About the Son of God

In early jewish philosophy they considered creation as a continuously happening. The Logos, or the Son of God, is the dunamis, the creating force by which whole creation comes to being continuously, with all creatures according their own nature. God speaks and it is, so the Word of God is the Logos. Like Philo says: Higher then the word is the speaker. And for that the Logos is the firstborn. The old taoists named it Tau. God is the architect and the Logos is the master-builder and creates men, ho kat' eikona anthropos, the primordial man, as you can see in the small children, who still live according their nature. Philo again: There are two temples of God. One is the cosmos, wherein the firstborn works like a high priest, the divine Logos. The second temple is the soul filled with the Logos. In there the priest is the true man. So the true man is the man who lives according his nature or according the will of God. Spinoza talks about living according Reason. Nowadays we would say according your inner voice or your conscience. If you do so compromisless you at least will fall together with your Self or your Logos and then you are the Logos and the Logos speaks through you and you are the Son or Daughter of God again. It is impossible to do the will of God and your "own" will at the same time, like it is impossible floating on life and manage life at the same time. That is because Buddha says all suffering is caused by the will, so no will no suffering. Your character is the unnatural superimposed what we call second nature, incompatible with your Logos.

Wisdom-scriptures are beyond time for they describe relations in the perennial present, since past and future only exists in your mind. If you realize all scriptures are written by complicated men of letters, translated by other men of letters, you can understand they never talk about reality.

So you have extract time out of historical writings to discover the kernel. The Gospel of John looks quite different if you do so and then you recognize Philo again:

From the beginning is the Word and the Word is with God and the Word is God. The same is in the beginning with God. All thing are non-stop made by him; and without him there is not any thing that is. In him is life; and the life is the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness does not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that light, but was sent to bear witness of that light. That is the true light, which lights every man that comes in the world. He is in the world, and he makes the world and the world does not know him. He comes unto his own, and his own does not receive him. But as many as receive him, to them gives he the power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name; Which are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of the flesh, but of God. And the word makes flesh and dwells among us, and we behold his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him and cries, saying.This is he of whom I speak. He that cometh after me is preferred for me: for he was before me. And of his fulness we all receive, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth comes by Jesus Christ.No man sees God at any time: the only begotten Son, which is in the bossom of the father, declares him. And he still does! 

Ceterum censeo it is a pity all those writers didn.t realize Wittgenstein tells us in the last sentence of his Tractatus Logico-philospicus: 

"of that, you cannot speak about, you have to be silent".
