There are many "sons of God" (small s).. but there is only one Son of God (upper-case S)
Matt 5:9; "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Rom 8:14; For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Gal 3:26; For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
John 1:12; But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
King James incorrectly says "sons" here, but the word in the Greek here is...
teknon
tek'-non
From the base of G5098; a child (as produced): - child, daughter, son.
Most other translations say...
(AMPC) But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name--[Isa_56:5]
(AMPC+) But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name--[Isa_56:5]
(ASV) But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:

(MKJV) But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become the children of God, to those who believe on His name,
(MSG) But whoever did want him, who believed he was who he claimed and would do what he said, He made to be their true selves, their child-of-God selves.
(NAS77) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,

(RV) But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:
(TPT) But those who embraced him and took hold of his name were given authority to become the children of God!
Acts 2:17; 'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;
Mark 1:1; The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Depending how your Bible puts these verses, Satan could be called a son of God.
Job 1:6; Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them
Job 2:1; Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the LORD.
It seems Satan is "among"st the sons of God. Most scholars believe in this context.. sons of God are angels.

God is Masculine....get over it!

God is spirit and spirit has no gender or ethnicity. He was revealing who God is to a Patriarchal Culture and thus had to be revealed as "masculine" to catch the respect and identity of these people. When God creates humanity in His own image He creates them Male AND Female...in the image of God created He THEM. When He formed them He formed the male first but this was not so in creation. Creation (bara) precedes formation (Yatzar - to make) in the Scriptures. We sewe the same sequence with land plants (tho I am sure it is true of all plants even those in the seas).

Any understanding of God that is "what we want Him to be" is NOT God. God is Spirit and Spirit has no gender.

How do you know?
We will ALL be Spirits soon, so none of us will have a gender?

typical new age thinking and incorrect. Gender isn't just your genitals, its your countenance, women are not men mentally, nor are men women. Despite what Satan and the new age church states. we will be sons and daughters of Christ, you dont get to choose your gender nor choose sexual immorality/depravity.
Brother Paul

No! What you were here, you will be. God existed before gender. The image of God, in which we were created was manifest as male AND female, and NO I am NOT saying God is a Hernaphrodite. And NO this is not some Gnostic bull. God has the spiritual qualities of both. In temporal creation. they are separated. Physical genders were created for the purpose of pro-Creation. if God is a male then males are superior and like God and women are not.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
(Mark 12:24-25 KJV)
