
My Saviour
Glorious One
My Redeemer
Living in my heart
Now and forever
Your Kingdom come
Jesus Son of God
Jesus Son of God
Jesus, O Jesus
Holy is The Lamb of God
Jesus, O Jesus
This is a story to illustrate that when finally confronted with our sin
there are really only two genuine reactions.
Eternity hinges on whether a soul is defiant or repentant.
And whether or not they are able to believe in the “Son of God”...
1st Thief: IT HURTS!!!
You saved others, Christ! Come on! Save yourself!
If you’re the Son of God come off of the cross.
They say you’re a god! They say you’re a king!
Well I say you’re a man, and I’ll watch you bleed.
You’ve got power! Son of God, now you’re dying.
You’ve got power! Son of God.
Roman Guard:
They came to laugh and jeer, to scoff and to scorn!
“Behold the King of the Jews!” and his crown of thorns.
“We have no king but Caesar!” I heard the priests say.
Well I don’t believe those religious folk ya know,
They’re all hypocrites anyway.
You’ve got power! Son of God, now you’re dying.
You’ve got power! Son of God!
2nd Thief:
Have you no shame!? No godly fear!?
Would you mock innocent blood? You and I, we know why we’re here.
When you come into your Kingdom Lord, would you remember me?
Jesus: Verily today we shall be together in paradise.
2nd Thief: Oh, I’m FREE!
Roman Guard: You’ve got power, Son of God! Now you’re dying!
1st Thief: You’ve got power, Son of God! Now we’re dyin’!
